Song of Solomon 8

1 Oh that you were like my brother, who nursed from the breasts of my mother! If I found you outside, I would kiss you; yes, and no one would despise me.

Ah, sekiranya engkau saudara kandungku, yang pernah menyusu pada ibuku, pasti kau kucium bila kujumpai di jalan, tak ada yang akan menghina aku.

2 I would lead you, bringing you into the house of my mother, who would instruct me. I would have you drink spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranate.

Engkau akan kubawa ke rumah ibuku, agar engkau dapat mengajari aku. Kau akan kuberi minum anggur harum, dan air buah delima.

3 His left hand would be under my head. His right hand would embrace me.

Tangan kirimu menopang aku, tangan kananmu memeluk aku.

4 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.

Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bahwa kamu takkan mengganggu cinta, sampai ia dipuaskan.

5 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Beloved Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother conceived you. There she was in labor and bore you.

Siapakah itu yang datang dari padang gurun, bersandar pada kekasihnya?

6 Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol (Sheol h7585). Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD.

Jadikanlah aku buah hatimu, jangan memeluk siapa pun selain aku; karena cinta itu sekuat maut, dan nafsu berkuasa seperti kematian. Nyalanya seperti nyala api yang berkobar dengan dahsyat. (Sheol h7585)

7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.

Air yang banyak tak mampu memadamkan cinta, dan banjir tak dapat menghanyutkannya. Jika seorang memberi segala hartanya untuk membeli cinta, pasti hanya penghinaan yang didapatnya.

8 We have a little sister. She has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is to be spoken for?

Kami mempunyai seorang adik wanita yang masih kecil buah dadanya. Apa yang harus kami buat baginya bila ada yang datang meminangnya?

9 If she is a wall, we will build on her a turret of silver. If she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

Andaikata ia sebuah tembok, akan kami dirikan menara perak di atasnya. Andaikata ia sebuah gapura, akan kami palangi dengan kayu cemara.

10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers, then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.

Aku ini sebuah tembok, dan buah dadaku menaranya. Kekasihku tahu bahwa pada dia aku bahagia.

11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon. He leased out the vineyard to keepers. Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.

Salomo mempunyai kebun anggur di Baal-Hamon; kebun itu diserahkannya kepada para penjaga. Masing-masing membayar seribu uang perak untuk hasilnya,

12 My own vineyard is before me. The thousand are for you, Solomon, two hundred for those who tend its fruit.

dan mendapat dua ratus untuk jerih payahnya. Biarlah uang itu untukmu, Salomo, dan untuk para penjaga kebunmu. Tapi kebun anggurku, milikku sendiri, ada di hadapanku.

13 You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice!

Hai, penghuni kebun, teman-teman ingin mendengar suaramu; perdengarkanlah itu kepadaku!

14 Come away, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!

Kekasihku, datanglah seperti kijang, seperti anak rusa di pegunungan Beter.
