29 Heb “with me.”
30 Heb “I have peace offerings.” The peace offerings refer to the meat left over from the votive offering made at the sanctuary (e.g., Lev 7:11–21). Apparently the sacrificial worship meant as little to this woman spiritually as does Christmas to modern hypocrites who follow in her pattern. By expressing that she has peace offerings, she could be saying nothing more than that she has fresh meat for a meal at home, or that she was ceremonially clean, perhaps after her period. At any rate, it is all probably a ruse for winning a customer.
31 Heb “to look diligently for your face.”
32 Heb “with spreads.” The sentence begins with the cognate accusative: “with spreads I have spread my bed.” The construction enhances the idea—she has covered her bed.
33 The feminine noun means “dark-hued stuffs” ( 310 חֲטֻבוֹת). The form is a passive participle from a supposed root II חָטַב (khatav), which in Arabic means to be of a turbid, dusky color mixed with yellowish red. Its Aramaic cognate means “variegated”; cf. “with brocaded cloths of Egyptian linen.” ’s translation of this colon is unsatifactory: “with dark hued stuffs of yarn from Egypt.”
34 The form נִרְוֶה (nirveh) is the plural cohortative; following the imperative “come” the form expresses the hortatory “let’s.” The verb means “to be saturated; to drink one’s fill,” and can at times mean “to be intoxicated with.”
35 Heb “loves.” The word דּוֹד (dod) means physical love or lovemaking. It is found frequently in the Song of Solomon for the loved one, the beloved. Here the form (literally, “loves”) is used in reference to multiple acts of sexual intercourse, as the phrase “until morning” suggests.
36 The form is the Hitpael cohortative of עָלַס (’alas), which means “to rejoice.” Cf. “let’s enjoy ourselves.”
37 Heb “with love.”
38 Heb “the man.” The interpreted it as “my husband,” taking the article to be used as a possessive. Many English versions do the same.
39 Heb “in his house.”
40 Heb “in his hand.”
41 Heb “he will come back at.”
42 Heb “new moon.” Judging from the fact that the husband took a purse of money and was staying away until the next full moon, the woman implies that they would be safe in their escapade. If v. 9 and v. 20 are any clue, he could be gone for about two weeks—until the moon is full again.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“I had to offer sacrifices,

and today I have paid my vows;

so now I have come out to meet you,

to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.

I have spread my couch with coverings,

colored linens from Egyptian linen;

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,

aloes, and cinnamon.

Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;

let us delight ourselves with love.

For my husband is not at home;

he has gone on a long journey;

he took a bag of money with him;

at full moon he will come home.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“Today I fulfilled my vows,

and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.

So I came out to meet you;

I looked for you and have found you!

I have covered my bed

with colored linens from Egypt.

I have perfumed my bed

with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.

Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning;

let’s enjoy ourselves with love!

My husband is not at home;

he has gone on a long journey.

He took his purse filled with money

and will not be home till full moon.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

“I’ve made fellowship offerings;

today I’ve fulfilled my vows.

So I came out to meet you,

to search for you, and I’ve found you.

I’ve spread coverings on my bed—

richly colored linen from Egypt.

I’ve perfumed my bed

with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Come, let’s drink deeply of lovemaking until morning.

Let’s feast on each other’s love!

My husband isn’t home;

he went on a long journey.

He took a bag of silver with him

and will come home at the time of the full moon.”

NLTNew Living Translation

“I’ve just made my peace offerings

and fulfilled my vows.

You’re the one I was looking for!

I came out to find you, and here you are!

My bed is spread with beautiful blankets,

with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.

I’ve perfumed my bed

with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.

Let’s enjoy each other’s caresses,

for my husband is not home.

He’s away on a long trip.

He has taken a wallet full of money with him

and won’t return until later this month.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Sacrifices of peace offerings are upon me;

today I completed my vows.

So I have come out to meet you,

to seek your face, and I have found you.

With coverings I have adorned my couch,

spreads of the linen of Egypt;

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,

aloes, and cinnamon.

Come, let us take our fill of love making,

until the morning let us delight in love.

For there is no man in his home;

he has gone on a long journey.

The bag of money he took in his hand,

for on the day of the full moon he will come home.”

KJV 1900King James Version

I have peace offerings with me;

This day have I payed my vows.

Therefore came I forth to meet thee,

Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,

With carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

I have perfumed my bed

With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning:

Let us solace ourselves with loves.

For the goodman is not at home,

He is gone a long journey:

He hath taken a bag of money with him,

And will come home at the day appointed.
