Song of Solomon Chapter 6:1-6 Translation


Translators of the books in the Bible where daunted with the task of translating the Hebrew text into English; performing this task the translators translated each word segment and them came back through and formed sentences straight forward. However, Hebrew is written from left to right which means each sentence should be read starting at the end to the beginning. I challenged this test with the first 6 verses of the Song of Solomon and what I found was much different in meaning than the song of love for a woman. ENJOY and LISTEN
Song of Solomon Chapter 6
1 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy 
beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.
2 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
3 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.
4 Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.
5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
6 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.
My Translation
6:1 We shall seek him with you I turned to the darling of you, I turned to the lovely one in this woman, I turned. 6:2 The light in the variety of flowers in the gardens which to graze of the aromas in his garden, in his bed he descended my darling of me (my beloved). 6:3 The multi-color faceted flowers I graze upon my darling on of me, my darling one with me. 6:4 As the standard bearers of Jerusalem are dreadful; the lovely shepherdess of you sweet, and is my delight. 6:5 From Gilead those goats who glister drove off from the hair and boldness of you from in front of me; turn your head. 6:6 You (GOD) are not in them the bereaved ones having twins, a washing of all of them to ascend as lambs; those who have been drove off from you by the teeth of you.
