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：
I have come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I have gathered my myrrh, with my spice; I have eaten my honey-comb with my honey; I have drank my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yes, drink abundantly, O beloved.
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：
I sleep, but my heart waketh: [it is] the voice of my beloved that knocketh, [saying], Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: 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 put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile 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 bowels were 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] sweet-smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
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I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.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 went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my vail from me.
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 daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that 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：
What [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? what [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
10 我的愛人，皎潔紅潤，超越萬人。
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 [are] bushy, [and] 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] as [the eyes] of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, [and] fitly set.
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] as a bed of spices, [as] sweet flowers: his lips [like] lilies, dropping sweet-smelling 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 as] gold rings set with the beryl: his belly [is as] bright 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 as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance [is] as Lebanon, excellent as 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] most sweet: yes, he [is] altogether lovely. This [is] my beloved, and this [is] my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
