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.
Wohin ist dein Geliebter gegangen, du Schönste unter den Frauen? wohin hat dein Geliebter sich gewendet? Und wir wollen ihn mit dir suchen. -
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.
Mein Geliebter ist in seinen Garten hinabgegangen, zu den Würzkrautbeeten, um in den Gärten zu weiden und Lilien zu pflücken.
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].
Ich bin meines Geliebten; und mein Geliebter ist mein, der unter den Lilien weidet.
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.
Du bist schön, meine Freundin, wie Tirza, lieblich wie Jerusalem, furchtbar wie Kriegsscharen.
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].
Wende deine Augen von mir ab, denn sie überwältigen mich. Dein Haar ist wie eine Herde Ziegen, die an den Abhängen des Gilead lagern;
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.
deine Zähne sind wie eine Herde Mutterschafe, die aus der Schwemme heraufkommen, welche allzumal Zwillinge gebären, und keines unter ihnen ist unfruchtbar;
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
wie ein Schnittstück einer Granate ist deine Schläfe hinter deinem Schleier.
8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
Sechzig sind der Königinnen und achtzig der Kebsweiber, und Jungfrauen ohne Zahl.
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].
Eine ist meine Taube, meine Vollkommene; sie ist die einzige ihrer Mutter, sie ist die Auserkorene ihrer Gebärerin. Töchter sahen sie und priesen sie glücklich, Königinnen und Kebsweiber, und sie rühmten sie.
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?
Wer ist sie, die da hervorglänzt wie die Morgenröte, schön wie der Mond, rein wie die Sonne, furchtbar wie Kriegsscharen? -
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.
In den Nußgarten ging ich hinab, um die jungen Triebe des Tales zu besehen, um zu sehen, ob der Weinstock ausgeschlagen wäre, ob die Granaten blühten.
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
Unbewußt setzte mich meine Seele auf den Prachtwagen meines willigen Volkes. -
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?
Kehre um, kehre um, Sulamith; kehre um, kehre um, daß wir dich anschauen! Was möget ihr an der Sulamith schauen? Wie den Reigen von Machanaim.
