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。
You who are the daughter of a prince/king, you have lovely feet in your sandals. Your curved hips/thighs are like [SIM] jewels that have been made by a (skilled craftsman/man who shapes jewels very well).
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] [MET] a round bowl that is always full of wine mixed [with spices]. Your waist is [like] [SIM] a mound/bundle of wheat with lilies [growing] around it.
3 你的兩乳好像一對小鹿， 就是母鹿雙生的。
Your breasts are as [as beautiful] as [SIM] two (fawns/young gazelles).
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 like [SIM] a tower [made of] ivory. Your eyes [sparkle/shine like] [MET] the pools in Heshbon [city], near the Bath-Rabbim gate. Your nose is [is as lovely] as [SIM] the tower of Lebanon which faces toward 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 [majestic] like [SIM] Carmel Mountain. Your long hair is shiny [SIM] and black; [it is as though] I, your king, am captured by your tresses.
6 我所愛的，你何其美好！ 何其可悅，使人歡暢喜樂！
You whom I love, who have many charming features that attract me, are very beautiful and pleasant/pleasing.
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 stately like [SIM] a palm tree, and your breasts are like [SIM] clusters/bunches of dates/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 said [to myself], “I will climb that palm tree and take hold of those clusters of dates.” To me, your breasts are like clusters of grapes [that I can feel] and your breath is like the sweet fragrance 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。
and your kisses are like very good wine. My kisses [MTY] go to the one who loves me and flow [like wine] over his lips and his teeth.
10 我屬我的良人， 他也戀慕我。
I belong to the man who loves me, and he desires me.
11 我的良人，來吧！ 你我可以往田間去； 你我可以在村莊住宿。
You who love me, let’s go to the countryside, and sleep among the henna bushes (OR, in one of the villages).
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。
And let’s go early to the vineyards to see if the grapevines have budded and if there are blossoms on them that have opened, and to see if the pomegranate [trees] are blooming, and there I will make 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/love-apples are producing a fragrant odor, and we are surrounded by delightful [pleasures] [MET, EUP], new ones and old ones, pleasures that I have been saving to give to you, who love me.
