Song of Solomon 5
1 I have come to my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink; drink freely, O beloved.
Aku datang ke kebunku, dinda, pengantinku, kukumpulkan mur dan rempah-rempahku; kumakan sarang lebah dan maduku, kuminum susu dan air anggurku.
2 I sleep, but my heart is awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”
Aku tidur, namun hatiku berjaga. Dengarlah, kekasihku mengetuk pintu.
3 I have taken off my robe— must I put it back on? I have washed my feet— must I soil them again?
Bajuku sudah kulepaskan; apakah akan kupakai lagi? Kakiku sudah kubasuh, apakah akan kukotori lagi?
4 My beloved put his hand to the latch; my heart pounded for him.
Berdebar-debar hatiku karena kekasihku memegang gagang pintu.
5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh on the handles of the bolt.
Maka bangunlah aku hendak membuka pintu bagi kekasihku. Mur menetes dari tangan dan jari-jariku, membasahi pegangan kancing pintu.
6 I opened for my beloved, but he had turned and gone. My heart sank at his departure. I sought him, but did not find him. I called, but he did not answer.
Kubukakan pintu bagi kekasihku, tetapi ia telah berbalik dan pergi. Aku sangat merindukan suaranya; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia. Kupanggil namanya, tapi ia tak menyahut.
7 I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city. They beat me and bruised me; they took away my cloak, those guardians of the walls.
Aku ditemui para peronda kota; mereka memukul dan melukai aku, selendangku mereka ambil dengan paksa.
8 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you, if you find my beloved, tell him I am sick with love.
Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bila kamu menemukan kekasihku, kabarkanlah kepadanya, bahwa aku sakit asmara.
9 How is your beloved better than others, O most beautiful among women? How is your beloved better than another, that you charge us so?
Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, hai gadis yang paling jelita? Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, sehingga engkau menyuruh kami berjanji?
10 My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
Kekasihku gagah dan tampan, unggul di antara sepuluh ribu orang.
11 His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
Kepalanya seperti emas, emas murni, rambutnya berombak dan hitam, sehitam gagak.
12 His eyes are like doves beside the streams of water, bathed in milk and mounted like jewels.
Matanya bagaikan merpati pada mata air, merpati bermandi susu, duduk di tepi kolam.
13 His cheeks are like beds of spice, towers of perfume. His lips are like lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh.
Pipinya seperti kebun rempah yang wangi, bibirnya bunga bakung yang meneteskan mur asli.
14 His arms are rods of gold set with beryl. His body is an ivory panel bedecked with sapphires.
Tangannya elok, bercincin emas dengan permata, tubuhnya bagaikan gading bertatah batu nilam.
15 His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, as majestic as the cedars.
Kakinya seperti tiang-tiang marmer putih, dengan alas emas murni. Perawakannya segagah gunung-gunung di Libanon, dan seanggun pohon aras.
16 His mouth is most sweet; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
Teramat manis tutur katanya, segala sesuatu padanya menarik. Begitulah kekasih dan sahabatku, hai putri-putri Yerusalem!
