ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

2:1
ἐγὼἄνθοςτοῦπεδίουκρίνοντῶνκοιλάδων
I am a flower of the plain, a lily of the valleys.
As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. In his shadow I desired and sat down, and his fruit was sweet in my throat.
My beloved is like a gazelle or a fawn of the deer upon the mountains of Bethel. Behold, he stands behind our wall, looking in through the windows, peering through the lattices.
And come, you, my dove, in the shelter of the rock, close by the outer wall; show me your face and let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet and your face is comely.
