| 1:1 |
Solomon's Song of Songs.
|
| 1:2 |
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine.
|
| 1:3 |
Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you!
|
| 1:4 |
Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers.
|
| 1:5 |
Dark am I, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon.
|
| 1:6 |
Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected.
|
| 1:7 |
Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends?
|
| 1:8 |
If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds.
|
| 1:9 |
I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh.
|
| 1:10 |
Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
|
| 1:11 |
We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.
|
| 1:12 |
While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
|
| 1:13 |
My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
|
| 1:14 |
My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
|
| 1:15 |
How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.
|
| 1:16 |
How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant.
|
| 1:17 |
The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs.
