10 My beloved speaks and says to me:
(A)“Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away,
11 for behold, the winter is past;
(B)the rain is over and gone.
12 (C)The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing[a] has come,
and the voice of (D)the turtledove
is heard in our land.
13 (E)The fig tree ripens its figs,
and (F)the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
(G)Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
and come away.

10 My lover spoke and said to me,
“Rise up, my dearest,
my fairest, and go.
11 Here, the winter is past;
the rains have come and gone.

and the grapevines in bloom are fragrant.
Rise up,[b] my dearest,
my fairest, and go.
