< 雅歌 4 >

1 ◆新郎: 我的愛卿! 妳多麼美麗! 妳的兩眼隱在面紗後,有如一對鴿眼;妳的頭髮猶如由基肋阿得山下來的一群山羊。
Look, you are beautiful, my love. Look, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is as a flock of goats, that descend from Mount Gilead.
2 妳的牙齒像一群剪毛後洗潔上來的母綿羊,都懹有雙胎,沒有不生育的。
Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock, which have come up from the washing, where every one of them has twins. None is bereaved among them.
3 妳的嘴脣像一縷朱紅線,妳的小口嬌美可愛;妳隱在面紗後的兩頰,有如分兩半的石榴。
Your lips are like scarlet thread. Your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
4 妳的頭頸宛如達味的寶塔,建築如寶疊,懸有上千的盾牌都是武士的利器。
Your neck is like David's tower built for an armory, whereon a thousand shields hang, all the shields of the mighty men.
5 妳的兩個乳房,好似母羚羊的一對孿生小羚羊,牧放在百合花中。
Your two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a gazelle, which feed among the lilies.
6 趁晚風還未生涼,日影還未消失,我要到沒藥山,上乳香嶺。
Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, to the hill of frankincense.
7 我的愛卿! 妳是全美的,妳毫無瑕疵。
You are all beautiful, my love. There is no spot in you.
8 妳從黎巴嫩下來,離開阿瑪納山巔,色尼爾和赫爾孟山頂,獅子的巢穴,豹子的山崗。
Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9 ,妳奪去了我的心! 妳回目一顧,妳項鏈上的一顆珍珠,奪去了我的心。
You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride. You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.
10 我的妹妹,我的新娘! 妳的愛撫多麼甘甜,妳的愛撫勝過美洒,妳香液的芬芳超越一切的香料。
How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride. How much better is your love than wine. The fragrance of your perfumes than all manner of spices.
11 我的新娘! 妳的嘴脣滴流巒蜜,妳的舌下有蜜有奶;妳衣服的芬芳好似乳香。
Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12 我的妹妹,我的新娘! 是關閉的花園,是一座關鎖的花園,我一個封鎖的泉源。
A locked up garden is my sister, my bride; a locked up spring, a sealed fountain.
13 妳吐苗萌芽,形成了石榴園,內有各種珍奇的果木:鳳仙和玫瑰,杳樹,
Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits: henna with spikenard plants,
14 甘松和番紅,丁香和肉桂,各種乳香樹,沒藥蘆薈,以及各種奇香異草。
spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree; myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,
15 妳是湧出的水泉,是從黎巴嫩流下的活水泉。新娘:
a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, flowing streams from Lebanon.
16 北風,吹來! 南風,吹來! 吹向我的花園,使它的清香四溢。願我的愛人進入他的花園,品嘗其中的佳果!
Awake, north wind; and come, you south. Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and taste his precious fruits.
