2 (H7:3) Sinun povesi on ympyriäinen malja, josta sekoviini älköön puuttuko; sinun uumasi on nisukeko, liljojen ympäröimä.

3 Sinun rintasi ovat kuin kaksi nuorta peuraa, kuin gasellin kaksoiset.

4 Sinun kaulasi on kuin norsunluinen torni. Sinun silmäsi kuin Hesbonin lammikot Bat-Rabbimin portin luona; sinun nenäsi on kuin Libanonin torni, joka katsoo Damaskoon päin.

7 Sinun vartesi on kuin palmupuu, ja sinun rintasi niinkuin rypäleet.

8 Minä ajattelin: nousen palmupuuhun, tartun sen oksiin; olkoot silloin rintasi niinkuin viinirypäleet ja henkesi tuoksu kuin omenain tuoksu.

12 Käykäämme varhain viinitarhoihin katsomaan, joko viiniköynnös versoo ja ummut aukeavat, joko kukkivat granaattipuut. Siellä annan sinulle rakkauteni.

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 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. 3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins. 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 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries. 6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! 7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. 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 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 I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me. 11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. 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 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.
