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。
How I wish you were like a brother to me, one who nursed at my mother's breasts! Then if I met you on the street I could kiss you and no one would tell me off.
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。
Then I could take you home to my mother's house, where she used to teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranate.
3 他的左手必在我頭下； 他的右手必將我抱住。
He supports my head with his left hand, and holds me close with his right.
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。
Women of Jerusalem, swear to me that you won't disturb our love until the right time.
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。
Who is this coming in from the wilderness holding her love close to her? Woman: I woke you up under the apple tree where your mother conceived you, and where she gave birth to you.
Stamp my name as a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm, for love is strong as death, passion as unyielding as the grave—its arrows flash like fire, a blazing flame of the Lord. (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。
Floods of water cannot extinguish love; rivers cannot submerge it. If a man offered everything he owned in order to buy love he would be completely rejected.
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？
We have a younger sister whose breasts are still small. What shall we do for our sister when someone asks to marry her?
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, we will build a silver tower on it. But if she is a door, we will bar the way with cedar planks.
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。
I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So when he looks at me he's happy!
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。
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon which he leased to tenant farmers. Each of them paid him one thousand silver coins for the fruit it produced.
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。
But I own my vineyard, it is mine alone. One thousand silver coins are for you, Solomon, and two hundred for those who look after it.
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。
My darling, sitting there in the gardens with companions listening to you—please talk to me!
14 我的良人哪，求你快來！ 如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上。
Come quickly, my love! Be like a gazelle or a young deer on the mountains of spices.
