Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

6:1
אָ֚נָה הָלַ֣ךְ דּוֹדֵ֔ךְ הַיָּפָ֖ה בַּנָּשִׁ֑ים אָ֚נָה פָּנָ֣ה דוֹדֵ֔ךְ וּנְבַקְשֶׁ֖נּוּ עִמָּֽךְ׃
ποῦ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφιδός σου ἡ καλὴ ἐν γυναιξίν ποῦ ἀπέβλεψεν ὁ ἀδελφιδός σου καὶ ζητήσομεν αὐτὸν μετὰ σοῦ
Dilectus meus descendit in hortum suum ad areolam aromatum, ut pascatur in hortis, et lilia colligat.
ወትቤ፡ መርዓት፡ አይቴ፡ ሖረ፡ ወልድ፡ እኁየ፡ አዋልደ፡ ኢየሩሳሌም። ወትቤ፡ አግሲጦስ፡ አይቴ፡ ኀለፈ፡ ወልድ፡ እኁኪ፡ ወንኅሥሦ፡ ምስሌኪ።
Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?
6:2
דּוֹדִי֙ יָרַ֣ד לְגַנּ֔וֹ לַעֲרֻג֖וֹת הַבֹּ֑שֶׂם לִרְעוֹת֙ בַּגַּנִּ֔ים וְלִלְקֹ֖ט שֽׁוֹשַׁנִּֽים׃
ἀδελφιδός μου κατέβη εἰς κῆπον αὐτοῦ εἰς φιάλας τοῦ ἀρώματος ποιμαίνειν ἐν κήποις καὶ συλλέγειν κρίνα
Ego dilecto meo, et dilectus meus mihi, qui pascitur inter lilia.
ወልድ፡ እኁየ፡ ወረደ፡ ውስተ፡ ገነቱ። ውስተ፡ አብያተ፡ አፈው። ይርአይ፡ ገነተ፡ ወያስተጋብእ፡ ጽጌያት።
My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
6:3
אֲנִ֤י לְדוֹדִי֙ וְדוֹדִ֣י לִ֔י הָרֹעֶ֖ה בַּשּׁוֹשַׁנִּֽים׃ {ס}
ἐγὼ τῷ ἀδελφιδῷ μου καὶ ἀδελφιδός μου ἐμοὶ ὁ ποιμαίνων ἐν τοῖς κρίνοις
Pulchra es, amica mea ; suavis, et decora sicut Jerusalem ; terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata.
ናሁ፡ አንቲኒ፡ እንተ፡ ኀቤየ፡ ከመ፡ ሥምረት።
I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine. He browses among the lilies.
6:4
יָפָ֨ה אַ֤תְּ רַעְיָתִי֙ כְּתִרְצָ֔ה נָאוָ֖ה כִּירוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם אֲיֻמָּ֖ה כַּנִּדְגָּלֽוֹת׃
καλὴ εἶ ἡ πλησίον μου ὡς εὐδοκία ὡραία ὡς Ιερουσαλημ θάμβος ὡς τεταγμέναι
Averte oculos tuos a me, quia ipsi me avolare fecerunt. Capilli tui sicut grex caprarum quae apparuerunt de Galaad.
አዳም፡ ከመ፡ ኢየሩሳሌም። መደንግፅት፡ ከመ፡ ሥርዐት።
You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.
6:5
הָסֵ֤בִּי עֵינַ֙יִךְ֙ מִנֶּגְדִּ֔י שֶׁ֥הֵ֖ם הִרְהִיבֻ֑נִי שַׂעְרֵךְ֙ כְּעֵ֣דֶר הָֽעִזִּ֔ים שֶׁגָּלְשׁ֖וּ מִן־הַגִּלְעָֽד׃
ἀπόστρεψον ὀφθαλμούς σου ἀπεναντίον μου ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἀνεπτέρωσάν με τρίχωμά σου ὡς ἀγέλαι τῶν αἰγῶν αἳ ἀνεφάνησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ Γαλααδ
Dentes tui sicut grex ovium quae ascenderunt de lavacro : omnes gemellis foetibus, et sterilis non est in eis.
ሚጢ፡ አዕይንተኪ፡ እምአንጻርየ። እስመ፡ እማንቱ፡ አስረራኒ፡ ውስተ፡ አየር።
Turn 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.
6:6
שִׁנַּ֙יִךְ֙ כְּעֵ֣דֶר הָֽרְחֵלִ֔ים שֶׁעָל֖וּ מִן־הָרַחְצָ֑ה שֶׁכֻּלָּם֙ מַתְאִימ֔וֹת וְשַׁכֻּלָ֖ה אֵ֥ין בָּהֶֽם׃
ὀδόντες σου ὡς ἀγέλαι τῶν κεκαρμένων αἳ ἀνέβησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ λουτροῦ αἱ πᾶσαι διδυμεύουσαι καὶ ἀτεκνοῦσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐταῖς
Sicut cortex mali punici, sic genae tuae, absque occultis tuis.
ሥዕርትኪ፡ ከመ፡ መርዔተ፡ አጣሊ። እለ፡ አስተርአያ፡ እምአድባረ፡ ገለዓድ። ስነንኪ፡ ከመ፡ መራዕይ፡ እለ፡ ተቀርፃ። እለ፡ ዐርጋ፡ እምኅፃብ። ኵሎን፡ እለ፡ ይመነትዋ። ወአልቦ፡ እምኔሆን፡ መካን።
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing, of which every one has twins; not one is bereaved among them.
