King James BibleNET Bible
1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.1I am a meadow flower from Sharon, a lily from the valleys.
2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.2Like a lily among the thorns, so is my darling among the maidens.
3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.3Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so 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 brought me into the banquet hall, and he looked at me lovingly.
5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.5Sustain me with raisin cakes, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. The Double Refrain: Embracing and Adjuration
6His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.6His left hand caresses my head, and his right hand stimulates me.
7I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.7I adjure you, O maidens of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and by the young does of the open fields: Do not awaken or arouse love until it pleases!
8The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.8Listen! My lover is approaching! Look! Here he comes, leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills!
9My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.9My lover is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look! There he stands behind our wall, gazing through the window, peering through the lattice.
10My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.10My lover spoke to me, saying: "Arise, my darling; My beautiful one, come away with me!
11For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;11Look! The winter has passed, the winter rains are over and gone.
12The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;12The pomegranates have appeared in the land, the time for pruning and singing has come; the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.13The fig tree has budded, the vines have blossomed and give off their fragrance. Arise, come away my darling; my beautiful one, come away with me!"
14O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.14O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountain crags, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
15Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.15Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes, that ruin the vineyards--for our vineyard is in bloom.
16My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.16My lover is mine and I am his; he grazes among the lilies.
17Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.17Until the dawn arrives and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved--be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountain gorges.
