Cantar de los Cantares 6
1 ¿Adónde se ha ido tu amado, oh hermosa entre las mujeres? ¿Hacia dónde se ha vuelto tu amado, para que le busquemos contigo?
Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?
2 Mi amado bajó a su jardín, a las eras de bálsamo, para pastorear en los jardines, y juntar azucenas.
My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
3 Yo soy de mi amado; y mi amado es mío, el pastor entre azucenas.
I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine. He browses among the lilies,
4 Hermosa eres, amiga mía, como Tirsá, amable como Jerusalén, temible como batallones de guerra.
You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.
5 Aparta de mí tus ojos, porque ellos me conturban. Es tu cabellera, como una manada de cabras que va por las laderas de Galaad.
Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats, that lie along the side of Gilead.
6 Tus dientes son como un rebaño de ovejas que suben del lavadero, todas con crías gemelas, y no hay entre ellas una estéril.
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing; of which every one has twins; none is bereaved among them.
7 Como mitades de granada son tus mejillas, detrás de tu velo.
Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
8 Sesenta son las reinas, ochenta las concubinas, e innumerables las doncellas.
There are sixty queens, eighty secondary wives, and virgins without number.
9 Pero una es mi paloma, mi perfecta; única para su madre, la predilecta de aquella que la engendró. Las jóvenes la vieron, y la proclamaron dichosa; la vieron las reinas y concubinas, y la alabaron.
My dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother's only daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; the queens and the secondary wives, and they praised her.
10 ¿Quién es esta que avanza como la aurora, hermosa como la luna, pura como el sol, temible como batallones de guerra?
Who is she who looks forth as the morning, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, and awesome as an army with banners?
11 He bajado al nogueral, para mirar las flores del valle, para ver si ha brotado la vid, si florecen los granados.
I went down into the nut tree grove, to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded, and the pomegranates were in flower.
12 No reconozco mi alma; ¡me ha puesto en los carros de Aminadib!
Without realizing it, my desire set me with my royal people's chariots.
13 ¡Vuelve, vuelve, Sulamita! ¡Vuelve, vuelve, para que te miremos! ¿Por qué miráis a la Sulamita como las danzas de Mahanaim?
Return, return, Shulammite. Return, return, that we may gaze at you. Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite, as at the dance of Mahanaim?