6:7
כְּפֶ֤לַח הָרִמּוֹן֙ רַקָּתֵ֔ךְ מִבַּ֖עַד לְצַמָּתֵֽךְ׃
ὡς σπαρτίον τὸ κόκκινον χείλη σου καὶ ἡ λαλιά σου ὡραία ὡς λέπυρον τῆς ῥόας μῆλόν σου ἐκτὸς τῆς σιωπήσεώς σου
Sexaginta sunt reginae, et octoginta concubinae, et adolescentularum non est numerus.
ከመ፡ ፍሕሶ፡ ቀይሕ፡ ከናፍርኪ። ንባብኪ፡ አዳም። ከመ፡ ቅርፍተ፡ ሮማን፡ መላትሕኪ፡ እንበለ፡ አርምሞትኪ።
Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
6:8
שִׁשִּׁ֥ים הֵ֙מָּה֙ מְלָכ֔וֹת וּשְׁמֹנִ֖ים פִּֽילַגְשִׁ֑ים וַעֲלָמ֖וֹת אֵ֥ין מִסְפָּֽר׃
ἑξήκοντά εἰσιν βασίλισσαι καὶ ὀγδοήκοντα παλλακαί καὶ νεάνιδες ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός
Una est columba mea, perfecta mea, una est matris suae, electa genetrici suae. Viderunt eam filiae, et beatissimam praedicaverunt ; reginae et concubinae, et laudaverunt eam.
ስሳ፡ እማንቱ፡ ንግሥታት፡ ወሰማኒያ፡ ዕቁባት። አዋልድ፡ እለ፡ አልቦን፡ ኍልቊ።
There are sixty queens, eighty concubines, and virgins without number.
6:9
אַחַ֥ת הִיא֙ יוֹנָתִ֣י תַמָּתִ֔י אַחַ֥ת הִיא֙ לְאִמָּ֔הּ בָּרָ֥ה הִ֖יא לְיֽוֹלַדְתָּ֑הּ רָא֤וּהָ בָנוֹת֙ וַֽיְאַשְּׁר֔וּהָ מְלָכ֥וֹת וּפִֽילַגְשִׁ֖ים וַֽיְהַלְלֽוּהָ׃ {ס}
μία ἐστὶν περιστερά μου τελεία μου μία ἐστὶν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς ἐκλεκτή ἐστιν τῇ τεκούσῃ αὐτῆς εἴδοσαν αὐτὴν θυγατέρες καὶ μακαριοῦσιν αὐτήν βασίλισσαι καὶ παλλακαὶ καὶ αἰνέσουσιν αὐτήν
Quae est ista quae progreditur quasi aurora consurgens, pulchra ut luna, electa ut sol, terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata ?
አሐቲ፡ ይእቲ፡ ርግብየ፡ ፍጽምት። ክነፊሃ፡ ክንፈ፡ ብሩር። ወገበዋቲሃኒ፡ በሐመልማለ፡ ወርቅ።
My 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 saw her, and they praised her.
6:10
מִי־זֹ֥את הַנִּשְׁקָפָ֖ה כְּמוֹ־שָׁ֑חַר יָפָ֣ה כַלְּבָנָ֗ה בָּרָה֙ כַּֽחַמָּ֔ה אֲיֻמָּ֖ה כַּנִּדְגָּלֽוֹת׃ {ס}
τίς αὕτη ἡ ἐκκύπτουσα ὡσεὶ ὄρθρος καλὴ ὡς σελήνη ἐκλεκτὴ ὡς ὁ ἥλιος θάμβος ὡς τεταγμέναι
Descendi in hortum nucum, ut viderem poma convallium, et inspicerem si floruisset vinea, et germinassent mala punica.
አሐቲ፡ ይእቲ፡ ለእማ። ወኅሪት፡ ይእቲ፡ ለእንተ፡ ወለደታ። ርእያሃ፡ አዋልድ፡ ወአስተብፅዓሃ። ንግሥታት፡ ወዕቁባት፡ ወደሳሃ።
Who is she who looks out as the morning, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, and awesome as an army with banners?
6:11
אֶל־גִּנַּ֤ת אֱגוֹז֙ יָרַ֔דְתִּי לִרְא֖וֹת בְּאִבֵּ֣י הַנָּ֑חַל לִרְאוֹת֙ הֲפָֽרְחָ֣ה הַגֶּ֔פֶן הֵנֵ֖צוּ הָרִמֹּנִֽים׃
εἰς κῆπον καρύας κατέβην ἰδεῖν ἐν γενήμασιν τοῦ χειμάρρου ἰδεῖν εἰ ἤνθησεν ἡ ἄμπελος ἐξήνθησαν αἱ ῥόαι ἐκεῖ δώσω τοὺς μαστούς μου σοί
Nescivi : anima mea conturbavit me, propter quadrigas Aminadab.
መኑ፡ ይእቲ፡ ዛቲ፡ እንተ፡ እንተ፡ ትሔውጽ፡ ከመ፡ ጎሕ። ሠናይት፡ ከመ፡ ወርኀ። ወብርህት፡ ከመ፡ ፀሓይ። ወሑረታቲሃ፡ በምሥጢር። ድንጋፄ፡ ከመ፡ ሥርዐት።
I 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.
6:12
לֹ֣א יָדַ֔עְתִּי נַפְשִׁ֣י שָׂמַ֔תְנִי מַרְכְּב֖וֹת עַמִּ֥י נָדִֽיב׃
οὐκ ἔγνω ἡ ψυχή μου ἔθετό με ἅρματα Αμιναδαβ
Revertere, revertere, Sulamitis ! revertere, revertere ut intueamur te.

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