11 I 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.

12 Before I realized it,

my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people.

11 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.

12 Or ever I was aware,

My soul made me like the chariots of Ammi-nadib.

11 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.

12 Before I realized it,

my strong desires had taken me to the chariot of a noble man.

11 I went down to the garden of nuts

To see the verdure of the valley,

To see whether the vine had budded

And the pomegranates had bloomed.

12 Before I was even aware,

My soul had made me

As the chariots of my noble people.

11 I went down into the orchard of nut trees

to see the blossoms of the valley,

to look for buds on the vines,

to see if the pomegranate trees had bloomed.

12 Before I realized it, my desire for you made me feel

like a prince in a chariot.

11 I went down into the garden of nuts,

To see the green plants of the valley,

To see whether the vine budded,

And the pomegranates were in flower.

12 Before I was aware, my soul set me

Among the chariots of my princely people.

11 I went down into the garden of nuts, To see the verdure of the valley, To see whether the vine budded, Whether the pomegranates blossomed. 12 Before I was aware, My soul set me upon the chariots of my willing people.

11 I went to the walnut grove 

to look at the blossoms in the valley, 

to see if the grapevine had budded 

and if the pomegranates were in bloom. 

12 I did not know that I had become 

like the chariots of my noble people.

11 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.

12 Before I knew it,

my desire put me

among the chariots of my noble people.

11 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.

12 Before I was aware, my fancy set me

in a chariot beside my prince.

11 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.

12 I did not know my heart set me

in a chariot of my princely people.

11 “I went down to a grove of nut trees.

I wanted to look at the new plants growing in the valley.

I wanted to find out whether the vines had budded.

I wanted to see if the pomegranate trees had bloomed.

12 Before I realized it,

I was among the royal chariots of my people.”

The other women say,

11 “I went down to the orchard of nut trees

To see the blossoms of the valley,

To see whether the vine had budded

Or the pomegranates had bloomed.

12 “Before I was aware, my soul set me

Over the chariots of my noble people.”
