Song of Solomon 5

Good News Translation GNT

1 I have entered my garden, my sweetheart, my bride. I am gathering my spices and myrrh; I am eating my honey and honeycomb; I am drinking my wine and milk. Eat, lovers, and drink until you are drunk with love!

2 While I slept, my heart was awake. I dreamed my lover knocked at the door. Let me come in, my darling, my sweetheart, my dove. My head is wet with dew, and my hair is damp from the mist.

3 I have already undressed; why should I get dressed again? I have washed my feet; why should I get them dirty again?

4 My lover put his hand to the door, and I was thrilled that he was near.

5 I was ready to let him come in. My hands were covered with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, as I grasped the handle of the door.

6 I opened the door for my lover, but he had already gone. How I wanted to hear his voice! I looked for him, but couldn't find him; I called to him, but heard no answer.

7 The sentries patrolling the city found me; they struck me and bruised me; the guards at the city wall tore off my cape.

8 Promise me, women of Jerusalem, that if you find my lover, you will tell him I am weak from passion.

9 Most beautiful of women, is your lover different from everyone else? What is there so wonderful about him that we should give you our promise?

10 My lover is handsome and strong; he is one in ten thousand.

11 His face is bronzed and smooth; his hair is wavy, black as a raven.

12 His eyes are as beautiful as doves by a flowing brook, doves washed in milk and standing by the stream.

13 His cheeks are as lovely as a garden that is full of herbs and spices. His lips are like lilies, wet with liquid myrrh.

14 His hands are well-formed, and he wears rings set with gems. His body is like smooth ivory, with sapphires set in it.

15 His thighs are columns of alabaster set in sockets of gold. He is majestic, like the Lebanon Mountains with their towering cedars.

16 His mouth is sweet to kiss; everything about him enchants me. This is what my lover is like, women of Jerusalem.

1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved. Beloved

2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My hair with the dampness of the night.

3 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?

4 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.

5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, My fingers with liquid myrrh, On the handles of the lock.

6 I opened to my beloved; But my beloved left; gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn't find him. I called him, but he didn't answer.

7 The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.

8 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him that I am faint with love. Friends

9 How is your beloved better than another beloved, You fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, That you do so adjure us? Beloved
