¹Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

¹'Kuhu su kallim on läinud, sa ilusaim naistest? Kuhu su kallim põikas, et koos sinuga teda otsida?'

²My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

²'Mu kallim läks alla oma rohuaeda, palsamipeenarde juurde, rohuaedadesse karja hoidma ja lillekesi noppima.

³I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

³Mina kuulun oma kallimale ja mu kallim on minu, tema, kes lillekeste keskel karja hoiab.'

⁴Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

⁴'Sa oled ilus nagu Tirsa, mu kullake, kaunis nagu Jeruusalemm, kardetav nagu väehulk lippudega.

⁵Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

⁵Pööra oma silmad ära mu pealt, sest need teevad mind rahutuks! Su juuksed on nagu kitsekari, kes laskub Gileadilt.

⁶Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.

⁶Su hambad on nagu kari emalambaid, kes pesemiselt tulevad; neil kõigil on kaksikud ja ükski neist pole soota.

⁷As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

⁷Otsekui granaatõuna lõiked on su oimud su loori taga.

⁸There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.

⁸Kuuskümmend on kuningannasid, kaheksakümmend on liignaisi ja neitseid on arvutult.

⁹My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

⁹Aga üksainus on mu tuvike, mu süütuke, oma ema ainus, oma sünnitaja lemmik. Tüdrukud näevad teda ja kiidavad õndsaks, ka kuningannad ja liignaised, ja nad ülistavad teda:

¹⁰Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?

¹⁰'Kes see on, kes koiduna alla vaatab, ilus nagu täiskuu, selge nagu päike, kardetav nagu väehulk lippudega?''

¹¹I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.

¹¹'Ma läksin alla pähkliaeda vaatama pungi orus, vaatama, kas viinapuu on pakatanud, kas granaatõunapuud õitsevad.

¹²Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.

¹²Ma ei teadnud, et mu hing pani mind Ammi-Nadibi vankritele.'

¹³Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
