Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 O, da si mi brat, da si sisao prsa majke moje, našla bih te vani, poljubila bih te i nitko me zato ne bi prezirao.	1 Ah, why are you not my brother, nursed at my mother's breast! Then if I met you out of doors, I couldkiss you without people thinking il of me.
2 Povela bih te i uvela u kuću majke svoje koja me odgojila, pojila bih te najboljim vinom i sokom od mogranja.	2 I should lead you, I should take you into my mother's house, and you would teach me! I should give youspiced wine to drink, juice of my pomegranates.
3 Njegova mi je lijeva ruka pod glavom, a desnom me grli.	3 His left arm is under my head and his right embraces me.
4 Zaklinjem vas, kćeri jeruzalemske, ne budite, ne budite ljubav moju, dok sama ne bude htjela!	4 LOVER: I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, do not rouse, do not wake my beloved, before shepleases!
5 Tko je ta što dolazi iz pustinje, naslonjena na dragoga svoga? Probudio sam te pod jabukom gdje te mati rodila, gdje te na svijet dala roditeljka tvoja.	5 Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover? I awakened you under the apple tree, whereyour mother conceived you, where she who bore you conceived you.
6 Stavi me kao znak na srce, kao pečat na ruku svoju, jer ljubav je jaka kao smrt, a ljubomora tvrda kao grob. Žar je njezin žar vatre i plamena Jahvina.	6 BELOVED: Set me like a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is strong as Death,passion as relentless as Sheol. The flash of it is a flash of fire, a flame of Yahweh himself.
7 Mnoge vode ne mogu ugasiti ljubav niti je rijeke potopiti. Da netko daje za ljubav sve što u kući ima, taj bi navukao prezir na sebe.	7 Love no flood can quench, no torrents drown. Were a man to offer all his family wealth to buy love,contempt is al that he would gain.
8 Imamo malu sestru koja još nema grudi, što ćemo činiti sa svojom sestrom kad bude riječ o njoj?	8 Our sister is little: her breasts are not yet formed. What shal we do for our sister on the day she isspoken for?
9 Ako bude poput zida, sagradit ćemo na njemu krunište od srebra; ako bude poput vratâ, utvrdit ćemo ih cedrovim daskama.	9 If she is a rampart, on the crest we shal build a battlement of silver; if she is a door, we shal board herup with planks of cedar.
10 Ja sam zid i grudi su moje kule: tako postadoh u očima njegovim kao ona što nađe smirenje.	10 I am a wal , and my breasts represent its towers. And under their eyes I have found true peace.
11 Salomon ima vinograd u Baal Hamonu, dao ga je čuvarima i svaki mora donijeti za urod tisuću srebrnjaka.	11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon. He entrusted it to overseers, and each one was to pay himthe value of its produce, a thousand shekels of silver.
12 Moj vinograd je preda mnom: tebi, Salomone, tisuća, a dvjesta onima što čuvaju plodove.	12 But I tend my own vineyard myself. You, Solomon, may have your thousand shekels, and those whooversee its produce their two hundred.
13 O ti, koja boraviš u vrtovima, drugovi slušaju glas tvoj, daj da ga i ja čujem!	13 You who dwel in the gardens, my companions listen for your voice; let me hear it.
14 Pohitaj, mili moj, budi kao srna i kao jelenče na gorama mirisnim!	14 Haste away, my love, be like a gazel e, a young stag, on the spice-laden mountains.
