雅歌 7

1 公主! 妳的腳穿上涼鞋，是多麼美麗!◆乙：

How beautiful are your sandaled feet, O daughter of the prince! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the handiwork of a master.

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：

Your navel is a rounded goblet; it never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by the lilies.

3 妳的兩個乳房，猶如羚羊的一對孿生的小羊。◆乙：

Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.

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：

Your neck is like a tower made of ivory; your eyes are like the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath-rabbim; your nose is like the tower of Lebanon, facing 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：

Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel, the hair of your head like purple threads; the king is captured in your 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 pleasant you are, O love, with your 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。

Your stature is like a palm tree; your breasts are clusters of fruit.

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 the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.” May your breasts be like clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your 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 your mouth like the finest wine. May it flow smoothly to my beloved, gliding gently over lips and teeth.

10 我屬於我的愛人，他醉心戀慕著我。

I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for 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 to the countryside; let us spend the night among the wildflowers.

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 go early to the vineyards to see if the vine has budded, if the blossom has opened, if the pomegranates are in bloom— there I will give you 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 send forth a fragrance, and at our door is every delicacy, new as well as old, that I have treasured up for you, my beloved.
