아가 5장 NASB
- 1 "I have come into my garden my sister my bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat friends; Drink and imbibe deeply O lovers."
- 2 "I was asleep but my heart was awake. A voice! My beloved was knocking: 'Open to me my sister my darling My dove my perfect one! For my head is drenched with dew My locks with the damp of the night.'
- 3 "I have taken off my dress How can I put it on again? I have washed my feet How can I dirty them again?
- 4 "My beloved extended his hand through the opening And my feelings were aroused for him.
- 5 "I arose to open to my beloved; And my hands dripped with myrrh And my fingers with liquid myrrh On the handles of the bolt.
- 6 "I opened to my beloved But my beloved had turned away and had gone! My heart went out to him as he spoke. I searched for him but I did not find him; I called him but he did not answer me.
- 7 "The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me They struck me and wounded me; The guardsmen of the walls took away my shawl from me.
- 8 "I adjure you O daughters of Jerusalem If you find my beloved As to what you will tell him: For I am lovesick."
- 9 "What kind of beloved is your beloved O most beautiful among women? What kind of beloved is your beloved That thus you adjure us?"
- 10 "My beloved is dazzling and ruddy Outstanding among ten thousand.
- 11 "His head is like gold pure gold; His locks are like clusters of dates And black as a raven.
- 12 "His eyes are like doves Beside streams of water Bathed in milk And reposed in their setting.
- 13 "His cheeks are like a bed of balsam Banks of sweet-scented herbs; His lips are lilies Dripping with liquid myrrh.
- 14 "His hands are rods of gold Set with beryl; His abdomen is carved ivory Inlaid with sapphires.
- 15 "His legs are pillars of alabaster Set on pedestals of pure gold; His appearance is like Lebanon Choice as the cedars.
- 16 "His mouth is full of sweetness. And he is wholly desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend O daughters of Jerusalem."
