Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
As
the
chorus
of
`Mahanaim.'
How beautiful were
thy feet with sandals
, O daughter of
Nadib.
The turnings
of thy sides
`
are '
as
ornaments
, Work of the hands of an
artificer
.
How beautiful are
thy feet with shoes
, O prince's
daughter !
the joints
of thy thighs
are like
jewels
, the
work of the hands of a
cunning
workman
.
Thy waist
`
is '
a basin
of
roundness
, It
lacketh
not the
mixture,
Thy body
a
heap of wheat ,
fenced
with lilies ,
Thy navel
is like
a round
goblet
, which
wanteth
not liquor:
thy belly
is
like
an
heap of wheat set
about
with lilies .
Thy two breasts as
two young ones,
twins of
a
roe,
Thy two breasts are
like
two young roes
that
are
twins .
Thy neck as a tower of the
ivory ,
Thine eyes pools
in Heshbon, near
the gate of Bath-Rabbim,
Thy face
as a
tower of Lebanon looking
to
Damascus ,
Thy neck is
as a tower of ivory ;
thine eyes like
the
fishpools
in Heshbon, by
the gate of Bathrabbim:
thy nose
is
as the
tower of Lebanon which
looketh
toward
Damascus .
Thy
head upon thee as
Carmel, And the locks
of thy
head as
purple ,
The king is bound
with
the flowings!
Thine
head upon thee is
like
Carmel, and the hair
of thine
head like
purple ;
the king is held
in
the galleries.
How fair and how pleasant hast
thou been
, O love, in
delights .
How fair and how pleasant art
thou, O love, for
delights !
This thy stature hath
been
like to a palm, And thy breasts to clusters.
This thy stature is
like to a palm tree
, and thy breasts to clusters of
grapes
.
I said, `Let
me
go up on
the palm, Let
me
lay
hold on
its
boughs ,
Yea,
let
thy breasts be ,
I
pray
thee,
as clusters of the vine, And the fragrance
of thy face
as
citrons,
I said, I
will
go up to
the palm tree
, I
will
take
hold of
the
boughs thereof:
now
also
thy breasts shall
be as clusters of the vine, and the smell
of thy nose
like
apples;
And thy palate
as
the good
wine --'
Flowing
to
my beloved in
uprightness
, Strengthening
the lips of the
aged!
And the
roof
of
thy mouth
like
the best
wine for
my beloved, that
goeth
down
sweetly,
causing
the lips of those
that
are
asleep
to
speak.
I `
am '
my beloved's, and on
me
`is'
his desire.
I am my beloved's, and his desire is
toward
me
.
Come, my beloved, we
go forth to
the field ,
Come, my beloved, let
us
go forth into
the field ;
let
us
lodge
in
the
villages.
We
lodge
in
the
villages,
we
go
early to the vineyards ,
We
see if the vine hath
flourished
, The sweet
smelling-flower
hath
opened.
The pomegranates have
blossomed,
There do
I give to
thee my loves ;
Let
us
get
up
early to the vineyards ;
let
us
see if the vine flourish
, whether
the tender
grape
appear,
and
the pomegranates bud
forth:
there will
I give thee my loves .
The mandrakes have
given
fragrance
, And at our openings
all pleasant things
, New ,
yea,
old, my
beloved,
I laid up for thee !
The mandrakes give
a
smell
, and at our gates
are
all manner
of
pleasant fruits
, new and
old, which
I have
laid up for thee ,
O
my
beloved.
