1 How graceful are your feet in sandals, O queenly maiden!
Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.
He. Sg.7.1-9מַה־יָּפוּ פְעָמַיִךְ בַּנְּעָלִים בַּת־נָדִיב חַמּוּקֵי יְרֵכַיִךְ כְּמֹו חֲלָאִים מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָמָּן׃
2 Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
 שָׁרְרֵךְ אַגַּן הַסַּהַר אַל־יֶחְסַר הַמָּזֶג בִּטְנֵךְ עֲרֵמַת חִטִּים סוּגָה בַּשֹּׁושַׁנִּים׃
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
 שְׁנֵי שָׁדַיִךְ כִּשְׁנֵי עֳפָרִים תָּאֳמֵי צְבִיָּה׃
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus.
 צַוָּארֵךְ כְּמִגְדַּל הַשֵּׁן עֵינַיִךְ בְּרֵכֹות בְּחֶשְׁבֹּון עַל־שַׁעַר בַּת־רַבִּים אַפֵּךְ כְּמִגְדַּל הַלְּבָנֹון צֹופֶה פְּנֵי דַמָּשֶׂק׃
5 Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks are like purple;
a king is held captive in the tresses.
 רֹאשֵׁךְ עָלַיִךְ כַּכַּרְמֶל וְדַלַּת רֹאשֵׁךְ כָּאַרְגָּמָן מֶלֶךְ אָסוּר בָּרְהָטִים׃
6 How fair and pleasant you are,
O loved one, delectable maiden!
 מַה־יָּפִית וּמַה־נָּעַמְתְּ אַהֲבָה בַּתַּעֲנוּגִים׃
7 You are stately as a palm tree,
and your breasts are like its clusters.
 זֹאת קֹומָתֵךְ דָּמְתָה לְתָמָר וְשָׁדַיִךְ לְאַשְׁכֹּלֹות׃
8 I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches.
Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
and the scent of your breath like apples,
 אָמַרְתִּי אֶעֱלֶה בְתָמָר אֹחֲזָה בְּסַנְסִנָּיו וְיִהְיוּ־נָא שָׁדַיִךְ כְּאֶשְׁכְּלֹות הַגֶּפֶן וְרֵיחַ אַפֵּךְ כַּתַּפּוּחִים׃
9 and your kisses like the best wine
that goes down smoothly,
gliding over lips and teeth.
 וְחִךֵּךְ כְּיֵין הַטֹּוב הֹולֵךְ לְדֹודִי לְמֵישָׁרִים דֹּובֵב שִׂפְתֵי יְשֵׁנִים׃
10 I am my beloved's,
and his desire is for me.
She. Sg.7.10-8.4אֲנִי לְדֹודִי וְעָלַי תְּשׁוּקָתֹו׃ ס
11 Come, my beloved,
let us go forth into the fields,
and lodge in the villages;
 לְכָה דֹודִי נֵצֵא הַשָּׂדֶה נָלִינָה בַּכְּפָרִים׃
12 let us go out early to the vineyards,
and see whether the vines have budded,
whether the grape blossoms have opened
and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
 נַשְׁכִּימָה לַכְּרָמִים נִרְאֶה אִם פָּרְחָה הַגֶּפֶן פִּתַּח הַסְּמָדַר הֵנֵצוּ הָרִמֹּונִים שָׁם אֶתֵּן אֶת־דֹּדַי לָךְ׃
13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
and over our doors are all choice fruits,
new as well as old,
which I have laid up for you,
O my beloved.
 הַדּוּדָאִים נָתְנוּ־רֵיחַ וְעַל־פְּתָחֵינוּ כָּל־מְגָדִים חֲדָשִׁים גַּם־יְשָׁנִים דֹּודִי צָפַנְתִּי לָךְ׃

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.
