Cantares 5
Nueva Versión Internacional
El amado
5 He entrado ya en mi jardín,
hermana y novia mía,
y en él recojo mirra y bálsamo;
allí me sacio del panal y de su miel;
allí bebo mi vino y mi leche.
Los amigos
¡Coman y beban, amigos,
y embriáguense de amor!
Cuarto Canto
La amada
2 Yo dormía, pero mi corazón velaba.
¡Y oí una voz!
¡Mi amado estaba a la puerta!
«Hermana, amada mía;
preciosa paloma mía,
¡déjame entrar!
Mi cabeza está empapada de rocío;
la humedad de la noche corre por mi pelo».
3 Ya me he quitado la ropa;
¿cómo volver a vestirme?
Ya me he lavado los pies;
¿cómo ensuciarlos de nuevo?
4 Mi amado pasó la mano por la abertura del cerrojo;
¡se estremecieron mis entrañas al sentirlo!
5 Me levanté y le abrí a mi amado;
gotas de mirra corrían por mis manos.
Se deslizaban entre mis dedos
y caían sobre el cerrojo.
6 Le abrí a mi amado,
pero ya no estaba allí.
Se había marchado
y tras su voz se fue mi alma.
Lo busqué y no lo hallé.
Lo llamé y no me respondió.
7 Me encontraron los centinelas
mientras rondaban la ciudad;
los que vigilan las murallas
me hirieron, me golpearon;
¡me despojaron de mi manto!
8 Yo les ruego, doncellas de Jerusalén,
que si encuentran a mi amado,
¿qué le dirán?
¡Díganle que estoy enferma de amor!
El coro
9 Dinos, bella entre las bellas,
¿en qué aventaja tu amado a otros hombres?
¿En qué aventaja tu amado a otros hombres,
que nos haces tales ruegos?
La amada
10 Mi amado es apuesto y trigueño,
y entre diez mil hombres se le distingue.
11 Su cabeza es oro fino;
su cabellera es ondulada
y negra como un cuervo.
12 Sus ojos parecen palomas
posadas junto a los canales de agua,
bañadas en leche,
montadas como joyas.
13 Sus mejillas son como lechos de bálsamo,
como cultivos de hierbas aromáticas.
Sus labios son azucenas
por las que fluye mirra.
14 Sus brazos son barras de oro
montadas sobre topacios.
Su cuerpo es pulido marfil
incrustado de zafiros.
15 Sus piernas son pilares de mármol
que descansan sobre bases de oro puro.
Su porte es como el del Líbano,
esbelto como sus cedros.
16 Su paladar es la dulzura misma;
¡él es todo un encanto!
¡Tal es mi amado, tal es mi amigo,
doncellas de Jerusalén!

Lover
5 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride.
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Friends
Eat, friends!
Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
Beloved
2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake.
It is the voice of my beloved who knocks:
“Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled;
for my head is filled with dew,
and my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on?
I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
4 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening.
My heart pounded for him.
5 I rose up to open for my beloved.
My hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh,
on the handles of the lock.
6 I opened to my beloved;
but my beloved left, and had gone away.
My heart went out when he spoke.
I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.
I called him, but he didn’t answer.
7 The watchmen who go about the city found me.
They beat me.
They bruised me.
The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
8 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
that you tell him that I am faint with love.
Friends
9 How is your beloved better than another beloved,
you fairest among women?
How is your beloved better than another beloved,
that you do so adjure us?
Beloved
10 My beloved is white and ruddy.
The best among ten thousand.
11 His head is like the purest gold.
His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks,
washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes.
His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl.
His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 His mouth is sweetness;
yes, he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
daughters of Jerusalem.
Song of Solomon 5
King James Version
5 I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
9 What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
10 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
11 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
12 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14 His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
15 His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
