Cantar de los Cantares 6
1 ¿Dónde ha ido tu amado, la más bella de las mujeres? ¿Dónde se ha vuelto tu amado, para que lo busquemos 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 amado ha bajado a su jardín, a los lechos de especias, para apacentar su rebaño en los jardines, y para recoger 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 amado, y mi amado es mío. Navega 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, mi amor, como Tirzah, encantadora como Jerusalén, impresionante como un ejército con estandartes.
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 Aparta tus ojos de mí, porque me han vencido. Tu pelo es como un rebaño de cabras, que se encuentran a lo largo del lado de 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 como un rebaño de ovejas, que han surgido del lavado, de los cuales cada uno tiene gemelos; ni uno solo está afligido entre ellos.
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 sienes son como un trozo de granada detrás de tu velo.
Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Hay sesenta reinas, ochenta concubinas, y vírgenes sin número.
Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
9 Mi paloma, mi perfecta, es única. Es la única hija de su madre. Es la favorita de quien la parió. Las hijas la vieron y la llamaron bendita. Las reinas y las concubinas la vieron y la alabaron.
[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 la que mira hacia fuera como la mañana, hermosa como la luna, claro como el sol, e impresionante como un ejército con estandartes?
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 bosquecillo de nogales, para ver las plantas verdes del valle, para ver si la vid brotó, y las granadas 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 Sin darse cuenta, mi deseo me puso con los carros de mi pueblo 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, Sulamita! Vuelve, vuelve, para que te contemplemos. Amante ¿Por qué deseas mirar a la Sulamita? como en el baile de Mahanaim?
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?
