OET-RV SNG Chapter 2

OET ◄ SNG 2 ► ║ ═ ©

This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

2 I’m a wildflower of Sharon.

≈ A lily of the valleys.

The groom

2 My darling is among the young women

like a lily among the thorns.

The bride

3 Like an apple tree among the trees in the forest,

so is my dearest among the young men.

In his shadow I greatly delighted, and I sat,

and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

4 He brought me to the house of food and wine

and his desire for me is to show love.

5 Sustain me with raisin cakes.

≈ Refresh me with apples,

because I’m weak with love.

6 His left hand is under my head,

^ and his right arm embraces me.

7 Promise me, you young women from Yerushalem (Jerusalem)

by the female gazelles or the does in the countryside,

don’t awaken or stir love until it’s the right time.

2:8 The second song

The bride

8 Listen, my dearest is coming,

leaping over the mountains,

≈ jumping over the hills.

9 My dearest is being like a gazelle or a young stag.

Look, that one is standing behind our wall,

gazing through the windows—

≈ looking through the lattices.

10 My dearest answered and said to me,

“Stand up, my darling, my beauty, and come,

11 because, look, the winter is over.

The rain has passed—

≈ it went away.

12 Blossoms have appeared across the land.

The time of birds tweeting has arrived,

≈ and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

13 The fig tree ripens its green figs,

≈ and the grapevines are in blossom.

They give off a scent.

Stand up, my beautiful darling and come.

14 My dove, in the holes in the rocks,

≈ in the hiding places of the cliff,

Show me your appearance,

≈ make me hear your voice,

because your voice is sweet, and you look lovely.

15 Catch the foxes for us—

the little foxes that destroy the vineyards,

and our vineyards are in blossom.

2:16 The woman’s dream

The bride

16 My dearest belongs to me and I belong to him—

the man grazing among the lilies.

17 Until the daylight arrives and the shadows flee, turn.

My dearest resembles a gazelle or a young stag on the rugged mountains.
