1 που απηλθεν ο αδελφιδος σου η καλη εν γυναιξιν που απεβλεψεν ο αδελφιδος σου και ζητησομεν αυτον μετα σου | 1 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee. |
2 αδελφιδος μου κατεβη εις κηπον αυτου εις φιαλας του αρωματος ποιμαινειν εν κηποις και συλλεγειν κρινα | 2 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. |
3 εγω τω αδελφιδω μου και αδελφιδος μου εμοι ο ποιμαινων εν τοις κρινοις | 3 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. |
4 καλη ει η πλησιον μου ως ευδοκια ωραια ως ιερουσαλημ θαμβος ως τεταγμεναι | 4 Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners. |
5 αποστρεψον οφθαλμους σου απεναντιον μου οτι αυτοι ανεπτερωσαν με τριχωμα σου ως αγελαι των αιγων αι ανεφανησαν απο του γαλααδ | 5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead. |
6 οδοντες σου ως αγελαι των κεκαρμενων αι ανεβησαν απο του λουτρου αι πασαι διδυμευουσαι και ατεκνουσα ουκ εστιν εν αυταις | 6 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them. |
7 ως σπαρτιον το κοκκινον χειλη σου και η λαλια σου ωραια ως λεπυρον της ροας μηλον σου εκτος της σιωπησεως σου | 7 As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks. |
8 εξηκοντα εισιν βασιλισσαι και ογδοηκοντα παλλακαι και νεανιδες ων ουκ εστιν αριθμος | 8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number. |
9 μια εστιν περιστερα μου τελεια μου μια εστιν τη μητρι αυτης εκλεκτη εστιν τη τεκουση αυτης ειδοσαν αυτην θυγατερες και μακαριουσιν αυτην βασιλισσαι και παλλακαι και αινεσουσιν αυτην | 9 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. |
10 τις αυτη η εκκυπτουσα ωσει ορθρος καλη ως σεληνη εκλεκτη ως ο ηλιος θαμβος ως τεταγμεναι | 10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? |
11 εις κηπον καρυας κατεβην ιδειν εν γενημασιν του χειμαρρου ιδειν ει ηνθησεν η αμπελος εξηνθησαν αι ροαι εκει δωσω τους μαστους μου σοι | 11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded. |
12 ουκ εγνω η ψυχη μου εθετο με αρματα αμιναδαβ | 12 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib. |
| 13 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies. |
