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.

Song of Solomon 2 (BYZ)

[1] εγω ανθος του πεδιου κρινον των κοιλαδων
[2] ως κρινον εν μεσω ακανθων ουτως η πλησιον μου ανα μεσον των θυγατερων
[3] ως μηλον εν τοις ξυλοις του δρυμου ουτως αδελφιδος μου ανα μεσον των υιων εν τη σκια αυτου επεθυμησα και εκαθισα και καρπος αυτου γλυκυς εν λαρυγγι μου
[4] εισαγαγετε με εις οικον του οινου ταξατε επ εμε αγαπην
[5] στηρισατε με εν αμοραις στοιβασατε με εν μηλοις οτι τετρωμενη αγαπης εγω
[6] ευωνυμος αυτου υπο την κεφαλην μου και η δεξια αυτου περιλημψεται με
[7] ωρκισα υμας θυγατερες ιερουσαλημ εν ταις δυναμεσιν και εν ταις ισχυσεσιν του αγρου εαν εγειρητε και εξεγειρητε την αγαπην εως ου θεληση
[8] φωνη αδελφιδου μου ιδου ουτος ηκει πηδων επι τα ορη διαλλομενος επι τους βουνους
[9] ομοιος εστιν αδελφιδος μου τη δορκαδι η νεβρω ελαφων επι τα ορη βαιθηλ ιδου ουτος εστηκεν οπισω του τοιχου ημων παρακυπτων δια των θυριδων εκκυπτων δια των δικτυων
[10] αποκρινεται αδελφιδος μου και λεγει μοι αναστα ελθε η πλησιον μου καλη μου περιστερα μου
[11] οτι ιδου ο χειμων παρηλθεν ο υετος απηλθεν επορευθη εαυτω
[12] τα ανθη ωφθη εν τη γη καιρος της τομης εφθακεν φωνη του τρυγονος ηκουσθη εν τη γη ημων
[13] η συκη εξηνεγκεν ολυνθους αυτης αι αμπελοι κυπριζουσιν εδωκαν οσμην αναστα ελθε η πλησιον μου καλη μου περιστερα μου
[14] και ελθε συ περιστερα μου εν σκεπη της πετρας εχομενα του προτειχισματος δειξον μοι την οψιν σου και ακουτισον με την φωνην σου οτι η φωνη σου ηδεια και η οψις σου ωραια
[15] πιασατε ημιν αλωπεκας μικρους αφανιζοντας αμπελωνας και αι αμπελοι ημων κυπριζουσιν
[16] αδελφιδος μου εμοι καγω αυτω ο ποιμαινων εν τοις κρινοις
[17] εως ου διαπνευση η ημερα και κινηθωσιν αι σκιαι αποστρεψον ομοιωθητι συ αδελφιδε μου τω δορκωνι η νεβρω ελαφων επι ορη κοιλωματων
