Awit ng mga Awit 5
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Lalaki
5 Nasa hardin ako ngayon, aking irog na magiging kabiyak ko. Nanguha ako ng mira at mga pabango. Kinain ko ang aking pulot at ininom ang aking alak at gatas.
Mga Babae ng Jerusalem
Kayong mga nagmamahalan, kumain kayo at uminom.
Babae
2 Habang akoʼy natutulog, nanaginip ako. Narinig kong kumakatok ang mahal ko. Ang sabi niya, “Papasukin mo ako, irog ko. Basang-basa na ng hamog ang ulo ko.” 3 Pero sinabi ko, “Hinubad ko na ang aking damit, isusuot ko pa ba itong muli? Hinugasan ko na ang aking mga paa, dudumihan ko pa ba itong muli?” 4 Nang hawakan ng aking mahal ang susian ng pinto, biglang tumibok ng mabilis ang aking puso. 5 Bumangon ako upang siyaʼy papasukin. At nang hawakan ko ang susian ng pinto tumulo ang mira sa kamay ko. 6 Binuksan ko ang pinto para sa aking mahal, pero wala na siya. Hinanap ko siya, pero hindi ko siya makita. Tinawag ko siya, pero walang sumagot. 7 Nakita ako ng mga guwardya na naglilibot sa lungsod. Pinalo nila ako, at akoʼy nasugatan. Kinuha[a] pa nila ang aking damit. 8 Kayong mga babae ng Jerusalem, mangako kayo sa akin! Kapag nakita ninyo ang aking mahal, sabihin ninyo sa kanyang nanghihina ako dahil sa pag-ibig.
Mga Babae ng Jerusalem
9 O babaeng pinakamaganda, ano bang mayroon sa iyong minamahal na wala sa iba, at kami ay iyong pinasusumpa pa? Siya baʼy talagang nakakahigit sa iba?
Babae
10 Ang aking mahal ay makisig at mamula-mula ang kutis. Nag-iisa lamang siya sa sampung libong lalaki. 11 Mas mahal pa sa ginto ang kanyang ulo. Buhok niyaʼy medyo kulot at kasing-itim ng uwak. 12 Mga mata niyaʼy napakagandang pagmasdan, tulad ng mamahaling hiyas at tulad ng mata ng mga kalapati, na kasingputi ng gatas, sa tabi ng batis. 13 Mga pisngi niyaʼy kasimbango ng harding puno ng halamang ginagawang pabango. At ang mga labi niyaʼy parang mga liryo na dinadaluyan ng mira. 14 Mga bisig niyaʼy tila mahahabang bareta ng ginto na napapalamutian ng mamahaling bato. Katawaʼy tila pangil ng elepante, makinang at napapalamutian ng mga batong safiro. 15 Mga paa niyaʼy tulad ng mga haliging marmol na nakatayo sa pundasyong ginto. Napakaganda niyang pagmasdan, tulad ng mga puno ng sedro sa Lebanon. 16 Kay tamis halikan ang kanyang bibig. Tunay ngang siyaʼy kaakit-akit. O mga babae ng Jerusalem, siya ang aking mahal, ang aking iniibig.

Song of Solomon 5
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 I have come into my garden, my sister, my [promised] bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my balsam and spice [from your sweet words I have gathered the richest perfumes and spices]. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends [feast on, O revelers of the palace; you can never make my lover disloyal to me]! Drink, yes, drink abundantly of love, O precious one [for now I know you are mine, irrevocably mine! With his confident words still thrilling her heart, through the lattice she saw her shepherd turn away and disappear into the night].(A)
2 I went to sleep, but my heart stayed awake. [I dreamed that I heard] the voice of my beloved as he knocked [at the door of my mother’s cottage]. Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my spotless one [he said], for I am wet with the [heavy] night dew; my hair is covered with it.(B)
3 [But weary from a day in the vineyards, I had already sought my rest] I had put off my garment—[a]how could I [again] put it on? I had washed my feet—how could I [again] soil them?(C)
4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my heart was moved for him.
5 I rose up to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, and my fingers with liquid [sweet-scented] myrrh, [which he had left] upon the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away and withdrawn himself, and was gone! My soul went forth [to him] when he spoke, but it failed me [and now he was gone]! I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 The watchmen who go about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took my veil and my mantle from me.
8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am sick from love [simply sick to be with him].(D)
9 What is your beloved more than another beloved, O you fairest among women [taunted the ladies]? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you should give us such a charge?(E)
10 [She said] My beloved is fair and ruddy, the chief among ten thousand!(F)
11 His head is [as precious as] the finest gold; his locks are curly and bushy and black as a raven.
12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, bathed in milk and fitly set.
13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices or balsam, like banks of sweet herbs yielding fragrance. His lips are like bloodred anemones or lilies distilling liquid [sweet-scented] myrrh.
14 His hands are like rods of gold set with [nails of] beryl or topaz. His body is a figure of bright ivory overlaid with [veins of] sapphires.
15 His legs are like strong and steady pillars of marble set upon bases of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent, stately, and majestic as the cedars.
16 His voice and speech are exceedingly sweet; yes, he is altogether lovely [the whole of him delights and is precious]. [b]This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!(G)
