Song of Solomon 1
1 This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
これはソロモンの雅歌なり
2 Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
ねがはしきは彼その口の接吻をもて我にくちつけせんことなり 汝の愛は酒よりもまさりぬ
3 The fragrance of the cologne on your [skin] is [very] sweet/pleasing [CHI]. And your reputation is [very] good and spreads, [like] [SIM] the fragrance of the special oil spread on your skin. That is why the [other] young women are attracted to you.
なんぢの香膏は其香味たへに馨しくなんぢの名はそそがれたる香膏のごとし 是をもて女子等なんぢを愛す
4 Take me quickly; take me to your home. [It is as though] you are my king; take me into your room. We are very happy [DOU] about you; we say that your love [for each other] is better than wine. It is not surprising that the other young women adore you.
われを引たまへ われら汝にしたがひて走らん 王われをたづさへてその後宮にいれたまへり 我らは汝によりて歡び樂しみ酒よりも勝りてなんぢの愛をほめたたふ 彼らは直きこころをもて汝を愛す
5 You women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful; my dark skin is like [SIM] the tents in Kedar, [or] like the beautiful curtains in Solomon’s palace.
ヱルサレムの女子等よ われは黑けれどもなほ美はし ケダルの天幕のごとく またソロモンの帷帳に似たり
6 [But] do not stare at me because of the sun having caused my skin to become dark; my brothers were angry with me, [so] they forced me to work [out in the sunshine] in the vineyards, so I was not able to take good care of my body/skin [CHI, MET].
われ色くろきが故に日のわれを燒たるが故に我を視るなかれ わが母の子等われを怒りて我に葡萄園をまもらしめたり 我はおのが葡萄園をまもらざりき
7 You whom I [SYN] love, where will you take your flock of sheep today? Where will you allow them to rest at noontime? I want to know because it is not right [RHQ] for me to wander around like a prostitute looking for you among the flocks that belong to your friends.
わが心の愛する者よなんぢは何處にてなんぢの群を牧ひ 午時いづこにて之を息まするや請ふわれに告よ なんぞ面を覆へる者の如くしてなんぢが伴侶の群のかたはらにをるべけんや
8 You who are the most beautiful of all the women, if you [search for me and] do not know [where I will take my sheep], follow the tracks/footprints of the sheep. [Then] allow your young goats to (graze/eat grass) near the shepherds’ tents.
婦女の最も美はしき者よ なんぢ若しらずば群の足跡にしたがひて出ゆき 牧羊者の天幕のかたはらにて汝の羔山羊を牧へ
9 You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.
わが佳耦よ 我なんぢをパロの車の馬に譬ふ
10 Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.
なんぢの臉には鏈索を垂れ なんぢの頭には珠玉を陳ねて至も美はし
11 We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
われら白銀の星をつけたる黄金の鏈索をなんぢのために造らん
12 While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
王其席につきたまふ時 わがナルダ其香味をいだせり
13 The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.
わが愛する者は我にとりてはわが胸のあひだにおきたる沒藥の袋のごとし
14 He is like [MET] a bunch of flowers from the vineyards at En-Gedi.
わが愛する者はわれにとりてはエンゲデの園にあるコペルの英華のごとし
15 You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
ああ美はしきかな わが佳耦よ ああうるはしきかな なんぢの目は鴿のごとし
16 You who love me, you are very delightful/handsome, you are wonderful! This green grass will be [like] a couch [where we lie down].
わが愛する者よ ああなんぢは美はしくまた樂しきかな われらの牀は靑緑なり
17 [Branches of] cedar [trees] will shade us; [it is as though branches of] juniper/pine [trees] will be like [MET] a roof [over our heads].
われらの家の棟梁は香柏 その垂木は松の木なり
