1 Dođoh u vrt svoj, sestro moja nevesto, berem smirnu svoju i mirise svoje, jedem saće svoje i med svoj, pijem vino svoje i mleko svoje; jedite, prijatelji, pijte, i opijte se, mili moji!
1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
2 Ja spavam, a srce je moje budno; eto glasa dragog mog, koji kuca: Otvori mi, sestro moja, draga moja, golubice moja, bezazlena moja; jer je glava moja puna rose i kosa moja noćnih kapi.
2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3 Svukla sam haljinu svoju, kako ću je obući? Oprala sam noge svoje, kako ću ih kaljati?
3 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
4 Dragi moj promoli ruku svoju kroz rupu, a šta je u meni ustrepta od njega.
4 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.
5 Ja ustah da otvorim dragom svom, a s ruku mojih prokapa smirna, i niz prste moje poteče smirna na držak od brave.
5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
6 Otvorih dragom svom, ali dragog mog ne beše, otide. Bejah izvan sebe kad on progovori. Tražih ga, ali ga ne nađoh; vikah ga, ali mi se ne odazva.
6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.
7 Nađoše me stražari, koji obilaze po gradu, biše me, raniše me, uzeše preves moj s mene stražari po zidovima.
7 The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
8 Zaklinjem vas, kćeri jerusalimske, ako nađete dragog mog, šta ćete mu kazati? Da sam bolna od ljubavi.
8 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love.
9 Šta je tvoj dragi bolji od drugih dragih, o najlepša među ženama? Šta je tvoj dragi bolji od drugih dragih, te nas tako zaklinješ?
9 How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?
10 Dragi je moj beo i rumen, zastavnik između deset hiljada;
10 My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
11 Glava mu je najbolje zlato, kosa mu je kudrava, crna kao gavran;
11 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
12 Oči su mu kao u goluba na potocima vodenim, mlekom umivene, i stoje u obilju;
12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
13 Obrazi su mu kao lehe mirisnog bilja, kao cveće mirisno; usne su mu kao ljiljan, s njih kaplje smirna žitka;
13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
14 Na rukama su mu zlatni prsteni, na kojima su ukovani virili; trbuh mu je kao svetla slonova kost obložena safirima.
14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
15 Gnjati su mu kao stupovi od mramora, uglavljeni na zlatnom podnožju; stas mu je Livan, krasan kao kedri.
15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 Usta su mu slatka i sav je ljubak. Takav je moj dragi, takav je moj mili, kćeri jerusalimske.
16 His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
17 Kuda otide dragi tvoj, najlepša među ženama? Kuda zamače dragi tvoj, da ga tražimo s tobom?

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 into My garden, My sister, My spouse; (now in the place where He was crucified was a garden;) and what takest Thou thence?

Filled with these thoughts may you, even in sleep, enjoy the pleasure of the day, so that you may be permitted to say, "I sleep but my heart waketh," meditating day and night upon the law of the Lord, to Whom be glory and power world without end.

… begotten, and for forgiveness of sins; even as it was emblematically foretold that Christ should be thus manifested in the appearance of His eyes; for in the Canticles she cries concerning the Bridegroom, and says, Thine eyes are as doves by the rivers of water.
