Text and translations

Latin text 2:1  Ego flos campi et lilium convallium. 2:2  Sicut lilium inter spinas sic amica mea inter filias. 2:3a  Sicut malus inter ligna silvarum, sic dilectus meus inter filios. 2:3b  Sub umbra illius quem desideraveram sedi, et fructus ejus dulcis gutturi meo. 2:4  Introduxit me Rex in cellam vinariam ordinavit in me charitatem. 2:5  Fulcite me floribus, stipate me malis quia amore langueo. 4:12  Hortus conclusus soror mea sponsa, hortus conclusus fons signatus. 4:15  Fons hortorum puteus aquarum viventium quae fluunt impetu de Libano Hungarian translation Virág vagyok a mezőn, és liliom a völgyben. Amilyen a liliom a tövisek között, olyan a kedvesem a leányok között. A kert forrása és az élő vizek kútja, amelyek a Libanonról folynak.

English translation 2:1  I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. 2:2  As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. 2:3a  As the apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. 2:3b  I sat down under his shadow with great delight: and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 2:4  He brought me into the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. 2:5  Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: because I am sick of love. 4:12  A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. 4:15  A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
