Song of Solomon 2 (WEBP)

[1] I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
[2] As a 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, his fruit was sweet to my taste.
[4] He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner over me is love.
[5] Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love.
[6] His left hand is under my head. His right hand embraces me.
[7] I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
[8] The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
[9] My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.
[10] My beloved spoke, and said to me, “Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
[11] For behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone.
[12] The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
[13] The fig tree ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom. They give out their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.”
[14] My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountainside, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.
[15] Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that plunder the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.
[16] My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies.
[17] Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.

Young’s Literal Translation

Song of Solomon 2 (YLT)

[1] As a lily among the thorns,
[2] So is my friend among the daughters!
[3] As a citron among trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit is sweet to my palate.
[4] He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner over me is love,
[5] Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I am sick with love.
[6] His left hand is under my head, And his right doth embrace me.
[7] I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till she please!
[8] The voice of my beloved! lo, this-he is coming, Leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
[9] My beloved is like to a roe, Or to a young one of the harts. Lo, this-he is standing behind our wall, Looking from the windows, Blooming from the lattice.
[10] My beloved hath answered and said to me, ‘Rise up, my friend, my fair one, and come away,
[11] For lo, the winter hath passed by, The rain hath passed away-it hath gone.
[12] The flowers have appeared in the earth, The time of the singing hath come, And the voice of the turtle was heard in our land,
[13] The fig-tree hath ripened her green figs, And the sweet-smelling vines have given forth fragrance, Rise, come, my friend, my fair one, yea, come away.
[14] My dove, in clefts of the rock, In a secret place of the ascent, Cause me to see thine appearance, Cause me to hear thy voice, For thy voice is sweet, and thy appearance comely.
[15] Seize ye for us foxes, Little foxes-destroyers of vineyards, Even our sweet-smelling vineyards.
[16] My beloved is mine, and I am his, Who is delighting among the lilies,
[17] Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled away, Turn, be like, my beloved, To a roe, or to a young one of the harts, On the mountains of separation!
