WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Entro en mi jardín, hermana mía, novia mía! Recojo mirra con mi especia. Como mi panal con mi miel. Bebo vino con mi leche. ¡Comamos nuestra saciedad de amor! Embriaguémonos de amor!
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 Aunque estaba dormida, mi mente iba a toda velocidad. Oí que mi amor llamaba a la puerta, y gritaba: “Por favor, abre la puerta, hermana mía, querida, paloma mía, mi amor perfecto. Mi cabeza está empapada de rocío, mis cabellos están mojados por la niebla nocturna”.
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 Respondí: “Ya me he desvestido. No tengo que volver a vestirme, ¿verdad? Ya me he lavado los pies. No tengo que ensuciarlos de nuevo, ¿verdad?”
3 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
4 Mi amor metió la mano en la abertura. En mi interior lo anhelaba.
4 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.
5 Me levanté para dejar entrar a mi amor. Mis manos goteaban de mirra, mis dedos de mirra líquida, mientras agarraba las asas del cerrojo.
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 Me abrí a mi amor, pero él se había ido, ¡se había ido! Quedé destrozada por ello. Lo busqué pero no pude encontrarlo. Lo llamé, pero no respondió.
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 Los vigilantes me encontraron al pasar por la ciudad. Me golpearon, me hirieron y me robaron el manto, aquellos centinelas de las murallas.
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 Mujeres de Jerusalén, prométanme que si encuentran a mi amor y no saben qué decirle, díganle que estoy débil de amor.
8 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love.
9 ¿Por qué el que amas es mejor que cualquier otro? Dinos, mujer más bella de las mujeres? ¿En qué es el que amas es mejor que cualquier otro para que te prometamos eso?
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 Mi amor tiene una apariencia deslumbrante y está muy en forma, mejor que otros diez mil.
10 My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
11 Su cabeza es como el oro más fino, su cabello es ondulado y negro como el cuervo.
11 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
12 Sus ojos son como palomas junto a manantiales de agua, lavados con leche y engastados como joyas resplandecientes.
12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
13 Sus mejillas son como un macizo de especias que produce fragancia. Sus labios son como lirios, goteando mirra líquida.
13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
14 Sus brazos son barras redondas de oro con incrustaciones de joyas. Su abdomen es como marfil tallado con incrustaciones de lapislázuli.
14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
15 Sus piernas son columnas de alabastro asentadas sobre bases de oro. Parece fuerte, como los poderosos cedros del Líbano.
15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 Su boca es la más dulce de todas; ¡es absolutamente deseable! Este es mi amor, mi amigo, mujeres de Jerusalén.
16 His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

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 5:1 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIII)

    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?

  2. Quotes verse 5:2 Basil of Caesarea, Hexaemeron (Homily VII)

    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.

  3. Quotes verse 5:12 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XVII)

    … 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.
