1I am the rose of Sharon, And the lily of the valleys.1I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valley.
2Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.2Like a lily among the thorns is my darling among the maidens.
3Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down in his shade with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.3Like an apricot tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.4He has brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me is love.
5Sustain me with cakes of raisins, Refresh me with apples, For I am lovesick.5Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.
6His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.6His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
7I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.7O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
8The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.8Listen! My beloved approaches. Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills.
9My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he stands behind our wall; He is looking through the windows, Gazing through the lattice.9My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look, he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice.
10My beloved spoke, and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.10My beloved calls to me, “Arise, my darling. Come away with me, my beautiful one.
11For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.11For now the winter is past; the rain is over and gone.
12The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.12The flowers have appeared in the countryside; the season of singing has come, and the cooing of turtledoves is heard in our land.
13The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines with the tender grapes Give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!13The fig tree ripens its figs; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come away, my darling; come away with me, my beautiful one.”
14“O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely.”14O my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the crevices of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your countenance is lovely.
15Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.15Catch for us the foxes—the little foxes that ruin the vineyards—for our vineyards are in bloom.
16My beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies.16My beloved is mine and I am his; he pastures his flock among the lilies.
17Until the day breaks And the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, And be like a gazelle Or a young stag Upon the mountains of Bether.17Before the day breaks and shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of Bether.
