Song of Solomon 4 (WEBP)

[1] Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair is as a flock of goats, that descend from Mount Gilead.
[2] Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock, which have come up from the washing, where every one of them has twins. None is bereaved among them.
[3] Your lips are like scarlet thread. Your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
[4] Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armory, on which a thousand shields hang, all the shields of the mighty men.
[5] Your two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe, which feed among the lilies.
[6] Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, to the hill of frankincense.
[7] You are all beautiful, my love. There is no spot in you.
[8] Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
[9] You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride. You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.
[10] How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, the fragrance of your perfumes than all kinds of spices!
[11] Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
[12] My sister, my bride, is a locked up garden; a locked up spring, a sealed fountain.
[13] Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits, henna with spikenard plants,
[14] spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree; myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,
[15] a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, flowing streams from Lebanon.
[16] Awake, north wind, and come, you south! Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and taste his precious fruits.

[1] ιδου ει καλη η πλησιον μου ιδου ει καλη οφθαλμοι σου περιστεραι εκτος της σιωπησεως σου τριχωμα σου ως αγελαι των αιγων αι απεκαλυφθησαν απο του γαλααδ
[2] οδοντες σου ως αγελαι των κεκαρμενων αι ανεβησαν απο του λουτρου αι πασαι διδυμευουσαι και ατεκνουσα ουκ εστιν εν αυταις
[3] ως σπαρτιον το κοκκινον χειλη σου και η λαλια σου ωραια ως λεπυρον της ροας μηλον σου εκτος της σιωπησεως σου
[4] ως πυργος δαυιδ τραχηλος σου ο ωκοδομημενος εις θαλπιωθ χιλιοι θυρεοι κρεμανται επ αυτον πασαι βολιδες των δυνατων
[5] δυο μαστοι σου ως δυο νεβροι διδυμοι δορκαδος οι νεμομενοι εν κρινοις
[6] εως ου διαπνευση η ημερα και κινηθωσιν αι σκιαι πορευσομαι εμαυτω προς το ορος της σμυρνης και προς τον βουνον του λιβανου
[7] ολη καλη ει η πλησιον μου και μωμος ουκ εστιν εν σοι
[8] δευρο απο λιβανου νυμφη δευρο απο λιβανου ελευση και διελευση απο αρχης πιστεως απο κεφαλης σανιρ και ερμων απο μανδρων λεοντων απο ορεων παρδαλεων
[9] εκαρδιωσας ημας αδελφη μου νυμφη εκαρδιωσας ημας ενι απο οφθαλμων σου εν μια ενθεματι τραχηλων σου
[10] τι εκαλλιωθησαν μαστοι σου αδελφη μου νυμφη τι εκαλλιωθησαν μαστοι σου απο οινου και οσμη ιματιων σου υπερ παντα τα αρωματα
[11] κηριον αποσταζουσιν χειλη σου νυμφη μελι και γαλα υπο την γλωσσαν σου και οσμη ιματιων σου ως οσμη λιβανου
[12] κηπος κεκλεισμενος αδελφη μου νυμφη κηπος κεκλεισμενος πηγη εσφραγισμενη
[13] αποστολαι σου παραδεισος ροων μετα καρπου ακροδρυων κυπροι μετα ναρδων
[14] ναρδος και κροκος καλαμος και κινναμωμον μετα παντων ξυλων του λιβανου σμυρνα αλωθ μετα παντων πρωτων μυρων

[16] εξεγερθητι βορρα και ερχου νοτε διαπνευσον κηπον μου και ρευσατωσαν αρωματα μου καταβητω αδελφιδος μου εις κηπον αυτου και φαγετω καρπον ακροδρυων αυτου
