< שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים 2 >
אֲנִי֙ חֲבַצֶּ֣לֶת הַשָּׁרֹ֔ון שֹֽׁושַׁנַּ֖ת הָעֲמָקִֽים׃ | 1 |
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valley.
כְּשֹֽׁושַׁנָּה֙ בֵּ֣ין הַחֹוחִ֔ים כֵּ֥ן רַעְיָתִ֖י בֵּ֥ין הַבָּנֹֽות׃ | 2 |
Like a lily among the thorns is my darling among the maidens.
כְּתַפּ֙וּחַ֙ בַּעֲצֵ֣י הַיַּ֔עַר כֵּ֥ן דֹּודִ֖י בֵּ֣ין הַבָּנִ֑ים בְּצִלֹּו֙ חִמַּ֣דְתִּי וְיָשַׁ֔בְתִּי וּפִרְיֹ֖ו מָתֹ֥וק לְחִכִּֽי׃ | 3 |
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
הֱבִיאַ֙נִי֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית הַיָּ֔יִן וְדִגְלֹ֥ו עָלַ֖י אַהֲבָֽה׃ | 4 |
He has brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me is love.
סַמְּכ֙וּנִי֙ בָּֽאֲשִׁישֹׁ֔ות רַפְּד֖וּנִי בַּתַּפּוּחִ֑ים כִּי־חֹולַ֥ת אַהֲבָ֖ה אָֽנִי׃ | 5 |
Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.
שְׂמֹאלֹו֙ תַּ֣חַת לְרֹאשִׁ֔י וִימִינֹ֖ו תְּחַבְּקֵֽנִי׃ | 6 |
His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
הִשְׁבַּ֨עְתִּי אֶתְכֶ֜ם בְּנֹ֤ות יְרוּשָׁלַ֙͏ִם֙ בִּצְבָאֹ֔ות אֹ֖ו בְּאַיְלֹ֣ות הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה אִם־תָּעִ֧ירוּ ׀ וְֽאִם־תְּעֹֽורְר֛וּ אֶת־הָאַהֲבָ֖ה עַ֥ד שֶׁתֶּחְפָּֽץ׃ ס | 7 |
O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
קֹ֣ול דֹּודִ֔י הִנֵּה־זֶ֖ה בָּ֑א מְדַלֵּג֙ עַל־הֶ֣הָרִ֔ים מְקַפֵּ֖ץ עַל־הַגְּבָעֹֽות׃ | 8 |
Listen! My beloved approaches. Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills.
דֹּומֶ֤ה דֹודִי֙ לִצְבִ֔י אֹ֖ו לְעֹ֣פֶר הָֽאַיָּלִ֑ים הִנֵּה־זֶ֤ה עֹומֵד֙ אַחַ֣ר כָּתְלֵ֔נוּ מַשְׁגִּ֙יחַ֙ מִן־הַֽחֲלֹּנֹ֔ות מֵצִ֖יץ מִן־הֽ͏ַחֲרַכִּֽים׃ | 9 |
My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look, he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice.
עָנָ֥ה דֹודִ֖י וְאָ֣מַר לִ֑י ק֥וּמִי לָ֛ךְ רַעְיָתִ֥י יָפָתִ֖י וּלְכִי־לָֽךְ׃ | 10 |
My beloved calls to me, “Arise, my darling. Come away with me, my beautiful one.
כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֥ה הַסְּתָו (הַסְּתָ֖יו) עָבָ֑ר הַגֶּ֕שֶׁם חָלַ֖ף הָלַ֥ךְ לֹֽו׃ | 11 |
For now the winter is past; the rain is over and gone.
הַנִּצָּנִים֙ נִרְא֣וּ בָאָ֔רֶץ עֵ֥ת הַזָּמִ֖יר הִגִּ֑יעַ וְקֹ֥ול הַתֹּ֖ור נִשְׁמַ֥ע בְּאַרְצֵֽנוּ׃ | 12 |
The flowers have appeared in the countryside; the season of singing has come, and the cooing of turtledoves is heard in our land.
הַתְּאֵנָה֙ חָֽנְטָ֣ה פַגֶּ֔יהָ וְהַגְּפָנִ֥ים ׀ סְמָדַ֖ר נָ֣תְנוּ רֵ֑יחַ ק֥וּמִי לְכִי (לָ֛ךְ) רַעְיָתִ֥י יָפָתִ֖י וּלְכִי־לָֽךְ׃ ס | 13 |
The fig tree ripens its figs; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come away, my darling; come away with me, my beautiful one.”
יֹונָתִ֞י בְּחַגְוֵ֣י הַסֶּ֗לַע בְּסֵ֙תֶר֙ הַמַּדְרֵגָ֔ה הַרְאִ֙ינִי֙ אֶת־מַרְאַ֔יִךְ הַשְׁמִיעִ֖ינִי אֶת־קֹולֵ֑ךְ כִּי־קֹולֵ֥ךְ עָרֵ֖ב וּמַרְאֵ֥יךְ נָאוֶֽה׃ ס | 14 |
O my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the crevices of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your countenance is lovely.
אֶֽחֱזוּ־לָ֙נוּ֙ שֽׁוּעָלִ֔ים שֽׁוּעָלִ֥ים קְטַנִּ֖ים מְחַבְּלִ֣ים כְּרָמִ֑ים וּכְרָמֵ֖ינוּ סְמָדַֽר׃ | 15 |
Catch for us the foxes— the little foxes that ruin the vineyards— for our vineyards are in bloom.
דֹּודִ֥י לִי֙ וַאֲנִ֣י לֹ֔ו הָרֹעֶ֖ה בַּשֹּׁושַׁנִּֽים׃ | 16 |
My beloved is mine and I am his; he pastures his flock among the lilies.
עַ֤ד שֶׁיָּפ֙וּחַ֙ הַיֹּ֔ום וְנָ֖סוּ הַצְּלָלִ֑ים סֹב֩ דְּמֵה־לְךָ֙ דֹודִ֜י לִצְבִ֗י אֹ֛ו לְעֹ֥פֶר הָאַיָּלִ֖ים עַל־הָ֥רֵי בָֽתֶר׃ ס | 17 |
Before the day breaks and shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of Bether.
