雅歌 5
1 ◆新郎：我的妹妹，我的新娘! 我進入了我的花園，採了我的沒藥和香草，吃了我的蜂巢和蜂蜜，喝了我的酒和奶。我的朋友! 請你們吃，請你們喝；我親愛的，請你們痛飲![第四幕：愛情的試探和鞏固]◆新娘：
[[Lov.]] I am come to my garden, my sister, my spouse! I gather my myrrh with my balsam, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends! Drink, yea, drink abundantly, my loved companions!
2 我身雖睡，我心卻醒；我的愛人在敲門。◆新郎： 我的妹妹，我的愛卿， 我的鴿子，我的完人，請給我開門! 我的頭上滿了露水，我的髮辮滿了露珠。◆新娘：
[[M.]] I slept, but my heart was awake; It was the voice of my beloved, who was knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one! For my head is filled with dew, And my locks with the drops of the night.”
3 我已脫下長衣，怎能再穿﹖我己洗了腳，怎能再杇﹖
“I have taken off my vest [[said I]]; How shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; How shall I soil them?”
4 我的愛人從門孔中伸進手來，我的五內大為感動。
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, And my heart was moved for him.
5 我起來給我的愛人開門，一摸門閂，我的手就滴下沒藥，滴下純正的沒藥。
I rose up to open to my beloved, And my hands dropped with myrrh, And my fingers with self-flowing myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt.
6 我給我的愛人開了門，我的愛人卻轉身走了；一見他走了，我妳不傷心。我尋覓，卻沒有找著；我呼喚他，他卻不答應。
I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. I was not in my senses while he spake with me! I sought him, but could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 巡行城市的守衛遇見了我，打傷了我；看守城牆的人，奪去了我身上的外衣
The watchmen that go about the city found me; They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away from me my veil.
8 耶路撒冷女郎! 妳們若遇見了我的愛人，妳們要告訴他什麼﹖我懇求妳們告訴他：「我因愛成疾。」◆耶京女郎：
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem! If ye should find my beloved, —What will ye tell him? That I am sick with love.
9 妳這女中極美麗的啊! 我的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人﹖妳的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人，致使妳這懇求我們﹖◆新娘：
[[Lad.]] What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women! What is thy beloved more than another beloved, That thus thou dost charge us?
10 我的愛人，皎潔紅潤，超越萬人。
[[M.]] My beloved is white and ruddy, The chief among ten thousand.
11 他的頭顱金碧輝煌，他的髮辮有如棕枝，漆黑有如烏鴉。
His head is as the most fine gold; His locks waving palm-branches, Black as a raven;
12 他的眼睛，有如站在溪旁的鵓鴿的眼；他的牙齒在奶中洗過，按在牙床上。
His eyes are doves by streams of water, Washed with milk, dwelling in fulness;
13 他的兩頰有如香花畦，又如芳草台；他的嘴脣有如百合花，滴流純正的沒藥。
His cheeks are like a bed of balsam, Like beds of spices; His lips are lilies Dropping self-flowing myrrh;
14 他的手臂有如金管，鑲有塔爾史士寶石；他的軀幹是一塊象牙，鑲有碧玉
His hands are gold rings set with chrysolite; His body is wrought-work of ivory, overlaid with sapphires;
15 他的兩腿像一對大理石，置於純金座上；他的容貌彷彿黎巴嫩，壯麗如同香柏樹。
His legs are marble pillars, resting on pedestals of fine gold; His aspect is like Lebanon, Majestic like the cedars;
16 他滿面香甜，全然可愛。耶路撒冷女郎! 這就是我的愛人，這就是我的良友。
His mouth is sweetness; His whole being, loveliness. This is my beloved, This my friend, O ye daughters of Jerusalem!
