Cantares 5
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
EL ESPOSO:
5 «He entrado en mi huerto(A), hermana mía, esposa mía(B);
He recogido mi mirra(C) con mi bálsamo.
He comido mi panal y mi miel;
He bebido mi vino y mi leche(D).
Coman(E), amigos(F);
Beban y embriáguense, oh amados».
El tormento de la separación
LA ESPOSA:
2 ¶«Yo dormía, pero mi corazón velaba,
¡Una voz! ¡Mi amado toca a la puerta!
“Ábreme, hermana mía(G), amada mía,
Paloma mía, perfecta mía(H),
Pues mi cabeza está empapada de rocío,
Mis cabellos(I) empapados de la humedad de la noche”.
3 -»Me he quitado la ropa,
¿Cómo he de vestirme de nuevo(J)?
Me he lavado los pies(K),
¿Cómo he de ensuciarlos de nuevo?
4 -»Mi amado metió su mano por la abertura de la puerta,
Y se estremecieron por él mis entrañas(L).
5 -»Yo me levanté para abrir a mi amado;
Y mis manos destilaron mirra(M),
Y mis dedos mirra líquida,
Sobre las manecillas de la cerradura.
6 -»Abrí yo a mi amado,
Pero mi amado se había retirado, se había ido(N).
Tras su hablar salió mi alma(O).
Lo busqué, y no lo hallé(P);
Lo llamé, y no me respondió(Q).
7 -»Me hallaron los guardas que rondan la ciudad(R),
Me golpearon y me hirieron;
Me quitaron de encima mi chal los guardas de las murallas.
8 -»Yo les ruego, oh hijas de Jerusalén(S),
Si encuentran a mi amado,
¿Qué le han de decir?:
Que estoy enferma de amor(T)».
EL CORO:
9 ¶«¿Qué clase de amado es tu amado,
Oh la más hermosa de las mujeres(U)?
¿Qué clase de amado es tu amado,
Que así nos ruegas?».
LA ESPOSA:
10 ¶«Mi amado es apuesto y sonrosado(V),
Distinguido(W) entre diez mil.
11 -»Su cabeza es como oro, oro puro,
Sus cabellos(X), como racimos de dátiles,
Negros como el cuervo.
12 -»Sus ojos son como palomas(Y)
Junto a corrientes de agua,
Bañados en leche,
Colocados en su engaste(Z).
13 -»Sus mejillas, como eras de bálsamo,
Como riberas de hierbas(AA) aromáticas;
Sus labios son lirios(AB)
Que destilan mirra líquida(AC).
14 -»Sus manos son barras de oro
Engastadas de berilo(AD);
Su vientre es marfil tallado
Recubierto de zafiros(AE).
15 -»Sus piernas son columnas de alabastro
Asentadas sobre basas de oro puro;
Su aspecto es como el Líbano(AF),
Gallardo como los cedros(AG).
16 -»Su paladar(AH) es dulcísimo,
Y todo él, deseable(AI).
Este es mi amado y este es mi amigo,
Hijas de Jerusalén».

The Lover
5 I’ve come into my garden, my sister, my[a] bride;
I’ve gathered my myrrh with my spices.
I’ve eaten my honeycomb with my honey.
I’ve drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, friends!
Drink and become drunk with love.
The Loved One
2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake.
There’s a sound! My beloved is knocking.
The Lover
“Open up for me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my perfect one.
For my head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
The Loved One
3 “I’ve taken off my clothes[b]—
am I supposed to put them on again?[c]
I’ve washed my feet—
am I supposed to[d] get them dirty again?”
4 My beloved reached out his hand for the latch.[e]
My feelings for him were aroused.
5 I got up to open the door,[f]
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh,
on the handle of the lock.
6 I opened the door[g] for my beloved,
but my beloved had turned away; he was gone!
My very life went out when he departed.[h]
I searched for him,
but couldn’t find him.
I called out to him,
but he didn’t answer.
7 The watchmen making their[i] rounds
through the city found me.
They beat me, they bruised me.
Those guarding the walls took my cloak[j] from me.
8 I charge you, young women of Jerusalem,
“If you find my beloved, what are you to tell him?
Tell him[k] that I’m weak with love.”
The Young Women
9 What is so special about your beloved,[l]
most beautiful of women?
What is so special about your beloved,
that you charge us like this?
The Loved One
10 My beloved is dazzling,
with a dark and healthy complexion,
outstanding among ten thousand.
11 His head is pure gold,
his hair is wavy, black like a raven.
12 His eyes are like doves
by streams of water,
bathed in milk,
mounted like jewels.
13 His cheeks are like beds of spices,
like towers of perfume.
His lips are lilies,
dripping with liquid myrrh.
14 His hands are rods of gold,
set with beryl.
His stomach is carved ivory,
inlaid with sapphires.[m]
15 His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,
choice like its cedars.
16 His mouth[n] is sweetness,
and all of him is desirable.
This is my beloved, this is my friend,
young women of Jerusalem!

The Beloved
5 I (A)have come to my garden, my (B)sister, my spouse;
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
(C)I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
(To His Friends)
Eat, O (D)friends!

O beloved ones!
The Shulamite’s Troubled Evening
The Shulamite
2 I sleep, but my heart is awake;
It is the voice of my beloved!
(E)He knocks, saying,
“Open for me, my sister, [a]my love,
My dove, my perfect one;
For my head is covered with dew,
My [b]locks with the drops of the night.”
3 I have taken off my robe;
How can I put it on again?
I have washed my feet;
How can I [c]defile them?
4 My beloved put his hand
By the [d]latch of the door,
And my heart yearned for him.
5 I arose to open for my beloved,
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
My fingers with liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the lock.
6 I opened for my beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My [e]heart leaped up when he spoke.
(F)I sought him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 (G)The watchmen who went about the city found me.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The keepers of the walls
Took my veil away from me.
8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
That you tell him I am lovesick!
The Daughters of Jerusalem
9 What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
(H)O fairest among women?
What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
That you so [f]charge us?
The Shulamite
10 My beloved is white and ruddy,
[g]Chief among ten thousand.
11 His head is like the finest gold;
His locks are wavy,
And black as a raven.
12 (I)His eyes are like doves
By the rivers of waters,
Washed with milk,
And [h]fitly set.
13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices,
Banks of scented herbs.
His lips are lilies,
Dripping liquid myrrh.
14 His hands are rods of gold
Set with beryl.
His body is carved ivory
Inlaid with sapphires.
15 His legs are pillars of marble
Set on bases of fine gold.
His countenance is like Lebanon,
Excellent as the cedars.
16 His mouth is most sweet,
Yes, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved,
And this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem!
