< 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。
Oh that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, and none would 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 would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother’s house, who would instruct me; I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranate.
3 他的左手必在我頭下; 他的右手必將我抱住。
His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should 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。
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awaken love, until it please.
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 that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened thee: there thy mother was in travail with thee, there was she in travail that brought thee forth.
6 求你將我放在你心上如印記, 帶在你臂上如戳記。 因為愛情如死之堅強, 嫉恨如陰間之殘忍; 所發的電光是火焰的電光, 是耶和華的烈焰。 (Sheol h7585)
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the flashes thereof are flashes of fire, a very 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。
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would utterly be contemned.
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 little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
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 be a wall, we will build upon her a turret of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her 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。
I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers [thereof]: then was I in his eyes as one that found 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。
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring 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。
My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, shalt have the thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
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。
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken for thy voice: cause me to hear it.
14 我的良人哪,求你快來! 如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上。
Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
