雅歌 8
1 萬望你的兄弟，吮過我母親的乳房，好叫我 外邊遇見你時，能親吻你，而不致受人輕視。
Who doth make thee as a brother to me, Sucking the breasts of my mother? I find thee without, I kiss thee, Yea, they do not despise me,
2 我要引領你走進我母親的家，進入懷我者的內室；給你喝調香的美酒，石榴的甘釀
I lead thee, I bring thee in unto my mother's house, She doth teach me, I cause thee to drink of the perfumed wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate,
3 他的左手在我頭下，他的右手緊抱著我。◆新郎：
His left hand [is] under my head, And his right doth embrace me.
4 耶路撒冷女郎! 我懇求妳們，不要驚醒，也不要喚我的愛，讓她自便吧![第六幕：愛情的圓滿]◆耶京女郎：
I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, How ye stir up, And how ye wake the love till she please!
5 從曠野裏上來，那依偎著自己的愛人的，是誰﹖◆新郎：在蘋果樹下我喚醒了妳，在那裏妳的母親懷孕了妳，在那裏生養妳的，為妳受了產痛。◆新娘：
Who [is] this coming from the wilderness, Hasting herself for her beloved? Under the citron-tree I have waked thee, There did thy mother pledge thee, There she gave a pledge [that] bare thee.
Set me as a seal on thy heart, as a seal on thine arm, For strong as death is love, Sharp as Sheol is jealousy, Its burnings [are] burnings of fire, a flame of Jah! (Sheol h7585)
7 洪流不能熄滅愛情，江河不能將它沖去，如有人獻出全副家產想購買愛情，必受人輕視。◆新娘兄弟：
Many waters are not able to quench the love, And floods do not wash it away. If one give all the wealth of his house for love, Treading down — they tread upon it.
8 我的妹妹尚小，還沒有乳房；到了她議婚之日，為我們的妹妹，我們將作什麼﹖
We have a little sister, and breasts she hath not, What do we do for our sister, In the day that it is told of her?
9 她若是牆，我們就在上面建造銀堵，她若是門，我們就用香柏木閂來關鎖。◆新娘：
If she is a wall, we build by her a palace of silver. And if she is a door, We fashion by her board-work of cedar.
10 我是一道牆，我的乳房如同塔。我在他眼裏，實如獲得和平的女郎。◆新娘兄弟：
I [am] a wall, and my breasts as towers, Then I have been in his eyes as one finding peace.
11 撒羅滿在巴耳哈孟有個葡萄園，他將這葡萄園委托給看守的人；每人為園中的果子，應交一千兩銀子。◆新郎：
Solomon hath a vineyard in Baal-Hamon, He hath given the vineyard to keepers, Each bringeth for its fruit a thousand silverlings;
12 那屬我的葡萄園，就在我面前；撒羅滿! 一千兩銀子歸你，二百兩歸看守果子的人。◆新郎：
My vineyard — my own — is before me, The thousand [is] for thee, O Solomon. And the two hundred for those keeping its fruit. O dweller in gardens!
13 妳這住在果園中的女郎，願妳使我聽到妳的聲音! 同伴們都在等候細聽。◆新娘：
The companions are attending to thy voice, Cause me to hear. Flee, my beloved, and be like to a roe,
14 我的愛人! 願你仿效郁香山上的羚羊或幼鹿，趕快跑來!
Or to a young one of the harts on mountains of spices!
