< 雅歌 1 >
The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.
3 你的膏油馨香; 你的名如同倒出來的香膏, 所以眾童女都愛你。
Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.
4 願你吸引我,我們就快跑跟隨你。 王帶我進了內室, 我們必因你歡喜快樂。 我們要稱讚你的愛情, 勝似稱讚美酒。 他們愛你是理所當然的。
Take me away with you. Let’s hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are right to love you.
5 耶路撒冷的眾女子啊, 我雖然黑,卻是秀美, 如同基達的帳棚, 好像所羅門的幔子。
I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains.
6 不要因日頭把我曬黑了就輕看我。 我同母的弟兄向我發怒, 他們使我看守葡萄園; 我自己的葡萄園卻沒有看守。
Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.
7 我心所愛的啊,求你告訴我, 你在何處牧羊? 晌午在何處使羊歇臥? 我何必在你同伴的羊群旁邊 好像蒙着臉的人呢?
Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; for why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions?
8 你這女子中極美麗的, 你若不知道, 只管跟隨羊群的腳蹤去, 把你的山羊羔牧放在牧人帳棚的旁邊。
If you don’t know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.
I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.
10 你的兩腮因髮辮而秀美; 你的頸項因珠串而華麗。
Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
We will make you earrings of gold, with studs of silver.
While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.
14 我以我的良人為一棵鳳仙花, 在隱‧基底葡萄園中。
My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
15 我的佳偶,你甚美麗!你甚美麗! 你的眼好像鴿子眼。
Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are like doves.
16 我的良人哪,你甚美麗可愛! 我們以青草為床榻,
Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant.
The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.
