¹The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

¹Pesem pesmi, ki je Salomonova.

²Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

²O da bi me poljubil z ust svojih poljubom! ker ljubezen tvoja je boljša nego vino.

³Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.

³Mazila tvoja sladko diše, ime tvoje je kakor izlito mazilo; zato te ljubijo device.

⁴Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

⁴Vleci me, in pohitimo za teboj! Vpeljal me je kralj v hrame svoje: radovati se hočemo in v tebi veseliti, hvaliti čemo ljubezen tvojo bolj nego vino. Iskreno te ljubijo.

⁵I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

⁵Črna sem, ali ljubka, o hčere jeruzalemske, kakor kedarski šatori, kakor Salomonovi zastori.

⁶Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

⁶Ne glejte me, ker sem začrnela, ker me je sonce opalilo. Matere moje sinovi so se srdili z mano, postavili so me za varuhinjo v vinogradih – a vinograda, ki je moj, nisem varovala!

⁷Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?

⁷Povej mi, o ti, ki ga ljubi duša moja, kje paseš čredo svojo? kje ji daješ počivati opoldne? ker čemu naj bi bila kakor tavajoča pri čredah tovarišev tvojih?

⁸If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.

⁸Ako ne veš, o najlepša med ženami, pojdi ven, po stopinjah ovac, in pasi kozliče svoje pri prebivališčih pastirjev.

⁹I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.

⁹Konju pri krasnem vozu Faraonovem te primerjam, o prijateljica moja!

¹⁰Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.

¹⁰Ljubka so lica tvoja med verižicami, vrat tvoj z nizom biserov.

¹¹We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.

¹¹Naredimo ti verižice zlate s srebrnimi kroglicami.

¹²While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.

¹²Dokler je kralj sedel pri omizju svojem, je vonjala narda moja vonjavo svojo.

¹³A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.

¹³Ljubi moj mi je kitica mire, ki leži med mojimi prsmi.

¹⁴My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

¹⁴Ljubi moj mi je šopek ciprovih cvetlic iz vinogradov v Engedi.

¹⁵Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.

¹⁵Glej, lepa si, prijateljica moja, glej, lepa si, oči tvoje so kakor golobice.

¹⁶Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.

¹⁶Glej, lep si, ljubi moj, da, ljubezniv, tudi najino ležišče je mlado zelenje.Tramovje hiše najine je cedrovo in obložci najini cipresovi.

¹⁷The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.

¹⁷Tramovje hiše najine je cedrovo in obložci najini cipresovi.
