He
11I went down to the grove of nut trees
to look at the new growth in the valley,
to see if the vines had budded
or the pomegranates were in bloom.c
12Before I realized it,
my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people.a
Friends
13Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
come back, come back, that we may gaze on you!
He
Why would you gaze on the Shulammite

ESVEnglish Standard Version
I went down to the nut orchard
to look at the blossoms of the valley,
to see whether the vines had budded,
whether the pomegranates were in bloom.
Before I was aware, my desire set me
among the chariots of my kinsman, a prince.
Return, return, O Shulammite,
return, return, that we may look upon you.
Why should you look upon the Shulammite,
as upon a dance before two armies?

CSBChristian Standard Bible
I came down to the walnut grove
to see the blossoms of the valley,
to see if the vines were budding
and the pomegranates blooming.
I didn’t know what was happening to me.
I felt like I was
in a chariot with a nobleman.
Come back, come back, Shulammite!
Come back, come back, that we may look at you!
How you gaze at the Shulammite,
as you look at the dance of the two camps!

NLTNew Living Translation
I went down to the grove of walnut trees
and out to the valley to see the new spring growth,
to see whether the grapevines had budded
or the pomegranates were in bloom.
Before I realized it,
my strong desires had taken me to the chariot of a noble man.
Return, return to us, O maid of Shulam.
Come back, come back, that we may see you again.
Why do you stare at this young woman of Shulam,
as she moves so gracefully between two lines of dancers?

I went down to the orchard of the walnut trees
to look at the blossoms of the valley,
to see whether the vines have sprouted,
whether the pomegranates have blossomed.
I did not know my heart set me
in a chariot of my princely people.
Turn, turn, O Shulammite!
Turn, turn so that we may look upon you!
Why do you look upon the Shulammite
as at a dance of the two armies?

KJV 1900King James Version
I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley,
And to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded.
Or ever I was aware,
My soul made me like the chariots of Ammi-nadib.
Return, return, O Shulamite;
Return, return, that we may look upon thee.
What will ye see in the Shulamite?
As it were the company of two armies.
