Awit ng mga Awit 8
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
8 Oh ikaw sana'y naging aking kapatid, na humitit ng mga suso ng aking ina! Pagka nasumpungan kita sa labas, hahagkan kita; Oo, at walang hahamak sa akin.
2 Aking papatnubayan ka, at dadalhin kita sa bahay ng aking ina, na magtuturo sa akin; aking paiinumin ka ng hinaluang alak, ng katas ng aking granada.
3 Ang kaniyang kaliwang kamay ay malalagay sa ilalim ng aking ulo, at ang kaniyang kanang kamay ay yayakap sa akin.
4 Pinagbibilinan ko kayo, Oh mga anak na babae ng Jerusalem, na huwag ninyong pukawin o gisingin man ang sinta ko, hanggang sa ibigin niya.
5 Sino itong umaahong mula sa ilang, na humihilig sa kaniyang sinisinta? Sa ilalim ng punong mansanas ay ginising kita: doon nagdamdam sa iyo ang iyong ina, doon nagdamdam yaong nanganak sa iyo.
6 Ilagay mo akong pinakatatak sa iyong puso, pinakatatak sa iyong bisig: sapagka't ang pagsinta ay malakas na parang kamatayan, panibugho ay mabagsik na parang Sheol: ang mga liyab niyaon ay parang mga liyab ng apoy, isang pinaka liyab ng Panginoon.
7 Ang maraming tubig ay hindi makapapatay sa pagsinta, ni mapauurong man ng mga baha; kung ibigay ng lalake ang lahat na laman ng kaniyang bahay dahil sa pagsinta, siya'y lubos na kukutyain.
8 Tayo'y may isang munting kapatid na babae, at siya'y walang mga suso: ano ang ating gagawin sa ating kapatid na babae sa araw na siya'y ipakikiusap?
9 Kung siya'y maging isang kuta, pagtatayuan natin siya ng moog na pilak: at kung siya'y maging isang pintuan, ating tatakpan ng mga tablang sedro.
10 Ako'y isang kuta, at ang aking mga suso ay parang mga moog niyaon: ako nga'y naging sa harap ng kaniyang mga mata ay parang nakakasumpong ng kapayapaan.
11 Si Salomon ay may ubasan sa Baal-hamon; kaniyang pinaupahan ang ubasan sa mga tagapamahala; bawa't isa'y nagdadala dahil sa bunga niyaon ng isang libong putol na pilak.
12 Ang aking ubasan na akin ay nasa harap ko; ikaw, Oh Salomon, ay magkakaroon ng libo, at ang nangagiingat ng bunga niyaon ay dalawang daan.
13 Ikaw na tumatahan sa mga halamanan, ang mga kasama ay nangakikinig ng iyong tinig: iparinig mo sa akin.
14 Ikaw ay magmadali, sinisinta ko, at ikaw ay maging parang usa o batang usa sa mga bundok ng mga especia.
Song of Songs 8
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
8 If only I could treat you like my brother,[a]
one who nursed at my mother’s breasts,
I would find you in public and kiss you,
and no one would scorn me.
2 I would lead you, I would take you,
to the house of my mother(A) who taught me.[b]
I would give you spiced wine to drink
from the juice of my pomegranate.
3 May his left hand be under my head,
and his right arm embrace me.(B)
4 Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you,
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.(C)
Young Women
5 Who is this(D) coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on the one she loves?
Woman
I awakened you under the apricot tree.(E)
There your mother conceived you;
there she conceived and gave you birth.
6 Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm.(F)
For love is as strong as death;(G)
jealousy is as unrelenting as Sheol.
Love’s flames are fiery flames(H) –
an almighty flame![c]
7 A huge torrent cannot extinguish love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If a man were to give all his wealth[d] for love,(I)
it would be utterly scorned.
Brothers
8 Our sister is young;
she has no breasts.(J)
What will we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build a silver barricade on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with cedar planks.(K)
Woman
11 Solomon owned a vineyard in Baal-hamon.(L)
He leased the vineyard to tenants.(M)
Each was to bring for his fruit
one thousand pieces of silver.(N)
12 I have my own vineyard.[h](O)
The one thousand are for you, Solomon,
but two hundred for those who take care of its fruits.

Song of Songs 8
New International Version
8 If only you were to me like a brother,
who was nursed at my mother’s breasts!
Then, if I found you outside,
I would kiss you,
and no one would despise me.
2 I would lead you
and bring you to my mother’s house(A)—
she who has taught me.
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
the nectar of my pomegranates.
3 His left arm is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.(B)
4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(C)
Friends
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness(D)
leaning on her beloved?
She
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived(E) you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love(F) is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a](G) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it[c] would be utterly scorned.(H)
Friends
8 We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build towers of silver on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
She
10 I am a wall,
and my breasts are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
like one bringing contentment.
11 Solomon had a vineyard(I) in Baal Hamon;
he let out his vineyard to tenants.
Each was to bring for its fruit
a thousand shekels[d](J) of silver.
12 But my own vineyard(K) is mine to give;
the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,
and two hundred[e] are for those who tend its fruit.
He
13 You who dwell in the gardens
with friends in attendance,
let me hear your voice!
She
