1. |
The song of songs, which is Solomon`s.
|
|
2. |
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For thy love is better than wine.
|
|
3. |
Thine ointments savour sweetly; Thy name is an ointment poured forth: Therefore do the virgins love thee.
|
|
4. |
Draw me, we will run after thee! -- The king hath brought me into his chambers -- We will be glad and rejoice in thee, We will remember thy love more than wine. They love thee uprightly.
|
|
5. |
I am black, but comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon.
|
|
6. |
Look not upon me, because I am black; Because the sun hath looked upon me. My mother`s children were angry with me: They made me keeper of the vineyards; Mine own vineyard have I not kept.
|
|
7. |
Tell me, thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest thy flock, Where thou makest it to rest at noon; For why should I be as one veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions?
|
|
8. |
If thou know not, thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds` booths.
|
|
9. |
I compare thee, my love, To a steed in Pharaoh`s chariots.
|
|
10. |
Thy cheeks are comely with bead-rows, Thy neck with ornamental chains.
|
|
11. |
We will make thee bead-rows of gold With studs of silver.
|
|
12. |
While the king is at his table, My spikenard sendeth forth its fragrance.
|
|
13. |
A bundle of myrrh is my beloved unto me; He shall pass the night between my breasts.
|
|
14. |
My beloved is unto me a cluster of henna-flowers In the vineyards of Engedi.
|
|
15. |
Behold, thou art fair, my love; Behold, thou art fair: thine eyes are doves.
|
|
16. |
Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; Also our bed is green.
|
|
17. |
The beams of our houses are cedars, Our rafters are cypresses.
