1 I am a meadow flower of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
1 YO soy la rosa de Sarón, y el lirio de los valles.
2 As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the young women.
2 Como el lirio entre las espinas, así es mi amiga entre las doncellas.
3 As an apricot tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. I sit down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
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.
4 He brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me was love.
4 Llevóme á la cámara del vino, y su bandera sobre mí fué amor.
5 Revive me with raisin cakes and refresh me with apricots, for I am weak with love.
5 Sustentadme con frascos, corroboradme con manzanas; porque estoy enferma de amor.
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.
6 Su izquierda [esté] debajo de mi cabeza, y su derecha me abrace.
7 I want you to swear, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and the does of the fields, that you will not awaken or arouse love until she pleases.
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.
8 There is the sound of my beloved! Listen, here he comes, leaping over the mountains, jumping over the hills.
8 ¡La voz de mi amado! He aquí él viene saltando sobre los montes, brincando sobre los collados.
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag; look, he is standing behind our wall, gazing through the window, peering through the lattice.
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.
10 My beloved spoke to me and said, “Arise, my love; My beautiful one, come away with me.
10 Mi amado habló, y me dijo: Levántate, oh amiga mía, hermosa mía, y vente.
11 Look, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone.
11 Porque he aquí ha pasado el invierno, hase mudado, la lluvia se fué;
12 The flowers have appeared in the land; the time for pruning and the singing of birds has come, and the sound of the doves is 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;
13 The fig tree ripens her green figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give off their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
13 La higuera ha echado sus higos, y las vides en cierne dieron olor: levántate, oh amiga mía, hermosa mía, y vente.
14 My dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret clefts of the mountain crags, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.”
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.
15 Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that spoil vineyards, for our vineyard is in blossom.
15 Cazadnos las zorras, las zorras pequeñas, que echan á perder las viñas; pues que nuestras viñas están en cierne.
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his; he grazes among the lilies with pleasure.
16 Mi amado es mío, y yo suya; él apacienta entre lirios.
17 Go away, my beloved, before the soft winds of dawn blow and the shadows flee away. Go away; be like a gazelle or a young stag on the rugged mountains.
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.

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 …

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 …
