1 Behold, you are beautiful, my love, behold, you are beautiful!
Your eyes are doves behind your veil.
Your hair is like a flock of goats,
moving down the slopes of Gilead.
He. Sg.4.1-15הִנָּךְ יָפָה רַעְיָתִי הִנָּךְ יָפָה עֵינַיִךְ יֹונִים מִבַּעַד לְצַמָּתֵךְ שַׂעְרֵךְ כְּעֵדֶר הָעִזִּים שֶׁגָּלְשׁוּ מֵהַר גִּלְעָד׃
2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing,
all of which bear twins,
and not one among them is bereaved.
 שִׁנַּיִךְ כְּעֵדֶר הַקְּצוּבֹות שֶׁעָלוּ מִן־הָרַחְצָה שֶׁכֻּלָּם מַתְאִימֹות וְשַׁכֻּלָה אֵין בָּהֶם׃
3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.
 כְּחוּט הַשָּׁנִי שִׂפְתֹתַיִךְ וּמִדְבָּרֵיךְ נָאוֶה כְּפֶלַח הָרִמֹּון רַקָּתֵךְ מִבַּעַד לְצַמָּתֵךְ׃
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
built for an arsenal,
whereon hang a thousand bucklers,
all of them shields of warriors.
 כְּמִגְדַּל דָּוִיד צַוָּארֵךְ בָּנוּי לְתַלְפִּיֹּות אֶלֶף הַמָּגֵן תָּלוּי עָלָיו כֹּל שִׁלְטֵי הַגִּבֹּורִים׃
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle,
that feed among the lilies.
 שְׁנֵי שָׁדַיִךְ כִּשְׁנֵי עֳפָרִים תְּאֹומֵי צְבִיָּה הָרֹועִים בַּשֹּׁושַׁנִּים׃
6 Until the day breathes and the shadows flee,
I will hie me to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense.
 עַד שֶׁיָּפוּחַ הַיֹּום וְנָסוּ הַצְּלָלִים אֵלֶךְ לִי אֶל־הַר הַמֹּור וְאֶל־גִּבְעַת הַלְּבֹונָה׃
7 You are all fair, my love;
there is no flaw in you.
 כֻּלָּךְ יָפָה רַעְיָתִי וּמוּם אֵין בָּךְ׃ ס
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride;
come with me from Lebanon.
Depart from the peak of Amana,
from the peak of Senir and Hermon,
from the dens of lions,
from the mountains of leopards.
 אִתִּי מִלְּבָנֹון כַּלָּה אִתִּי מִלְּבָנֹון תָּבֹואִי תָּשׁוּרִי מֵרֹאשׁ אֲמָנָה מֵרֹאשׁ שְׂנִיר וְחֶרְמֹון מִמְּעֹנֹות אֲרָיֹות מֵהַרְרֵי נְמֵרִים׃
9 You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride,
you have ravished my heart with a glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
 לִבַּבְתִּנִי אֲחֹתִי כַלָּה לִבַּבְתִּינִי [כ= בְּאַחַד] [ק= בְּאַחַת] מֵעֵינַיִךְ בְּאַחַד עֲנָק מִצַּוְּרֹנָיִךְ׃
10 How sweet is your love, my sister, my bride!
how much better is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
 מַה־יָּפוּ דֹדַיִךְ אֲחֹתִי כַלָּה מַה־טֹּבוּ דֹדַיִךְ מִיַּיִן וְרֵיחַ שְׁמָנַיִךְ מִכָּל־בְּשָׂמִים׃
11 Your lips distil nectar, my bride;
honey and milk are under your tongue;
the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon.
 נֹפֶת תִּטֹּפְנָה שִׂפְתֹותַיִךְ כַּלָּה דְּבַשׁ וְחָלָב תַּחַת לְשֹׁונֵךְ וְרֵיחַ שַׂלְמֹתַיִךְ כְּרֵיחַ לְבָנֹון׃ ס
12 A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
a garden locked, a fountain sealed.
 גַּן נָעוּל אֲחֹתִי כַלָּה גַּל נָעוּל מַעְיָן חָתוּם׃
13 Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates with all choicest fruits, henna with nard,
 שְׁלָחַיִךְ פַּרְדֵּס רִמֹּונִים עִם פְּרִי מְגָדִים כְּפָרִים עִם־נְרָדִים׃
14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,
with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes,
with all chief spices -
 נֵרְדְּ וְכַרְכֹּם קָנֶה וְקִנָּמֹון עִם כָּל־עֲצֵי לְבֹונָה מֹר וַאֲהָלֹות עִם כָּל־רָאשֵׁי בְשָׂמִים׃
15 a garden fountain, a well of living water,
and flowing streams from Lebanon.
 מַעְיַן גַּנִּים בְּאֵר מַיִם חַיִּים וְנֹזְלִים מִן־לְבָנֹון׃
16 Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my garden, let its fragrance be wafted abroad.
Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits.
She. Sg.4.16עוּרִי צָפֹון וּבֹואִי תֵימָן הָפִיחִי גַנִּי יִזְּלוּ בְשָׂמָיו יָבֹא דֹודִי לְגַנֹּו וְיֹאכַל פְּרִי מְגָדָיו׃

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.
