Song of Solomon 1
GOD’S WORD Translation
1 The most beautiful song of Solomon.
The Young Woman Arrives in Solomon’s Palace
[ BRIDE ]
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth.
Your expressions of love are better than wine,
3 better than the fragrance of cologne.
(Cologne should be named after you.)
No wonder the young women love you!
4 Take me with you. Let’s run away.
The king has brought me into his private rooms.
[ THE CHORUS OF YOUNG WOMEN ]
We will celebrate and rejoice with you.
We will praise your expressions of love more than wine.
How right it is that the young women love you!
[ BRIDE ]
5 Young women of Jerusalem, I am dark and lovely
like Kedar’s tents,
like Solomon’s curtains.
6 Stop staring at me because I am so dark.
The sun has tanned me.
My brothers were angry with me.
They made me the caretaker of the vineyards.
I have not even taken care of my own vineyard.
7 Please tell me, you whom I love, where do you graze your flock?
Where does your flock lie down at noon?
⌞Tell me,⌟ or I will be considered a prostitute
⌞wandering⌟ among the flocks of your companions.
[ THE CHORUS OF YOUNG WOMEN ]
8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women,
follow the tracks of the flocks,
and graze your young goats near the shepherds’ tents.
Solomon Searches for the Young Woman’s Love
[ GROOM ]
9 My true love, I compare you to a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.
10 Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
your neck with strings of pearls.
[ THE CHORUS OF YOUNG WOMEN ]
11 We will make gold ornaments with silver beads for you.
[ BRIDE ]
12 While the king is at his table,
my perfume fills the air with its fragrance.
13 My beloved is a pouch of myrrh [a]
that lies at night between my breasts.
14 My beloved is a bouquet of henna flowers
in the vineyards of En Gedi.
[ GROOM ]
15 Look at you! You are beautiful, my true love!
Look at you! You are so beautiful!
Your eyes are like doves!
[ BRIDE ]
16 Look at you! You are handsome, my beloved, so pleasing to me!
The leaf-scattered ground will be our couch.
17 The cedars will be the walls of our house.
The cypress trees will be our rafters.

1 The Song of (A)Songs, which is Solomon's.
The Bride Confesses Her Love
She[a]
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your (B)love is better than wine;
3 your (C)anointing oils are fragrant;
your (D)name is oil poured out;
therefore virgins love you.
4 (E)Draw me after you; (F)let us run.
(G)The king has brought me into his chambers.
Others
We will (H)exult and rejoice in you;
we will extol (I)your love more than wine;

She
5 I am very dark, but (J)lovely,
O (K)daughters of Jerusalem,
like (L)the tents of (M)Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My (N)mother's sons were angry with me;
they made me (O)keeper of (P)the vineyards,
but (Q)my own vineyard I have not kept!
7 Tell me, you (R)whom my soul loves,
where you (S)pasture your flock,
where you make it (T)lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
beside the flocks of your (U)companions?
Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each Other
He
8 If you do not know,
O (V)most beautiful among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
beside the shepherds' tents.
9 I compare you, (W)my love,
to (X)a mare among Pharaoh's chariots.
10 (Y)Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
your neck with strings of jewels.
Others
11 We will make for you[b] ornaments of gold,
studded with silver.
She
12 While (Z)the king was on his couch,
my (AA)nard gave forth its fragrance.
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of (AB)myrrh
that lies between my breasts.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of (AC)henna blossoms
in the vineyards of (AD)Engedi.
He
15 (AE)Behold, (AF)you are beautiful, (AG)my love;
behold, you are beautiful;
your (AH)eyes are doves.

Cantares 1
Reina-Valera 1960
La esposa y las hijas de Jerusalén
1 Cantar de los cantares, el cual es de Salomón.(A)
2 ¡Oh, si él me besara con besos de su boca!
Porque mejores son tus amores que el vino.
3 A más del olor de tus suaves ungüentos,
Tu nombre es como ungüento derramado;
Por eso las doncellas te aman.
4 Atráeme; en pos de ti correremos.
El rey me ha metido en sus cámaras;
Nos gozaremos y alegraremos en ti;
Nos acordaremos de tus amores más que del vino;
Con razón te aman.
5 Morena soy, oh hijas de Jerusalén, pero codiciable
Como las tiendas de Cedar,
Como las cortinas de Salomón.
6 No reparéis en que soy morena,
Porque el sol me miró.
Los hijos de mi madre se airaron contra mí;
Me pusieron a guardar las viñas;
Y mi viña, que era mía, no guardé.
7 Hazme saber, oh tú a quien ama mi alma,
Dónde apacientas, dónde sesteas al mediodía;
Pues ¿por qué había de estar yo como errante
Junto a los rebaños de tus compañeros?
8 Si tú no lo sabes, oh hermosa entre las mujeres,
Ve, sigue las huellas del rebaño,
Y apacienta tus cabritas junto a las cabañas de los pastores.
La esposa y el esposo
9 A yegua de los carros de Faraón
Te he comparado, amiga mía.
10 Hermosas son tus mejillas entre los pendientes,
Tu cuello entre los collares.
11 Zarcillos de oro te haremos,
Tachonados de plata.
12 Mientras el rey estaba en su reclinatorio,
Mi nardo dio su olor.
13 Mi amado es para mí un manojito de mirra,
Que reposa entre mis pechos.
14 Racimo de flores de alheña en las viñas de En-gadi
Es para mí mi amado.
15 He aquí que tú eres hermosa, amiga mía;
He aquí eres bella; tus ojos son como palomas.
16 He aquí que tú eres hermoso, amado mío, y dulce;
Nuestro lecho es de flores.
17 Las vigas de nuestra casa son de cedro,
Y de ciprés los artesonados.

Russian Synodal Version
1 Да лобзает он меня лобзанием уст своих! Ибо ласки твои лучше вина.
2 От благовония мастей твоих имя твое--как разлитое миро; поэтому девицы любят тебя.
3 Влеки меня, мы побежим за тобою; --царь ввел меня в чертоги свои, --будем восхищаться и радоваться тобою, превозносить ласки твои больше, нежели вино; достойно любят тебя!
4 Дщери Иерусалимские! черна я, но красива, как шатры Кидарские, как завесы Соломоновы.
5 Не смотрите на меня, что я смугла, ибо солнце опалило меня: сыновья матери моей разгневались на меня, поставили меня стеречь виноградники, --моего собственного виноградника я не стерегла.
6 Скажи мне, ты, которого любит душа моя: где пасешь ты? где отдыхаешь в полдень? к чему мне быть скиталицею возле стад товарищей твоих?
7 Если ты не знаешь этого, прекраснейшая из женщин, то иди себе по следам овец и паси козлят твоих подле шатров пастушеских.
8 Кобылице моей в колеснице фараоновой я уподобил тебя, возлюбленная моя.
9 Прекрасны ланиты твои под подвесками, шея твоя в ожерельях;
10 золотые подвески мы сделаем тебе с серебряными блестками.
11 Доколе царь был за столом своим, нард мой издавал благовоние свое.
12 Мирровый пучок--возлюбленный мой у меня, у грудей моих пребывает.
13 Как кисть кипера, возлюбленный мой у меня в виноградниках Енгедских.
14 О, ты прекрасна, возлюбленная моя, ты прекрасна! глаза твои голубиные.
15 О, ты прекрасен, возлюбленный мой, и любезен! и ложе у нас--зелень;
16 кровли домов наших--кедры,
17 потолки наши--кипарисы.
Song of Solomon 1
King James Version
Song of Solomon 1
King James Version
1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
17 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
