Awit ng mga Awit 7
Ang Biblia, 2001
Mangingibig
7 Napakaganda ng iyong mga paa sa mga sandalyas
O mala-reynang babae!
Ang mga bilugan mong hita ay gaya ng mga hiyas,
na gawa ng bihasang kamay.
2 Ang iyong pusod ay gaya ng bilog na mangkok,
na hindi nawawalan ng alak na may halo.
Ang iyong tiyan ay bunton ng trigo,
na napapaligiran ng mga liryo.
3 Ang iyong dalawang suso ay gaya ng dalawang batang usa,
na mga kambal ng inahing usa.
4 Ang iyong leeg ay gaya ng toreng garing.
Ang iyong mga mata ay gaya ng mga tipunan ng tubig sa Hesbon,
sa tabi ng pintuang-bayan ng Batrabbim.
Ang iyong ilong ay gaya ng tore ng Lebanon
na nakatanaw sa Damasco.
5 Pinuputungan ka ng iyong ulo gaya ng Carmel,
at ang umaalon mong buhok ay gaya ng kulay ube;
ang hari ay nabibihag sa mga tirintas niyon.
6 Napakaganda at kaaya-aya ka!
O minamahal, kaakit-akit na dalaga!
7 Ikaw ay magilas na parang puno ng palma,
at ang iyong mga suso ay tulad ng mga kumpol nito.
8 Sinasabi kong ako'y aakyat sa puno ng palma,
at hahawak sa mga sanga niyon.
Ang iyong mga suso sana ay maging gaya ng mga buwig ng puno ng ubas,
at ang bango ng iyong hininga ay gaya ng mga mansanas,
9 at ang iyong mga halik ay gaya ng pinakamainam na alak,
na tumutulo nang marahan,
na dumudulas sa mga labi at ngipin.
Babae
10 Ako'y sa aking minamahal,
at ang kanyang pagnanasa ay para sa akin.
11 Halika, sinta ko,
pumunta tayo sa mga bukid,
manirahan tayo sa mga nayon;
12 magtungo tayo nang maaga sa mga ubasan,
at tingnan natin kung may buko na ang puno ng ubas,
kung ang kanyang mga bulaklak ay bumuka na,
at kung ang mga granada ay namumulaklak.
Doo'y ibibigay ko sa iyo ang aking pag-ibig.
13 Ang mga mandragora ay nagsasabog ng bango,
at nasa ating mga pintuan ang lahat ng piling bunga,
mga luma at bago,
na aking inilaan para sa iyo, O sinta ko.
Song of Songs 7
EasyEnglish Bible
A beautiful woman
The young man:
7 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
my princess![a]
Your round hips are as beautiful as jewels
that a clever worker has made.[b]
2 Your navel is like a round bowl
that is always full of good wine.[c]
Your stomach is like a round heap of wheat
with lilies around the edge.
3 Your breasts are like two young gazelles
that are twins.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes shine like the pools in Heshbon
that are near the Bath Rabbim gate.[d]
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
that looks towards Damascus.[e]
5 Your head stands tall on you, like Mount Carmel.[f]
Your long hair hangs down like a royal cloth.
It is so beautiful that it can make the king its prisoner!
6 You are very beautiful, my dear friend,
and I love you.
You give a lot of pleasure to me.
7 You stand like a tall palm tree.
Your breasts are like bunches of fruit that hang from the tree.[g]
8 I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree.
I will take hold of its fruit.’
For me, your breasts are like bunches of grapes.
Your breath is like the sweet smell of apples.
9 For me, your mouth has the taste of the best wine.
The young woman:
May the wine pour out for my lover.
May it pour over his lips and his teeth.
10 I belong to my lover,
and he wants to be with me!
11 Come with me now, my lover!
Let us go and walk through the fields.
We can stay in the villages for the night.
12 We can get up early in the morning
and go to the vineyards.
We can see if the vines have started to make new leaves.
We can see if their flowers have opened.
We can see if the pomegranate trees have flowers.
When we are there
I will give my love to you.
13 The mandrake plants send out their sweet smell.
At our door, there are many good things to eat.[h]
I have stored many good things that are both old and new.
I have kept them all for you, my lover.
