KJ3 Literal Translation
Song of Solomon 6
I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine. The graces of His beloved.
1Where has your Beloved gone, most beautiful among women? Where has your Beloved turned? For we seek Him along with you.
2My Beloved has gone down to His garden, to the garden-bed of spices, to feed in the gardens and to gather lilies.
3I am to my Beloved, and my Beloved is to me; He feeds among the lilies.
4O My love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah, as comely as Jerusalem, awesome as bannered armies.
5Turn away your eyes from Me, because they are disturbing to Me. Your hair is like a flock of goats which recline from Gilead.
6Your teeth are like a flock of ewes which come up from the washing place, of which they all are giving birth, bearing twins, and bereavement is not among them.
7Your temples from behind your veil are like a piece of pomegranate.
8Sixty of them are queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.
9But My dove, My perfect one is one alone. She is the only one to her mother; she is pure to the one who bore her. The daughters saw her and called her blessed; the queens and the concubines saw her, and they praised her.
10Who is she who looks down like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, pure as the sun, awesome as bannered armies?
11I went down to the garden of nut trees, to see the greenery of the ravine, to see whether the vine flowered and the pomegranates budded.
12I did not know, but My soul set Me on the chariots of My princely people.
13Return, return, O Shulamite! Return, return, that we may gaze upon you. What will you see in the Shulamite? As it were the dance of two army camps.
