Cantar de los Cantares 6
1 ¿Adónde se fue tu amado, oh la más hermosa entre las mujeres? ¿A Dónde se ha dirigido tu amado, para que podamos ir a buscarlo contigo? Ella.
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 a bajado a su jardín, a los lechos de especias, para pastorear a 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 Soy para mi ser amado, y mi ser amado es para mí; Él apacienta su rebaño 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, oh mi amor, como Tirsa, tan bella como Jerusalén; imponente como un ejército con banderas.
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 Vuelvan de mí mis ojos; Mira, me han vencido; tu cabello es como un rebaño de cabras que descansan 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 suben del lavadero; cada uno tiene mellizos, y no hay uno steril 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 Al igual que la fruta de granada son las sienes debajo de su velo.
Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Hay sesenta reinas, ochenta concubinas y doncellas 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 muy hermosa, no es más que una; Ella es la única de su madre, es la más querida de ella que dio a luz. Las hijas la vieron y le dieron una bendición; Sí, las reinas y las sirvientas, y le dieron 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 ella, mirando hacia abajo como la luz de la mañana, bella como la luna, clara como el sol, a quién se le debe temer como un ejército con banderas?
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 jardín de los nogales para ver las plantas verdes del valle y para ver si la vid estaba en capullos, y 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 Antes de que fuera consciente de ello, mi alma me puso sobre los carros de mi noble pueblo.
[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, oh Sulamita; vuelve, vuelve, para que nuestros ojos te vean. ¿Qué vas a ver en la Sulamita? Una danza, cómo en los campamentos.
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?
