Song of Solomon 5
1 My bride, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, I have come [to cuddle up to you] [MET, EUP]; [it will be as though] I will be gathering myrrh with my other spices, and eating my honey and my honeycomb, and drinking my wine and my milk. You two who love each other, enjoy your lovemaking; enjoy all that you want to.
¡Entro en mi jardín, hermana mía, novia mía! Recojo mirra con mi especia. Como mi panal con mi miel. Bebo vino con mi leche. ¡Comamos nuestra saciedad de amor! Embriaguémonos de amor!
2 I was partially asleep, but my mind was [still] awake. Then I heard the one who loves me knocking [at the door]. [He said], “My darling, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, my dear friend, my perfect one, my dove [MET], open the door for me! My hair is wet from the dew, from the mist [that has fallen during] the night.”
Aunque estaba dormida, mi mente iba a toda velocidad. Oí que mi amor llamaba a la puerta, y gritaba: “Por favor, abre la puerta, hermana mía, querida, paloma mía, mi amor perfecto. Mi cabeza está empapada de rocío, mis cabellos están mojados por la niebla nocturna”.
3 [But] I had already taken off my robe; I did not [RHQ] want to put it on again [to open the door]. I had [already] washed my feet; I did not [RHQ] want them to become dirty again.
Respondí: “Ya me he desvestido. No tengo que volver a vestirme, ¿verdad? Ya me he lavado los pies. No tengo que ensuciarlos de nuevo, ¿verdad?”
4 The one who loves me put his hand through the opening [in the wall], and I was thrilled [that he was there].
Mi amor metió la mano en la abertura. En mi interior lo anhelaba.
5 I got up to open [the door] for the one who loves me, [but first I put a lot of] myrrh on my hands. The myrrh was dripping from my fingers while I unlatched the bolt.
Me levanté para dejar entrar a mi amor. Mis manos goteaban de mirra, mis dedos de mirra líquida, mientras agarraba las asas del cerrojo.
6 I opened [the door] for the man who loves me, but he had left. He had turned away and was gone! I was very disappointed [IDM]; I searched for him, but I could not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.
Me abrí a mi amor, pero él se había ido, ¡se había ido! Quedé destrozada por ello. Lo busqué pero no pude encontrarlo. Lo llamé, pero no respondió.
7 The city watchmen saw me while they were walking around the city. They beat me and wounded me [because they thought I must be a prostitute]; those men who were guarding the city walls took my robe.
Los vigilantes me encontraron al pasar por la ciudad. Me golpearon, me hirieron y me robaron el manto, aquellos centinelas de las murallas.
8 You young women of Jerusalem, I plead with you, if you see the man who loves me, tell him [DOU] that I am very disappointed that we did not make love.
Mujeres de Jerusalén, prométanme que si encuentran a mi amor y no saben qué decirle, díganle que estoy débil de amor.
9 You who are the (fairest/most beautiful) among women, why [do you think that] the one who loves you is better than other men? In what way is the man who loves you better than other men with the result that you ask us to tell him that?
¿Por qué el que amas es mejor que cualquier otro? Dinos, mujer más bella de las mujeres? ¿En qué es el que amas es mejor que cualquier otro para que te prometamos eso?
10 The man who loves me is handsome and healthy, (outstanding among/better than) (10,000/an uncountable number of) [other men].
Mi amor tiene una apariencia deslumbrante y está muy en forma, mejor que otros diez mil.
11 His head is [beautiful, like] [MET] purest gold; his hair is wavy and as black as [SIM] a raven/crow.
Su cabeza es como el oro más fino, su cabello es ondulado y negro como el cuervo.
12 His eyes [are as gentle] as [SIM] doves along the streams; [the white parts of] his eyes are as white as [MET] milk, [with what resembles] jewels inlaid in them.
Sus ojos son como palomas junto a manantiales de agua, lavados con leche y engastados como joyas resplandecientes.
13 His cheeks are like [SIM] a garden full of spice trees that produce [sweet-smelling] perfume. His lips are [like] [SIM] lilies that have myrrh/perfume dripping from them.
Sus mejillas son como un macizo de especias que produce fragancia. Sus labios son como lirios, goteando mirra líquida.
14 His arms are like [MET] gold bars/rods that are decorated with precious stones/jewels. His body is like [SIM] [a column/pillar of] ivory that is decorated with (sapphires/valuable [blue] stones).
Sus brazos son barras redondas de oro con incrustaciones de joyas. Su abdomen es como marfil tallado con incrustaciones de lapislázuli.
15 His legs are [like] [MET] pillars of marble that are set in bases made of pure gold. He is [majestic, like the mountains of] [SIM] Lebanon, as delightful/beautiful as [SIM] cedar [trees].
Sus piernas son columnas de alabastro asentadas sobre bases de oro. Parece fuerte, como los poderosos cedros del Líbano.
16 His kisses [MTY] are extremely sweet; he is very handsome. You young women of Jerusalem, all that tells you why the one who loves me and who is my friend [is better than other men].
Su boca es la más dulce de todas; ¡es absolutamente deseable! Este es mi amor, mi amigo, mujeres de Jerusalén.
