| 1 نَشِيدُ الأَنْشَادِ الَّذِي لِسُلَيْمَانَ: | 1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's. |
|
|
| 2 لِيُقَبِّلْنِي بِقُبْلاَتِ فَمِهِ، لأَنَّ حُبَّكَ أَطْيَبُ مِنَ الْخَمْرِ. | 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. |
|
|
|
3 لِرَائِحَةِ أَدْهَانِكَ الطَّيِّبَةِ. اسْمُكَ دُهْنٌ مُهْرَاقٌ، لِذلِكَ أَحَبَّتْكَ الْعَذَارَى.  | 3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. |
|
|
| 4 اُجْذُبْنِي وَرَاءَكَ فَنَجْرِيَ. أَدْخَلَنِي الْمَلِكُ إِلَى حِجَالِهِ. نَبْتَهِجُ وَنَفْرَحُ بِكَ. نَذْكُرُ حُبَّكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْخَمْرِ. بِالْحَقِّ يُحِبُّونَكَ. | 4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. |
|
|
| 5 أَنَا سَوْدَاءُ وَجَمِيلَةٌ يَا بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، كَخِيَامِ قِيدَارَ، كَشُقَقِ سُلَيْمَانَ. | 5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. |
|
|
| 6 لاَ تَنْظُرْنَ إِلَيَّ لِكَوْنِي سَوْدَاءَ، لأَنَّ الشَّمْسَ قَدْ لَوَّحَتْنِي. بَنُو أُمِّي غَضِبُوا عَلَيَّ. جَعَلُونِي نَاطُورَةَ الْكُرُومِ. أَمَّا كَرْمِي فَلَمْ أَنْطُرْهُ. | 6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. |
|
|
| 7 أَخْبِرْنِي يَا مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ نَفْسِي، أَيْنَ تَرْعَى، أَيْنَ تُرْبِضُ عِنْدَ الظَّهِيرَةِ. لِمَاذَا أَنَا أَكُونُ كَمُقَنَّعَةٍ عِنْدَ قُطْعَانِ أَصْحَابِكَ؟ | 7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? |
|
|
|
| 8 إِنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفِي أَيَّتُهَا الْجَمِيلَةُ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ، فَاخْرُجِي عَلَى آثَارِ الْغَنَمِ، وَارْعَيْ جِدَاءَكِ عِنْدَ مَسَاكِنِ الرُّعَاةِ. | 8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. |
|
|
| 9 لَقَدْ شَبَّهْتُكِ يَا حَبِيبَتِي بِفَرَسٍ فِي مَرْكَبَاتِ فِرْعَوْنَ. | 9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. |
|
|
|
| 10 مَا أَجْمَلَ خَدَّيْكِ بِسُمُوطٍ، وَعُنُقَكِ بِقَلاَئِدَ! | 10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. |
|
|
| 11 نَصْنَعُ لَكِ سَلاَسِلَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مَعَ جُمَانٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ. | 11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. |
|
|
| 12 مَا دَامَ الْمَلِكُ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ أَفَاحَ نَارِدِينِي رَائِحَتَهُ. | 12 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. |
|
|
| 13 صُرَّةُ الْمُرِّ حَبِيبِي لِي. بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ يَبِيتُ. | 13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. |
|
|
| 14 طَاقَةُ فَاغِيَةٍ حَبِيبِي لِي فِي كُرُومِ عَيْنِ جَدْيٍ. | 14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. |
|
|
| 15 هَا أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةٌ يَا حَبِيبَتِي، هَا أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةٌ. عَيْنَاكِ حَمَامَتَانِ. | 15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes. |
|
|
| 16 هَا أَنْتَ جَمِيلٌ يَا حَبِيبِي وَحُلْوٌ، وَسَرِيرُنَا أَخْضَرُ. | 16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green. |
|
|
| 17 جَوَائِزُ بَيْتِنَا أَرْزٌ، وَرَوَافِدُنَا سَرْوٌ. | 17 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir. |
