| 1 | My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the bed of aromatical spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. | Sponsa Dilectus meus descendit in hortum suum ad areolam aromatum, ut pascatur in hortis, et lilia colligat. | Ποῦ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφιδός σου ἡ καλὴ ἐν γυναιξὶ; ποῦ ἀπέβλεψεν ὁ ἀδελφιδός σου; καὶ ζητήσομεν αὐτὸν μετὰ σοῦ. |
| 2 | I to my beloved, and my beloved to me, who feedeth among the lilies. | Ego dilecto meo, et dilectus meus mihi, qui pascitur inter lilia. | Ἀδελφιδός μου κατέβη εἰς κῆπον αὐτοῦ εἰς φιάλας τοῦ ἀρώματος, ποιμαίνειν ἐν κήποις, καὶ συλλέγειν κρίνα. |
| 3 | Thou art beautiful, O my love, sweet and comely as Jerusalem: terrible as an army set in array. | Sponsus Pulchra es, amica mea; suavis, et decora sicut Ierusalem; terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata. | Ἐγὼ τῷ ἀδελφιδῷ μου, καὶ ἀδελφιδός μου ἐμοί, ὁ ποιμαίνων ἐν τοῖς κρίνοις. |
| 4 | Turn away thy eyes from me, for they have made me flee away. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from Galaad. | Averte oculos tuos a me, quia ipsi me avolare fecerunt. Capilli tui sicut grex caprarum quae apparuerunt de Galaad. | Καλὴ εἶ ἡ πλησίον μου, ὡς εὐδοκία, ὡραῖα ὡς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, θάμβος ὡς τεταγμέναι. |
| 5 | Thy teeth as a flock of sheep, which come up from the washing, all with twins, and there is none barren among them. | Dentes tui sicut grex ovium quae ascenderunt de lavacro: omnes gemellis foetibus, et sterilis non est in eis. | Ἀπόστρεψον ὀφθαλμούς σου ἀπεναντίον μου, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἀνεπτέρωσάν με· τρίχωμά σου ὡς ἀγέλαι τῶν αἰγῶν, αἳ ἀνεφάνησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ Γαλαάδ. |
| 6 | Thy cheeks are as the bark of a pomegranate, beside what is hidden within thee. | Sicut cortex mali punici, sic genae tuae, absque occultis tuis. | Ὀδόντες σου ὡς ἀγέλαι τῶν κεκαρμένων, αἳ ἀνέβησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ λουτροῦ, αἱ πᾶσαι διδυμεύουσαι, καὶ ἀτεκνοῦσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐταῖς· ὡς σπαρτίον τὸ κόκκινον χείλη σου, καὶ ἡ λαλιά σου ὡραιᾶ. |
| 7 | There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and young maidens without number. | Sexaginta sunt reginae, et octoginta concubinae, et adolescentularum non est numerus. | Ὡς λέπυρον ῥοᾶς μῆλόν σου ἐκτὸς τῆς σιωπήσεώς σου. |
| 8 | One is my dove, my perfect one is but one, she is the only one of her mother, the chosen of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and declared her most blessed: the queens and concubines, and they praised her. | Una est columba mea, perfecta mea, una est matris suae, electa genetrici suae. Viderunt eam filiae, et beatissimam praedicaverunt; reginae et concubinae, et laudaverunt eam. | Ἑξήκοντά εἰσι βασίλισσαι καὶ ὀγδοήκοντα παλλακαὶ, καὶ νεάνιδες ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός. |
| 9 | Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array? | Quae est ista quae progreditur quasi aurora consurgens, pulchra ut luna, electa ut sol, terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata? | Μία ἐστὶ περιστερά μου, τελεία μου, μία ἐστὶ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς, ἐκλεκτή ἐστι τῇ τεκούσῃ αὐτήν· Εἴδοσαν αὐτὴν θυγατέρες καὶ μακαριοῦσιν αὐτὴν, βασίλισσαι καί γε παλλακαὶ, καὶ αἰνέσουσιν αὐτήν. |
| 10 | I went down into the garden of nuts, to see the fruits of the valleys, and to look if the vineyard had flourished, and the pomegranates budded. | Sponsa Descendi in hortum nucum, ut viderem poma convallium, et inspicerem si floruisset vinea, et germinassent mala punica. | Τίς αὕτη ἡ ἐκκύπτουσα ὡσεὶ ὄρθρος, καλὴ ὡς σελήνη, ἐκλεκτὴ ὡς ὁ ἥλιος, θάμβος ὡς τεταγμέναι; |
| 11 | I knew not: my soul troubled me for the chariots of Aminadab. | Nescivi: anima mea conturbavit me, propter quadrigas Aminadab. | Εἰς κῆπον καρύας κατέβην ἰδεῖν ἐν γεννήμασι τοῦ χειμάῤῥου, ἰδεῖν εἰ ἤνθησεν ἡ ἄμπελος, ἐξήνθησαν αἱ ῥοαί· |
| 12 | Return, return, O Sulamitess: return, return that we may behold thee. | Chorus Revertere, revertere, Sulamitis! revertere, revertere ut intueamur te. | Ἐκεῖ δώσω τοὺς μαστούς μου σοί· οὐκ ἔγνω ἡ ψυχή μου· ἔθετο με ἅρματα Ἀμιναδάβ. |
