雅歌 8
1 ねがはくは汝わが母の乳をのみしわが兄弟のごとくならんことを われ戸外にてなんぢに遇ふとき接吻せん 然するとも誰ありてわれをいやしむるものあらじ
Bride to Groom: Who will give you to me as my brother, feeding from the breasts of my mother, so that I may discover you outside, and may kiss you, and so that now no one may despise me?
2 われ汝をひきてわが母の家にいたり 汝より敎晦をうけん 我かぐはしき酒 石榴のあまき汁をなんぢに飮しめん
I will take hold of you and lead you into my mother’s house. There you will teach me, and I will give you a cup of spiced wine, and of new wine from my pomegranates.
3 かれが左の手はわが頭の下にあり その右の手をもて我を抱く
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
4 ヱルサレムの女子等よ 我なんぢ等に誓ひて請ふ 愛のおのづから起る時まで殊更に喚起し且つ醒すなかれ
Groom to Chorus: I bind you by oath, O daughters of Jerusalem, not to disturb or awaken the beloved, until she wills.
5 おのれの愛する者に倚かかりて荒野より上りきたる者は誰ぞや 林檎の樹の下にてわれなんぢを喚さませり なんぢの母かしこにて汝のために劬勞をなし なんぢを產し者かしこにて劬勞をなしぬ
Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who ascends from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved? Groom to Bride: Under the apple tree, I awakened you. There your mother was corrupted. There she who bore you was violated.
6 われを汝の心におきて印のごとくし なんぢの腕におきて印のごとくせよ 其の愛は強くして死のごとく 嫉妬は堅くして陰府にひとし その熖は火のほのほのごとし いともはげしき熖なり (Sheol h7585)
Set me like a seal upon your heart, like a seal upon your arm. For love is strong, like death, and envy is enduring, like hell: their lamps are made of fire and flames. (Sheol h7585)
7 愛は大水も消ことあたはず 洪水も溺らすことあたはず 人その家の一切の物をことごとく與へて愛に換んとするとも尚いやしめらるべし
A multitude of waters cannot extinguish love, nor can a river overwhelm it. If a man were to give all the substance of his house in exchange for love, he would despise it as nothing.
8 われら小さき妹子あり 未だ乳房あらず われらの妹子の問聘をうくる日には之に何をなしてあたへんや
Chorus: Our sister is little and has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is called upon?
9 かれもし石垣ならんには我ら白銀の城をその上にたてん 彼もし戸ならんには香柏の板をもてこれを圍まん
If she is a wall, let us build a rampart of silver upon it. If she is a door, let us join it together with boards of cedar.
10 われは石垣わが乳房は戍樓のごとし 是をもてわれは情をかうむれる者のごとく彼の目の前にありき
Bride to Chorus: I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers, since, in his presence, I have become like one who has discovered peace.
11 バアルハモンにソロモンの葡萄園をもてり これをその守る者等にあづけおき 彼等をしておのおの銀一千をその果のために納めしむ
The peaceful one had a vineyard, in that which held the peoples. He handed it on to the caretakers; a man brought, in exchange for its fruit, a thousand pieces of silver.
12 われ自らの有なる葡萄園われの手にあり ソロモンなんぢは一千を獲よ その果をまもる者も二百を獲べし
Groom: My vineyard is before me. The thousand is for your peacefulness, and two hundred is for those who care for its fruit.
13 なんぢ園の中に住む者よ 伴侶等なんぢの聲に耳をかたむく 請ふ我にこれを聽しめよ
Bride to Groom: Your friends are attentive to those who have been dwelling in the gardens. Cause me to heed your voice.
14 わが愛する者よ 請ふ急ぎはしれ 香はしき山々の上にありて獐のごとく 小鹿のごとくあれ
Flee away, my beloved, and become like the doe and the young stag upon the mountains of aromatic plants.
