< Song of Solomon 1 >

1 This is Solomon’s Song of Songs.
所羅門的歌,是歌中的雅歌。
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is more delightful than wine.
願他用口與我親嘴; 因你的愛情比酒更美。
3 The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens adore you.
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。
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。
5 I am dark, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
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。
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.
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。
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?
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.
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。
9 I compare you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.
我的佳偶, 我將你比法老車上套的駿馬。
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
你的兩腮因髮辮而秀美; 你的頸項因珠串而華麗。
11 We will make you ornaments of gold, studded with beads of silver.
我們要為你編上金辮,鑲上銀釘。
12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
王正坐席的時候, 我的哪噠香膏發出香味。
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
我以我的良人為一袋沒藥, 常在我懷中。
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi.
我以我的良人為一棵鳳仙花, 在隱‧基底葡萄園中。
15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how very beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.
我的佳偶,你甚美麗!你甚美麗! 你的眼好像鴿子眼。
16 How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how delightful! The soft grass is our bed.
我的良人哪,你甚美麗可愛! 我們以青草為床榻,
17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are fragrant firs.
以香柏樹為房屋的棟樑, 以松樹為椽子。
