1Where is youⁱ beloved gone, O youⁱ fairest among women? to which is youⁱ beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with youⁱ.

2My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

3I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] my: he feeds among the lilies.

4youⁱ [are] beautiful, O my love, as Tirtzah [Favourable], comely (attractive; proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular); becoming) as Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], terrible as [an army] with banners.

5Turn away youⁱ eyes from me, for they have overcome me: youⁱ hair [is] as a flock of goats that appear from Gil’ad [Rocky Region].

6You1s teeth [are] as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one bears twins, and [there is] not one barren among them.

7As a piece of a pomegranate [are] youⁱ temples within youⁱ locks.

8There are threescore queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

9My dove, my undefiled is [but] one; she [is] the [only] one of her mother, she [is] the choice [one] of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) her; [yes], the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

10Who [is] she [that] looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, [and] terrible as [an army] with banners?

11I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, [and] to see whether the vine flourished, [and] the pomegranates budded.

12Or ever I was aware, my soul made me [like] the chariots of Ami [bond-servant]-Nadiv [my people are willing].

13Return, return, O Shulamit (girl from Shulam) [the peaceful, or perfect]; return, return, that we may look upon youⁱ. What will you^2f see in the Shulamit (girl from Shulam) [the peaceful, or perfect]? As it were the company of two armies.
