Song of Solomon 8
1 I wish that you were my brother who (nursed at/drank milk from) my mother’s breasts [when you were a baby], [because, if you were my brother], if I saw you when you were outside [the house], I could kiss you, and no one would say that my doing that was wrong.
Cómo me gustaría que fueras como un hermano para mí, uno que amamantara a los pechos de mi madre. Entonces, si te encontrara en la calle, podría besarte y nadie me regañaría.
2 [No one would object if] I led you to my mother’s house, to where my mother, who taught me [many things], lives. I would like to take you to my mother’s house because I would [like to make love to you] [EUP], [and that would be as delightful as] [MET] juice [squeezed] from pomegranates.
Entonces podría llevarte a casa de mi madre, donde ella me enseñaba. Te daría a beber vino aromático del jugo de mi granada.
3 You would put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
Sostiene mi cabeza con su mano izquierda y me estrecha con la derecha.
4 [I would say to] you women of Jerusalem, “Solemnly promise me that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.”
Mujeres de Jerusalén, júrenme que no perturbarán nuestro amor hasta el momento oportuno.
5 Who is that [woman] who is coming up from the desert, (leaning on/clinging close to) the man who loves her? I woke you up [when you were] under the apple tree at the place where your mother conceived you, which is the same place where she gave birth to you.
¿Quién es éste que viene del desierto sosteniendo su amor cerca de ella? Mujer: Te desperté bajo el manzano donde tu madre te concibió y donde te dio a luz.
6 Keep me [close to you], like [SIM] a seal on your heart, [or] like [SIM] a bracelet on your arm. Our love [for each other] is as powerful as death, it is as enduring as the grave. [It is as though] our love [for each other] bursts into flames and burns like a hot fire. (Sheol h7585)
Pon mi nombre como un sello en tu corazón, como un sello en tu brazo, porque el amor es fuerte como la muerte, la pasión tan inquebrantable como el sepulcro; sus flechas brillan como el fuego, una llama ardiente del Señor. (Sheol h7585)
7 Nothing can extinguish our love [for each other], not [even] a flood. If a man tried to cause a woman to love him by saying he would give her everything that is in his house, she would refuse.
Las inundaciones de agua no pueden extinguir el amor; los ríos no pueden sumergirlo. Si un hombre ofreciera todo lo que posee para comprar el amor, sería totalmente rechazado.
8 We have a younger sister, and her breasts are still small. So this is [RHQ] what we should do for her on the day that we promise [some young man] that he can marry her:
Tenemos una hermana menor cuyos pechos son todavía pequeños. ¿Qué haremos por nuestra hermana cuando alguien nos pida matrimonio?
9 If [her chest is flat like] [MET] a wall, we will [decorate it by] putting silver [jewels that are like] [MET] towers on it. Or, if she is [flat like] [MET] a door, we will decorate her with bits/pieces of cedar wood.
Si ella fuera una pared, construiríamos sobre ella una torre de plata. Pero si fuera una puerta, le cerraríamos el paso con tablas de cedro.
10 My [chest was previously flat like] [MET] a wall, [but now] my breasts are [big] like [SIM] towers. So the one who loves me is delighted with me.
Soy una pared, y mis pechos son como torres. ¡Por eso cuando él me mira es feliz!
11 [King] Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon, and he rented it to people for them to take care of it. He required each one to pay him 1,000 pieces of silver [each year] for the grapes [that they harvested].
Salomón tenía un viñedo en Baal-hamón que arrendaba a agricultores arrendatarios. Cada uno de ellos le pagaba mil monedas de plata por el fruto que producía.
12 [But my body is like] [MET] my own vineyard, and Solomon, I am giving it to you. [You do not need to pay me] 1,000 pieces of silver [to enjoy my body], but I will give 200 pieces of silver to those who take care of me [MET].
Pero mi viña es mía, es sólo mía. Mil monedas de plata son para ti, Salomón, y doscientas para los que la cuidan.
13 You are staying in the gardens and my friends are listening to your voice; [so] allow me to hear it, [too.]
Querida, sentada allí en los jardines con compañeros escuchándote... ¡Por favor, háblame a mi!
14 You who love me, come [to me] quickly; [run to me] [MET, EUP] as fast as [SIM] a gazelle or young deer runs across [MET] hills of spices.
¡Ven rápido, mi amor! Sé como una gacela o un joven ciervo en las montañas de las especias.
