1 Oh that you were like my ach (brother/kinsman), who yanaq (nursed) from the shaday (breasts) of my am (mother)! If I matzaa (found) you outside, I would nashaq (kiss) you; yes, and no one would bawaz (despise) me.
2 I would nahag (lead) you, bawaa (bring) you into my am (mother) bayath (house), who would lamad (teach / instruct) me. I would have you shaqah (drink) raqach (spiced) yayan (wine), of the isayas (juice) of my ramawan (pomegranate).
3 His left shamaawal (left hand) would be under my raash (head). His right yamayan (right hand) would chabaq (embrace) me.
4 I shabai (swear / take oath) you, banawath (daughters) of Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem), that you not iwar (rouse / awaken) up, nor awaken ahabah (love), until it so chapatz (desires). Friends
5 Who is this who ilah (go up / offer) up from the madabar (wilderness), rapaq (leaning) on her dawad (beloved)? Under the thapawach (apple) tree I aroused you. There your am (mother) conceived you. There she was in yalad (birth / begot) and bore you.
6 Shawam (place / establish / appoint) me as a chawatham (seal) on your lab (heart), as a chawatham (seal) on your zarawai (arm); for ahabah (love) is iz (strong) as mawath (death). Qanaah (jealousy) is as qashah (rough / hard) as shaawal (Sheol / afterlife). Its flashes are flashes of ash (fire), a very flame of Yahawah ().
7 Many mayam (Waters) can't kabah (quench) ahabah (love), neither can naharawath (floods) shatap (drown) it. If a ayash (man / husband) nathan (give) give all the hawan (wealth) of his bayath (house) for ahabah (love), he would be bawaz (utterly) scorned. Friends
8 We have a qatan (small / young / least) achawath (sister). She has no shadayam (breasts). What shall we ishah (make) for our achawath (sister) in the yawam (day) when she is to be dabar (word / matter) for?
9 If she is a chawamah (wall), we will banah (build) on her a turret of kasap (silver). If she is a dalath (door), we will enclose her with lawach (boards) of araz (cedar). Beloved
10 I am a chawamah (wall), and my shad (breasts) like magadalawath (towers), then I was in his iyan (eye) like one who matzaa (found) shalawam (peace / safety).
11 Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) had a karam (vineyard) at Bailahamawan (Baal Hamon). He leased out the karam (vineyard) to natarayam (keepers). Ayash (man / husband) was to bawaa (bring) a alap (thousand) shekels of kasap (silver) for its paray (fruit).
12 My own karam (vineyard) is panayam (face) me. The alap (thousand) are for you, Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch); two maah (hundred) for those who tend its paray (fruit). Lover
13 You who yashab (inhabit/dwell) in the ganayam (gardens), with friends in attendance, let me qashab (hear) your qawal (sound / voice)! Beloved
14 Come barach (away), my dawad (beloved)! Be damah (like) a gazelle or a ipar (young) stag on the haray (mountains) of bashamayam (spices)!
