< Song of Solomon 5 >

1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
◆新郎:我的妹妹,我的新娘! 我進入了我的花園,採了我的沒藥和香草,吃了我的蜂巢和蜂蜜,喝了我的酒和奶。我的朋友! 請你們吃,請你們喝;我親愛的,請你們痛飲![第四幕:愛情的試探和鞏固]◆新娘:
2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”
我身雖睡,我心卻醒;我的愛人在敲門。◆新郎: 我的妹妹,我的愛卿, 我的鴿子,我的完人,請給我開門! 我的頭上滿了露水,我的髮辮滿了露珠。◆新娘:
3 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
我已脫下長衣,怎能再穿﹖我己洗了腳,怎能再杇﹖
4 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.
我的愛人從門孔中伸進手來,我的五內大為感動。
5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
我起來給我的愛人開門,一摸門閂,我的手就滴下沒藥,滴下純正的沒藥。
6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I did not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.
我給我的愛人開了門,我的愛人卻轉身走了;一見他走了,我妳不傷心。我尋覓,卻沒有找著;我呼喚他,他卻不答應。
7 The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
巡行城市的守衛遇見了我,打傷了我;看守城牆的人,奪去了我身上的外衣
8 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love.
耶路撒冷女郎! 妳們若遇見了我的愛人,妳們要告訴他什麼﹖我懇求妳們告訴他:「我因愛成疾。」◆耶京女郎:
9 How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?
妳這女中極美麗的啊! 我的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人﹖妳的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人,致使妳這懇求我們﹖◆新娘:
10 My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
我的愛人,皎潔紅潤,超越萬人。
11 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
他的頭顱金碧輝煌,他的髮辮有如棕枝,漆黑有如烏鴉。
12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
他的眼睛,有如站在溪旁的鵓鴿的眼;他的牙齒在奶中洗過,按在牙床上。
13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
他的兩頰有如香花畦,又如芳草台;他的嘴脣有如百合花,滴流純正的沒藥。
14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
他的手臂有如金管,鑲有塔爾史士寶石;他的軀幹是一塊象牙,鑲有碧玉
15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
他的兩腿像一對大理石,置於純金座上;他的容貌彷彿黎巴嫩,壯麗如同香柏樹。
16 His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
他滿面香甜,全然可愛。耶路撒冷女郎! 這就是我的愛人,這就是我的良友。
