1 I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
 אֲנִי חֲבַצֶּלֶת הַשָּׁרֹון שֹׁושַׁנַּת הָעֲמָקִים׃
2 As a lily among brambles,
so is my love among maidens.
He. Sg.2.2כְּשֹׁושַׁנָּה בֵּין הַחֹוחִים כֵּן רַעְיָתִי בֵּין הַבָּנֹות׃
3 As an apple tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved among young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow,
and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
She. Sg.2.3-7כְּתַפּוּחַ בַּעֲצֵי הַיַּעַר כֵּן דֹּודִי בֵּין הַבָּנִים בְּצִלֹּו חִמַּדְתִּי וְיָשַׁבְתִּי וּפִרְיֹו מָתֹוק לְחִכִּי׃
4 He brought me to the banqueting house,
and his banner over me was love.
 הֱבִיאַנִי אֶל־בֵּית הַיָּיִן וְדִגְלֹו עָלַי אַהֲבָה׃
5 Sustain me with raisins,
refresh me with apples;
for I am sick with love.
 סַמְּכוּנִי בָּאֲשִׁישֹׁות רַפְּדוּנִי בַּתַּפּוּחִים כִּי־חֹולַת אַהֲבָה אָנִי׃
6 O that his left hand were under my head,
and that his right hand embraced me!
 שְׂמֹאלֹו תַּחַת לְרֹאשִׁי וִימִינֹו תְּחַבְּקֵנִי׃
7 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles or the hinds of the field,
that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.
 הִשְׁבַּעְתִּי אֶתְכֶם בְּנֹות יְרוּשָׁלִַם בִּצְבָאֹות אֹו בְּאַיְלֹות הַשָּׂדֶה אִם־תָּעִירוּ וְאִם־תְּעֹורְרוּ אֶת־הָאַהֲבָה עַד שֶׁתֶּחְפָּץ׃ ס
8 The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes,
leaping upon the mountains,
bounding over the hills.
The second song. She. Sg.2.8-10קֹול דֹּודִי הִנֵּה־זֶה בָּא מְדַלֵּג עַל־הֶהָרִים מְקַפֵּץ עַל־הַגְּבָעֹות׃
9 My beloved is like a gazelle, or a young stag.
Behold, there he stands behind our wall,
gazing in at the windows,
looking through the lattice.
 דֹּומֶה דֹודִי לִצְבִי אֹו לְעֹפֶר הָאַיָּלִים הִנֵּה־זֶה עֹומֵד אַחַר כָּתְלֵנוּ מַשְׁגִּיחַ מִן־הַחֲלֹּנֹות מֵצִיץ מִן־הַחֲרַכִּים׃
10 My beloved speaks and says to me:
"Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away;
He. Sg.2.10-15עָנָה דֹודִי וְאָמַר לִי קוּמִי לָךְ רַעְיָתִי יָפָתִי וּלְכִי־לָךְ׃
11 for lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
 כִּי־הִנֵּה [כ= הַסְּתֹו] [ק= הַסְּתָיו] עָבָר הַגֶּשֶׁם חָלַף הָלַךְ לֹו׃
12 The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
 הַנִּצָּנִים נִרְאוּ בָאָרֶץ עֵת הַזָּמִיר הִגִּיעַ וְקֹול הַתֹּור נִשְׁמַע בְּאַרְצֵנוּ׃
13 The fig tree puts forth its figs,
and the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
 הַתְּאֵנָה חָנְטָה פַגֶּיהָ וְהַגְּפָנִים סְמָדַר נָתְנוּ רֵיחַ קוּמִי [כ= לְכִי] [ק= לָךְ] רַעְיָתִי יָפָתִי וּלְכִי־לָךְ׃ ס
14 O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
in the covert of the cliff,
let me see your face,
let me hear your voice,
for your voice is sweet,
and your face is comely.
 יֹונָתִי בְּחַגְוֵי הַסֶּלַע בְּסֵתֶר הַמַּדְרֵגָה הַרְאִינִי אֶת־מַרְאַיִךְ הַשְׁמִיעִינִי אֶת־קֹולֵךְ כִּי־קֹולֵךְ עָרֵב וּמַרְאֵיךְ נָאוֶה׃ ס
15 Catch us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vineyards,
for our vineyards are in blossom."
 אֶחֱזוּ־לָנוּ שׁוּעָלִים שׁוּעָלִים קְטַנִּים מְחַבְּלִים כְּרָמִים וּכְרָמֵינוּ סְמָדַר׃
16 My beloved is mine and I am his,
he pastures his flock among the lilies.
She. Sg.2.16-3.5דֹּודִי לִי וַאֲנִי לֹו הָרֹעֶה בַּשֹּׁושַׁנִּים׃
17 Until the day breathes and the shadows flee,
turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle,
or a young stag upon rugged mountains.
 עַד שֶׁיָּפוּחַ הַיֹּום וְנָסוּ הַצְּלָלִים סֹב דְּמֵה־לְךָ דֹודִי לִצְבִי אֹו לְעֹפֶר הָאַיָּלִים עַל־הָרֵי בָתֶר׃ ס

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
