Awit ng mga Awit 8
Ang Biblia (1978)
Pagsasama ng kasintahang lalake at babae sa walang hanggang pagibig.
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,
(A)Ng katas ng aking (B)granada.
3 Ang kaniyang kaliwang kamay ay (C)malalagay sa ilalim ng aking ulo,
At ang kaniyang kanang kamay ay yayakap sa akin.
4 Pinagbibilinan ko kayo, (D)Oh mga anak na babae ng Jerusalem,
Na huwag ninyong pukawin o gisingin man ang sinta ko,
Hanggang sa ibigin niya.
5 Sino itong (E)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 (F)pinakatatak sa iyong puso,
Pinakatatak sa iyong bisig:
Sapagka't ang pagsinta ay (G)malakas na parang kamatayan,
Panibugho ay (H)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, (I)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 (J)parang mga moog niyaon:
Ako nga'y naging sa harap ng kaniyang mga mata ay parang nakakasumpong ng kapayapaan.
11 Si Salomon ay (K)may ubasan sa Baal-hamon;
(L)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:
(M)Iparinig mo sa akin.
14 Ikaw ay magmadali, sinisinta ko,
At ikaw ay (N)maging parang usa o batang usa
Sa mga bundok ng mga especia.
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

King James Version
8 O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
2 I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.
6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
8 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9 If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.
14 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

English Standard Version
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.
