Song of Solomon 2

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 I am a rose of Sharon, a flower of the valleys.

2 As the lily-flower among the thorns of the waste, so is my love among the daughters.

3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4 He took me to the house of wine, and his flag over me was love.

5 Make me strong with wine-cakes, let me be comforted with apples; I am overcome with love.

6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand is round about me.

7 I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

8 The voice of my loved one! See, he comes dancing on the mountains, stepping quickly on the hills.

9 My loved one is like a roe; see, he is on the other side of our wall, he is looking in at the windows, letting himself be seen through the spaces.

10 My loved one said to me, Get up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

11 For, see, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

12 The flowers are come on the earth; the time of cutting the vines is come, and the voice of the dove is sounding in our land;

13 The fig-tree puts out her green fruit and the vines with their young fruit give a good smell. Get up from your bed, my beautiful one, and come away.

14 O my dove, you are in the holes of the mountain sides, in the cracks of the high hills; let me see your face, let your voice come to my ears; for sweet is your voice, and your face is fair.

15 Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, which do damage to the vines; our vines have young grapes.

16 My loved one is mine, and I am his: he takes his food among the flowers.

17 Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, come, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of Bether.

Good News Translation GNT

1 I am only a wild flower in Sharon, a lily in a mountain valley.

2 Like a lily among thorns is my darling among women.

3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my dearest compared to other men. I love to sit in its shadow, and its fruit is sweet to my taste.

4 He brought me to his banquet hall and raised the banner of love over me.

5 Restore my strength with raisins and refresh me with apples! I am weak from passion.

6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand caresses me.

7 Promise me, women of Jerusalem; swear by the swift deer and the gazelles that you will not interrupt our love.

8 I hear my lover's voice. He comes running over the mountains, racing across the hills to me.

9 My lover is like a gazelle, like a young stag. There he stands beside the wall. He looks in through the window and glances through the lattice.

11 The winter is over; the rains have stopped;

12 in the countryside the flowers are in bloom. This is the time for singing; the song of doves is heard in the fields.

13 Figs are beginning to ripen; the air is fragrant with blossoming vines. Come then, my love; my darling, come with me.

14 You are like a dove that hides in the crevice of a rock. Let me see your lovely face and hear your enchanting voice.

15 Catch the foxes, the little foxes, before they ruin our vineyard in bloom.

16 My lover is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies

17 until the morning breezes blow and the darkness disappears. Return, my darling, like a gazelle, like a stag on the mountains of Bether.
