Song of Solomon 8

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

萬望你的兄弟，吮過我母親的乳房，好叫我 外邊遇見你時，能親吻你，而不致受人輕視。

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

我要引領你走進我母親的家，進入懷我者的內室；給你喝調香的美酒，石榴的甘釀

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

他的左手在我頭下，他的右手緊抱著我。◆新郎：

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

耶路撒冷女郎! 我懇求妳們，不要驚醒，也不要喚我的愛，讓她自便吧![第六幕：愛情的圓滿]◆耶京女郎：

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

從曠野裏上來，那依偎著自己的愛人的，是誰﹖◆新郎：在蘋果樹下我喚醒了妳，在那裏妳的母親懷孕了妳，在那裏生養妳的，為妳受了產痛。◆新娘：

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. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Jehovah. (Sheol h7585)

請將我有如印璽，放在你的心上，有如印璽，放在你肩上，因為愛情猛如死亡，妒愛頑如陰府：它的火焰，是上主的火焰。◆新郎： (Sheol h7585)

7 Many waters can't 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.

洪流不能熄滅愛情，江河不能將它沖去，如有人獻出全副家產想購買愛情，必受人輕視。◆新娘兄弟：

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?

我的妹妹尚小，還沒有乳房；到了她議婚之日，為我們的妹妹，我們將作什麼﹖

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.

她若是牆，我們就在上面建造銀堵，她若是門，我們就用香柏木閂來關鎖。◆新娘：

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

我是一道牆，我的乳房如同塔。我在他眼裏，實如獲得和平的女郎。◆新娘兄弟：

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.

撒羅滿在巴耳哈孟有個葡萄園，他將這葡萄園委托給看守的人；每人為園中的果子，應交一千兩銀子。◆新郎：

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

那屬我的葡萄園，就在我面前；撒羅滿! 一千兩銀子歸你，二百兩歸看守果子的人。◆新郎：

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

妳這住在果園中的女郎，願妳使我聽到妳的聲音! 同伴們都在等候細聽。◆新娘：

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

我的愛人! 願你仿效郁香山上的羚羊或幼鹿，趕快跑來!
