Mutuo encanto de los esposos
¿Adónde se ha ido tu amadoa,oh la más hermosa de las mujeresb?¿Adónde se ha dirigido tu amado,para que lo busquemos contigo?
LA ESPOSA:
2 Mi amado ha descendido a su huertoa,a las eras de bálsamo,a apacentar su rebañob en los huertosy recoger liriosc.3 Yo soy de mi amado y mi amado es mío,él apacienta entre los liriosa.
EL ESPOSO:
4 Eres hermosaa como Tirsab, amada1 mía,encantadorac como Jerusalénd,imponente como ejército con estandartes2e.5 Aparta de mí tus ojos,porque ellos me han confundido;tu cabellera es como rebaño de cabrasque descienden de Galaada.6 Tus dientes son como rebaño de ovejasque suben del lavadero,todas tienen mellizas,y ninguna de ellas ha perdido su cría1a.7 Tus mejillas1 son como mitades de granadadetrás de tu veloa.8 Sesenta son las reinas y ochenta las concubinasa,y las doncellas1b, sin número;9 pero sin igual1 es mi paloma, mi perfectaa,es la hija única de su madre,la preferida de la que la dio a luz.Las doncellas2 la vieron y la llamaron bienaventuradab,también las reinas y las concubinasc, y la alabaron, diciendo:
10 «¿Quién esesta que se asoma como el alba,hermosa como la lunaa llena,refulgente como el solb,imponente como escuadrones abanderadosc?».11 Descendí al huerto de los nogalespara ver el verdor1 del valle,para ver si la vid había retoñado,si los granadosa habían florecido.12 Sin que me diera cuenta, mi alma me colocósobre los carros de mi noble pueblo1.
EL CORO:
13 1Regresa, regresa, oh Sulamita;regresa, regresa, para que te contemplemos.EL ESPOSO:PPor qué habéis de contemplara a la Sulamita,como en la danzab de los dos coros2?
Mutual Delight in Each Other
aWhere has your beloved gone,O bmost beautiful among women?Where is your beloved hiding himself,That we may seek him with you?”
(The Shulammite Bride)
2 “My beloved has gone down to his agarden,To the bbeds of balsam,To cfeed his flock in the gardensAnd gather dlilies.3 aI am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,He who bfeeds his flock among the lilies.”
(The Bridegroom)
4 aYou are as beautiful as 1bTirzah, my darling,As clovely as dJerusalem,As emajestic as an army with banners!5 “Turn your flashing eyes away from me,For they have confused and overcome me;aYour hair is like the shimmering black fleece of a flock of Arabian goatsThat have descended from Mount Gilead.6 aYour bteeth are like a flock of ewesWhich have come up from their washing,All of which bear twins,And not one among them has lost her young.7 aYour temples are like a slice of the pomegranateBehind your veil.8 “There are sixty aqueens and eighty 1concubines,And bmaidens without number;9 But amy dove, my perfect one, stands alone above them all;She is her mother’s only daughter;She is the pure child of the one who bore her.The bmaidens saw her and called her blessed and happy,The cqueens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying, Col 2:8, 9
10 ‘Who is this that looks down like the dawn,Fair and beautiful as the full amoon,Clear and pure bas the sun,As cmajestic as an army with banners?’11 “I went down to the orchard of nut treesTo see the flowers of the valley,To see whether the agrapevine had buddedAnd the bpomegranates were in flower.12 “Before I was aware of what was happening, my desire had brought meInto the area of the princes of my people the king’s retinue.”
(The Chorus)
13 “Return, return, O Shulammite;Return, return, that we may gaze at you.”(The Bridegroom)Why should you gaze at the Shulammite,As at the adance of the btwo armies?
