Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Την νύκτα επί της κλίνης μου εζήτησα εκείνον, τον οποίον αγαπά η ψυχή μου· εζήτησα αυτόν και δεν εύρηκα αυτόν.
1 By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.
2 Θέλω σηκωθή τώρα και περιέλθει την πόλιν, εν ταις αγοραίς και εν ταις πλατείαις· θέλω ζητήσει εκείνον, τον οποίον αγαπά η ψυχή μου· εζήτησα αυτόν και δεν εύρηκα αυτόν.
2 I will get up now, and go about the city; in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.
3 Με εύρηκαν οι φύλακες οι περιερχόμενοι την πόλιν. Μη είδετε εκείνον, τον οποίον αγαπά η ψυχή μου;
3 The watchmen who go about the city found me; “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
4 Αφού ολίγον επέρασα απ' αυτών, εύρηκα εκείνον, τον οποίον αγαπά η ψυχή μου· επίασα αυτόν και δεν αφήκα αυτόν, εωσού εισήγαγον αυτόν εις τον οίκον της μητρός μου, και εις τον κοιτώνα της συλλαβούσης με.
4 I had scarcely passed from them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, into the room of her who conceived me.
5 Σας ορκίζω, θυγατέρες Ιερουσαλήμ, εις τας δορκάδας και εις τας ελάφους του αγρού, να μη εξεγείρητε μηδέ να εξυπνήσητε την αγάπην μου, εωσού θελήση.
5 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.
6 Τις αύτη, η αναβαίνουσα από της ερήμου ως στύλοι καπνού, τεθυμιαμένη με σμύρναν και λίβανον, με πάσαν αρωματικήν σκόνην του μυρεψού;
6 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all spices of the merchant?
7 Ιδού, η κλίνη του Σολομώντος· εξήκοντα δυνατοί άνδρες είναι περί αυτήν, εκ των δυνατών του Ισραήλ·
7 Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage! Sixty mighty men are around it, of the mighty men of Israel.
8 Πάντες ούτοι κρατούσι ρομφαίαν, δεδιδαγμένοι πόλεμον· έκαστος έχει την ρομφαίαν αυτού επί τον μηρόν αυτού διά νυκτερινούς φόβους.
8 They all handle the sword, and are expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh, because of fear in the night.
9 Ο βασιλεύς Σολομών έκαμεν εις εαυτόν φορείον εκ ξύλων του Λιβάνου·
9 King Solomon made himself a carriage of the wood of Lebanon.
10 τους στύλους αυτού έκαμεν εξ αργύρου, το ανακλιντήριον αυτού εκ χρυσού, την στρωμνήν αυτού εκ πορφύρας· το μέσον αυτού ήτο εγκεκοσμημένον ερασμίως υπό των θυγατέρων της Ιερουσαλήμ.
10 He made its pillars of silver, its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, the middle of it being paved with love, from the daughters of Jerusalem.
11 Εξέλθετε και ιδέτε, θυγατέρες Σιών, τον βασιλέα Σολομώντα εν τω διαδήματι, με το οποίον έστειλεν αυτόν η μήτηρ αυτού εν τη ημέρα της νυμφεύσεως αυτού και εν τη ημέρα της ευφροσύνης της καρδίας αυτού.
11 Go out, you daughters of Zion, and see King Solomon, with the crown with which his mother has crowned him, in the day of his weddings, in the day of the gladness of his heart.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 3:11 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIII)

    … proclaimed by soldiers; and Jesus also must in a figure be crowned by soldiers; so that for this cause the Scripture says in the Canticles, Go forth, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, and look upon King Solomon in the crown wherewith His mother crowned Him.
