Awit ng mga Awit 8
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
8 Kung naging kapatid lamang sana kita, na pinasuso ng aking ina, hahalikan kita saanman tayo magkita, at hindi nila ako pag-iisipan ng masama. 2 Dadalhin kita sa bahay ng aking ina, at doon ay tuturuan mo ako ng tungkol sa pag-ibig. Paiinumin kita ng mabangong alak na mula sa katas ng aking mga pomegranata. 3 Ulo koʼy nakaunan sa kaliwa mong bisig at ang kanang kamay mo naman ay nakayakap sa akin.
4 Kayong mga babae ng Jerusalem, mangako kayo na hindi ninyo hahayaan na ang pag-ibig ay umusbong hanggaʼt hindi pa dumarating ang tamang panahon.
Mga Babae ng Jerusalem
5 Sino kaya itong dumarating mula sa ilang na nakahilig sa kanyang minamahal?
Babae
Ginising ko ang iyong damdamin, doon sa ilalim ng puno ng mansanas, kung saan ka isinilang. 6 Iukit mo ang pangalan ko sa puso mo para patunayan na ako lamang ang mahal mo. At ako lamang ang yayakapin ng mga bisig mo. Makapangyarihan ang pag-ibig gaya ng kamatayan; maging ang pagnanasa ay hindi mapipigilan. Ang pag-ibig ay parang lumiliyab at lumalagablab na apoy. 7 Kahit laksa-laksang tubig, hindi ito mapipigilan. Sinumang magtangkang bilhin ito kahit ng lahat niyang yaman ay baka malagay lamang sa kahihiyan.
Ang mga Kapatid na Lalaki ng Babae
8 May kapatid kaming dalagita, at ang kanyang dibdib ay hindi pa nababakas. Anong gagawin namin sa araw na may manligaw na sa kanya? 9 Birhen man siya o hindi, iingatan namin siya.[a]
Babae
10 Akoʼy birhen nga, at ang dibdib koʼy parang mga tore. Kaya nga ang aking mahal ay lubos na nasisiyahan sa akin.
11 May ubasan si Solomon sa Baal Hamon na kanyang pinauupahan sa mga magsasaka roon. Bawat isa sa kanilaʼy nagbibigay sa kanya ng 1,000 piraso ng pilak bilang parte niya sa ubasan. 12 Ikaw ang bahala Solomon, kung ang parte mo ay 1,000 piraso ng pilak at ang parte ng mga magsasaka ay 200 piraso ng pilak. Pero ako na ang bahala sa sarili kong ubasan.
Lalaki
13 O irog kong namamasyal sa hardin, mabuti pa ang mga kaibigan mo, naririnig nila ang iyong tinig. Iparinig mo rin ito sa akin.
Babae
14 Halika, aking mahal. Tumakbo ka nang mabilis gaya ng usa sa kabundukan na punong-puno ng mga halamang ginagawang pabango.
Footnotes
- 8:9 sa literal, Kung pader man siya, patatayuan namin ito ng mga toreng pilak. Kung siya namaʼy pintuan, igagawa namin siya ng trangka na yari sa kahoy na sedro.

Lovers Reunited at Their Country Home
8 Oh, that you were like my brother,
Who nursed at my mother’s breasts!
If I should find you outside,
I would kiss you;
I would not be despised.
2 I would lead you and bring you
Into the (A)house of my mother,
She who used to instruct me.
I would cause you to drink of (B)spiced wine,
Of the juice of my pomegranate.
(To the Daughters of Jerusalem)
3 (C)His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.
4 (D)I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
Love Renewed in Lebanon
A Relative
5 (E)Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved?
I awakened you under the apple tree.
There your mother brought you forth;
There she who bore you brought you forth.
The Shulamite to Her Beloved
6 (F)Set me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
(G)Jealousy as [a]cruel as [b]the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
[c]A most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
(H)If a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.
The Shulamite’s Brothers
8 (I)We have a little sister,
And she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
We will build upon her
A battlement of silver;
And if she is a door,
We will enclose her
With boards of cedar.
The Shulamite
10 I am a wall,
And my breasts like towers;
Then I became in his eyes
As one who found peace.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;
(J)He leased the vineyard to keepers;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit
A thousand silver coins.
(To Solomon)
12 My own vineyard is before me.
You, O Solomon, may have a thousand,
And those who tend its fruit two hundred.
The Beloved
13 You who dwell in the gardens,
The companions listen for your voice—
(K)Let me hear it!
The Shulamite

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!

Longing for Her Beloved
8 Oh that you were like a brother to me
who nursed at my mother's breasts!
If I found you outside, I would kiss you,
and none would despise me.
2 I would lead you and (A)bring you
into the house of my mother—
she who used to teach me.
I would give you (B)spiced wine to drink,
the juice of my pomegranate.
3 (C)His left hand is under my head,
and his right hand embraces me!
4 I (D)adjure you, O (E)daughters of Jerusalem,
(F)that you not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.
5 (G)Who is that coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on her beloved?
Under the apple tree I awakened you.
There your mother was in labor with you;
there she who bore you was in labor.
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as (H)a seal upon your arm,
for (I)love is strong as death,
(J)jealousy[a] is fierce as the grave.[b]
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very (K)flame of the Lord.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
all the wealth of his (L)house,
he[c] would be utterly despised.
