Song of Songs 8
1 I would that thou, O my kinsman, wert he that sucked the breasts of my mother; when I found thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, they should not despise me.
Ah, sekiranya engkau saudara kandungku, yang pernah menyusu pada ibuku, pasti kau kucium bila kujumpai di jalan, tak ada yang akan menghina aku.
2 I would take thee, I would bring thee into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me; I would make thee to drink of spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranates.
Engkau akan kubawa ke rumah ibuku, agar engkau dapat mengajari aku. Kau akan kuberi minum anggur harum, dan air buah delima.
3 His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
Tangan kirimu menopang aku, tangan kananmu memeluk aku.
4 I have charged you, ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the virtues of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bahwa kamu takkan mengganggu cinta, sampai ia dipuaskan.
5 Who is this that comes up all white, leaning on her kinsman? I raised thee up under an apple-tree; there thy mother brought thee forth; there she that bore thee brought thee forth.
Siapakah itu yang datang dari padang gurun, bersandar pada kekasihnya?
6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm; for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave, her shafts are shafts of fire, [even] the flames thereof. (Sheol h7585)
Jadikanlah aku buah hatimu, jangan memeluk siapa pun selain aku; karena cinta itu sekuat maut, dan nafsu berkuasa seperti kematian. Nyalanya seperti nyala api yang berkobar dengan dahsyat. (Sheol h7585)
7 Much water will not be able to quench love, and rivers shall not drown it; if a man would give all his substance for love, [men] would utterly despise it.
Air yang banyak tak mampu memadamkan cinta, dan banjir tak dapat menghanyutkannya. Jika seorang memberi segala hartanya untuk membeli cinta, pasti hanya penghinaan yang didapatnya.
8 Our sister is little, and has no breasts; what shall we do for our sister, in the day wherein she shall be spoken for?
Kami mempunyai seorang adik wanita yang masih kecil buah dadanya. Apa yang harus kami buat baginya bila ada yang datang meminangnya?
9 If she is a wall, let us build upon her silver bulwarks; and if she is a door, let us carve for her cedar panels.
Andaikata ia sebuah tembok, akan kami dirikan menara perak di atasnya. Andaikata ia sebuah gapura, akan kami palangi dengan kayu cemara.
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are as towers; I was in their eyes as one that found peace.
Aku ini sebuah tembok, dan buah dadaku menaranya. Kekasihku tahu bahwa pada dia aku bahagia.
11 Solomon had a vineyard in Beelamon; he let his vineyard to keepers; every one was to bring for its fruit a thousand [pieces] of silver.
Salomo mempunyai kebun anggur di Baal-Hamon; kebun itu diserahkannya kepada para penjaga. Masing-masing membayar seribu uang perak untuk hasilnya,
12 My vineyard, even mine, is before me; Solomon [shall have] a thousand, and they that keep its fruit two hundred.
dan mendapat dua ratus untuk jerih payahnya. Biarlah uang itu untukmu, Salomo, dan untuk para penjaga kebunmu. Tapi kebun anggurku, milikku sendiri, ada di hadapanku.
13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: make me hear [it].
Hai, penghuni kebun, teman-teman ingin mendengar suaramu; perdengarkanlah itu kepadaku!
14 Away, my kinsman, and be like a doe or a fawn on the mountains of spices.
Kekasihku, datanglah seperti kijang, seperti anak rusa di pegunungan Beter.
