Song of Solomon 8
1 Oh that thou were as my brother, who sucked the breasts of my mother! When I should find thee outside, I would kiss thee. Yes, and none would despise me.
Ah, sekiranya engkau saudara kandungku, yang pernah menyusu pada ibuku, pasti kau kucium bila kujumpai di jalan, tak ada yang akan menghina aku.
2 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.
Engkau akan kubawa ke rumah ibuku, agar engkau dapat mengajari aku. Kau akan kuberi minum anggur harum, dan air buah delima.
3 His left hand under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
Tangan kirimu menopang aku, tangan kananmu memeluk aku.
4 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake love, until it please.
Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bahwa kamu takkan mengganggu cinta, sampai ia dipuaskan.
5 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awoke thee. There thy mother was in travail with thee. There she who brought thee forth was in travail.
Siapakah itu yang datang dari padang gurun, bersandar pada kekasihnya?
6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm. For love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as Sheol. The flashes of it are flashes of fire, a most vehement flame. (Sheol h7585)
Jadikanlah aku buah hatimu, jangan memeluk siapa pun selain aku; karena cinta itu sekuat maut, dan nafsu berkuasa seperti kematian. Nyalanya seperti nyala api yang berkobar dengan dahsyat. (Sheol h7585)
7 Many waters cannot quench love, nor can floods drown it. If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.
Air yang banyak tak mampu memadamkan cinta, dan banjir tak dapat menghanyutkannya. Jika seorang memberi segala hartanya untuk membeli cinta, pasti hanya penghinaan yang didapatnya.
8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
Kami mempunyai seorang adik wanita yang masih kecil buah dadanya. Apa yang harus kami buat baginya bila ada yang datang meminangnya?
9 If she is a wall, we will build upon her a turret of silver. And if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
Andaikata ia sebuah tembok, akan kami dirikan menara perak di atasnya. Andaikata ia sebuah gapura, akan kami palangi dengan kayu cemara.
10 I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers. Then I was in his eyes as one who found peace.
Aku ini sebuah tembok, dan buah dadaku menaranya. Kekasihku tahu bahwa pada dia aku bahagia.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon. He let out the vineyard to keepers. Every one for the fruit of it was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
Salomo mempunyai kebun anggur di Baal-Hamon; kebun itu diserahkannya kepada para penjaga. Masing-masing membayar seribu uang perak untuk hasilnya,
12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me. Thou, O Solomon, shall have the thousand, and those who keep the fruit of it, two hundred.
dan mendapat dua ratus untuk jerih payahnya. Biarlah uang itu untukmu, Salomo, dan untuk para penjaga kebunmu. Tapi kebun anggurku, milikku sendiri, ada di hadapanku.
13 Thou who dwell in the gardens, the companions hearken for thy voice. Cause me to hear it.
Hai, penghuni kebun, teman-teman ingin mendengar suaramu; perdengarkanlah itu kepadaku!
14 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
Kekasihku, datanglah seperti kijang, seperti anak rusa di pegunungan Beter.
