雅歌 2
1 我是沙 的玫瑰花， 是谷中的百合花。
I am [like] [MET] a flower/rose from the Sharon [Plain], and [like] [MET] a lily [that grows] in a valley.
2 我的佳偶在女子中， 好像百合花在荆棘内。
Among the [other] young women, the one whom I love is like [MET] a lily [growing] among thorns!
3 我的良人在男子中， 如同苹果树在树林中。 我欢欢喜喜坐在他的荫下， 尝他果子的滋味，觉得甘甜。
And among [the other] men, you, the man who loves me, are like [MET] an apple/fruit tree [that grows] in the forest. [You are like a tree whose] shadow [protects me from the sun], and your [being close to me] [EUP] is like [MET] eating sweet fruit.
4 他带我入筵宴所， 以爱为旗在我以上。
You led me to the (banquet room/room where we could make love), and it is evident that you love me very much.
5 求你们给我葡萄干增补我力， 给我苹果畅快我心， 因我思爱成病。
Refresh me and strengthen me [with your lovemaking] [like I am refreshed by eating] [MET, EUP] raisins and other fruit, because I very much desire that you love me even more.
6 他的左手在我头下； 他的右手将我抱住。
Put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
7 耶路撒冷的众女子啊， 我指着羚羊或田野的母鹿嘱咐你们： 不要惊动、不要叫醒我所亲爱的， 等他自己情愿。
You young women of Jerusalem, solemnly promise me, while the does and gazelles [are listening], that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.
8 听啊！是我良人的声音； 看哪！他蹿山越岭而来。
I hear the voice of the man who loves me. [It is as though] [MET] he is leaping over the mountains and skipping over the hills
9 我的良人好像羚羊，或像小鹿。 他站在我们墙壁后， 从窗户往里观看， 从窗棂往里窥探。
like [SIM] a deer or a gazelle. Now he is standing outside the wall of our house, looking in the window, and peering through the (lattice/wooden strips inside the window frame).
10 我良人对我说： 〔新郎〕 我的佳偶，我的美人， 起来，与我同去！
He spoke to me and said, “You whom I love, get up; my beautiful one, come with me [CHI]!
11 因为冬天已往， 雨水止住过去了。
Look, the (winter/cold season) is ended; the rain has stopped;
12 地上百花开放， 百鸟鸣叫的时候已经来到； 斑鸠的声音在我们境内也听见了。
flowers are blooming throughout the country/land. It is now time to sing; we hear the doves cooing.
13 无花果树的果子渐渐成熟； 葡萄树开花放香。 我的佳偶，我的美人， 起来，与我同去！
There are young/new figs on the fig trees, and there are blossoms on the grapevines and their fragrance fills the air. You whom I love, get up; my beautiful one, come with me!
14 我的鸽子啊，你在磐石穴中， 在陡岩的隐密处。 求你容我得见你的面貌， 得听你的声音； 因为你的声音柔和， 你的面貌秀美。
[You are like] [MET] a dove that is hiding [far from me] in an opening/crack in the rocky cliff. Show me your face, and allow me to hear your voice, because your voice is sweet-sounding and your face is lovely [CHI].”
15 要给我们擒拿狐狸， 就是毁坏葡萄园的小狐狸， 因为我们的葡萄正在开花。
[There are other men who are like] [MET] little jackals/foxes that ruin vineyards; do not allow [those men to attack me].
16 良人属我，我也属他； 他在百合花中牧放群羊。
You who love me, I belong to you and you belong to me, and you [experience pleasure when you kiss] my lips [like] [MET] a shepherd enjoys taking care of his sheep.
17 我的良人哪， 求你等到天起凉风、 日影飞去的时候， 你要转回，好像羚羊， 或像小鹿在比特山上。
You who love me, come and be like [SIM] a gazelle or like a young deer on the hills of Bether, and then flee like a deer at dawn [tomorrow morning], when the darkness fades.
