# Chapter 1
|
|
1. The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.
|
|
|
|
2. Oh, that he would kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
|
|
For your caresses are more delightful than wine.
|
|
|
|
3. The fragrance of your perfume is intoxicating;
|
|
your name is perfume poured out.
|
|
No wonder young women adore you.
|
|
|
|
4. Take me with you--let's hurry.
|
|
Oh, that the king would bring me to his chambers.
|
|
We will rejoice and be glad in you;
|
|
we will celebrate your caresses more than wine.
|
|
It is only right that they adore you.
|
|
|
|
5. Daughters of Jerusalem,
|
|
I am dark like the tents of Kedar,
|
|
yet lovely like the curtains of Solomon.
|
|
|
|
6. Do not stare at me because I am dark,
|
|
for the sun has gazed on me.
|
|
My mother's sons were angry with me;
|
|
they made me take care of the vineyards.
|
|
I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
|
|
|
|
7. Tell me, you whom I love:
|
|
Where do you pasture your sheep?
|
|
Where do you let them rest at noon?
|
|
Why should I be like one who veils herself
|
|
beside the flocks of your companions?
|
|
|
|
8. If you do not know,
|
|
most beautiful of women,
|
|
follow the tracks of the flock,
|
|
and pasture your young goats
|
|
near the shepherds' tents.
|
|
|
|
9. I compare you, my darling,
|
|
to a mare among Pharaoh's chariots.
|
|
|
|
10. Your cheeks are beautiful with jewelry,
|
|
your neck with its necklace.
|
|
|
|
11. We will make gold jewelry for you,
|
|
accented with silver.
|
|
|
|
12. While the king is on his couch,
|
|
my perfume releases its fragrance.
|
|
|
|
13. The one I love is a sachet of myrrh to me,
|
|
spending the night between my breasts.
|
|
|
|
14. The one I love is a cluster of henna blossoms to me,
|
|
in the vineyards of En-gedi.
|
|
|
|
15. How beautiful you are, my darling.
|
|
How very beautiful!
|
|
Your eyes are doves.
|
|
|
|
16. How handsome you are, my love.
|
|
How delightful!
|
|
Our bed is verdant;
|
|
|
|
17. the beams of our house are cedars,
|
|
and our rafters are cypresses.
