Alabanzas del esposo

Cuán¹ hermosa eres, amada² mía.Cuán³ hermosa eres.Tus ojos son como palomas^a detrás de tu velo^b;tu cabellera, como rebaño de cabrasque descienden del monte Galaad^c.2 Tus dientes son como rebaño de ovejas trasquiladasque suben del lavadero,todas tienen mellizas,y ninguna de ellas ha perdido su cría¹^a.3 Tus labios son como hilo de escarlata^a,y tu boca, encantadora.Tus mejillas¹, como mitades de granadadetrás de tu velo^b.4 Tu cuello, como la torre^a de Davidedificada con hileras de piedras¹^b;miles de escudos cuelgan de ella,todos escudos de los valientes^c.5 Tus dos pechos, como dos críasmellizas de gacela^a,que pacen entre lirios^b.6 Hasta que sople la brisa del díay huyan las sombras^a,me iré al monte de la mirray al collado del incienso^b.

7 Toda tú eres hermosa, amada mía,y no hay defecto en ti^a.8 Ven conmigo desde el Líbano, esposa mía^a,ven conmigo desde el Líbano^b.Baja¹ desde la cumbre del Amaná^c,desde la cumbre del Senir y del Hermón^d,desde las guaridas de leones,desde los montes de leopardos.9 Has cautivado mi corazón, hermana mía, esposa mía^a;has cautivado mi corazón con una sola mirada de tus ojos,con una sola hebra de tu collar^b.10 ¡Cuán hermosos^a son tus amores, hermana mía, esposa mía!¡Cuánto mejores tus amores que el vino^b,y la fragancia de tus ungüentos^cque todos los bálsamos!11 Miel virgen^a destilan tus labios, esposa mía,miel^b y leche hay debajo de tu lengua,y la fragancia de tus vestidos es como la fragancia del Líbano^c.12 Huerto cerrado eres, hermana mía, esposa mía,huerto¹ cerrado, fuente^a sellada^b.13 Tus renuevos son paraíso¹^a de granados^b,con frutas escogidas^c, alheña^d y² nardos,14 nardo^a y azafrán, cálamo aromático y canela^b,con todos los árboles de incienso,mirra^c y áloes^d, con todos los mejores bálsamos.15 Tú eres fuente de huertos,pozo de aguas vivas^a,y corrientes que fluyen del Líbano.

LA ESPOSA:

16 Despierta, viento del norte¹,y ven, viento del sur²;haced que mi huerto exhale fragancia^a,que se esparzan³ sus aromas⁴.Entre mi amado en su huerto^by coma sus mejores frutas^c.

Solomon’s Love Expressed

“How fair and beautiful ^ayou are, my darling,How very beautiful!Your ^beyes ^cbehind your veil are like those of a dove;Your ^dhair is like the shimmering black fleece of a flock of Arabian goatsThat have descended from Mount ^eGilead beyond the Jordan.2 “Your ^ateeth are like a flock of newly shorn ewesWhich have come up from washing,All of which bear twins,And not one among them has lost her young.3 “Your lips are like a ribbon of ^ascarlet,And your ^bmouth is lovely.Your ^ctemples are like a slice of the pomegranateBehind your veil.4 “Your ^aneck is like the tower of David,Built with rows of glistening stones,Whereon ^bhang a thousand shields,All of them ^cshields of warriors.5 “Your ^atwo breasts are like two fawns,Twins of a gazelleWhich ^bfeed among the lilies.6 “^aUntil the day breaksAnd the shadows flee away,In my thoughts I will go my way to the mountain of ^bmyrrhAnd to the hill of ^cfrankincense.

7 “^aO my love, you are altogether beautiful and fair.There is no flaw nor blemish in you! John 14:18; Eph 5:278 “Come away with me from ^aLebanon, my promised ^bbride,May you come with me from Lebanon.Journey down from the top of ^cAmana,From the summit of ^dSenir and Hermon,From the dens of lions,From the mountains of leopards. 2+@Cor 11:2, 39 “You have ravished my heart and given me courage, ^amy sister, my promised bride;You have ravished my heart and given me courage with a single glance of your eyes,With one jewel of your ^bnecklace.10 “^aHow beautiful is your love, my sister, my promised bride!How much ^bbetter is your love than wine,And the ^cfragrance of your oilsThan all kinds of balsam and spices. John 15:9; Rom 8:3511 “Your lips, my promised bride, ^adrip ^bhoney as the honeycomb;Honey and milk are under your tongue,And the fragrance of your garments is like the ^cfragrance of Lebanon.12 “A garden enclosed is my sister, my promised bride—A rock garden locked, a ^aspring ^bsealed up.13 “Your shoots are an ^aorchard of ^bpomegranates,A paradise with ^cprecious fruits, ^dhenna with fragrant plants, John 15:5; Eph 5:914 ^aFragrant plants and saffron, calamus and ^bcinnamon,With all trees of ^cfrankincense,^dMyrrh and aloes, along with all the finest spices.15 “You are a fountain in a garden,A well of ^afresh and living water,And streams flowing from Lebanon.” John 4:10; 7:37, 38

(The Shulammite Bride)

16 “Awake, O north wind,And come, south wind blow softly upon my ^agarden;Make my garden breathe out fragrance, for the one in whom my soul delights,Let its spices flow forth.Let ^bmy beloved come into his gardenAnd eat its ^cchoicest fruits.”
