Song of Solomon 5 (WEBP)

[1] I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
[2] I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”
[3] I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
[4] My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.
[5] I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
[6] I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.
[7] The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
[8] I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love.
[9] How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?
[10] My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
[11] His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
[12] His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
[13] His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
[14] His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
[15] His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
[16] His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

[1] εισηλθον εις κηπον μου αδελφη μου νυμφη ετρυγησα σμυρναν μου μετα αρωματων μου εφαγον αρτον μου μετα μελιτος μου επιον οινον μου μετα γαλακτος μου φαγετε πλησιοι και πιετε και μεθυσθητε αδελφοι
[2] εγω καθευδω και η καρδια μου αγρυπνει φωνη αδελφιδου μου κρουει επι την θυραν ανοιξον μοι αδελφη μου η πλησιον μου περιστερα μου τελεια μου οτι η κεφαλη μου επλησθη δροσου και οι βοστρυχοι μου ψεκαδων νυκτος
[3] εξεδυσαμην τον χιτωνα μου πως ενδυσωμαι αυτον ενιψαμην τους ποδας μου πως μολυνω αυτους
[4] αδελφιδος μου απεστειλεν χειρα αυτου απο της οπης και η κοιλια μου εθροηθη επ αυτον
[5] ανεστην εγω ανοιξαι τω αδελφιδω μου χειρες μου εσταξαν σμυρναν δακτυλοι μου σμυρναν πληρη επι χειρας του κλειθρου
[6] ηνοιξα εγω τω αδελφιδω μου αδελφιδος μου παρηλθεν ψυχη μου εξηλθεν εν λογω αυτου εζητησα αυτον και ουχ ευρον αυτον εκαλεσα αυτον και ουχ υπηκουσεν μου
[7] ευροσαν με οι φυλακες οι κυκλουντες εν τη πολει επαταξαν με ετραυματισαν με ηραν το θεριστρον μου απ εμου φυλακες των τειχεων
[8] ωρκισα υμας θυγατερες ιερουσαλημ εν ταις δυναμεσιν και εν ταις ισχυσεσιν του αγρου εαν ευρητε τον αδελφιδον μου τι απαγγειλητε αυτω οτι τετρωμενη αγαπης ειμι εγω
[9] τι αδελφιδος σου απο αδελφιδου η καλη εν γυναιξιν τι αδελφιδος σου απο αδελφιδου οτι ουτως ωρκισας ημας
[10] αδελφιδος μου λευκος και πυρρος εκλελοχισμενος απο μυριαδων
[11] κεφαλη αυτου χρυσιον και φαζ βοστρυχοι αυτου ελαται μελανες ως κοραξ
[12] οφθαλμοι αυτου ως περιστεραι επι πληρωματα υδατων λελουσμεναι εν γαλακτι καθημεναι επι πληρωματα υδατων
[13] σιαγονες αυτου ως φιαλαι του αρωματος φυουσαι μυρεψικα χειλη αυτου κρινα σταζοντα σμυρναν πληρη
[14] χειρες αυτου τορευται χρυσαι πεπληρωμεναι θαρσις κοιλια αυτου πυξιον ελεφαντινον επι λιθου σαπφειρου
[15] κνημαι αυτου στυλοι μαρμαρινοι τεθεμελιωμενοι επι βασεις χρυσας ειδος αυτου ως λιβανος εκλεκτος ως κεδροι
[16] φαρυγξ αυτου γλυκασμοι και ολος επιθυμια ουτος αδελφιδος μου και ουτος πλησιον μου θυγατερες ιερουσαλημ
