< Song of Solomon 1 >
1 This is Solomon’s Song of Songs.
[第一幕:互相傾幕]雅歌,撒羅滿作。◆新娘:
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is more delightful than wine.
願君以熱吻與我接吻! 因為你的愛撫甜於美酒。
3 The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens adore you.
你的香氣芳怡人,你的令名香液四射,為此少女都愛慕你。
4 Take me away with you—let us hurry! May the king bring me to his chambers. We will rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right that they adore you.
願你拉著我隨你奔跑! 君王,願你引我進你的內室;我們都要因你歡樂踴躍,讚歎你那詌於酒的愛撫;怪不得眾少女都愛慕你!
5 I am dark, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
耶路撒冷女郎! 我雖黑,郤秀麗,有如刻達爾的帳棚,又似撒耳瑪的營幕。
6 Do not stare because I am dark, for the sun has gazed upon me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have neglected.
你們不要怪我黑,是太陽曬黑了我。我母親的兒子向我發怒,派我去看守葡萄園,我郤沒有去看守。
7 Tell me, O one I love, where do you pasture your sheep? Where do you rest them at midday? Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your companions?
我心愛的! 請告訴我:你在那兒放羊﹖中午又在那兒臥羊﹖別令我在你伴侶的羊群間,獨自徘徊!◆耶京女郎:
8 If you do not know, O fairest of women, follow the tracks of the flock, and graze your young goats near the tents of the shepherds.
女中的佳麗! 妳若不知道,出去跟蹤羊群的足跡,靠近牧人的帳棚,牧放妳的小羊。◆新郎:
9 I compare you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.
我的愛卿! 我看妳好似牝馬,套在法郎的御車上。
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
妳的雙頰配以耳環,妳的頸項繞以珠鏈,何其美麗!
11 We will make you ornaments of gold, studded with beads of silver.
我們要為妳製造金鏈,嵌上銀珠。◆新娘:
12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
君王正在坐席的時候,我的香膏已放出清香。
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
我的的愛人有如沒藥囊,常繫在我的胸前;
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi.
我的愛人有如鳳仙花,生在恩革狄葡萄園中。◆新郎:
15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how very beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.
我的愛卿,妳多麼美麗! 妳的雙眼有如鴿眼。◆新娘:
16 How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how delightful! The soft grass is our bed.
我的愛人,你多麼英俊,多麼可愛! 我們的未床榻,是青綠的草地。◆新郎:
17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are fragrant firs.
香松作我們的屋樑,扁柏作我們的屋椽。
