Song of Solomon 8
1 O that you were to me like a brother who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.
萬望你的兄弟，吮過我母親的乳房，好叫我 外邊遇見你時，能親吻你，而不致受人輕視。
2 I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.
我要引領你走進我母親的家，進入懷我者的內室；給你喝調香的美酒，石榴的甘釀
3 His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
他的左手在我頭下，他的右手緊抱著我。◆新郎：
4 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
耶路撒冷女郎! 我懇求妳們，不要驚醒，也不要喚我的愛，讓她自便吧![第六幕：愛情的圓滿]◆耶京女郎：
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.
從曠野裏上來，那依偎著自己的愛人的，是誰﹖◆新郎：在蘋果樹下我喚醒了妳，在那裏妳的母親懷孕了妳，在那裏生養妳的，為妳受了產痛。◆新娘：
6 Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all. (Sheol h7585)
請將我有如印璽，放在你的心上，有如印璽，放在你肩上，因為愛情猛如死亡，妒愛頑如陰府：它的火焰，是上主的火焰。◆新郎： (Sheol h7585)
7 Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.
洪流不能熄滅愛情，江河不能將它沖去，如有人獻出全副家產想購買愛情，必受人輕視。◆新娘兄弟：
8 We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?
我的妹妹尚小，還沒有乳房；到了她議婚之日，為我們的妹妹，我們將作什麼﹖
9 If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver upon her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
她若是牆，我們就在上面建造銀堵，她若是門，我們就用香柏木閂來關鎖。◆新娘：
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.
我是一道牆，我的乳房如同塔。我在他眼裏，實如獲得和平的女郎。◆新娘兄弟：
11 Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.
撒羅滿在巴耳哈孟有個葡萄園，他將這葡萄園委托給看守的人；每人為園中的果子，應交一千兩銀子。◆新郎：
12 But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.
那屬我的葡萄園，就在我面前；撒羅滿! 一千兩銀子歸你，二百兩歸看守果子的人。◆新郎：
13 You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!
妳這住在果園中的女郎，願妳使我聽到妳的聲音! 同伴們都在等候細聽。◆新娘：
14 Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
我的愛人! 願你仿效郁香山上的羚羊或幼鹿，趕快跑來!
