- Kapitel 1 -

You are my King

(Ephesians 5:22-33; 1 Peter 3:1-7)
1
The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s. The young woman speaking to her lover-
2
Oh, that you would kiss me with the kisses of your mouth, for your love is better than wine.
3
Your anointing oils have a delightful fragrance; your name is like flowing perfume, so the young women love you.
4
Take me with you, and we will run. The woman speaking to herself- The king has brought me into his rooms. The woman speaking to her lover- I am glad; I rejoice about you; let me celebrate your love; it is better than wine. It is natural for the other women to adore you. The woman speaking to the other women-

Do not look down on me!

5
I am dark but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem’s men-dark like the tents of Kedar, lovely like the curtains of Solomon.
6
Do not stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept. The woman speaking to her lover-

Where are you?

7
Tell me, you whom I love, where do you feed your flock? Where do you rest your flock at noontime? Why should I be like someone who wanders beside the flocks of your companions? Her lover answering her-
8
If you do not know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of my flock, and pasture your young goats near the shepherds’ tents.

You are beautiful!

9
I compare you, my love, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.
10
Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
11
I will make for you gold ornaments with silver studs. The woman speaking to herself-
12
While the king lay on his couch, my nard emitted its fragrance.
13
My beloved is to me like a sachet of myrrh that spends the night lying between my breasts.
14
My beloved is to me like a cluster of henna flowers in the vineyards of En Gedi. Her lover speaking to her-
15
See, you are beautiful, my love; see, you are beautiful; your eyes are like doves. The woman speaking to her lover-
16
See, you are handsome, my beloved, how handsome. The lush plants serve as our bed.
17
The beams of our house are cedar tree branches, and our rafters are fir branches.
