This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

1The song to beat all songs by Shelomoh (Solomon).[ref]

1:2The first song

The bride

2Let him kiss me on the lips,

because your caresses are better than wine.

3As for the fragrance of your perfumes—they’re good.

Your reputation is like fragant oil

so the eligible young women love you.

4Take me with you—let’s run.

May the king has brought me to his bedroom.

Yerushalem’s young women

Let’s be happy and celebrate with you.

We will praise your love more than wine.

The bride

It’s right that they love you.

5I am black but lovely, daughters of Yerushalem,

like the tents in Kedar.

Like Shelomoh’s palace curtains.

6Don’t look at me, that I’m black.

That the sun scorched me.

My brothers were angry with me.

They forced me to look after our vineyards—

but I haven’t maintained my own vineyard.

7Declare to me, you who my heart loves.

Where do you graze?

Where do you make your flocks lie down at noontime?

Why should I be like a woman who covers herself beside your companions’ flocks?

The groom

8If you don’t know, most beautiful among women,

follow the footprints of the flock,

and graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.


9I liken you, my darling,

to a mare walking among Far’oh’s (Pharaoh’s) stallions hitched to chariots.

10Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings.

Your neck is beautiful with necklaces.

Yerushalem’s young women

11We’ll make gold earrings

with silver studs.

The bride

12While the king was on his couch,

my perfume gave off its fragrance.

13My dearest is like a perfume sachet

that stays between my breasts.

14My dearest is like a cluster of henna blossoms to me,

in the Engedi vineyards.

The groom

15Wow, you’re beautiful, my darling.

Look at you, beautiful, with your doves’ eyes.

The bride

16Look at you. You’re handsome, my dearest, truly pleasant.

Indeed, our couch is comfortable.

17The beams of our house are cedar.

Our rafters are pine.


1:1: 1Ki 4:32.
