Song of Solomon 1

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 The Ultimate Song, by Shlomo:

2 [She] Let him smother me with kisses from his mouth, for your love is better than wine.

3 Your anointing oils have a wonderful fragrance; your name is like anointing oil poured out. This is why young women love you

4 "Take me with you. We will run after you." The king has brought me into his rooms. [Chorus] We will be glad and rejoice for you. We will praise your love more than wine. How right it is for them to love you!

5 [She] I am dark tan but beautiful, you daughters of Yerushalayim, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Shlomo.

6 Don't stare at me because I'm dark; it's the sun that tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me look after the vineyards. But I haven't cared for my own vineyard.

7 Tell me, my love, where you pasture your flock, where you have them rest at noon; for why should I veil myself [like a whore] beside the flocks of your friends?

8 [Chorus] If you do not know, you most beautiful of women, then follow the footprints of the flock and let your kids graze by the shepherds' tents.

9 [He] My love, I compare you with my mare, pulling one of Pharaoh's chariots

10 your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, your neck with its strings of beads;

11 we will make you ornaments of gold, studded with silver.

12 [She] As the king reclines at table, my nard gives forth its perfume:

13 to me the man I love is a sachet of myrrh lodged between my breasts;

14 to me the man I love is a spray of henna flowers in the vineyards of 'Ein-Gedi.

15 [He] Look at you, my love! How beautiful you are! Your eyes are doves

16 [She] - Look at you! So handsome, so pleasing, my darling! Our bed is the greenery;

17 cedars are the beams of our houses, cypresses the rafters.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 The song of Songs, which is Solomon's.

2 Let him give me the kisses of his mouth: for his love is better than wine.

3 Sweet is the smell of your perfumes; your name is as perfume running out; so the young girls give you their love.

4 Take me to you, and we will go after you: the king has taken me into his house. We will be glad and full of joy in you, we will give more thought to your love than to wine: rightly are they your lovers.

5 I am dark, but fair of form, O daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

6 Let not your eyes be turned on me, because I am dark, because I was looked on by the sun; my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vine-gardens; but my vine-garden I have not kept.

7 Say, O love of my soul, where you give food to your flock, and where you make them take their rest in the heat of the day; why have I to be as one wandering by the flocks of your friends?

8 If you have not knowledge, O most beautiful among women, go on your way in the footsteps of the flock, and give your young goats food by the tents of the keepers.

9 I have made a comparison of you, O my love, to a horse in Pharaoh's carriages.

10 Your face is a delight with rings of hair, your neck with chains of jewels.

11 We will make you chains of gold with ornaments of silver.

12 While the king is seated at his table, my spices send out their perfume.

13 As a bag of myrrh is my well-loved one to me, when he is at rest all night between my breasts.

14 My love is to me as a branch of the cypress-tree in the vine-gardens of En-gedi.

15 See, you are fair, my love, you are fair; you have the eyes of a dove.

16 See, you are fair, my loved one, and a pleasure; our bed is green.

17 Cedar-trees are the pillars of our house; and our boards are made of fir-trees.
