< Song of Solomon 4 >
1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are doves behind thy veil; Thy hair is as a flock of goats, On the slopes of mount Gilead.
◆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 like a flock of shorn sheep, Which go up from the washing; Which have all borne twins, And none is barren 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 like a thread of scarlet, And thy speech is comely; As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples Behind 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 like the tower of David, Built for an armoury: A thousand bucklers hang thereon, All shields 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 like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, Which 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 flee away, I will get 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 love; And there is no spot in thee.
我的愛卿! 妳是全美的,妳毫無瑕疵。
8 [Come] with me, from Lebanon, [my] spouse, With me from Lebanon, — Come, look from the top of Amanah, From the top of Senir 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 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] spouse; 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 fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! How much better is thy love than wine! And the fragrance of thine ointments 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, [my] spouse, drop [as] the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under thy tongue; And the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
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 A garden enclosed is my sister, [my] spouse; A spring shut up, 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 paradise of pomegranates, with precious fruits; Henna with spikenard plants;
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 trees of frankincense; Myrrh and aloes, with all the 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 in the gardens, A well of living waters, Which stream from Lebanon.
妳是湧出的水泉,是從黎巴嫩流下的活水泉。新娘:
16 Awake, north wind, and come, [thou] south; Blow upon my garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow forth. Let my beloved come into his garden, And eat its precious fruits.
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!
