Brenton Brenton's English Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 I am a flower of the plain, a lily of the valleys.
1 YO soy la rosa de Sarón, y el lirio de los valles.
1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 As a lily among thorns, so is my companion among the daughters.
2 Como el lirio entre las espinas, así es mi amiga entre las doncellas.
2 As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3 As the apple among the trees of the wood, so is my kinsman among the sons. I desired his shadow, and sat down, and his fruit was sweet in my throat.
3 Como el manzano entre los árboles silvestres, así es mi amado entre los mancebos: bajo la sombra del deseado me senté, y su fruto fué dulce á mi paladar.
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 Bring me into the wine house; set love before me.
4 Llevóme á la cámara del vino, y su bandera sobre mí fué amor.
4 He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner over me is love.
5 Strengthen me with perfumes, stay me with apples: for I [am] wounded with love.
5 Sustentadme con frascos, corroboradme con manzanas; porque estoy enferma de amor.
5 Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love.
6 His left [hand shall be] under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
6 Su izquierda [esté] debajo de mi cabeza, y su derecha me abrace.
6 His left hand is under my head. His right hand embraces me.
7 I have charged you, ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and by the virtues of the field, that ye do not rouse or wake [my] love, until he please.
7 Yo os conjuro, oh doncellas de Jerusalem, por las gamas y por las ciervas del campo, que no despertéis ni hagáis velar al amor, hasta que quiera.
7 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
8 The voice of my kinsman! behold, he comes leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills.
8 ¡La voz de mi amado! He aquí él viene saltando sobre los montes, brincando sobre los collados.
8 The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
9 My kinsman is like a roe or a young hart on the mountains of Bæthel: behold, he is behind our wall, looking through the windows, peeping through the lattices.
9 Mi amado es semejante al gamo, ó al cabrito de los ciervos. Helo aquí, está tras nuestra pared, mirando por las ventanas, mostrándose por las rejas.
9 My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.
10 My kinsman answers, and says to me, Rise up, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove.
10 Mi amado habló, y me dijo: Levántate, oh amiga mía, hermosa mía, y vente.
10 My beloved spoke, and said to me, “Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
11 For, behold, the winter is past, the rain is gone, it has departed.
11 Porque he aquí ha pasado el invierno, hase mudado, la lluvia se fué;
11 For behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers are seen in the land; the time of pruning has arrived; the voice of the turtle-dove has been heard in our land.
12 Hanse mostrado las flores en la tierra, el tiempo de la canción es venido, y en nuestro país se ha oído la voz de la tórtola;
12 The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13 The fig-tree has put forth its young figs, the vines put forth the tender grape, they yield a smell: arise, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove; yea, come.
13 La higuera ha echado sus higos, y las vides en cierne dieron olor: levántate, oh amiga mía, hermosa mía, y vente.
13 The fig tree ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom. They give out their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.”
14 [Thou art] my dove, in the shelter of the rock, near the wall: shew me thy face, and cause me to hear thy voice; for thy voice is sweet, and thy countenance is beautiful.
14 Paloma mía, que estás en los agujeros de la peña, en lo escondido de escarpados parajes, muéstrame tu rostro, hazme oir tu voz; porque dulce es la voz tuya, y hermoso tu aspecto.
14 My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountainside, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.
15 Take us the little foxes that spoil the vines: for our vines put forth tender grapes.
15 Cazadnos las zorras, las zorras pequeñas, que echan á perder las viñas; pues que nuestras viñas están en cierne.
15 Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that plunder the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.
16 My kinsman is mine, and I am his: he feeds [his flock] among the lilies.
16 Mi amado es mío, y yo suya; él apacienta entre lirios.
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies.
17 Until the day dawn, and the shadows depart, turn, my kinsman, be thou like to a roe or young hart on the mountains of the ravines.
17 Hasta que apunte el día, y huyan las sombras, tórnate, amado mío; sé semejante al gamo, ó al cabrito de los ciervos, sobre los montes de Bether.
17 Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.

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).

"Hope thou in the Lord." In the morning I shall stand in Thy presence, and …

    … us in the dark image of the clouds, and through the glass of the heavens, not as it is; because we also, although we be the well-beloved of Thy Son, yet it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. He looketh through the lattice of our flesh, and He is fair-speaking, and hath inflamed us, and we run after …

  4. Quotes verse 2:4 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm VII)

    For by what other arrows was she stricken, who saith, "Bring me into the house of wine, place me among perfumes, crowd me among honey, for I have been wounded with love"? By what other arrows is he kindled, who, desirous of returning to God, and coming back from wandering, asketh for help against crafty tongues, and to whom it …
