雅歌 7

1 王女啊，你的腳在鞋中何其美好！ 你的大腿圓潤，好像美玉， 是巧匠的手做成的。

How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess! Your curved thighs are like ornaments made by a master craftsman.

2 你的肚臍如圓杯， 不缺調和的酒； 你的腰如一堆麥子， 周圍有百合花。

Your navel is like a round bowl—may it never lack spiced wine! Your abdomen is like a mound of wheat surrounded by lilies.

3 你的兩乳好像一對小鹿， 就是母鹿雙生的。

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

4 你的頸項如象牙臺； 你的眼目像希實本、巴特‧拉併門旁的水池； 你的鼻子彷彿朝大馬士革的黎巴嫩塔。

Your neck is as elegant as a tower made of ivory. Your eyes shine like the pools of Heshbon by the Bathrabbin gate. Your nose is beautiful, prominent like the tower in Lebanon that faces Damascus.

5 你的頭在你身上好像迦密山； 你頭上的髮是紫黑色； 王的心因這下垂的髮綹繫住了。

Your head is as magnificent as Mount Carmel; your black hair has a purple sheen, as if a king was held captive in your locks!

6 我所愛的，你何其美好！ 何其可悅，使人歡暢喜樂！

How beautiful you are, my love—how attractive are your charms!

7 你的身量好像棕樹； 你的兩乳如同其上的果子，纍纍下垂。

You are as tall and slender as a palm tree; your breasts are like its clusters of fruit.

8 我說：我要上這棕樹，抓住枝子。 願你的兩乳好像葡萄纍纍下垂， 你鼻子的氣味香如蘋果；

I tell myself, “I will climb the palm tree and take hold of the fruit.” May your breasts be like bunches of grapes on the vine, and your breath have the scent of apples!

9 你的口如上好的酒。 〔新娘〕 女子說：為我的良人下咽舒暢， 流入睡覺人的嘴中。

May your kisses be like the best wine, going down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth.

10 我屬我的良人， 他也戀慕我。

My love is mine, and I am the one he desires!

11 我的良人，來吧！ 你我可以往田間去； 你我可以在村莊住宿。

Come, my love, let's go out into the countryside, and spend the night among the henna flowers.

12 我們早晨起來往葡萄園去， 看看葡萄發芽開花沒有， 石榴放蕊沒有； 我在那裏要將我的愛情給你。

Let's go early to the vineyards and see if the vines have budded and are in flower, and if the pomegranates are blossoming. There I will give my love to you.

13 風茄放香， 在我們的門內有各樣新陳佳美的果子； 我的良人，這都是我為你存留的。

The mandrakes give off their fragrant scent; we are surrounded by all kinds of delights, new as well as old, which I have saved up for you, my love.
