Song of Solomon 6
1 You who are the most beautiful of all the women, where has the one who loves you gone? [If you tell us] which [RHQ] direction he went, we will go with you to search for him.
Wohin ist dein Geliebter gegangen, du schönste unter den Weibern? Wohin hat sich dein Geliebter gewandt, daß wir ihn mit dir suchen?
2 The one who loves me has now come [to me, who am like] [MET, EUP] his garden, He has come to [enjoy my (charms/physical attractions) which are like] [MET, EUP] spices, to enjoy cuddling up to me [EUP, MET], and [kissing my lips, which are like] [MET] lilies.
Mein Geliebter ging hinab in seinen Garten zu den Balsambeeten, in den Gärten zu weiden und Lilien zu pflücken.
3 I belong to the one who loves me, and the one who loves me belongs to me; he [enjoys kissing] my lips like [MET] [a shepherd enjoys] taking care of [his sheep].
Ich gehöre meinem Geliebten und mein Geliebter ist mein, der in den Lilien weidet.
4 My darling, you are beautiful, like [SIM] Tirzah [the capital city of Israel] and Jerusalem [the capital city of Judah are beautiful]; you are as exciting [MET] as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners.
Du bist schön, meine Freundin, wie Thirza, lieblich wie Jerusalem, furchtbar wie Bannerscharen.
5 Quit looking at me like that, because your eyes excite me very much. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats [moving down the slopes] of Gilead [Mountain].
Wende deine Augen von mir ab, denn sie erschrecken mich. Dein Haar gleicht der Ziegenherde, die am Gilead herab sich lagert.
6 Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has just been shorn and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
Deine Zähne gleichen einer Herde von Mutterschafen, die aus der Schwemme gestiegen, die allzumal Zwillinge tragen, und deren keines unfruchtbar.
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
Wie eine Granatapfelscheibe leuchtet deine Schläfe hinter deinem Schleier hervor.
8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
Sechzig Königinnen hat Salomo und achtzig Nebenfrauen und Jungfrauen ohne Zahl.
9 [none of them would be like] my dove, who is perfect, you who are your mother’s only daughter, whom your mother considers to be very precious. [Other] young women who see you say that you are fortunate, and the queens and concubines recognize that you [are very beautiful].
Eine nur ist meine Taube, meine Reine, sie, die eine ihrer Mutter, die Auserwählte der, die sie gebar. Sie sahen die Mädchen und priesen sie glücklich, Königinnen und Nebenfrauen, rühmten sie.
10 Who is [RHQ] this woman who is [as delightful] as [SIM] the dawn, as fair/delightful [to look at] as [the light of] the moon, as exciting as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners?
Wer ist's, die herabblickt wie die Morgenröte, schön wie der Mond, rein wie die Sonne, furchtbar wie Bannerscharen?
11 I went down to some walnut trees to look at the new plants that were growing in the valley. I wanted to see if the grapevines had budded or if the pomegranate trees were blooming.
Zum Nußgarten war ich hinabgegangen, mich an den frischen Trieben des Thals zu erfreun, zu sehn, ob der Weinstock sproßte, ob die Granaten blühten.
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
Unversehens hat mein Verlangen mich geführt zu dem Wagen der Leute eines Edlen.
13 You who are the perfect one, come back [to us], in order that we may see you! Why do you want to look at this woman who is perfect, like [SIM] you like to watch two rows/lines of people dancing?
Wende dich, wende dich, Sulamith, wende dich, wende dich, daß wir dich anschaun! Was wollt ihr an Sulamith schauen? etwa den Reigen im Doppelchor?
