Song of Songs 5
1 Let my kinsman come down into his garden, and eat the fruit of his choice berries. I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spices; I have eaten my bread with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink; yes, brethren, drink abundantly.
Yo vine a mi huerto, oh hermana, esposa mía; he cogido mi mirra y mis aromas; he comido mi panal y mi miel, mi vino y mi leche he bebido. Comed, amigos; bebed, amados, y embriagaos.
2 I sleep, but my heart is awake: the voice of my kinsman knocks at the door, [saying], Open, open to me, my companion, my sister, my dove, my perfect one: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
Yo duermo, pero mi corazón vela por la voz de mi amado que toca a la puerta: Abreme, hermana mía, compañera mía, paloma mía, perfecta mía; porque mi cabeza está llena de rocío, mis cabellos de las gotas de la noche.
3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them?
Me he desnudado mi ropa; ¿cómo la tengo de vestir? He lavado mis pies; ¿cómo los tengo de ensuciar?
4 My kinsman put forth his hand by the hole [of the door], and my belly moved for him.
Mi amado metió su mano por el agujero, y mis entrañas se conmovieron dentro de mí.
5 I rose up to open to my kinsman; my hands dropped myrrh, my fingers choice myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
Yo me levanté para abrir a mi amado, y mis manos gotearon mirra, y mis dedos mirra que corría sobre las aldabas del candado.
6 I opened to my kinsman; my kinsman was gone: my soul failed at his speech: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he answered me not.
Abrí yo a mi amado; mas mi amado se había ido, había ya pasado; y tras su hablar salió mi alma: lo busqué, y no lo hallé; lo llamé, y no me respondió.
7 The watchman that go their rounds in the city found me, they struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
Me hallaron los guardas que rondan la ciudad; me golpearon, me hirieron, me quitaron mi manto de encima los guardas de los muros.
8 I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and the virtues of the field: if you should find my kinsman, what are you to say to him? That I am wounded with love.
Yo os conjuro, oh doncellas de Jerusalén, si hallareis a mi amado, que le hagáis saber cómo de amor estoy enferma.
9 What is your kinsman [more] than [another] kinsman, O you beautiful among women? what is your kinsman [more] than [another] kinsman, that you have so charged us?
¿Qué es tu amado más que los otros amados, oh la más hermosa de todas las mujeres? ¿Qué es tu amado más que los otros amados, que así nos conjuras?
10 My kinsman is white and ruddy, chosen out from myriads.
Mi amado es blanco y rubio, señalado entre diez mil.
11 His head is [as] very fine gold, his locks are flowing, black as a raven.
Su cabeza, como, oro finísimo; sus cabellos crespos, negros como el cuervo.
12 His eyes are as doves, by the pools of waters, washed with milk, sitting by the pools.
Sus ojos, como palomas junto a los arroyos de las aguas, que se lavan con leche; como palomas que están junto a la abundancia.
13 His cheeks are as bowls of spices pouring forth perfumes: his lips are lilies, dropping choice myrrh.
Sus mejillas, como una era de especias aromáticas, como fragantes flores; sus labios, como lirios que destilan mirra que trasciende.
14 His hands are as turned gold set with beryl: his belly is an ivory tablet on a sapphire stone.
Sus manos, como anillos de oro engastados de jacintos; su vientre, como blanco marfil cubierto de zafiros.
15 His legs are marble pillars set on golden sockets: his form is as Libanus, choice as the cedars.
Sus piernas, como columnas de mármol fundadas sobre basas de fino oro; su vista como el Líbano, escogido como los cedros.
16 His throat is most sweet, and altogether desirable. This is my kinsman, and this is my companion, O daughters of Jerusalem.
Su paladar, dulcísimo: y todo él codiciable. Tal es mi amado, tal es mi compañero, oh doncellas de Jerusalén.
