Song of Solomon 8
1 I wish that you were my brother who (nursed at/drank milk from) my mother’s breasts [when you were a baby], [because, if you were my brother], if I saw you when you were outside [the house], I could kiss you, and no one would say that my doing that was wrong.
"Olisitpa kuin oma veljeni, äitini rintoja imenyt! Tapaisin sinut ulkona, sinua suutelisin, eikä minua kukaan halveksuisi.
2 [No one would object if] I led you to my mother’s house, to where my mother, who taught me [many things], lives. I would like to take you to my mother’s house because I would [like to make love to you] [EUP], [and that would be as delightful as] [MET] juice [squeezed] from pomegranates.
Minä johdattaisin sinut, veisin äitini taloon, ja hän neuvoisi minua. Minä antaisin mausteviiniä juodaksesi, granaattiomenani mehua."
3 You would put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
Hänen vasen kätensä on minun pääni alla, ja hänen oikea kätensä halaa minua.
4 [I would say to] you women of Jerusalem, “Solemnly promise me that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.”
Minä vannotan teitä, te Jerusalemin tyttäret: älkää herätelkö, älkää häiritkö rakkautta, ennenkuin se itse haluaa.
5 Who is that [woman] who is coming up from the desert, (leaning on/clinging close to) the man who loves her? I woke you up [when you were] under the apple tree at the place where your mother conceived you, which is the same place where she gave birth to you.
Kuka tuolla tulee erämaasta rakkaaseensa nojaten? "Omenapuun alla sinut herätin. Siellä sai sinut äitisi kerran, siellä sai sinut emosi.
6 Keep me [close to you], like [SIM] a seal on your heart, [or] like [SIM] a bracelet on your arm. Our love [for each other] is as powerful as death, it is as enduring as the grave. [It is as though] our love [for each other] bursts into flames and burns like a hot fire. (Sheol h7585)
Pane minut sinetiksi sydämellesi, sinetiksi käsivarrellesi. Sillä rakkaus on väkevä kuin kuolema, tuima kuin tuonela on sen kiivaus, sen hehku on tulen hehku, on Herran liekki. (Sheol h7585)
7 Nothing can extinguish our love [for each other], not [even] a flood. If a man tried to cause a woman to love him by saying he would give her everything that is in his house, she would refuse.
Eivät suuret vedet voi rakkautta sammuttaa, eivät virrat sitä tulvaansa upottaa. Jos joku tarjoaisi kaikki talonsa tavarat rakkauden hinnaksi, häntä vain halveksuttaisiin."
8 We have a younger sister, and her breasts are still small. So this is [RHQ] what we should do for her on the day that we promise [some young man] that he can marry her:
"Meillä on pieni sisko, jolla ei vielä ole rintoja. Mitä teemme siskollemme sinä päivänä, jona häntä kysytään?
9 If [her chest is flat like] [MET] a wall, we will [decorate it by] putting silver [jewels that are like] [MET] towers on it. Or, if she is [flat like] [MET] a door, we will decorate her with bits/pieces of cedar wood.
Jos hän on muuri, rakennamme sille hopeasta harjan; jos hän on ovi, sen setrilaudalla suljemme."
10 My [chest was previously flat like] [MET] a wall, [but now] my breasts are [big] like [SIM] towers. So the one who loves me is delighted with me.
"Minä olen muuri, ja rintani ovat kuin tornit; vaan nyt olen hänen silmissään niinkuin antautuvainen."
11 [King] Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon, and he rented it to people for them to take care of it. He required each one to pay him 1,000 pieces of silver [each year] for the grapes [that they harvested].
"Salomolla on viinitarha Baal-Haamonissa; hän on jättänyt viinitarhan vartijoiden huostaan; sen hedelmistä saisi tuhat hopeasekeliä.
12 [But my body is like] [MET] my own vineyard, and Solomon, I am giving it to you. [You do not need to pay me] 1,000 pieces of silver [to enjoy my body], but I will give 200 pieces of silver to those who take care of me [MET].
Minun viinitarhani on minun omassa hallussani. Sinulle, Salomo, tulkoot ne tuhat, ja sen hedelmän vartijoille kaksisataa."
13 You are staying in the gardens and my friends are listening to your voice; [so] allow me to hear it, [too.]
"Sinä yrttitarhain asujatar, toverit kuuntelevat ääntäsi; anna minun sitä kuulla."
14 You who love me, come [to me] quickly; [run to me] [MET, EUP] as fast as [SIM] a gazelle or young deer runs across [MET] hills of spices.
"Riennä, rakkaani, kuin gaselli, kuin nuori peura balsamivuorille."
