LXXUP Updated Brenton English Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Whither is thy kinsman gone, Thou beautiful among women? Whither has thy kinsman turned aside? [Tell us], and we will seek him with thee.
1 ¿DÓNDE se ha ido tu amado, oh la más hermosa de todas las mujeres? ¿Adónde se apartó tu amado, y le buscaremos contigo?
2 My kinsman is gone down to his garden, to the beds of spice, To feed [his flock] in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
2 Mi amado descendió á su huerto, á las eras de los aromas, para apacentar en los huertos, y para coger los lirios.
3 I am my kinsman’s, and my kinsman is mine, Who feeds among the lilies.
3 Yo soy de mi amado, y mi amado es mío: él apacienta entre los lirios.
4 Thou art fair, my companion, as Pleasure, Beautiful as Jerusalem, Terrible as [armies] set in array.
4 Hermosa eres tú, oh amiga mía, como Tirsa; de desear, como Jerusalem; imponente como ejércitos en orden.
5 Turn away thine eyes from before me, For they have ravished me: Thy hair is as flocks of goats Which have appeared from Gilead.
5 Aparta tus ojos de delante de mí, porque ellos me vencieron. Tu cabello es como manada de cabras, que se muestran en Galaad.
6 Thy teeth are as flocks of shorn [sheep], That have gone up from the washing, All of them bearing twins, And there is none barren among them: Thy lips are as a thread of scarlet, And thy speech is comely.
6 Tus dientes, como manada de ovejas que suben del lavadero, todas con crías mellizas, y estéril no hay entre ellas.
7 Thy cheek is like the rind of a pomegranate, [Being seen] without thy veil.
7 Como cachos de granada son tus sienes entre tus guedejas.
8 There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, And maidens without number.
8 Sesenta son las reinas, y ochenta las concubinas, y las doncellas sin cuento:
9 My dove, my perfect one is one; She is the [only] one of her mother; She is the choice of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and the queens will pronounce her blessed, Yea, and the concubines, and they will praise her.
9 [Mas] una es la paloma mía, la perfecta mía; única es á su madre, escogida á la que la engendró. Viéronla las doncellas, y llamáronla bienaventurada; las reinas y las concubinas, y la alabaron.
10 Who is this that looks forth as the morning, Fair as the moon, choice as the sun, Terrible as [armies] set in array?
10 ¿Quién es ésta que se muestra como el alba, hermosa como la luna, esclarecida como el sol, imponente como ejércitos en orden?
11 I went down to the garden of nuts, To look at the fruits of the valley, To see if the vine flowered, [If] the pomegranates blossomed.
11 Al huerto de los nogales descendí á ver los frutos del valle, [y] para ver si brotaban las vides, si florecían los granados.
12 There I will give thee my breasts: My soul knew [it] not: It made me as the chariots of Amminadab.
12 No lo supe: hame mi alma hecho [como] los carros de Amminadab. 13 Tórnate, tórnate, oh Sulamita; tórnate, tórnate, y te miraremos. ¿Qué veréis en la Sulamita? Como la reunión de dos campamentos.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    I am come who feed My sheep among the lilies, I am come to feed them in the gardens.
