Cantares 5
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Amado
5 Ya llego a mi jardín,
hermana y novia mía,
a recoger mi mirra y mis especias,
a comer de mi miel y mi panal,
a beber de mi vino y de mi leche.
Coro
¡Coman, amigos, beban
y embriáguense de amores!
Cuarto cantar
Amada
2 Yo dormía con el corazón en vela
y escuché la voz de mi amor:
— Ábreme, hermana y compañera mía,
mi paloma sin defecto,
que traigo la cabeza cubierta de rocío
y los rizos mojados del relente nocturno.
3 — Ya me quité la túnica,
¿cómo voy a ponérmela?
Ya me lavé los pies,
¿cómo voy a mancharlos?
4 Mi amor metió su mano en la rendija
y se me estremecieron las entrañas.
5 Me levanté para abrirle a mi amor:
mis manos goteaban mirra
y mis dedos mirra líquida
sobre el cerrojo de la puerta.
6 Yo misma abrí a mi amor
y mi amor se había marchado.
¡El alma se me fue con sus palabras!
Lo busqué y no lo hallé,
lo llamé y no respondió.
7 Me descubrieron los guardias
que hacían ronda en la ciudad:
me golpearon, me hirieron
y me quitaron el manto
los guardias de las murallas.
8 Júrenme, muchachas de Jerusalén,
que si encuentran a mi amor,
esto le habrán de decir:
¡que estoy enferma de amor!
Coro
9 ¿Qué distingue a tu amor de cualquier otro,
hermosa entre las mujeres?
¿Qué distingue a tu amor de cualquier otro,
para que así nos supliques?
Amada
10 Mi amor es moreno claro,
descollante entre diez mil.
11 Su cabeza es oro puro
con los cabellos rizados
y más negros que los cuervos.
12 Sus ojos son dos palomas
sobre pilones de agua,
que se bañan en leche
y se posan en la alberca.
13 Sus mejillas, balsameras
y macizos de perfumes;
y sus labios como lirios
que destilan mirra líquida.
14 Sus manos, argollas de oro,
enjoyadas de topacio;
su vientre, marfil labrado,
recubierto de zafiros.
15 Dos columnas de mármol, sus piernas,
firmes sobre basas de oro.
Su apariencia es como el Líbano,
distinguido como el cedro.
16 Su paladar es dulcísimo,
¡todo él es un encanto!
Así es mi amor y mi amigo,
muchachas de Jerusalén.
Song of Songs 5

Song of Songs 5
New International Version
He
5 I have come into my garden,(A) my sister, my bride;(B)
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.(C)
Friends
Eat, friends, and drink;
drink your fill of love.
She
2 I slept but my heart was awake.
Listen! My beloved is knocking:
“Open to me, my sister, my darling,
my dove,(D) my flawless(E) one.(F)
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3 I have taken off my robe—
must I put it on again?
I have washed my feet—
must I soil them again?
4 My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening;
my heart began to pound for him.
5 I arose to open for my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,(G)
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened for my beloved,(H)
but my beloved had left; he was gone.(I)
My heart sank at his departure.[a]
I looked(J) for him but did not find him.
I called him but he did not answer.
7 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.(K)
They beat me, they bruised me;
they took away my cloak,
those watchmen of the walls!
8 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(L)—
if you find my beloved,(M)
what will you tell him?
Tell him I am faint with love.(N)
Friends
9 How is your beloved better than others,
most beautiful of women?(O)
How is your beloved better than others,
that you so charge us?
She
10 My beloved is radiant and ruddy,
outstanding among ten thousand.(P)
11 His head is purest gold;
his hair is wavy
and black as a raven.
12 His eyes are like doves(Q)
by the water streams,
washed in milk,(R)
mounted like jewels.
13 His cheeks(S) are like beds of spice(T)
yielding perfume.
His lips are like lilies(U)
dripping with myrrh.(V)
14 His arms are rods of gold
set with topaz.
His body is like polished ivory
decorated with lapis lazuli.(W)
15 His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,(X)
choice as its cedars.
16 His mouth(Y) is sweetness itself;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved,(Z) this is my friend,
daughters of Jerusalem.(AA)

The Bride Searches for Her Beloved
She
2 I slept, but my heart was awake.
A sound! My beloved is (G)knocking.
“Open to me, my (H)sister, my (I)love,
my (J)dove, my (K)perfect one,
for my head is wet with dew,
my (L)locks with the drops of the night.”
3 (M)I had put off my garment;
how could I put it on?
I had (N)bathed my feet;
how could I soil them?
4 My beloved put his hand to the latch,
and my heart was thrilled within me.
5 I arose to open to my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with (O)liquid myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened to my beloved,
but my beloved had turned and gone.
My soul failed me when he (P)spoke.
(Q)I sought him, but found him not;
(R)I called him, but he gave no answer.
7 (S)The watchmen found me
as they went about in the city;
they beat me, they bruised me,
they took away my veil,
those watchmen of the walls.
8 I (T)adjure you, O (U)daughters of Jerusalem,
if you find my beloved,
that you tell him
(V)I am sick with love.
Others
9 What is your beloved more than another beloved,
O (W)most beautiful among women?
What is your beloved more than another beloved,
that you thus (X)adjure us?

(Z)distinguished among ten thousand.

mounds of sweet-smelling herbs.
His lips are (AE)lilies,
dripping (AF)liquid myrrh.
14 His arms are rods of gold,
set with (AG)jewels.
His body is polished ivory,[b]

This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O (AK)daughters of Jerusalem.
