Он:

– Я вошёл в сад мой, сестра моя, невеста моя;
    я собрал мою мирру с пряностями моими,
поел моего мёда из сотов,
    напился вина моего с молоком моим.

Молодые женщины:

– Ешьте, друзья, и пейте!
    Пейте и насыщайтесь, возлюбленные!

Она:

– Я спала, но сердце моё бодрствовало.
    Послушайте! Возлюбленный мой стучится:
«Открой мне, сестра моя, милая моя,
    голубка моя, чистая моя.
Голова моя промокла от росы,
    волосы мои – от ночной влаги».
Я уже сняла одежду свою,
    как же мне снова одеться?
Я вымыла ноги свои,
    как же мне снова их пачкать?
Возлюбленный мой просунул руку свою в скважину двери,
    и сердце моё затрепетало.
Я поднялась, чтобы отпереть возлюбленному моему,
    с рук моих капала мирра,
с пальцев моих капала мирра
    на ручки замка.
Я открыла возлюбленному моему,
    но его уже не было – он ушёл.
    Сердце моё опечалилось из-за его ухода.[a]
Я искала его, но не нашла,
    звала, но он не откликался.
Нашли меня стражи,
    обходящие город.
Они избили меня, изранили
    и забрали накидку мою,
    стражи, стерегущие стены.
Дочери Иерусалима, я заклинаю вас,
    если встретите возлюбленного моего,
передайте ему,
    что я изнемогаю от любви.

Молодые женщины:

– Чем возлюбленный твой лучше других,
    прекраснейшая из женщин?
Чем возлюбленный твой лучше других,
    что ты заклинаешь нас так?

Она:

10 – Возлюбленный мой здоров и румян,
    ему нет равных.[b]
11 Голова его – чистое золото;
    волосы его – волнистые,
    чёрные, как вороново крыло.
12 Глаза его, как голуби
    при потоках вод,
купающиеся в молоке,
    сидящие у стремнины.
13 Щёки его, словно грядки пряностей,
    издающих аромат.
Губы его, словно лилии,
    источающие мирру.
14 Руки его – золотые жезлы,
    украшенные хризолитом.
Живот его, словно изделие из слоновой кости,
    покрытое сапфирами.
15 Ноги его – мраморные столбы,
    установленные на подножиях из чистого золота.
Его вид величествен, как горы Ливана,
    изыскан, как ливанские кедры.
16 Уста его – сама сладость,
    и всё в нём желанно.
Вот каков мой возлюбленный, вот каков мой друг,
    о дочери Иерусалима!

I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?

My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.

I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?

10 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.

11 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

12 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.

13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.

14 His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.

15 His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

16 His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
