Song of Solomon 6
1 You who are the most beautiful of all the women, where has the one who loves you gone? [If you tell us] which [RHQ] direction he went, we will go with you to search for him.
Où est allé ton bien-aimé, ô la plus belle des femmes? où ton ami s'est-il dirigé? Nous voulons le chercher avec toi. – –
2 The one who loves me has now come [to me, who am like] [MET, EUP] his garden, He has come to [enjoy my (charms/physical attractions) which are like] [MET, EUP] spices, to enjoy cuddling up to me [EUP, MET], and [kissing my lips, which are like] [MET] lilies.
Mon bien-aimé est descendu dans son jardin, près des parterres de baume, pour se repaître dans les jardins, et cueillir les lys.
3 I belong to the one who loves me, and the one who loves me belongs to me; he [enjoys kissing] my lips like [MET] [a shepherd enjoys] taking care of [his sheep].
Je suis à mon bien-aimé, et mon bien-aimé est à moi; il se repaît au milieu des lys.
4 My darling, you are beautiful, like [SIM] Tirzah [the capital city of Israel] and Jerusalem [the capital city of Judah are beautiful]; you are as exciting [MET] as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners.
Ma bien-aimée, tu es belle comme Thirza, attrayante comme Jérusalem, mais redoutable comme des phalanges sous le drapeau.
5 Quit looking at me like that, because your eyes excite me very much. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats [moving down the slopes] of Gilead [Mountain].
Détourne de moi tes yeux, car ils me donnent l'effroi. Ta chevelure est comme un troupeau des chèvres qui reposent sur les flancs de Galaad;
6 Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has just been shorn and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
tes dents, comme un troupeau de brebis qui reviennent du bain, toutes mères de jumeaux. et dont aucune n'est sans agneaux;
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
telle une moitié de grenade. telles sont les joues derrière ton voile.
8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
Il y a soixante reines, quatre-vingts concubines, et des filles sans nombre;
9 [none of them would be like] my dove, who is perfect, you who are your mother’s only daughter, whom your mother considers to be very precious. [Other] young women who see you say that you are fortunate, and the queens and concubines recognize that you [are very beautiful].
mais une seule est ma colombe, ma pure; elle est l'enfant unique de sa mère, la favorite de celle qui lui donna naissance. Les filles la voient, et la disent heureuse, les reines et les concubines, et la louent.
10 Who is [RHQ] this woman who is [as delightful] as [SIM] the dawn, as fair/delightful [to look at] as [the light of] the moon, as exciting as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners?
Qui est celle qui surgit comme l'aurore, belle comme la lune, pure comme le soleil, mais redoutable comme les phalanges sous le drapeau? – –
11 I went down to some walnut trees to look at the new plants that were growing in the valley. I wanted to see if the grapevines had budded or if the pomegranate trees were blooming.
Je suis descendue au jardin des noyers, pour voir la fraîche verdure de la vallée, pour voir si la vigne montre ses bourgeons, si la grenade fleurit.
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
Je ne sais, mais mon désir m'a donné la vitesse des chars de mon noble peuple. –
13 You who are the perfect one, come back [to us], in order that we may see you! Why do you want to look at this woman who is perfect, like [SIM] you like to watch two rows/lines of people dancing?
Dès le matin nous irons aux vignes, nous observerons si la vigne pousse, épanouit ses boutons, si les grenadiers sont en fleur. Là je te ferai le don de mon amour.
