Song of Solomon 2
1 I am [like] [MET] a flower/rose from the Sharon [Plain], and [like] [MET] a lily [that grows] in a valley.
Soy la rosa de Sarón Y el lirio de los valles.
2 Among the [other] young women, the one whom I love is like [MET] a lily [growing] among thorns!
Como el lirio entre los espinos, Así es mi amada entre las doncellas.
3 And among [the other] men, you, the man who loves me, are like [MET] an apple/fruit tree [that grows] in the forest. [You are like a tree whose] shadow [protects me from the sun], and your [being close to me] [EUP] is like [MET] eating sweet fruit.
Como el manzano entre los árboles del bosque, Así es mi amado entre los jóvenes. A su sombra deseo sentarme y comer sus dulces frutos.
4 You led me to the (banquet room/room where we could make love), and it is evident that you love me very much.
Él me lleva a la sala del banquete, Y su estandarte sobre mí es amor.
5 Refresh me and strengthen me [with your lovemaking] [like I am refreshed by eating] [MET, EUP] raisins and other fruit, because I very much desire that you love me even more.
¡Susténtenme con pasas, Confórtenme con manzanas, Porque estoy enferma de amor!
6 Put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
¡Su izquierda esté bajo mi cabeza, Y su derecha me abrace!
7 You young women of Jerusalem, solemnly promise me, while the does and gazelles [are listening], that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.
¡Oh hijas de Jerusalén, Las conjuro por las gacelas y por los venados del campo, Que no despierten ni hagan velar al amor hasta que quiera!
8 I hear the voice of the man who loves me. [It is as though] [MET] he is leaping over the mountains and skipping over the hills
¡La voz de mi amado! ¡Allí salta sobre las montañas, Brinca sobre las colinas!
9 like [SIM] a deer or a gazelle. Now he is standing outside the wall of our house, looking in the window, and peering through the (lattice/wooden strips inside the window frame).
Mi amado es como un venado o un cervatillo. ¡Miren! Está tras nuestro muro y mira por las ventanas. Observa por las celosías.
10 He spoke to me and said, “You whom I love, get up; my beautiful one, come with me [CHI]!
Mi amado habló: ¡Oh amada mía, hermosa mía, levántate y sal conmigo!
11 Look, the (winter/cold season) is ended; the rain has stopped;
Porque pasó el invierno. La lluvia cesó y se fue.
12 flowers are blooming throughout the country/land. It is now time to sing; we hear the doves cooing.
Las flores aparecen en la tierra, El tiempo de la poda llegó Y la voz de la tórtola se oye en nuestra tierra.
13 There are young/new figs on the fig trees, and there are blossoms on the grapevines and their fragrance fills the air. You whom I love, get up; my beautiful one, come with me!
La higuera ya madura sus brevas, Y las vides en flor exhalan su aroma. ¡Levántate, oh amada mía, Hermosa mía, y ven!
14 [You are like] [MET] a dove that is hiding [far from me] in an opening/crack in the rocky cliff. Show me your face, and allow me to hear your voice, because your voice is sweet-sounding and your face is lovely [CHI].”
¡Oh paloma mía! Tú, que anidas en las grietas de la peña, En los escarpados parajes: ¡Muéstrate! ¡Hazme oír tu voz! Porque dulce es tu voz y hermoso tu rostro.
15 [There are other men who are like] [MET] little jackals/foxes that ruin vineyards; do not allow [those men to attack me].
Cácennos las zorras, Las zorras pequeñas que echan a perder las viñas, ¡Nuestras viñas en flor!
16 You who love me, I belong to you and you belong to me, and you [experience pleasure when you kiss] my lips [like] [MET] a shepherd enjoys taking care of his sheep.
¡Mi amado es mío y yo suya! Él pastorea entre los lirios
17 You who love me, come and be like [SIM] a gazelle or like a young deer on the hills of Bether, and then flee like a deer at dawn [tomorrow morning], when the darkness fades.
Hasta que refresque el día y huyan las sombras. ¡Vuelve, oh amado mío! Sé como el venado o el cervatillo sobre las montañas de Béter.
