Cantar de los Cantares 6
1 ¿Dónde es ido tu amado, o! la más hermosa de todas las mujeres? ¿a dónde se apartó tu amado, y buscarle hemos contigo?
Whither is your kinsman gone, you beautiful among women? whither has your kinsman turned aside? [tell us], and we will seek him with you.
2 Mi amado descendió a su huerto a las eras de la especia, para apacentar en los huertos, y para coger los lirios.
My kinsman is gone down to his garden, to the beds of spice, to feed [his flock] in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
3 Yo soy de mi amado, y mi amado es mío, el cual apacienta entre los lirios.
I am my kinsman's, and my kinsman is mine, who feeds among the lilies.
4 Hermosa eres tú, o! amor mío, como Tirsa: de desear, como Jerusalem: espantosa, como banderas de ejércitos.
You are fair, my companion, as Pleasure, beautiful as Jerusalem, terrible as [armies] set in array.
5 Aparta tus ojos de delante de mí, porque ellos me vencieron. Tu cabello es como manada de cabras, que se muestran en Galaad.
Turn away your eyes from before me, for they have ravished me: your hair is as flocks of goats which have appeared from Galaad.
6 Tus dientes, como manada de ovejas, que suben del lavadero: que todas paren mellizos, y estéril no hay entre ellas.
Your teeth are as flocks of shorn [sheep], that have gone up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and there is none barren among them: your lips are as a thread of scarlet, and your speech is comely.
7 Como pedazos de granada son tus sienes entre tus copetes.
Your cheek is like the rind of a pomegranate, [being seen] without your veil.
8 Sesenta son las reinas, y ochenta las concubinas; y las doncellas sin cuento.
There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.
9 Mas una es la paloma mía, la perfecta mía: única es a su madre, escogida a la que la engendró: viéronla las hijas, y llamáronla bienaventurada: las reinas y las concubinas la alabaron.
My dove, my perfect one is one; she is the [only] one of her mother; she is the choice of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and the queens will pronounce her blessed, yes, and the concubines, and they will praise her.
10 ¿Quién es esta que se muestra como el alba, hermosa como la luna, ilustre como el sol, espantosa como banderas de ejércitos?
Who is this that looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, choice as the sun, terrible as [armies] set in array?
11 A la huerta de los nogales descendí, para ver los frutos del valle, para ver si brotaban las vides, si florecían los granados.
I went down to the garden of nuts, to look at the fruits of the valley, to see if the vine flowered, [if] the pomegranates blossomed.
12 No sé, mi alma me ha tornado como los carros de Aminadab.
There I will give you my breasts: my soul knew [it] not: it made me as the chariots of Aminadab.
13 Tórnate, tórnate, o! Sulamita: tórnate, tórnate, y mirarte hemos. ¿Qué veréis en la Sulamita? Como una compañía de reales.
Return, return, O Sunamite; return, return, and we will look at you. What will you see in the Sunamite? She comes as bands of armies.
