< 雅歌 6 >

1 ◆耶京女郎: 妳這女中極美麗的啊! 妳的愛人往那裏去了﹖妳的愛人轉向何處去了﹖妳讓我們同妳一起去尋找﹖◆新娘:
Thou faireste of wymmen, whidur yede thi derlyng? whidur bowide thi derlyng? and we schulen seke hym with thee.
2 我的愛人到自己的花園,到香畦去了,好在花園中牧羊,採百合花。
My derlyng yede doun in to his orcherd, to the gardyn of swete smellynge spices, that he be fed there in orcherdis, and gadere lilyes.
3 我屬於我的愛人,我的愛人屬於我,他在百合花間,牧放他的羊群。◆新郎:
Y to my derlyng; and my derlyng, that is fed among the lilies, be to me.
4 我的愛卿! 妳美麗有如提爾匝,可愛有如耶路撒冷,莊嚴有如整齊的軍旅。
Mi frendesse, thou art fair, swete and schappli as Jerusalem, thou art ferdful as the scheltrun of oostis set in good ordre.
5 轉過妳的眼去,不要看我,因為妳的眼使我迷亂;妳的頭髮猶如由基肋阿得山下來的一群山羊。
Turne awei thin iyen fro me, for tho maden me to fle awei; thin heeris ben as the flockis of geet, that apperiden fro Galaad.
6 妳的牙齒像一群浴後上來的母綿羊,都懷有雙胎,沒有不生育的。
Thi teeth as a flok of scheep, that stieden fro waischyng; alle ben with double lambren, `ether twynnes, and no bareyn is among tho.
7 妳隱在面紗後的兩頰,有如分裂兩半的石榴。
As the rynde of a pumgranate, so ben thi chekis, without thi priuytees.
8 皇后六十,嬪妃八十,少女無數:
Sixti ben queenys, and eiyti ben secundarie wyues; and of yong damesels is noon noumbre.
9 但是,我的鴿子,我的完人,只有一個,她是生養她者的愛女;少女見了她,都稱她有福;皇后與嬪妃,也都讚揚她。◆耶京女郎:
Oon is my culuer, my perfit spousesse, oon is to hir modir, and is the chosun of hir modir; the douytris of Syon sien hir, and prechiden hir moost blessid; queenys, and secundarie wyues preisiden hir.
10 「那上升如晨曦,美麗如月亮,光耀如太陽,莊嚴如整齊軍旅的,是誰﹖」[第五幕:愛情的享受]◆新娘:
Who is this, that goith forth, as the moreutid risynge, fair as the moone, chosun as the sunne, ferdful as the scheltrun of oostis set in good ordre?
11 我下到核桃園中,要欣賞谷中的新綠,看看葡萄樹是否發了芽,石榴樹是否開了花﹖
Y cam doun in to myn orcherd, to se the applis of grete valeis, and to biholde, if vyneris hadden flourid, and if pumgranate trees hadden buriowned.
12 我的熱誠摧促我登上了我民主上的御駕。
Y knew not; my soule disturblide me, for the charis of Amynadab.
13 耶京女郎:1. 歸來,歸來! 叔拉米特! 歸來,歸來! 讓我看看妳! 妳們要看叔拉米特什麼﹖看她在兩隊中舞蹈。◆甲:
Turne ayen, turne ayen, thou Sunamyte; turne ayen, turne ayen, that we biholde thee. What schalt thou se in the Sunamyte, no but cumpenyes of oostis?
