1How beautiful are your feet in sandals, daughter of preparation, and the form of your thighs as a necklace, the work of the hands of a Craftsman! 2Your navel is a goblet that is round that lacks no mixture in it. Your belly is a heap of wheat that is enclosed in lilies 3Your two breasts are as two fawns, twins of deer that feed in the lilies 4Your neck is like a tower of ivory. Your eyes as the pools of Kheshbon at the gate of the palace of the great ones. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon that gazes at the face of Darmsuq 5Your head upon you is like Karmela and the tresses of your head like the purple garment of the King that is tied in rows 6How beautiful you are! How sweet you are, oh beloved daughter of delights! 7And this your stature is like a palm tree and your breasts are like grape clusters! 8I said:"I shall go up into the palm tree and I shall seize on its branches, and your breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the fragrance of your face is like apples 9And your palate is like fine wine that goes to my beloved for uprightness that shakes my lips and my teeth 10I am my beloved's and his inclination is toward me 11Come, my beloved, let us go out to the field! We will stay in a village! 12And we shall go early into the vineyard; we will see if the vine has borne fruit and the buds have come out and the pomegranates have budded; there I shall give you my breasts 13The mandrakes have given a fragrance, and all our fruits, new ones and old ones, my beloved, I have kept for you upon our gates The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
