< Song of Songs 4 >
1 Behold, thou art fair, my companion; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are doves, beside thy veil: thy hair is as flocks of goats, that have appeared from Galaad.
◆新郎: 我的愛卿! 妳多麼美麗! 妳的兩眼隱在面紗後,有如一對鴿眼;妳的頭髮猶如由基肋阿得山下來的一群山羊。
2 Thy teeth are as flocks of shorn [sheep], that have gone up from the washing; all of them bearing twins, and there is not a barren one among them.
妳的牙齒像一群剪毛後洗潔上來的母綿羊,都懹有雙胎,沒有不生育的。
3 Thy lips are as a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: like the rind of a pomegranate is thy cheek without thy veil.
妳的嘴脣像一縷朱紅線,妳的小口嬌美可愛;妳隱在面紗後的兩頰,有如分兩半的石榴。
4 Thy neck is as the tower of David, that was built for an armoury: a thousand shields hang upon it, [and] all darts of mighty men.
妳的頭頸宛如達味的寶塔,建築如寶疊,懸有上千的盾牌都是武士的利器。
5 Thy two breasts are as two twin fawns, that feed among the lilies.
妳的兩個乳房,好似母羚羊的一對孿生小羚羊,牧放在百合花中。
6 Until the day dawn, and the shadows depart, I will betake me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
趁晚風還未生涼,日影還未消失,我要到沒藥山,上乳香嶺。
7 Thou art all fair, my companion, and there is no spot in thee.
我的愛卿! 妳是全美的,妳毫無瑕疵。
8 Come from Libanus, [my] bride, come from Libanus: thou shalt come and pass from the top of Faith, from the top of Sanir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
妳從黎巴嫩下來,離開阿瑪納山巔,色尼爾和赫爾孟山頂,獅子的巢穴,豹子的山崗。
9 My sister, [my] spouse, thou hast ravished my heart; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
,妳奪去了我的心! 妳回目一顧,妳項鏈上的一顆珍珠,奪去了我的心。
10 How beautiful are thy breasts, my sister, my spouse! how much more beautiful are thy breasts than wine, and the smell of thy garments than all spices!
我的妹妹,我的新娘! 妳的愛撫多麼甘甜,妳的愛撫勝過美洒,妳香液的芬芳超越一切的香料。
11 Thy lips drop honeycomb, my spouse: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is as the smell of Libanus.
我的新娘! 妳的嘴脣滴流巒蜜,妳的舌下有蜜有奶;妳衣服的芬芳好似乳香。
12 My sister, [my] spouse is a garden enclosed; a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed.
我的妹妹,我的新娘! 是關閉的花園,是一座關鎖的花園,我一個封鎖的泉源。
13 Thy shoots are a garden of pomegranates, with the fruit of choice berries; camphor, with spikenard:
妳吐苗萌芽,形成了石榴園,內有各種珍奇的果木:鳳仙和玫瑰,杳樹,
14 spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon; with all woods of Libanus, myrrh, aloes, with all chief spices:
甘松和番紅,丁香和肉桂,各種乳香樹,沒藥蘆薈,以及各種奇香異草。
15 a fountain of a garden, and a well of water springing and gurgling from Libanus.
妳是湧出的水泉,是從黎巴嫩流下的活水泉。新娘:
16 Awake, O north wind; and come, O south; and blow through my garden, and let my spices flow out.
北風,吹來! 南風,吹來! 吹向我的花園,使它的清香四溢。願我的愛人進入他的花園,品嘗其中的佳果!
