Pieśń nad Pieśniami 5
1 Wszedłem do mojego ogrodu, moja siostro, [moja] oblubienico. Zbierałem moją mirrę z moimi wonnościami; zjadłem mój plaster z moim miodem, piję moje wino z moim mlekiem. Jedzcie, przyjaciele, pijcie, a pijcie obficie, moi mili.
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.
2 Ja śpię, ale moje serce czuwa. [Oto] głos mego umiłowanego, który puka i [mówi]: Otwórz mi, moja siostro, moja umiłowana, moja gołębico, moja nieskalana. Moja głowa bowiem jest pełna rosy, moje kędziory – kropli nocy.
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.”
3 Zdjęłam już swoją suknię, jakże mam ją wkładać? Umyłam swoje nogi, jakże mam je pobrudzić?
[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.
4 Mój umiłowany wsunął swoją rękę przez otwór, a moje wnętrze poruszyło się we mnie.
The one who loves me put his hand through the opening [in the wall], and I was thrilled [that he was there].
5 Wstałam, aby otworzyć mojemu umiłowanemu, a oto z moich rąk kapała mirra, z moich palców mirra spływała na uchwyt zasuwy.
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.
6 Otworzyłam mojemu umiłowanemu, lecz mój umiłowany [już] odszedł i zniknął. Moja dusza zasłabła na jego głos. Szukałam go, ale nie znalazłam, wołałam go, ale mi nie odpowiedział.
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.
7 Znaleźli mnie strażnicy, którzy obchodzili miasto; pobili mnie i zranili, strażnicy murów zabrali mi zasłonę.
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.
8 Zaklinam was, córki Jerozolimy: Jeśli znajdziecie mojego umiłowanego, to powiedzcie mu, że jestem chora z miłości.
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.
9 Czym przewyższa twój umiłowany [innych] umiłowanych, o najpiękniejsza wśród kobiet? Czym przewyższa twój umiłowany [innych] umiłowanych, że tak nas zaklinasz?
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?
10 Mój umiłowany jest biały i rumiany, i najznakomitszy spośród dziesięciu tysięcy.
The man who loves me is handsome and healthy, (outstanding among/better than) (10,000/an uncountable number of) [other men].

His head is [beautiful, like] [MET] purest gold; his hair is wavy and as black as [SIM] a raven/crow.
12 Jego oczy są jak gołębice nad strumieniami wody, [jakby] umyte w mleku, osadzone w swej oprawie.
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.
13 Jego policzki jak grządka wonności, [jak] pachnące kwiatki; jego wargi jak lilie ociekające wyborną mirrą.
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.
14 Jego ręce [jak] złote pierścienie wysadzone berylem; jego tors [jak] jasna kość słoniowa pokryta szafirem.
