Song of Solomon 1
1 Solomon's song of songs.
| שִׁ יר הַשִּׁירִים אֲשֶׁר לִשְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ |
2 Kiss me, kiss me with your mouth again and again, for your love is sweeter than wine.
| יִשָּׁקֵנִי מִנְּשִׁיקוֹת פִּיהוּ כִּֽי־טוֹבִים דֹּדֶיךָ מִיָּֽיִן׃ |
3 I love the way you smell from the perfumed oils you use. You have quite a reputation—it spreads like spilled perfumed oil. It's not surprising that all the young women adore you!
| לְרֵיחַ שְׁמָנֶיךָ טוֹבִים שֶׁמֶן תּוּרַק שְׁמֶךָ עַל־כֵּן עֲלָמוֹת אֲהֵבֽוּךָ׃ |
4 Take me by the hand—let's run! (The king has brought me to his bedroom.) Let's be happy together and find pleasure in your love. Your love is far better than wine! Women are right to adore you so!
| מׇשְׁכֵנִי אַחֲרֶיךָ נָּרוּצָה הֱבִיאַנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ חֲדָרָיו נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בָּךְ נַזְכִּירָה דֹדֶיךָ מִיַּיִן מֵישָׁרִים אֲהֵבֽוּךָ׃ |
5 I'm black, but I'm beautiful, women of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
| שְׁחוֹרָה אֲנִי וְֽנָאוָה בְּנוֹת יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם כְּאׇהֳלֵי קֵדָר כִּירִיעוֹת שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ |
6 Don't look down on me because I'm black, because the sun has burned me. My brothers were angry with me and made me look after the vineyards, so I couldn't look after my own vineyard.
| אַל־תִּרְאוּנִי שֶׁאֲנִי שְׁחַרְחֹרֶת שֶׁשְּׁזָפַתְנִי הַשָּׁמֶשׁ בְּנֵי אִמִּי נִֽחֲרוּ־בִי שָׂמֻנִי נֹטֵרָה אֶת־הַכְּרָמִים כַּרְמִי שֶׁלִּי לֹא נָטָֽרְתִּי׃ |
7 My love, please tell me where you're taking your flock. Where will you rest them at noon? For why should I have to wear a veil while looking for you among the flocks of your companions?
| הַגִּידָה לִּי שֶׁאָֽהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי אֵיכָה תִרְעֶה אֵיכָה תַּרְבִּיץ בַּֽצׇּהֳרָיִם שַׁלָּמָה אֶֽהְיֶה כְּעֹטְיָה עַל עֶדְרֵי חֲבֵרֶֽיךָ׃ |
8 If you really don't know, you who are more beautiful than any other woman, then follow the tracks of my flock, and let your goats graze near the shepherd's tents.
| אִם־לֹא תֵֽדְעִי לָךְ הַיָּפָה בַּנָּשִׁים צְֽאִי־לָךְ בְּעִקְבֵי הַצֹּאן וּרְעִי אֶת־גְּדִיֹּתַיִךְ עַל מִשְׁכְּנוֹת הָרֹעִֽים׃ |
9 My darling, to me you're like a mare among Pharaoh's horses that pull his chariots,
| לְסֻֽסָתִי בְּרִכְבֵי פַרְעֹה דִּמִּיתִיךְ רַעְיָתִֽי׃ |
10 Your beautiful cheeks adorned with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
| נָאווּ לְחָיַיִךְ בַּתֹּרִים צַוָּארֵךְ בַּחֲרוּזִֽים׃ |
11 Let's make you some gold ornaments inlaid with silver.
| תּוֹרֵי זָהָב נַֽעֲשֶׂה־לָּךְ עִם נְקֻדּוֹת הַכָּֽסֶף׃ |
12 As the king lay on his couch, my nard perfume gave off its fragrance.
| עַד־שֶׁהַמֶּלֶךְ בִּמְסִבּוֹ נִרְדִּי נָתַן רֵיחֽוֹ׃ |
13 My love is like a pouch of myrrh, lying all night between my breasts.
| צְרוֹר הַמֹּר ׀ דּוֹדִי לִי בֵּין שָׁדַי יָלִֽין׃ |
14 My love is like a bunch of fragrant henna flowers in the vineyards of Engedi.
| אֶשְׁכֹּל הַכֹּפֶר ׀ דּוֹדִי לִי בְּכַרְמֵי עֵין גֶּֽדִי׃ |
15 Look at how very beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are as gentle as doves.
| הִנָּךְ יָפָה רַעְיָתִי הִנָּךְ יָפָה עֵינַיִךְ יוֹנִֽים׃ |
16 And you, my love, are so handsome—how charming you are! The green grass is our bed,
| הִנְּךָ יָפֶה דוֹדִי אַף נָעִים אַף־עַרְשֵׂנוּ רַעֲנָנָֽה׃ |
17 with cedar trees as beams for our “house,” and pine trees for the rafters.
| קֹרוֹת בָּתֵּינוּ אֲרָזִים (רחיטנו) [רַהִיטֵנוּ] בְּרוֹתִֽים׃ |
