新妇请新郎同适葡萄园

王女啊,你的脚在鞋中何其美好!你的大腿圆润好像美玉,是巧匠的手做成的。 你的肚脐如圆杯,不缺调和的酒。你的腰如一堆麦子,周围有百合花。 你的两乳好像一对小鹿,就是母鹿双生的。 你的颈项如象牙台。你的眼目像希实本巴特拉并门旁的水池。你的鼻子仿佛朝大马士革黎巴嫩塔。 你的头在你身上好像迦密山,你头上的发是紫黑色,王的心因这下垂的发绺系住了。 我所爱的,你何其美好,何其可悦,使人欢畅喜乐! 你的身量好像棕树,你的两乳如同其上的果子累累下垂。 我说我要上这棕树,抓住枝子。愿你的两乳好像葡萄累累下垂,你鼻子的气味香如苹果, 你的口如上好的酒。女子说:为我的良人下咽舒畅,流入睡觉人的嘴中。

10 我属我的良人,他也恋慕我。 11 我的良人,来吧!你我可以往田间去,你我可以在村庄住宿。 12 我们早晨起来往葡萄园去,看看葡萄发芽开花没有,石榴放蕊没有,我在那里要将我的爱情给你。 13 风茄放香,在我们的门内有各样新陈佳美的果子,我的良人,这都是我为你存留的。

How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
    O (A)noble daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like (B)jewels,
    the work of (C)a master hand.
Your navel is a rounded bowl
    that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat,
    encircled with (D)lilies.
(E)Your two breasts are like two fawns,
    twins of a gazelle.
Your (F)neck is like an ivory tower.
Your (G)eyes are pools in (H)Heshbon,
    by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower of (I)Lebanon,
    which looks toward (J)Damascus.
Your head crowns you like (K)Carmel,
    and your (L)flowing locks are like purple;
    a king is held captive in the tresses.

(M)How beautiful and (N)pleasant you are,
    O loved one, with all your delights![a]
Your stature is like a palm tree,
    and your breasts are like its clusters.
I say I will climb the palm tree
    and lay hold of its fruit.
Oh may your breasts be like (O)clusters of the vine,
    and the scent of your breath like apples,
and your (P)mouth[b] like the best wine.

She

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
    gliding over lips and teeth.[c]

10 (Q)I am my beloved's,
    (R)and his desire is for me.

The Bride Gives Her Love

11 (S)Come, my beloved,
    let us go out into the fields
    and lodge in the villages;[d]
12 let us go out early to the vineyards
    (T)and see whether the vines have budded,
whether (U)the grape blossoms have opened
    and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
13 (V)The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
    and beside our doors are all choice fruits,
(W)new as well as old,
    which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
