Look not upon me, because I am swarthy, Because the sun hath scorched me. My mother’s sons were incensed against me; They made me keeper of the vineyards; But mine own vineyard have I not kept.

Let not your eyes be turned on me, because I am dark, because I was looked on by the sun; my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vine-gardens; but my vine-garden I have not kept.

Μη βλεπετε εις εμε, οτι ειμαι μεμελανωμενη, επειδη ο ηλιος με εκαυσεν· οι υιοι της μητρος μου ωργισθησαν κατ' εμου· με εβαλον φυλακα εις τους αμπελωνας· τον ιδιον μου αμπελωνα ομως δεν εφυλαξα.

Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
