< 雅歌 6 >
1 你這女子中極美麗的, 你的良人往何處去了? 你的良人轉向何處去了, 我們好與你同去尋找他。
Chorus to Bride: Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? To where has your beloved turned aside, so that we may seek him with you?
2 我的良人下入自己園中, 到香花畦, 在園內牧放群羊, 採百合花。
Bride: My beloved has descended to his garden, to the courtyard of aromatic plants, in order to pasture in the gardens and gather the lilies.
3 我屬我的良人, 我的良人也屬我; 他在百合花中牧放群羊。
I am for my beloved, and my beloved is for me. He pastures among the lilies.
4 我的佳偶啊,你美麗如得撒, 秀美如耶路撒冷, 威武如展開旌旗的軍隊。
Groom to Bride: My love, you are beautiful: sweet and graceful, like Jerusalem; terrible, like an army in battle array.
5 求你掉轉眼目不看我, 因你的眼目使我驚亂。 你的頭髮如同山羊群臥在基列山旁。
Avert your eyes from me, for they have caused me to fly away. Your hair is like a flock of goats, which have appeared out of Gilead.
6 你的牙齒如一群母羊 洗淨上來,個個都有雙生, 沒有一隻喪掉子的。
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep, which have ascended from the washing, each one with its identical twin, and not one among them is barren.
Like the skin of a pomegranate, so are your cheeks, except for your hiddenness.
There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.
9 我的鴿子,我的完全人, 只有這一個是她母親獨生的, 是生養她者所寶愛的。 眾女子見了就稱她有福; 王后妃嬪見了也讚美她。
One is my dove, my perfect one. One is her mother; elect is she who bore her. The daughters saw her, and they proclaimed her most blessed. The queens and concubines saw her, and they praised her.
10 那向外觀看、如晨光發現、 美麗如月亮、皎潔如日頭、 威武如展開旌旗軍隊的是誰呢?
Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who advances like the rising dawn, as beautiful as the moon, as elect as the sun, as terrible as an army in battle array?
11 我下入核桃園, 要看谷中青綠的植物, 要看葡萄發芽沒有, 石榴開花沒有。
Bride: I descended to the garden of nuts, in order to see the fruits of the steep valleys, and to examine whether the vineyard had flourished and the pomegranates had produced buds.
I did not understand. My soul was stirred up within me because of the chariots of Amminadab.
13 回來,回來,書拉密女; 你回來,你回來,使我們得觀看你。 〔新娘〕 你們為何要觀看書拉密女, 像觀看瑪哈念跳舞的呢?
Chorus to Bride: Return, return, O Sulamitess. Return, return, so that we may consider you. Chorus to Groom: What will you see in the Sulamitess, other than choruses of encampments?
