Kidung Agung 5
1 Aku datang ke kebunku, dinda, pengantinku, kukumpulkan mur dan rempah-rempahku; kumakan sarang lebah dan maduku, kuminum susu dan air anggurku.
Let my kinsman come down into his garden, and eat the fruit of his choice berries. I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spices; I have eaten my bread with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink; yes, brethren, drink abundantly.
2 Aku tidur, namun hatiku berjaga. Dengarlah, kekasihku mengetuk pintu.
I sleep, but my heart is awake: the voice of my kinsman knocks at the door, [saying], Open, open to me, my companion, my sister, my dove, my perfect one: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
3 Bajuku sudah kulepaskan; apakah akan kupakai lagi? Kakiku sudah kubasuh, apakah akan kukotori lagi?
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them?
4 Berdebar-debar hatiku karena kekasihku memegang gagang pintu.
My kinsman put forth his hand by the hole [of the door], and my belly moved for him.
5 Maka bangunlah aku hendak membuka pintu bagi kekasihku. Mur menetes dari tangan dan jari-jariku, membasahi pegangan kancing pintu.
I rose up to open to my kinsman; my hands dropped myrrh, my fingers choice myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
6 Kubukakan pintu bagi kekasihku, tetapi ia telah berbalik dan pergi. Aku sangat merindukan suaranya; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia. Kupanggil namanya, tapi ia tak menyahut.
I opened to my kinsman; my kinsman was gone: my soul failed at his speech: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he answered me not.
7 Aku ditemui para peronda kota; mereka memukul dan melukai aku, selendangku mereka ambil dengan paksa.
The watchman that go their rounds in the city found me, they struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8 Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bila kamu menemukan kekasihku, kabarkanlah kepadanya, bahwa aku sakit asmara.
I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and the virtues of the field: if you should find my kinsman, what are you to say to him? That I am wounded with love.
9 Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, hai gadis yang paling jelita? Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, sehingga engkau menyuruh kami berjanji?
What is your kinsman [more] than [another] kinsman, O you beautiful among women? what is your kinsman [more] than [another] kinsman, that you have so charged us?
10 Kekasihku gagah dan tampan, unggul di antara sepuluh ribu orang.
My kinsman is white and ruddy, chosen out from myriads.
11 Kepalanya seperti emas, emas murni, rambutnya berombak dan hitam, sehitam gagak.
His head is [as] very fine gold, his locks are flowing, black as a raven.
12 Matanya bagaikan merpati pada mata air, merpati bermandi susu, duduk di tepi kolam.
His eyes are as doves, by the pools of waters, washed with milk, sitting by the pools.
13 Pipinya seperti kebun rempah yang wangi, bibirnya bunga bakung yang meneteskan mur asli.
His cheeks are as bowls of spices pouring forth perfumes: his lips are lilies, dropping choice myrrh.
14 Tangannya elok, bercincin emas dengan permata, tubuhnya bagaikan gading bertatah batu nilam.
His hands are as turned gold set with beryl: his belly is an ivory tablet on a sapphire stone.
15 Kakinya seperti tiang-tiang marmer putih, dengan alas emas murni. Perawakannya segagah gunung-gunung di Libanon, dan seanggun pohon aras.
His legs are marble pillars set on golden sockets: his form is as Libanus, choice as the cedars.
16 Teramat manis tutur katanya, segala sesuatu padanya menarik. Begitulah kekasih dan sahabatku, hai putri-putri Yerusalem!
His throat is most sweet, and altogether desirable. This is my kinsman, and this is my companion, O daughters of Jerusalem.
