雅歌 7

1 公主! 妳的腳穿上涼鞋，是多麼美麗!◆乙：

How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skilful workman.

2 妳的兩腿，圓潤似玉，是藝術家手中的傑作。◆甲：妳的肚臍，有如圓樽，總不缺少調香的美酒。◆乙：妳的肚腹，有如一堆麥粒，周圍有百合花圍繞。◆甲：

Thy body is a round goblet, no mingled wine is wanting. Thy waist is a heap of wheat set about with lilies.

3 妳的兩個乳房，猶如羚羊的一對孿生的小羊。◆乙：

Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe.

4 妳的頸項，猶如象牙寶塔。◆甲：妳的兩眼，好似赫市朋城巴特辣賓門旁的池塘。◆乙：妳的鼻子，仿佛黎巴嫩山上面對大馬士革的高塔。◆甲：

Thy neck is like the tower of ivory. Thine eyes, the pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.

5 妳的頭顱聳立，好像加爾默耳山。◆乙：妳頭上的頭髮辮有如紫綿。◆甲乙：司王就為這髮辮所迷。◆新郎：

Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thy head like purple. The king is held captive in the tresses.

6 極可愛的，悅人心意的女郎，妳是多麼美麗! 多麼可愛!

How fair and how pleasant thou are, O love, for delights!

7 妳的身材如同棕櫚樹，妳的乳房猶如棕櫚樹上的兩串果實。

This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to its clusters.

8 我決意要攀上棕櫚樹，摘取樹上的果實。妳的乳房，的確像兩串葡萄；妳噓氣芬芳，實如蘋果的香味。

I said, I will climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold of the branches of it. Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy breath like apples,

9 妳的口腔滴流美酒，直流入我口內，直流到我脣齒間。新娘：

and thy mouth like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips and teeth.

10 我屬於我的愛人，他醉心戀慕著我。

I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.

11 我的愛人! 你來，我們往田野去，在鄉間過夜。

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field. Let us lodge in the villages.

12 清晨起來，我們到葡萄園去，看看葡萄是否發芽，花朵是否怒放，石榴樹是否已開花；在那裏我要將我的愛獻給你。

Let us get up early to the vineyards. Let us see whether the vine has budded, its blossom is open, the pomegranates are in flower. There I will give thee my love.

13 蔓陀羅花香四溢，我們的門旁有各種美果，新的舊的都有；我心愛的，我都為妳留下。

The mandrakes give forth fragrance. And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
