Song of Solomon 5

1 I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse; 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; drink, yea, drink abundantly, beloved ones!

◆新郎：我的妹妹，我的新娘! 我進入了我的花園，採了我的沒藥和香草，吃了我的蜂巢和蜂蜜，喝了我的酒和奶。我的朋友! 請你們吃，請你們喝；我親愛的，請你們痛飲![第四幕：愛情的試探和鞏固]◆新娘：

2 I slept, but my heart was awake. The voice of my beloved! he knocketh: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, mine undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.

我身雖睡，我心卻醒；我的愛人在敲門。◆新郎： 我的妹妹，我的愛卿， 我的鴿子，我的完人，請給我開門! 我的頭上滿了露水，我的髮辮滿了露珠。◆新娘：

3 — I have put off my tunic, how should I put it on? I have washed my feet, how should I pollute them? —

我已脫下長衣，怎能再穿﹖我己洗了腳，怎能再杇﹖

4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door]; And my bowels yearned for him.

我的愛人從門孔中伸進手來，我的五內大為感動。

5 I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands dropped with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the lock.

我起來給我的愛人開門，一摸門閂，我的手就滴下沒藥，滴下純正的沒藥。

6 I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself; he was gone: My soul went forth when he spoke. I sought him, but I found him not; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

我給我的愛人開了門，我的愛人卻轉身走了；一見他走了，我妳不傷心。我尋覓，卻沒有找著；我呼喚他，他卻不答應。

7 The watchmen that went about the city found me; They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.

巡行城市的守衛遇見了我，打傷了我；看守城牆的人，奪去了我身上的外衣

8 I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved, ...What will ye tell him? — That I am sick of love.

耶路撒冷女郎! 妳們若遇見了我的愛人，妳們要告訴他什麼﹖我懇求妳們告訴他：「我因愛成疾。」◆耶京女郎：

9 What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, Thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, That thou dost so charge us?

妳這女中極美麗的啊! 我的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人﹖妳的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人，致使妳這懇求我們﹖◆新娘：

10 My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand.

我的愛人，皎潔紅潤，超越萬人。

11 His head is [as] the finest gold; His locks are flowing, black as the raven;

他的頭顱金碧輝煌，他的髮辮有如棕枝，漆黑有如烏鴉。

12 His eyes are like doves by the water-brooks, Washed with milk, fitly set;

他的眼睛，有如站在溪旁的鵓鴿的眼；他的牙齒在奶中洗過，按在牙床上。

13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, raised beds of sweet plants; His lips lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.

他的兩頰有如香花畦，又如芳草台；他的嘴脣有如百合花，滴流純正的沒藥。

14 His hands gold rings, set with the chrysolite; His belly is bright ivory, overlaid [with] sapphires;

他的手臂有如金管，鑲有塔爾史士寶石；他的軀幹是一塊象牙，鑲有碧玉

15 His legs, pillars of marble, set upon bases of fine gold: His bearing as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars;

他的兩腿像一對大理石，置於純金座上；他的容貌彷彿黎巴嫩，壯麗如同香柏樹。

16 His mouth is most sweet: Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, yea, this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

他滿面香甜，全然可愛。耶路撒冷女郎! 這就是我的愛人，這就是我的良友。
