Canticle of Canticles 7

King James Bible	Nova Vulgata
¹ How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.	¹ Convertere, convertere, Sula mitis; convertere, convertere, ut intueamur te. Quid aspicitis in Sulamitem, cum saltat inter binos choros?
² Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.	² Quam pulchri sunt pedes tui in calceamentis, filia principis! Flexurae femorum tuorum sicut monilia, quae fabricata sunt manu artificis.
³ Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.	³ Gremium tuum crater tornatilis: numquam indigeat vino mixto; venter tuus sicut acervus tritici vallatus liliis.
⁴ Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.	⁴ Duo ubera tua sicut duo hinnuli, gemelli capreae,
⁵ Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.	⁵ collum tuum sicut turris eburnea. Oculi tui sicut piscinae in Hesebon, quae sunt ad portam Bathrabbim; nasus tuus sicut turris Libani, quae respicit contra Damascum.
⁶ How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!	⁶ Caput tuum ut Carmelus, et comae capitis tui sicut purpura; rex vincitur cincinnis.
⁷ This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.	⁷ Quam pulchra es et quam decora, carissima, in deliciis!
⁸ I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;	⁸ Statura tua assimilata est palmae, et ubera tua botris.
⁹ And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.	⁹ Dixi: “ Ascendam in palmam et apprehendam fructus eius ”. Et erunt ubera tua sicut botri vineae, et odor oris tui sicut malorum.
¹⁰ I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.	¹⁰ Guttur tuum sicut vinum optimum, dignum dilecto meo ad potandum, labiisque et dentibus illius ad ruminandum.
¹¹ Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.	¹¹ Ego dilecto meo, et ad me appetitus eius.
¹² Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.	¹² Veni, dilecte mi, egrediamur in agrum, commoremur in villis;
¹³ The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.	¹³ mane properabimus ad vineas, videbimus; si floruit vinea, si flores aperiuntur, si floruerunt mala punica; ibi dabo tibi amores meos.
	¹⁴ Mandragorae dederunt odorem; in portis nostris omnia poma optima, nova et vetera, dilecte mi, servavi tibi.
