Cantares 4
La Biblia de las Américas
Alabanzas del esposo
EL ESPOSO:
4 Cuán [a] hermosa eres, amada[b] mía.
Cuán[c] hermosa eres.
Tus ojos son como palomas(A) detrás de tu velo(B);
tu cabellera, como rebaño de cabras
que descienden del monte Galaad(C).
2 Tus dientes son como rebaño de ovejas trasquiladas
que suben del lavadero,
todas tienen mellizas,
y ninguna de ellas ha perdido su cría[d](D).
3 Tus labios son como hilo de escarlata(E),
y tu boca, encantadora.
Tus mejillas[e], como mitades de granada
detrás de tu velo(F).
4 Tu cuello, como la torre(G) de David
edificada con hileras de piedras[f](H);
miles de escudos cuelgan de ella,
todos escudos de los valientes(I).
5 Tus dos pechos, como dos crías
mellizas de gacela(J),
que pacen entre lirios(K).
6 Hasta que sople la brisa del día
y huyan las sombras(L),
me iré al monte de la mirra
y al collado del incienso(M).
7 Toda tú eres hermosa, amada mía,
y no hay defecto en ti(N).
8 Ven conmigo desde el Líbano, esposa mía(O),
ven conmigo desde el Líbano(P).
Baja[g] desde la cumbre del Amaná(Q),
desde la cumbre del Senir y del Hermón(R),
desde las guaridas de leones,
desde los montes de leopardos.
9 Has cautivado mi corazón, hermana mía, esposa mía(S);
has cautivado mi corazón con una sola mirada de tus ojos,
con una sola hebra de tu collar(T).
10 ¡Cuán hermosos(U) son tus amores, hermana mía, esposa mía!
¡Cuánto mejores tus amores que el vino(V),
y la fragancia de tus ungüentos(W)
que todos los bálsamos!
11 Miel virgen(X) destilan tus labios, esposa mía,
miel(Y) y leche hay debajo de tu lengua,
y la fragancia de tus vestidos es como la fragancia del Líbano(Z).
12 Huerto cerrado eres, hermana mía, esposa mía,
huerto[h] cerrado, fuente(AA) sellada(AB).
13 Tus renuevos son paraíso[i](AC) de granados(AD),
con frutas escogidas(AE), alheña(AF) y[j] nardos,
14 nardo(AG) y azafrán, cálamo aromático y canela(AH),
con todos los árboles de incienso,
mirra(AI) y áloes(AJ), con todos los mejores bálsamos.
15 Tú eres fuente de huertos,
pozo de aguas vivas(AK),
y corrientes que fluyen del Líbano.
LA ESPOSA:
16 Despierta, viento del norte[k],
y ven, viento del sur[l];
haced que mi huerto exhale fragancia(AL),
que se esparzan[m] sus aromas[n].
Entre mi amado en su huerto(AM)
y coma sus mejores frutas(AN).

Solomon Admires His Bride's Beauty
He
4 Behold, (A)you are beautiful, my love,
behold, you are beautiful!
(B)Your eyes are doves
(C)behind your veil.
(D)Your hair is like a flock of goats
leaping down (E)the slopes of Gilead.
2 Your (F)teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes
that have come up from the washing,
all of which bear twins,
and not one among them has lost its young.
3 Your lips are like (G)a scarlet thread,
and your mouth is (H)lovely.
Your (I)cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
(J)behind your veil.
4 Your (K)neck is like the tower of David,
built in (L)rows of stone;[a]
on it (M)hang a thousand shields,
all of (N)them shields of warriors.
5 Your (O)two breasts are like two (P)fawns,
twins of a gazelle,
that (Q)graze among the lilies.
6 (R)Until the day breathes
and the shadows flee,
I will go away to the mountain of (S)myrrh
and the hill of (T)frankincense.
7 (U)You are altogether beautiful, my love;
there is no (V)flaw in you.
8 (W)Come with me from (X)Lebanon, my (Y)bride;
come with me from (Z)Lebanon.
Depart[b] from the peak of Amana,
from the peak of (AA)Senir and (AB)Hermon,
from the dens of lions,
from the mountains of leopards.
9 You have captivated my heart, my (AC)sister, my bride;
you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one (AD)jewel of your necklace.
10 How beautiful is your love, my (AE)sister, my bride!
How much (AF)better is your love than wine,
and (AG)the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
11 Your (AH)lips drip nectar, my bride;
(AI)honey and milk are under your tongue;
the fragrance of your garments is (AJ)like the fragrance of (AK)Lebanon.
12 A garden locked is my (AL)sister, my bride,
a spring locked, (AM)a fountain (AN)sealed.
13 Your shoots are (AO)an orchard of pomegranates
with all (AP)choicest fruits,
(AQ)henna with (AR)nard,
14 nard and saffron, (AS)calamus and (AT)cinnamon,
with all trees of (AU)frankincense,
(AV)myrrh and (AW)aloes,
with all (AX)choice spices—
15 a garden fountain, a well of (AY)living water,
and flowing streams from (AZ)Lebanon.
16 Awake, O north wind,
and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my (BA)garden,
let its spices flow.
Together in the Garden of Love

4 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil(A) are doves.(B)
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from the hills of Gilead.(C)
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.(D)
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth(E) is lovely.(F)
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.(G)
4 Your neck is like the tower(H) of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(I)
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts(J) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle(K)
that browse among the lilies.(L)
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,(M)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh(N)
and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful,(O) my darling;
there is no flaw(P) in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,(Q)
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir,(R) the summit of Hermon,(S)
from the lions’ dens
and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;(T)
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.(U)
10 How delightful(V) is your love(W), my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,(X)
and the fragrance of your perfume(Y)
more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.(Z)
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.(AA)
12 You are a garden(AB) locked up, my sister, my bride;(AC)
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.(AD)
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates(AE)
with choice fruits,
with henna(AF) and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,(AG)
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh(AH) and aloes(AI)
and all the finest spices.(AJ)
15 You are[b] a garden(AK) fountain,(AL)
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.
