Die Macht der Liebe Sulamit:
8 Ach, dass du mir wärst wie ein Bruder,
der die Brüste meiner Mutter sog!
Dann dürfte ich dich doch küssen,
wenn ich dich draußen träfe,
ohne dass man mich deshalb verachtete.
2 Ich wollte dich führen, dich bringen
ins Haus meiner Mutter;
du würdest mich lehren;
ich würde dich mit Würzwein tränken,
mit meinem Granatäpfelmost.
3 Seine Linke sei unter meinem Haupt,
und seine Rechte umfange mich!
4 Ich beschwöre euch, ihr Töchter Jerusalems:
Erregt und erweckt nicht die Liebe,
bis es ihr gefällt!
Die Töchter Jerusalems:
5 Wer ist sie, die da heraufkommt von der Wüste,
gestützt auf ihren Geliebten?
Salomo:
Unter dem Apfelbaum weckte ich dich auf;
dort litt deine Mutter Wehen für dich,
dort litt sie Wehen, die dich gebar.
6 Setze mich wie ein Siegel auf dein Herz,
wie ein Siegel an deinen Arm!
Denn die Liebe ist stark wie der Tod,
und ihr Eifer unbezwinglich[a] wie das Totenreich;
ihre Glut ist Feuerglut,
eine Flamme des Herrn.
7 Große Wasser können die Liebe nicht auslöschen,
und Ströme sie nicht ertränken.
Wenn einer allen Reichtum seines Hauses um die Liebe gäbe,
so würde man ihn nur verachten!
Die Töchter Jerusalems:
8 Wir haben eine kleine Schwester,
die noch keine Brüste hat.
Was tun wir nun mit unserer Schwester
an dem Tag, da man um sie wirbt?
9 Ist sie eine Mauer, so bauen wir
eine silberne Zinne darauf;
ist sie aber eine Tür,
so verschließen wir sie
mit einem Zedernbrett!
Sulamit:
10 Ich bin eine Mauer,
und meine Brüste sind wie Türme;
da wurde ich in seinen Augen
wie eine, die Frieden gefunden hat.
11 Salomo hatte einen Weinberg
bei Baal-Hamon;
er übergab den Weinberg den Hütern,
jeder sollte für seine Frucht tausend Silberlinge bringen.
12 Mein eigener Weinberg liegt vor mir;
die tausend gehören dir, o Salomo,
und zweihundert den Hütern seiner Frucht!
Salomo:
13 Die du in den Gärten wohnst,
die Gefährten lauschen deiner Stimme;
Lass mich sie hören!
Sulamit:
14 Eile dahin, mein Geliebter,
und sei der Gazelle gleich
oder dem jungen Hirsch
auf den Balsambergen!

Wishing
[Woman]
8 If only you were as my brother—
the one who nursed at my mother’s breast.
I would find you in the street and kiss you,
and no one would shame me for it.
2 I would lead you, I would bring you
to my mother’s house;
she would teach me what to do.[a]
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
some of my fresh pomegranate juice.
3 His left arm is beneath my head,
and his right embraces me!
4 Make a solemn pledge,
daughters of Jerusalem,
never to rouse, never to arouse love
until it desires.
Love, strong and invaluable
[Daughters of Jerusalem]
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness
leaning against her lover?
[Woman]
Under the apple tree I aroused you—
there, where your mother labored with you,
there where, laboring, she bore you.
6 Set me as a seal over your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is as strong as death,
passionate love unrelenting as the grave.[b]
Its darts are darts of fire—
divine flame!
7 Rushing waters can’t quench love;
rivers can’t wash it away.
If someone gave
all his estate in exchange for love,
he would be laughed to utter shame.
[The Woman’s Brothers]
8 Our sister is small;
she has no breasts.
What will we do for our sister
on the day that she is spoken for?
9 If she is a city wall,
then we will build a turret of silver on her.[c]
And if she is a door,
then we will barricade her[d] with a panel of cedar.
[Woman]
10 I’m a city wall,
and my breasts are the towers.
So now I’m in his eyes
as one who brings peace.
[Man]
11 Solomon had a vineyard
in Baal-hamon.
He gave charge of the vineyard to keepers;
one would bring in exchange for its fruit
a thousand pieces of silver.
12 My vineyard, my very own, is before me.
You can have the thousand, Solomon[e]—
with two hundred for those who tend the fruit!
13 You who sit in the gardens,
my companions are listening for your voice.
Let me hear it!
[Woman]
14 “Take flight, my love,
and be like a gazelle
or a young stag
on the mountains of spice!”

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
