Cantares 5
Biblia del Jubileo
5 Yo vine a mi huerto, oh hermana, esposa mía; he cogido mi mirra y mis aromas; he comido mi panal y mi miel, mi vino y mi leche he bebido. Comed, amigos; bebed, amados, y embriagaos.
2 Yo duermo, pero mi corazón vela por la voz de mi amado que toca a la puerta: Abreme, hermana mía, compañera mía, paloma mía, perfecta mía; porque mi cabeza está llena de rocío, mis cabellos de las gotas de la noche.
3 Me he desnudado mi ropa; ¿cómo me lo vestiré de nuevo? He lavado mis pies; ¿cómo los ensuciaré otra vez?
4 Mi amado metió su mano por el agujero, y mis entrañas se conmovieron dentro de mí.
5 Yo me levanté para abrir a mi amado, y mis manos gotearon mirra, y mis dedos mirra que corría sobre las aldabas del candado.
6 Abrí yo a mi amado; mas mi amado se había ido, había ya pasado; y tras su hablar salió mi alma: lo busqué, y no lo hallé; lo llamé, y no me respondió.
7 Me hallaron los guardas que rondan la ciudad; me golpearon, me hirieron, me quitaron mi manto de encima los guardas de los muros.
8 Yo os conjuro, oh doncellas de Jerusalén, si hallareis a mi amado, que le hagáis saber cómo de amor estoy enferma.
9 ¿Qué es tu amado más que los otros amados, oh la más hermosa de todas las mujeres? ¿Qué es tu amado más que los otros amados, que así nos conjuras?
10 Mi amado es blanco y rubio, señalado entre los diez millares del ejército.
11 Su cabeza, es como oro finísimo; sus cabellos crespos, negros como el cuervo.
12 Sus ojos, son como palomas junto a los arroyos de las aguas, que se lavan con leche; como palomas que están junto a la abundancia.
13 Sus mejillas, son como una era de especias aromáticas, como fragantes flores; sus labios, son como lirios que destilan mirra que trasciende.
14 Sus manos, son como anillos de oro engastados de jacintos; su vientre, es como blanco marfil cubierto de zafiros.
15 Sus piernas, son como columnas de mármol fundadas sobre basas de fino oro; su vista es como el Líbano, escogido como los cedros.
16 Su paladar, dulcísimo: y todo él codiciable. Tal es mi amado, tal es mi compañero, oh doncellas de Jerusalén.
Song of Songs 5
New International Version
He
5 I have come into my garden,(A) my sister, my bride;(B)
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.(C)
Friends
Eat, friends, and drink;
drink your fill of love.
She
2 I slept but my heart was awake.
Listen! My beloved is knocking:
“Open to me, my sister, my darling,
my dove,(D) my flawless(E) one.(F)
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3 I have taken off my robe—
must I put it on again?
I have washed my feet—
must I soil them again?
4 My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening;
my heart began to pound for him.
5 I arose to open for my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,(G)
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened for my beloved,(H)
but my beloved had left; he was gone.(I)
My heart sank at his departure.[a]
I looked(J) for him but did not find him.
I called him but he did not answer.
7 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.(K)
They beat me, they bruised me;
they took away my cloak,
those watchmen of the walls!
8 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(L)—
if you find my beloved,(M)
what will you tell him?
Tell him I am faint with love.(N)
Friends
9 How is your beloved better than others,
most beautiful of women?(O)
How is your beloved better than others,
that you so charge us?
She
10 My beloved is radiant and ruddy,
outstanding among ten thousand.(P)
11 His head is purest gold;
his hair is wavy
and black as a raven.
12 His eyes are like doves(Q)
by the water streams,
washed in milk,(R)
mounted like jewels.
13 His cheeks(S) are like beds of spice(T)
yielding perfume.
His lips are like lilies(U)
dripping with myrrh.(V)
14 His arms are rods of gold
set with topaz.
His body is like polished ivory
decorated with lapis lazuli.(W)
15 His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,(X)
choice as its cedars.
16 His mouth(Y) is sweetness itself;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved,(Z) this is my friend,
daughters of Jerusalem.(AA)
