שיר השירים 1
| שִׁ יר הַשִּׁירִים אֲשֶׁר לִשְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ | 1 |
The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
| יִשָּׁקֵנִי מִנְּשִׁיקוֹת פִּיהוּ כִּֽי־טוֹבִים דֹּדֶיךָ מִיָּֽיִן׃ | 2 |
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for your love is better than wine.
| לְרֵיחַ שְׁמָנֶיךָ טוֹבִים שֶׁמֶן תּוּרַק שְׁמֶךָ עַל־כֵּן עֲלָמוֹת אֲהֵבֽוּךָ׃ | 3 |
Because of the smell of your good ointments your name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love you.
| מׇשְׁכֵנִי אַחֲרֶיךָ נָּרוּצָה הֱבִיאַנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ חֲדָרָיו נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בָּךְ נַזְכִּירָה דֹדֶיךָ מִיַּיִן מֵישָׁרִים אֲהֵבֽוּךָ׃ | 4 |
Draw me, we will run after you: the king has brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in you, we will remember your love more than wine: the upright love you.
| שְׁחוֹרָה אֲנִי וְֽנָאוָה בְּנוֹת יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם כְּאׇהֳלֵי קֵדָר כִּירִיעוֹת שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ | 5 |
I am black, but comely, O you daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
| אַל־תִּרְאוּנִי שֶׁאֲנִי שְׁחַרְחֹרֶת שֶׁשְּׁזָפַתְנִי הַשָּׁמֶשׁ בְּנֵי אִמִּי נִֽחֲרוּ־בִי שָׂמֻנִי נֹטֵרָה אֶת־הַכְּרָמִים כַּרְמִי שֶׁלִּי לֹא נָטָֽרְתִּי׃ | 6 |
Look not on me, because I am black, because the sun has looked on me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard have I not kept.
| הַגִּידָה לִּי שֶׁאָֽהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי אֵיכָה תִרְעֶה אֵיכָה תַּרְבִּיץ בַּֽצׇּהֳרָיִם שַׁלָּמָה אֶֽהְיֶה כְּעֹטְיָה עַל עֶדְרֵי חֲבֵרֶֽיךָ׃ | 7 |
Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, where you feed, where you make your flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turns aside by the flocks of your companions?
| אִם־לֹא תֵֽדְעִי לָךְ הַיָּפָה בַּנָּשִׁים צְֽאִי־לָךְ בְּעִקְבֵי הַצֹּאן וּרְעִי אֶת־גְּדִיֹּתַיִךְ עַל מִשְׁכְּנוֹת הָרֹעִֽים׃ | 8 |
If you know not, O you fairest among women, go your way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed your kids beside the shepherds’ tents.
| לְסֻֽסָתִי בְּרִכְבֵי פַרְעֹה דִּמִּיתִיךְ רַעְיָתִֽי׃ | 9 |
I have compared you, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.
| נָאווּ לְחָיַיִךְ בַּתֹּרִים צַוָּארֵךְ בַּחֲרוּזִֽים׃ | 10 |
Your cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, your neck with chains of gold.
| תּוֹרֵי זָהָב נַֽעֲשֶׂה־לָּךְ עִם נְקֻדּוֹת הַכָּֽסֶף׃ | 11 |
We will make you borders of gold with studs of silver.
| עַד־שֶׁהַמֶּלֶךְ בִּמְסִבּוֹ נִרְדִּי נָתַן רֵיחֽוֹ׃ | 12 |
While the king sits at his table, my spikenard sends forth the smell thereof.
| צְרוֹר הַמֹּר ׀ דּוֹדִי לִי בֵּין שָׁדַי יָלִֽין׃ | 13 |
A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved to me; he shall lie all night between my breasts.
| אֶשְׁכֹּל הַכֹּפֶר ׀ דּוֹדִי לִי בְּכַרְמֵי עֵין גֶּֽדִי׃ | 14 |
My beloved is to me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
| הִנָּךְ יָפָה רַעְיָתִי הִנָּךְ יָפָה עֵינַיִךְ יוֹנִֽים׃ | 15 |
Behold, you are fair, my love; behold, you are fair; you have doves’ eyes.
| הִנְּךָ יָפֶה דוֹדִי אַף נָעִים אַף־עַרְשֵׂנוּ רַעֲנָנָֽה׃ | 16 |
Behold, you are fair, my beloved, yes, pleasant: also our bed is green.
| קֹרוֹת בָּתֵּינוּ אֲרָזִים (רחיטנו) [רַהִיטֵנוּ] בְּרוֹתִֽים׃ | 17 |
The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
