< Song of Solomon 6 >
1 Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?
◆耶京女郎: 妳這女中極美麗的啊! 妳的愛人往那裏去了﹖妳的愛人轉向何處去了﹖妳讓我們同妳一起去尋找﹖◆新娘:
2 My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
我的愛人到自己的花園,到香畦去了,好在花園中牧羊,採百合花。
3 I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine. He browses among the lilies.
我屬於我的愛人,我的愛人屬於我,他在百合花間,牧放他的羊群。◆新郎:
4 You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.
我的愛卿! 妳美麗有如提爾匝,可愛有如耶路撒冷,莊嚴有如整齊的軍旅。
5 Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats, that lie along the side of Gilead.
轉過妳的眼去,不要看我,因為妳的眼使我迷亂;妳的頭髮猶如由基肋阿得山下來的一群山羊。
6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing, of which every one has twins; not one is bereaved among them.
妳的牙齒像一群浴後上來的母綿羊,都懷有雙胎,沒有不生育的。
7 Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
妳隱在面紗後的兩頰,有如分裂兩半的石榴。
8 There are sixty queens, eighty concubines, and virgins without number.
皇后六十,嬪妃八十,少女無數:
9 My dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother’s only daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed. The queens and the concubines saw her, and they praised her.
但是,我的鴿子,我的完人,只有一個,她是生養她者的愛女;少女見了她,都稱她有福;皇后與嬪妃,也都讚揚她。◆耶京女郎:
10 Who is she who looks out as the morning, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, and awesome as an army with banners?
「那上升如晨曦,美麗如月亮,光耀如太陽,莊嚴如整齊軍旅的,是誰﹖」[第五幕:愛情的享受]◆新娘:
11 I went down into the nut tree grove, to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded, and the pomegranates were in flower.
我下到核桃園中,要欣賞谷中的新綠,看看葡萄樹是否發了芽,石榴樹是否開了花﹖
12 Without realizing it, my desire set me with my royal people’s chariots.
我的熱誠摧促我登上了我民主上的御駕。
13 Return, return, Shulammite! Return, return, that we may gaze at you. Lover Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite, as at the dance of Mahanaim?
耶京女郎:1. 歸來,歸來! 叔拉米特! 歸來,歸來! 讓我看看妳! 妳們要看叔拉米特什麼﹖看她在兩隊中舞蹈。◆甲:
