# Chapter 1
|
|
1 The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.
|
|
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
|
|
For your love is better than wine;
|
|
3 your anointing oils are fragrant;
|
|
your name is oil poured out;
|
|
therefore virgins love you.
|
|
4 Draw me after you; let us run.
|
|
The king has brought me into his chambers.
|
|
We will exult and rejoice in you;
|
|
we will extol your love more than wine;
|
|
rightly do they love you.
|
|
5 I am very dark, but lovely,
|
|
O daughters of Jerusalem,
|
|
like the tents of Kedar,
|
|
like the curtains of Solomon.
|
|
6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
|
|
because the sun has looked upon me.
|
|
My mother's sons were angry with me;
|
|
they made me keeper of the vineyards,
|
|
but my own vineyard I have not kept!
|
|
7 Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
|
|
where you pasture your flock,
|
|
where you make it lie down at noon;
|
|
for why should I be like one who veils herself
|
|
beside the flocks of your companions?
|
|
8 If you do not know,
|
|
O most beautiful among women,
|
|
follow in the tracks of the flock,
|
|
and pasture your young goats
|
|
beside the shepherds' tents.
|
|
9 I compare you, my love,
|
|
to a mare among Pharaoh's chariots.
|
|
10 Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
|
|
your neck with strings of jewels.
|
|
11 We will make for you ornaments of gold,
|
|
studded with silver.
|
|
12 While the king was on his couch,
|
|
my nard gave forth its fragrance.
|
|
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh
|
|
that lies between my breasts.
|
|
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
|
|
in the vineyards of Engedi.
|
|
15 Behold, you are beautiful, my love;
|
|
behold, you are beautiful;
|
|
your eyes are doves.
|
|
16 Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly delightful.
|
|
Our couch is green;
|
|
17 the beams of our house are cedar;
|
|
our rafters are pine. |
