8:5 The sixth song
The bride
Under the apple tree I awakened you.
Your mother was in labour with you there.
There she was in labour—she gave birth to you.
6 Place me like the seal on your heart,
like the seal on your arm,
because live is strong like death.
Zeal is unyielding like the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire—Yah’s flame.
7 Many waters aren’t able to quench this love
If a man would give all the family’s wealth in exchange for love,
he’d be utterly despised.
Bride’s older brothers
8 We have a young sister—
small and without her breasts developed.
What will we do for our sister
on the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she’s a wall,[fn] we’ll build a silver turret on her.
And if she is a door, we’ll protect her with cedar planks.
The bride
10 I was a wall and my breasts were like towers.
Then, in his eyes, I was like a person who finds peace.
11 There was a vineyard for Solomon at Baal-Hamon.
He gave the vineyard to keepers.
Each person brought a thousand silver coins in exchange for its fruit.
12 My own vineyard is right in front of me.
Those thousand coins belong to you, Shelomoh (Solomon),
and the two hundred belong to the people who are keepers of its fruit.
