Song of Solomon 8
1 I wish that you were my brother who (nursed at/drank milk from) my mother’s breasts [when you were a baby], [because, if you were my brother], if I saw you when you were outside [the house], I could kiss you, and no one would say that my doing that was wrong.
¡OH quién te me diese como hermano que mamó los pechos de mi madre; [de modo] que te halle yo fuera, y te bese, y no me menosprecien!
2 [No one would object if] I led you to my mother’s house, to where my mother, who taught me [many things], lives. I would like to take you to my mother’s house because I would [like to make love to you] [EUP], [and that would be as delightful as] [MET] juice [squeezed] from pomegranates.
Yo te llevaría, te metiera en casa de mi madre: tú me enseñarías, y yo te hiciera beber vino adobado del mosto de mis granadas.
3 You would put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
Su izquierda [esté] debajo de mi cabeza, y su derecha me abrace.
4 [I would say to] you women of Jerusalem, “Solemnly promise me that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.”
Conjúroos, oh doncellas de Jerusalem, que no despertéis, ni hagáis velar al amor, hasta que quiera.
5 Who is that [woman] who is coming up from the desert, (leaning on/clinging close to) the man who loves her? I woke you up [when you were] under the apple tree at the place where your mother conceived you, which is the same place where she gave birth to you.
¿Quién es ésta que sube del desierto, recostada sobre su amado? Debajo de un manzano te desperté: allí tuvo tu madre dolores, allí tuvo dolores la que te parió.
6 Keep me [close to you], like [SIM] a seal on your heart, [or] like [SIM] a bracelet on your arm. Our love [for each other] is as powerful as death, it is as enduring as the grave. [It is as though] our love [for each other] bursts into flames and burns like a hot fire. (Sheol h7585)
Ponme como un sello sobre tu corazón, como una marca sobre tu brazo: porque fuerte es como la muerte el amor; duro como el sepulcro el celo: sus brasas, brasas de fuego, fuerte llama. (Sheol h7585)
7 Nothing can extinguish our love [for each other], not [even] a flood. If a man tried to cause a woman to love him by saying he would give her everything that is in his house, she would refuse.
Las muchas aguas no podrán apagar el amor, ni lo ahogarán los ríos. Si diese el hombre toda la hacienda de su casa por este amor, de cierto lo menospreciaran.
8 We have a younger sister, and her breasts are still small. So this is [RHQ] what we should do for her on the day that we promise [some young man] that he can marry her:
Tenemos una pequeña hermana, que no tiene pechos: ¿qué haremos á nuestra hermana cuando de ella se hablare?
9 If [her chest is flat like] [MET] a wall, we will [decorate it by] putting silver [jewels that are like] [MET] towers on it. Or, if she is [flat like] [MET] a door, we will decorate her with bits/pieces of cedar wood.
Si ella es muro, edificaremos sobre él un palacio de plata: y si fuere puerta, la guarneceremos con tablas de cedro.
10 My [chest was previously flat like] [MET] a wall, [but now] my breasts are [big] like [SIM] towers. So the one who loves me is delighted with me.
Yo soy muro, y mis pechos como torres, desde que fuí en sus ojos como la que halla paz.
11 [King] Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon, and he rented it to people for them to take care of it. He required each one to pay him 1,000 pieces of silver [each year] for the grapes [that they harvested].
Salomón tuvo una viña en Baal-hamón, la cual entregó á guardas, cada uno de los cuales debía traer mil [monedas] de plata por su fruto.
12 [But my body is like] [MET] my own vineyard, and Solomon, I am giving it to you. [You do not need to pay me] 1,000 pieces of silver [to enjoy my body], but I will give 200 pieces of silver to those who take care of me [MET].
Mi viña, que es mía, está delante de mí: las mil serán tuyas, oh Salomón, y doscientas, de los que guardan su fruto.
13 You are staying in the gardens and my friends are listening to your voice; [so] allow me to hear it, [too.]
Oh tú la que moras en los huertos, los compañeros escuchan tu voz: házmela oir.
14 You who love me, come [to me] quickly; [run to me] [MET, EUP] as fast as [SIM] a gazelle or young deer runs across [MET] hills of spices.
Huye, amado mío; y sé semejante al gamo, ó al cervatillo, sobre las montañas de los aromas.
