Parallel
Song of Solomon 8
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
τίς δῴη σε ἀδελφιδόν μου, θηλάζοντα μαστοὺς μητρός μους εὑροῦσά σε ἔξω φιλήσω σε, καί γε οὐκ ἐξουδενώσουσίν μοι.
O that you were to me like a brother who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.
παραλήμψομαί σε, εἰσάξω σε εἰς οἶκον μητρός μου καὶ εἰς ταμεῖον τῆς συλλαβούσης με· ποτιῶ σε ἀπὸ οἴνου τοῦ μυρεψικοῦ,
I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.
εὐώνυμος αὐτοῦ ὑπὸ τὴν κεφαλὴν μου. ἀπὸ νάματος ῥοῶν σου. καὶ ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτοῦ περιλήμψεταί με.
His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
Ὥρκισα ὑμᾶς, θυγατέρες Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἐν ταῖς δυνάμεσιν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἰσχύσεσιν τοῦ ἀγροῦ, ἐὰν ἐγείρητε καὶ ἐξεγείρητε τὴν ἀγάπην ἕως ἂυ θελήσῃ.
O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
Τίς αὕτη ἡ ἀναβαίνουσα λελευκαθισμένη. ἐπιστηριζομένη ἐπὶ τὸν ἀδελφιδὸν αὐτῆς; Ὑπὸ μῆλον ἐξήγειρά σε· ἐκεῖ ὠδίνησέν σε ἡ μήτηρ σου, ἐκεῖ ὠδίνησέν σε ἡ τεκοῦσά σου.
Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.
θές με ὡς σφραγῖδα ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν σου, ὡς σφραγῖδα ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονά σου· ὅτι κραταιὰ ὡς θάνατος ἀγάπη, σκληρὸς ὡς ᾂδης ζῆλος· περίπτερα αὐτῆς περίπτερα πυρός, φλόγες αὐτῆς·
Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy (note: Or passion) as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all.
ὕδωρ πολὺ οὐ δυνήσεται σβέσαι τὴυ ἀγάπην, καὶ ποταμοὶ οὐ συνκλύσουσιν αὐτήν. ἐὰν δῷ ἀνὴρ τὸν πάντα βίον αὐτοῦ ἐν τῆ ἀγάπῃ, ἐξουδενώσει ἐξουδενώσουσιν αὐτόν.
Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.
Ἀδελφὴ ἡμῖν μικρὰ καὶ μαστοὺς οὐκ ἔχει. τί ποιήσωμεν τῇ ἀδελφῇ ἡμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐὰν λαληθῇ ἐν αὐτῇ;
We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?
εἰ τεῖχός ἐστιν, οἰκοδομήσωμεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἐπάλξεις ἀργυρᾶς· καὶ εἰ θύρα ἐστίν, διαγράψωμεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν σανίδα κεδρίνην.
If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver upon her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
Ἐγὼ τεῖχος, καὶ μαστοί μου πύργοι· ἐγὼ ἤμην ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτῶν ὡς εὑρίσκουσα εἰρήνην.
I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.
ἀμπελὼν ἐγενήθη τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἐν Βεεθλαμών· ἔδωκεν τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ τοῖς τηροῦσιν, ἀνὴρ οἴσει ἐν καρπῷ αὐτοῦ χιλίους ἀργυρίου.
Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver (note: Hebrew a thousand of silver; that is, approximately 25.1 pounds or 11.4 kilograms of silver).
ἀμπελών μου ἐμὸς ἐνώπιόν μου· οἱ χίλιοι Σαλωμών, καὶ οἱ διακόσιοι τοῖς τηροῦσι τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ.
But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.
Ὁ καθήμενος ἐν κήποις, ἑταῖροι προσέχοντες τῇ φωνῇ σου· ἀκούτισόν με.
You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!
Φύγε, ἀδελφιδέ μου, καὶ ὁμοιώθητι τῇ δορκάδι ἡ τῷ νεβρῷ τῶν ἐλάφων ἐπὶ ὄρη ἀρωμάτων.
Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
