Song of Solomon 2
King James Version
2 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.
17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
Cantares 2
Reina-Valera 1960
2 Yo soy la rosa de Sarón,
Y el lirio de los valles.
2 Como el lirio entre los espinos,
Así es mi amiga entre las doncellas.
3 Como el manzano entre los árboles silvestres,
Así es mi amado entre los jóvenes;
Bajo la sombra del deseado me senté,
Y su fruto fue dulce a mi paladar.
4 Me llevó a la casa del banquete,
Y su bandera sobre mí fue amor.
5 Sustentadme con pasas, confortadme con manzanas;
Porque estoy enferma de amor.
6 Su izquierda esté debajo de mi cabeza,
Y su derecha me abrace.
7 Yo os conjuro, oh doncellas de Jerusalén,
Por los corzos y por las ciervas del campo,
Que no despertéis ni hagáis velar al amor,
Hasta que quiera.
8 ¡La voz de mi amado! He aquí él viene
Saltando sobre los montes,
Brincando sobre los collados.
9 Mi amado es semejante al corzo,
O al cervatillo.
Helo aquí, está tras nuestra pared,
Mirando por las ventanas,
Atisbando por las celosías.
10 Mi amado habló, y me dijo:
Levántate, oh amiga mía, hermosa mía, y ven.
11 Porque he aquí ha pasado el invierno,
Se ha mudado, la lluvia se fue;
12 Se han mostrado las flores en la tierra,
El tiempo de la canción ha venido,
Y en nuestro país se ha oído la voz de la tórtola.
13 La higuera ha echado sus higos,
Y las vides en cierne dieron olor;
Levántate, oh amiga mía, hermosa mía, y ven.
14 Paloma mía, que estás en los agujeros de la peña, en lo escondido de escarpados parajes,
Muéstrame tu rostro, hazme oír tu voz;
Porque dulce es la voz tuya, y hermoso tu aspecto.
15 Cazadnos las zorras, las zorras pequeñas, que echan a perder las viñas;
Porque nuestras viñas están en cierne.
16 Mi amado es mío, y yo suya;
Él apacienta entre lirios.
17 Hasta que apunte el día, y huyan las sombras,
Vuélvete, amado mío; sé semejante al corzo, o como el cervatillo
Sobre los montes de Beter.
Song of Solomon 2
New King James Version
A Country Girl in a Palace
2 I am the rose of Sharon,
And the lily of the valleys.
The Beloved
2 Like a lily among thorns,
So is my love among the daughters.
The Shulamite
3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods,
So is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down in his shade with great delight,
And (A)his fruit was sweet to my taste.
The Shulamite to the Daughters of Jerusalem
4 He brought me to the [a]banqueting house,
And his banner over me was love.
5 Sustain me with cakes of raisins,
Refresh me with apples,
For I am lovesick.
6 (B)His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.
7 (C)I [b]charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
The Beloved’s Request
The Shulamite
8 The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes
Leaping upon the mountains,
Skipping upon the hills.
9 (D)My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Behold, he stands behind our wall;
He is looking through the windows,
Gazing through the lattice.
10 My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
11 For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!
14 “O my (E)dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret places of the cliff,
Let me see your [c]face,
(F)Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is lovely.”
Her Brothers
15 Catch us (G)the foxes,
The little foxes that spoil the vines,
For our vines have tender grapes.
The Shulamite
16 (H)My beloved is mine, and I am his.
He feeds his flock among the lilies.
(To Her Beloved)
17 (I)Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved,
And be (J)like a gazelle
Or a young stag
Upon the mountains of [d]Bether.

Song of Solomon 2
English Standard Version
He
2 As a lily among brambles,
so is (B)my love among the young women.
She
3 As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
so is my (C)beloved among the young men.
With great delight I sat (D)in his shadow,
and his (E)fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He (F)brought me to the banqueting house,[b]
and his (G)banner over me was love.
5 Sustain me with (H)raisins;
refresh me with apples,
(I)for I am sick with love.
6 His (J)left hand is under my head,
and his right hand (K)embraces me!
7 I (L)adjure you,[c] O (M)daughters of Jerusalem,
by (N)the gazelles or the does of the field,
that you not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.
The Bride Adores Her Beloved
8 The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes,
leaping (O)over the mountains,
bounding over the hills.
9 My beloved is like (P)a gazelle
or a young stag.
Behold, there he stands
behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
looking through the lattice.
10 My beloved speaks and says to me:
(Q)“Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away,
11 for behold, the winter is past;
(R)the rain is over and gone.
12 (S)The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing[d] has come,
and the voice of (T)the turtledove
is heard in our land.
13 (U)The fig tree ripens its figs,
and (V)the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
(W)Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away.
14 O my (X)dove, in the (Y)clefts of the rock,
in the crannies of the cliff,
let me see your face,
let me (Z)hear your voice,
for your voice is sweet,
and your face is (AA)lovely.
15 Catch (AB)the foxes[e] for us,
the little foxes
that spoil the vineyards,
(AC)for our vineyards are in blossom.”
16 (AD)My beloved is mine, and I am his;
he (AE)grazes[f] among the lilies.
17 Until (AF)the day breathes
and (AG)the shadows flee,
turn, my beloved, be like (AH)a gazelle
or a young stag on cleft mountains.[g]
