KJ3 Literal Translation
Song of Solomon 2
The mutual love between the King and his beloved. His cure for His beloved. The beloved professes her faith and hope.
1I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2As a lily among thorns, so is My love among the daughters.
3As the apple among the trees of the forest, so is my Beloved among the sons. I delighted in His shadow, and I sat down; and His fruit was sweet to my palate.
4He brought me to the house of wine, and His banner over me was love.
5Support me with raisin cakes, refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.
6His left hand is under my head, and His right hand embraces me.
7I adjure you by the gazelles, or by the does of the field, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, and that you not awaken my Love until it pleases.
8The voice of my Beloved! Behold this, He comes leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
9My Beloved is likened to a gazelle, or to a young deer, the stag. Behold, He stands behind our wall, peering from the windows, sparkling from the lattice.
10My Beloved answered and said to me, rise up yourself, My love, My beautiful one, and yourself come away.
11For, behold, the winter has passed, the rain has passed, it goes to itself.
12The flowers are seen on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13The fig tree spices her unripe figs, and the vines give a fragrance by the blossom. Arise, My love; come, My beautiful one, and come yourself.
14My dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secrecy of the steep place, let Me see your form. Let Me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your form is beautiful.
15Take for us the foxes, the little foxes spoiling the vineyards, even our vineyards with blossoms.
16My Beloved is to me, and I am to Him; He feeds among the lilies.
17Until when does the day blow, and the shadows flee away? Turn, my Beloved, and be like a gazelle, or a young deer, the stag, on the cleft mountains.
