Cantico 7

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Convertere, convertere, Sula mitis; convertere, convertere, ut intueamur te. Quid aspicitis in Sulamitem, cum saltat inter binos choros?	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.
2 Quam pulchri sunt pedes tui in calceamentis, filia principis! Flexurae femorum tuorum sicut monilia, quae fabricata sunt manu artificis.	2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3 Gremium tuum crater tornatilis: numquam indigeat vino mixto; venter tuus sicut acervus tritici vallatus liliis.	3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4 Duo ubera tua sicut duo hinnuli, gemelli capreae,	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.
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.	5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
6 Caput tuum ut Carmelus, et comae capitis tui sicut purpura; rex vincitur cincinnis.	6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7 Quam pulchra es et quam decora, carissima, in deliciis!	7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
8 Statura tua assimilata est palmae, et ubera tua botris.	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;
9 Dixi: “ Ascendam in palmam et apprehendam fructus eius ”. Et erunt ubera tua sicut botri vineae, et odor oris tui sicut malorum.	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.
10 Guttur tuum sicut vinum optimum, dignum dilecto meo ad potandum, labiisque et dentibus illius ad ruminandum.	10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
11 Ego dilecto meo, et ad me appetitus eius.	11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12 Veni, dilecte mi, egrediamur in agrum, commoremur in villis;	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.
13 mane properabimus ad vineas, videbimus; si floruit vinea, si flores aperiuntur, si floruerunt mala punica; ibi dabo tibi amores meos.	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.
14 Mandragorae dederunt odorem; in portis nostris omnia poma optima, nova et vetera, dilecte mi, servavi tibi.
