Song of Songs 8
1 I would that you, O my kinsman, were he that sucked the breasts of my mother; when I found you without, I would kiss you; yes, they should not despise me.
quis mihi det te fratrem meum sugentem ubera matris meae ut inveniam te foris et deosculer et iam me nemo despiciat
2 I would take you, I would bring you into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me; I would make you to drink of spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranates.
adprehendam te et ducam in domum matris meae ibi me docebis et dabo tibi poculum ex vino condito et mustum malorum granatorum meorum
3 His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
leva eius sub capite meo et dextera illius amplexabitur me
4 I have charged you, you daughters of Jerusalem, by the virtues of the field, that you stir not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
adiuro vos filiae Hierusalem ne suscitetis et evigilare faciatis dilectam donec ipsa velit
5 Who is this that comes up all white, leaning on her kinsman? I raised you up under an apple tree; there your mother brought you forth; there she that bore you brought you forth.
quae est ista quae ascendit de deserto deliciis affluens et nixa super dilectum suum sub arbore malo suscitavi te ibi corrupta est mater tua ibi violata est genetrix tua
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave, her shafts are shafts of fire, [even] the flames thereof. (Sheol h7585)
pone me ut signaculum super cor tuum ut signaculum super brachium tuum quia fortis est ut mors dilectio dura sicut inferus aemulatio lampades eius lampades ignis atque flammarum (Sheol h7585)
7 Much water will not be able to quench love, and rivers shall not drown it; if a man would give all his substance for love, [men] would utterly despise it.
aquae multae non poterunt extinguere caritatem nec flumina obruent illam si dederit homo omnem substantiam domus suae pro dilectione quasi nihil despicient eum
8 Our sister is little, and has no breasts; what shall we do for our sister, in the day wherein she shall be spoken for?
soror nostra parva et ubera non habet quid faciemus sorori nostrae in die quando adloquenda est
9 If she is a wall, let us build upon her silver bulwarks; and if she is a door, let us carve for her cedar panels.
si murus est aedificemus super eum propugnacula argentea si ostium est conpingamus illud tabulis cedrinis
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are as towers; I was in their eyes as one that found peace.
ego murus et ubera mea sicut turris ex quo facta sum coram eo quasi pacem repperiens
11 Solomon had a vineyard in Beelamon; he let his vineyard to keepers; every one was to bring for its fruit a thousand [pieces] of silver.
vinea fuit Pacifico in ea quae habet populos tradidit eam custodibus vir adfert pro fructu eius mille argenteos
12 My vineyard, even mine, is before me; Solomon [shall have] a thousand, and they that keep its fruit two hundred.
vinea mea coram me est mille tui Pacifice et ducenti his qui custodiunt fructus eius
13 You that dwell in the gardens, the companions listen to your voice: make me hear [it].
quae habitas in hortis amici auscultant fac me audire vocem tuam
14 Away, my kinsman, and be like a doe or a fawn on the mountains of spices.
fuge dilecte mi et adsimilare capreae hinuloque cervorum super montes aromatum
