Young's Literal Translation
O
that
you
were
to
me
like
a brother who
nursed
at
my
mother’s
breasts !
If
I found
you
outdoors
, I would
kiss you
, and
no
one
would
despise me .
Who
doth
make
thee
as
a brother to
me,
Sucking
the
breasts of
my
mother?
I find
thee
without
, I kiss thee
, Yea,
they
do
not
despise me ,
I would
lead you
and
bring you
to
the
house
of
my mother
who
taught
me .
I would
give
you
spiced
wine
to drink, the nectar
of my pomegranates.
I lead thee,
I
bring thee
in
unto
my mother's
house,
She
doth
teach
me ,
I cause
thee
to drink of
the
perfumed
wine
, Of
the juice
of my pomegranate,
His left hand is under my head, and his right arm
embraces
me.
His left hand `
is '
under my head, And his right doth
embrace
me.
O
daughters of Jerusalem, I
adjure
you:
Do
not
arouse
or
awaken
love
until
the time
is
right.
I
have
adjured
you,
daughters of Jerusalem, How
ye
stir
up,
And
how
ye
wake
the love
till
she
please!
Who is this coming up
from the wilderness, leaning
on
her beloved? I
roused
you
under the apple
tree ;
there your
mother conceived
you;
there she travailed
and
brought
you
forth
.
Who `
is '
this coming from the wilderness, Hasting
herself
for
her beloved? Under the citron-
tree I
have
waked
thee,
There did
thy
mother pledge
thee,
There she gave
a
pledge
`that'
bare
thee
.
Set me as a seal over
your
heart, as a seal upon
your
arm .
For love
is
as
strong as death, its
jealousy
as
unrelenting
as Sheol .
Its sparks
are fiery
flames
, the
fiercest
blaze
of all.
Set me as a seal on
thy
heart, as a seal on
thine
arm ,
For strong as death is
love
, Sharp
as Sheol is
jealousy,
Its burnings
`
are '
burnings
of
fire
, a
flame
of Jah!
Mighty
waters cannot
quench love ;
rivers
cannot
sweep
it away. If a
man
were
to
give all the wealth of his house for love, his
offer
would
be
utterly
scorned
.
Many
waters are
not
able
to
quench the
love ,
And
floods
do
not
wash
it away. If one
give all the wealth of his house for love, Treading
down
--
they
tread
upon
it
.
We have a little sister, and her
breasts are
not yet
grown.
What shall
we do for our sister on
the day she
is spoken
for
?
We have a little sister, and breasts she
hath
not ,
What do
we do for our sister ,
In
the day that
it
is told
of
her
?
If she is a wall, we will
build a tower
of silver to
protect
her
. If she is a door, we will
enclose
her with
panels
of cedar.
If she is a wall, we build by
her
a palace
of silver. And
if she is a door, We fashion
by
her board-work
of cedar.
I am a wall, and my breasts are
like
towers .
So
I have become
in his eyes like
one who
brings
peace.
I `
am '
a wall, and my breasts as
towers ,
Then
I have been
in his eyes as
one finding
peace.
Solomon had
a vineyard in Baal-hamon .
He leased
it
to
the tenants.
For its fruit ,
each
was
to
bring
a thousand shekels
of
silver.
Solomon hath
a vineyard in Baal-Hamon ,
He hath
given
the vineyard
to
keepers,
Each
bringeth
for its fruit a thousand silverlings;
But
my own
vineyard is mine
to
give;
the thousand shekels
are
for you
, O Solomon ,
and two hundred are
for those who
tend
its fruit.
My vineyard --
my
own
--
is before
me,
The thousand `is'
for thee
, O Solomon .
And the
two hundred for those keeping
its fruit. O
dweller
in
gardens!
You
who
dwell
in
the gardens,
my
companions are listening
for
your
voice .
Let
me hear it!
The companions are attending
to
thy
voice ,
Cause
me to
hear .
Flee,
my
beloved,
and
be
like
to
a
roe,
Come
away,
my
beloved,
and
be
like
a
gazelle
or a young stag
on
the mountains of spices .
Or to
a young one
of
the harts
on
mountains of spices !
