Awit ng mga Awit 5
1 Ako'y dumating sa aking halamanan, kapatid ko, kasintahan ko: aking dinampot ang aking mira pati ang aking especia; aking kinain ang aking pulotpukyutan pati ang aking pulot; aking ininom ang aking alak pati ang aking gatas. Magsikain kayo, Oh mga kaibigan; magsiinom kayo, oo, magsiinom kayo ng sagana, Oh sinisinta.
My bride, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, I have come [to cuddle up to you] [MET, EUP]; [it will be as though] I will be gathering myrrh with my other spices, and eating my honey and my honeycomb, and drinking my wine and my milk. You two who love each other, enjoy your lovemaking; enjoy all that you want to.
2 Ako'y nakatulog, nguni't ang aking puso ay gising: ang tinig ng aking sinta ang siyang tumutuktok, na kaniyang sinasabi, pagbuksan mo ako, kapatid ko, sinta ko, kalapati ko, sakdal ko: sapagka't ang aking ulo ay basa ng hamog, ang aking mga kulot na buhok ay ng mga patak ng gabi.
I was partially asleep, but my mind was [still] awake. Then I heard the one who loves me knocking [at the door]. [He said], “My darling, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, my dear friend, my perfect one, my dove [MET], open the door for me! My hair is wet from the dew, from the mist [that has fallen during] the night.”
3 Aking hinubad ang aking suot; paanong aking isusuot? Aking hinugasan ang aking mga paa paanong sila'y aking dudumhan?
[But] I had already taken off my robe; I did not [RHQ] want to put it on again [to open the door]. I had [already] washed my feet; I did not [RHQ] want them to become dirty again.
4 Isinuot ng aking sinta ang kaniyang kamay sa butas ng pintuan, at nakilos ang aking puso sa kaniya.
The one who loves me put his hand through the opening [in the wall], and I was thrilled [that he was there].
5 Ako'y bumangon upang pagbuksan ang aking sinta; at ang aking mga kamay ay tutulo ng mira, at ang aking mga daliri ng malabnaw na mira. Sa mga tatangnan ng trangka.
I got up to open [the door] for the one who loves me, [but first I put a lot of] myrrh on my hands. The myrrh was dripping from my fingers while I unlatched the bolt.
6 Aking pinagbuksan ang aking sinta: nguni't ang aking sinta ay umurong at nakaalis, napanglupaypay na ako ng aking kaluluwa nang siya'y magsalita: aking hinanap siya, nguni't hindi ko nasumpungan siya; aking tinawag siya, nguni't hindi siya sumagot sa akin.
I opened [the door] for the man who loves me, but he had left. He had turned away and was gone! I was very disappointed [IDM]; I searched for him, but I could not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.

The city watchmen saw me while they were walking around the city. They beat me and wounded me [because they thought I must be a prostitute]; those men who were guarding the city walls took my robe.

You young women of Jerusalem, I plead with you, if you see the man who loves me, tell him [DOU] that I am very disappointed that we did not make love.
9 Ano ang iyong sinta na higit kay sa ibang sinta, Oh ikaw na pinakamaganda sa mga babae? Ano ang iyong sinta na higit kay sa ibang sinta, na iyong ibinibilin sa amin ng ganyan?
You who are the (fairest/most beautiful) among women, why [do you think that] the one who loves you is better than other men? In what way is the man who loves you better than other men with the result that you ask us to tell him that?
