YLT Young's Literal Translation
PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Whither hath thy beloved gone, O fair among women? Whither hath thy beloved turned, And we seek him with thee?
·
2 My beloved went down to his garden, To the beds of the spice, To delight himself in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
·
3 I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine, Who is delighting himself among the lilies.
·
4 Fair [art] thou, my friend, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts.
·
5 Turn round thine eyes from before me, Because they have made me proud. Thy hair [is] as a row of the goats, That have shone from Gilead,
·
6 Thy teeth as a row of the lambs, That have come up from the washing, Because all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them.
·
7 As the work of the pomegranate [is] thy temple behind thy veil.
·
8 Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without number.
·
9 One is my dove, my perfect one, One she [is] of her mother, The choice one she [is] of her that bare her, Daughters saw, and pronounce her happy, Queens and concubines, and they praise her.
·
10 'Who [is] this that is looking forth as morning, Fair as the moon — clear as the sun, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts?'
·
11 Unto a garden of nuts I went down, To look on the buds of the valley, To see whither the vine had flourished, The pomegranates had blossomed —
·
12 I knew not my soul, It made me — chariots of my people Nadib.
·
13 Return, return, O Shulammith! Return, return, and we look upon thee. What do ye see in Shulammith?

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 who feed My sheep among the lilies, I am come to feed them in the gardens.
