Song of Songs 2:2-16
2“1Like a lilyH7799 amongH996 the thornsH2336, SoH3651 is 2my darlingH7474 amongH996 the 3maidensH1323.”
3“4Like an 56appleH8598 treeH8598 among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293, SoH3651 is my belovedH1730 amongH996 the 7youngH1121 menH1121. In his shadeH6738 I tookH2530 great delightH2530 and satH3427 downH3427, And his 8fruitH6529 was sweetH4966 to my 9tasteH2441.4He has 10broughtH935 me to his 11banquetH3196 hallH1004, And his 12bannerH1714 overH5921 me is loveH160.5SustainH5564 me with 13raisinH809 cakesH809, RefreshH7502 me with 1415applesH8598, BecauseH3588 16I am lovesickH2470H160.6Let 17his leftH8040 handH8040 be underH8478 my headH7218 And 18his rightH3225 handH3225 19embraceH2263 me.”
7“20I 21adjureH7650 you, O 22daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, By the 23gazellesH6643 orH176 by the 24hindsH355 of the fieldH7704, 25That you do not arouseH5782 or awakenH5782 my loveH160 UntilH5704 26she pleasesH2654.”
8“27ListenH6963! My belovedH1730! BeholdH2009, he is comingH935, ClimbingH1801 28on the mountainsH2022, LeapingH7092 on the hillsH1389!9My belovedH1730 is likeH1819 a 29gazelleH6643 orH176 a 30youngH6082 31stagH354. BeholdH2009, he is standingH5975 behindH310 our wallH3796, He is lookingH7688 throughH4480 the windowsH2474, He is peeringH6692 32throughH4480 the latticeH2762.
10“My belovedH1730 respondedH6030 and saidH559 to me, ‘33AriseH6965, my darlingH7474, my beautifulH3303 oneH3303, And comeH1980 along.11For beholdH2009, the winterH5638 is pastH5674, The rainH1653 is overH2498 and goneH1980.12The flowersH5339 have already appearedH7200 in the landH776; The timeH6256 has arrivedH5060 for 34pruningH2159 the vines, And the voiceH6963 of the 35turtledoveH8449 has been heardH8085 in our landH776.13The 36figH8384 treeH8384 has ripenedH2590 its figsH6291, And the 37vinesH1612 in blossomH5563 have givenH5414 forth their fragranceH7381. AriseH6965, my darlingH7474, my beautifulH3303 oneH3303, And comeH1980 along!’”
14“38O 39my doveH3123, 40in the cleftsH2288 of the 41rockH5553, In the secretH5643 placeH5643 of the steepH4095 42pathwayH4095, Let me seeH7200 your 43formH4758, 44Let me hearH8085 your voiceH6963; For your voiceH6963 is sweetH6156, And your 45formH4758 is 46lovelyH5000.”
15“4748CatchH270 the foxesH7776 for us, The 49littleH6996 foxesH7776 that are ruiningH2254 the vineyardsH3754, While our 50vineyardsH3754 are in blossomH5563.”
16“5152My belovedH1730 is mine, and I am his; He 53pasturesH7462 his flock among the liliesH7799.
