The Shulammite Bride’s Desire
1 The [fn]Song H7892 of Songs H7892, which H834 is Solomon’s H8010.
2 “[fn]May he kiss H5401 me with the kisses H5390 of his mouth H6310!
For your love H1730 is better H2896 than H4480 wine H3196.
3 “Your oils H8081 have a pleasing H2896 fragrance H7381,
Your name H8034 is like [fn]purified H7324 oil H8081;
Therefore H5921 H3651 the [fn]maidens H5959 love H157 you.
4 “Draw H4900 me after H310 you and let us run H7323 together!
The king H4428 has brought H935 me into his chambers H2315.”
“[fn]We will rejoice H1523 in you and be H8055 glad H8055;
We will [fn]extol H2142 your love H1730 more H4480 than H4480 wine H3196.
Rightly H4339 do they love H157 you.”
5 “[fn]I am black H7838 but lovely H5000,
O daughters H1323 of Jerusalem H3389,
Like the tents H168 of Kedar H6938,
Like the curtains H3407 of Solomon H8010.
6 “Do not look H7200 at me because I am [fn]swarthy H7840,
For the sun H8121 has burned H7805 me.
My mother’s H517 sons H1121 were H2734 angry H2734 with me;
They made H7760 me caretaker H5201 of the vineyards H3754,
But I have not taken H5201 care H5201 of my own vineyard H3754.
7 “Tell H5046 me, O you whom H7945 my soul H5315 loves H157,
Where H351 do you shepherd H7462 your flock,
Where H351 do you make it lie H7257 down H7257 at noon H6672?
For why H4100 should I be like one who [fn]veils H5844 herself
Beside H5921 the flocks H5739 of your companions H2270?”
Solomon and His Bride Extol Each Other
8 “[fn]If H518 you yourself do not know H3045,
Most beautiful H3303 among women H802,
Go H3318 forth H3318 on the trail H6119 of the flock H6629
And pasture H7462 your young H1429 goats H1429
By the dwellings H4908 of the shepherds H7462.
9 “To a mare H5484 of mine H5484 among the chariots H7393 of Pharaoh H6547
I compare H1819 you, O my darling H7474.
10 “Your cheeks H3895 are lovely H4998 with ornaments H8447,
Your neck H6677 with strings H2737 of H2737 [fn]beads H2737.”
11 “[fn]We will make H6213 for you ornaments H8447 of gold H2091
With beads H5351 of silver H3701.”
12 “[fn]While H5704 the king H4428 was at his [fn]banqueting H5424 table H4524,
My [fn]perfume H5373 gave H5414 forth its fragrance H7381.
13 “My beloved H1730 is to me a pouch H6872 of myrrh H4753
Which lies H3885 all H3885 night H3885 between H996 my breasts H7699.
14 “My beloved H1730 is to me a cluster H811 of henna H3724 blossoms
In the vineyards H3754 of Engedi H5872.”
15 “[fn]Behold H2009, you are beautiful H3303, my darling H7474,
Behold H2009, you are beautiful H3303!
Your eyes H5869 are like doves H3123.”
16 “[fn]Behold H2009, you are handsome H3303, my beloved H1730,
Indeed H637, so pleasant H5273!
Indeed H637, our couch H6210 is luxuriant H7488!
