Song of Solomon 1
1 THE SONG of songs, which is Solomon's.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for thy love is better than wine.
osculetur me osculo oris sui quia meliora sunt ubera tua vino
3 Thine ointments have a goodly fragrance; thy name is as ointment poured forth; therefore do the maidens love thee.
fraglantia unguentis optimis oleum effusum nomen tuum ideo adulescentulae dilexerunt te
4 Draw me, we will run after thee; the king hath brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will find thy love more fragrant than wine! sincerely do they love thee.
trahe me post te curremus introduxit me rex in cellaria sua exultabimus et laetabimur in te memores uberum tuorum super vinum recti diligunt te
5 'I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
nigra sum sed formonsa filiae Hierusalem sicut tabernacula Cedar sicut pelles Salomonis
6 Look not upon me, that I am swarthy, that the sun hath tanned me; my mother's sons were incensed against me, they made me keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.'
nolite me considerare quod fusca sim quia decoloravit me sol filii matris meae pugnaverunt contra me posuerunt me custodem in vineis vineam meam non custodivi
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon; for why should I be as one that veileth herself beside the flocks of thy companions?
indica mihi quem diligit anima mea ubi pascas ubi cubes in meridie ne vagari incipiam per greges sodalium tuorum
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock and feed thy kids, beside the shepherds' tents.
si ignoras te o pulchra inter mulieres egredere et abi post vestigia gregum et pasce hedos tuos iuxta tabernacula pastorum
9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
equitatui meo in curribus Pharaonis adsimilavi te amica mea
10 Thy cheeks are comely with circlets, thy neck with beads.
pulchrae sunt genae tuae sicut turturis collum tuum sicut monilia
11 We will make thee circlets of gold with studs of silver.
murenulas aureas faciemus tibi vermiculatas argento
12 While the king sat at his table, my spikenard sent forth its fragrance.
dum esset rex in accubitu suo nardus mea dedit odorem suum
13 My beloved is unto me as a bag of myrrh, that lieth betwixt my breasts.
fasciculus murrae dilectus meus mihi inter ubera mea commorabitur
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna in the vineyards of En-gedi.
botrus cypri dilectus meus mihi in vineis Engaddi
15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are as doves.
ecce tu pulchra es amica mea ecce tu pulchra oculi tui columbarum
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; also our couch is leafy.
ecce tu pulcher es dilecte mi et decorus lectulus noster floridus
17 The beams of our houses are cedars, and our panels are cypresses.
tigna domorum nostrarum cedrina laquearia nostra cypressina
