¹Kam je šel ljubi tvoj, o najlepša med ženami, kam se je obrnil ljubi tvoj? Iskati ga hočemo s teboj!

¹Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you? Beloved

²Ljubi moj je šel doli na vrt svoj, h gredicam balzamovim, da bi pasel po vrtih in trgal lilije.

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

³Jaz sem ljubega svojega in ljubi moj je moj, on pase čredo svojo med lilijami.

³I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine. He browses among the lilies,

⁴Lepa si, prijateljica moja, kakor Tirza, milovidna kakor Jeruzalem, strašna kakor vojske z zastavami.

⁴You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.

⁵Obrni oči od mene, ker me premagujejo. Lasje tvoji so kakor čreda koz, ki ležé po strmini Gileadski.

⁵Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats, that lie along the side of Gilead.

⁶Zobje tvoji so kakor čreda ovac, ki stopajo gori iz kopeli, katerih vsaka ima dvojčeti in nerodovitne ni med njimi nobene.

⁶Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing; of which every one has twins; none is bereaved among them.

⁷Senca tvoja so kakor odrezan kos margaranovega jabolka za pajčolanom tvojim.

⁸Šestdeset je kraljic in osemdeset priležnic in mladenk brez števila.

⁸There are sixty queens, eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

⁹A edina je golobica moja, popolna moja; edinica je materi svoji, izvoljenka porodnici svoji. Hčere so jo videle in so jo blagorovale, tudi kraljice in priležnice in so jo hvalile.

⁹My dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother’s only daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

¹⁰Kdo je ona, ki prisvitava kakor jutranja zarja, lepa kakor mesec, čista kakor sonce, strašna kakor vojske z zastavami?

¹⁰Who is she who looks forth as the morning, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, and awesome as an army with banners?

¹¹Šel sem doli na orehov vrt, da si ogledam zelene mladike v dolini, da pogledam, če dela vinska trta popke, če cveto margaranova jabolka.

¹¹I went down into the nut tree grove, to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded, and the pomegranates were in flower.

¹²A preden sem zaznal, me je posadila duša moja na krasni voz mojega plemenitega ljudstva.Vrni se, vrni se, o Šulamljanka, vrni se, vrni se, da te bomo gledali! [6:14] Kaj hočete gledati Šulamljanko? kakor ples mahanaimski...

¹²Without realizing it, my desire set me with my royal people’s chariots. Friends

¹³Vrni se, vrni se, o Šulamljanka, vrni se, vrni se, da te bomo gledali! [6:14] Kaj hočete gledati Šulamljanko? kakor ples mahanaimski...

¹³Return, return, Shulammite! Return, return, that we may gaze at you. Lover Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite, as at the dance of Mahanaim?

¹⁶Friends
