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.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the shoshan (lily) of the valleys.

2 As the shoshan (lily) among thorns, so is my love among the banot.

3 As the tapuach (apple tree) among the trees of the wood, so is dodi (my beloved) among the banim. Betzilloh (in his shade, shadow) chimmadti (I desire [see Shir HaShirim 5:16]), and his p’ri (fruit) is sweet to my taste.

4 He brought me to the Bais HaYayin, and his degel (standard, banner, flag) over me is ahavah.

5 Sustain me with cakes of raisins, comfort me with apples: ki cholat ahavah ani (for I am faint with ahavah, lovesick).

6 His left hand is under my rosh, and his right hand doth embrace me.

7 I charge you, O ye banot Yerushalayim, by the gazelles, and by the deer of the sadeh, that ye arouse nor awake HaAhavah till it pleases [i.e., until its own time—see 3:5; 8:4].

8 Kol dodi (the voice of my beloved)! Hinei, he cometh leaping upon the harim, bounding over the hills.

9 Dodi (my beloved) is like a gazelle or a young deer; hinei, he standeth behind our Kotel (Wall); he looketh forth at the chalonot (windows), peering through the lattices [Rev 3:20].

10 Dodi (my beloved) spoke, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

11 For, hinei, the winter is past, the geshem (rain) is over and gone;

12 The flowers appear on ha’aretz; the time of zemer (song, singing of birds) has come; and the voice of the turtledove is heard in Artzeinu (our Land);

13 The te’enah (fig tree) putteth forth her early figs, and the vines with the tender grape give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

14 O my yonah (dove), that art in the clefts of the rock, in the seter (secret place) of the cliff, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is lovely.

15 Catch the shu’alim (foxes), the shu’alim ketanim (little foxes), that spoil the kramim (vines); for krameinu (our [blooming] vines) have tender grapes.

16 Dodi (my beloved) is mine, and I am his; he feedeth among the lilies.

17 Until HaYom (the day) break, and the shadows flee away, turn, dodi (my beloved), and be thou like a gazelle or a young deer upon the hills of Beter.
