雅歌 8
1 巴不得你像我的兄弟， 像吃我母親奶的兄弟； 我在外頭遇見你就與你親嘴， 誰也不輕看我。
Bride to Groom: Who will give you to me as my brother, feeding from the breasts of my mother, so that I may discover you outside, and may kiss you, and so that now no one may despise me?
2 我必引導你， 領你進我母親的家； 我可以領受教訓， 也就使你喝石榴汁釀的香酒。
I will take hold of you and lead you into my mother’s house. There you will teach me, and I will give you a cup of spiced wine, and of new wine from my pomegranates.
3 他的左手必在我頭下； 他的右手必將我抱住。
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
4 耶路撒冷的眾女子啊， 我囑咐你們： 不要驚動、不要叫醒我所親愛的， 等他自己情願。
Groom to Chorus: I bind you by oath, O daughters of Jerusalem, not to disturb or awaken the beloved, until she wills.
5 那靠着良人從曠野上來的是誰呢？ 〔新娘〕 我在蘋果樹下叫醒你。 你母親在那裏為你劬勞； 生養你的在那裏為你劬勞。
Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who ascends from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved? Groom to Bride: Under the apple tree, I awakened you. There your mother was corrupted. There she who bore you was violated.
Set me like a seal upon your heart, like a seal upon your arm. For love is strong, like death, and envy is enduring, like hell: their lamps are made of fire and flames. (Sheol h7585)
7 愛情，眾水不能熄滅， 大水也不能淹沒。 若有人拿家中所有的財寶要換愛情， 就全被藐視。
A multitude of waters cannot extinguish love, nor can a river overwhelm it. If a man were to give all the substance of his house in exchange for love, he would despise it as nothing.
8 我們有一小妹； 她的兩乳尚未長成， 人來提親的日子， 我們當為她怎樣辦理？
Chorus: Our sister is little and has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is called upon?
9 她若是牆， 我們要在其上建造銀塔； 她若是門， 我們要用香柏木板圍護她。
If she is a wall, let us build a rampart of silver upon it. If she is a door, let us join it together with boards of cedar.
10 我是牆； 我兩乳像其上的樓。 那時，我在他眼中像得平安的人。
Bride to Chorus: I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers, since, in his presence, I have become like one who has discovered peace.
11 所羅門在巴力‧哈們有一葡萄園； 他將這葡萄園交給看守的人， 為其中的果子必交一千舍客勒銀子。
The peaceful one had a vineyard, in that which held the peoples. He handed it on to the caretakers; a man brought, in exchange for its fruit, a thousand pieces of silver.
12 我自己的葡萄園在我面前。 所羅門哪，一千舍客勒歸你， 二百舍客勒歸看守果子的人。
Groom: My vineyard is before me. The thousand is for your peacefulness, and two hundred is for those who care for its fruit.
13 你這住在園中的， 同伴都要聽你的聲音， 求你使我也得聽見。
Bride to Groom: Your friends are attentive to those who have been dwelling in the gardens. Cause me to heed your voice.
14 我的良人哪，求你快來！ 如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上。
Flee away, my beloved, and become like the doe and the young stag upon the mountains of aromatic plants.
