2:1 | I [am] the rose <02261> of Sharon <08289>, [and] the lily <07799> of the valleys <06010>. |
2:2 | As the lily <07799> among thorns <02336>, so [is] my love <07474> among the daughters <01323>. |
2:3 | As the apple tree <08598> among the trees <06086> of the wood <03293>, so [is] my beloved <01730> among the sons <01121>. I sat <03427> (8804) down under his shadow <06738> with great delight <02530> (8765), and his fruit <06529> [was] sweet <04966> to my taste <02441>. {I sat...: Heb. I delighted and sat down, etc} {taste: Heb. palate} |
2:4 | He brought <0935> (8689) me to the banqueting <03196> house <01004>, and his banner <01714> over me [was] love <0160>. {banqueting...: Heb. house of wine} |
2:5 | Stay <05564> (8761) me with flagons <0809>, comfort <07502> (8761) me with apples <08598>: for I [am] sick <02470> (8802) of love <0160>. {comfort...: Heb. straw me with apples} |
2:6 | His left hand <08040> [is] under my head <07218>, and his right hand <03225> doth embrace <02263> (8762) me. |
2:7 | I charge <07650> (8689) you, O ye daughters <01323> of Jerusalem <03389>, by the roes <06643>, and <0176> by the hinds <0355> of the field <07704>, that ye stir not up <05782> (8686), nor awake <05782> (8787) [my] love <0160>, till he please <02654> (8799). {I charge...: Heb. I adjure you} |
2:8 | The voice <06963> of my beloved <01730>! behold, he cometh <0935> (8802) leaping <01801> (8764) upon the mountains <02022>, skipping <07092> (8764) upon the hills <01389>. |
2:9 | My beloved <01730> is like <01819> (8802) a roe <06643> or a young <06082> hart <0354>: behold, he standeth <05975> (8802) behind <0310> our wall <03796>, he looketh forth <07688> (8688) at the windows <02474>, shewing <06692> (8688) himself through the lattice <02762>. {shewing...: Heb. flourishing} |
2:10 | My beloved <01730> spake <06030> (8804), and said <0559> (8804) unto me, Rise up <06965> (8798), my love <07474>, my fair one <03303>, and come away <03212> (8798). |
2:11 | For, lo, the winter <05638> is past <05674> (8804), the rain <01653> is over <02498> (8804) [and] gone <01980> (8804); |
2:12 | The flowers <05339> appear <07200> (8738) on the earth <0776>; the time <06256> of the singing <02158> [of birds] is come <05060> (8689), and the voice <06963> of the turtle <08449> is heard <08085> (8738) in our land <0776>; |
2:13 | The fig tree <08384> putteth forth <02590> (8804) her green figs <06291>, and the vines <01612> [with] the tender grape <05563> give <05414> (8804) a [good] smell <07381>. Arise <06965> (8798), my love <07474>, my fair one <03303>, and come away <03212> (8798). |
2:14 | O my dove <03123>, [that art] in the clefts <02288> of the rock <05553>, in the secret <05643> [places] of the stairs <04095>, let me see <07200> (8685) thy countenance <04758>, let me hear <08085> (8685) thy voice <06963>; for sweet <06156> [is] thy voice <06963>, and thy countenance <04758> [is] comely <05000>. |
2:15 | Take <0270> (8798) us the foxes <07776>, the little <06996> foxes <07776>, that spoil <02254> (8764) the vines <03754>: for our vines <03754> [have] tender grapes <05563>. |
2:16 | My beloved <01730> [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth <07462> (8802) among the lilies <07799>. |
2:17 | Until the day <03117> break <06315> (8799), and the shadows <06752> flee away <05127> (8804), turn <05437> (8798), my beloved <01730>, and be thou like <01819> (8798) a roe <06643> or a young <06082> hart <0354> upon the mountains <02022> of Bether <01336>. {of Bether: or, of division} |
