Cantar de los Cantares 6
1 ¿Dónde ha ido tu amor, oh, la más bella de las mujeres? ¿En qué dirección se fue, para que podamos buscarlo contigo?
You who are the most beautiful of all the women, where has the one who loves you gone? [If you tell us] which [RHQ] direction he went, we will go with you to search for him.
2 Mi amor ha bajado a su jardín, a sus parterres de especias. Le gusta comer en los jardines y deshojar lirios.
The one who loves me has now come [to me, who am like] [MET, EUP] his garden, He has come to [enjoy my (charms/physical attractions) which are like] [MET, EUP] spices, to enjoy cuddling up to me [EUP, MET], and [kissing my lips, which are like] [MET] lilies.
3 ¡Yo soy de mi amor, y mi amor es mío! Él es el que se alimenta entre los lirios.
I belong to the one who loves me, and the one who loves me belongs to me; he [enjoys kissing] my lips like [MET] [a shepherd enjoys] taking care of [his sheep].
4 Eres hermosa, querida, tan bonita como Tirzah, tan encantadora como Jerusalén. ¡Te ves asombrosa!
My darling, you are beautiful, like [SIM] Tirzah [the capital city of Israel] and Jerusalem [the capital city of Judah are beautiful]; you are as exciting [MET] as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners.
5 Por favor, aparta tus ojos de mí: ¡me están volviendo loco! Tu pelo baja como un rebaño de cabras que desciende del monte Galaad.
Quit looking at me like that, because your eyes excite me very much. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats [moving down the slopes] of Gilead [Mountain].
6 Tus dientes son tan blancos como un rebaño de ovejas recién esquiladas y lavadas. No te falta ninguno: ¡todos están perfectamente emparejados!
Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has just been shorn and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
7 Tus mejillas son del color del rubor de las granadas detrás de tu velo.
Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Puede haber sesenta reinas y ochenta concubinas, e innumerables mujeres más,
Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
9 pero mi amor, mi perfecto amor, ¡es la única! Es la favorita de su madre, especial para quien la dio a luz. Las jóvenes la ven y dicen lo afortunada que es; reinas y concubinas cantan sus alabanzas.
[none of them would be like] my dove, who is perfect, you who are your mother’s only daughter, whom your mother considers to be very precious. [Other] young women who see you say that you are fortunate, and the queens and concubines recognize that you [are very beautiful].
10 ¿Quién es esta que es como el amanecer que brilla desde arriba, hermosa como la luna, brillante como el sol resplandeciente? ¡Te ves deslumbrante!
Who is [RHQ] this woman who is [as delightful] as [SIM] the dawn, as fair/delightful [to look at] as [the light of] the moon, as exciting as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners?
11 Bajé al huerto de nogales para ver si los árboles estaban en hoja en el valle, para saber si las vides habían brotado o los granados estaban en flor.
I went down to some walnut trees to look at the new plants that were growing in the valley. I wanted to see if the grapevines had budded or if the pomegranate trees were blooming.
12 Estaba tan excitado que parecía que iba en un carro real.
[But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
13 Vuelve, vuelve, mujer Sulamita; vuelve, vuelve, para que podamos mirarte! Mujer: ¿Por qué quieres mirar a la Sulamita bailando la danza de los dos campos?
You who are the perfect one, come back [to us], in order that we may see you! Why do you want to look at this woman who is perfect, like [SIM] you like to watch two rows/lines of people dancing?
