< Song of Solomon 7 >
1 What shalt thou see in the Sulamitess but the companies of camps? How beautiful are thy steps in shoes, O prince’s daughter! The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, that are made by the hand of a skillful workman.
公主! 妳的腳穿上涼鞋,是多麼美麗!◆乙:

妳的兩腿,圓潤似玉,是藝術家手中的傑作。◆甲:妳的肚臍,有如圓樽,總不缺少調香的美酒。◆乙:妳的肚腹,有如一堆麥粒,周圍有百合花圍繞。◆甲:
3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
妳的兩個乳房,猶如羚羊的一對孿生的小羊。◆乙:
4 Thy neck as a tower of ivory. Thy eyes like the fishpools in Hesebon, which are in the gate of the daughter of the multitude. Thy nose is as the tower of Libanus, that looketh toward Damascus.
妳的頸項,猶如象牙寶塔。◆甲:妳的兩眼,好似赫市朋城巴特辣賓門旁的池塘。◆乙:妳的鼻子,仿佛黎巴嫩山上面對大馬士革的高塔。◆甲:

妳的頭顱聳立,好像加爾默耳山。◆乙:妳頭上的頭髮辮有如紫綿。◆甲乙:司王就為這髮辮所迷。◆新郎:
6 How beautiful art thou, and how comely, my dearest, in delights!
極可愛的,悅人心意的女郎,妳是多麼美麗! 多麼可愛!
7 Thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
妳的身材如同棕櫚樹,妳的乳房猶如棕櫚樹上的兩串果實。
8 I said: I will go up into the palm tree, and will take hold of the fruit thereof: and thy breasts shall be as the clusters of the vine: and the odour of thy mouth like apples.
我決意要攀上棕櫚樹,摘取樹上的果實。妳的乳房,的確像兩串葡萄;妳噓氣芬芳,實如蘋果的香味。
9 Thy throat like the best wine, worthy for my beloved to drink, and for his lips and his teeth to ruminate.
妳的口腔滴流美酒,直流入我口內,直流到我脣齒間。新娘:
10 I to my beloved, and his turning is towards me.
我屬於我的愛人,他醉心戀慕著我。
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field, let us abide in the villages.
我的愛人! 你來,我們往田野去,在鄉間過夜。
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards, let us see if the vineyard flourish, if the flowers be ready to bring forth fruits, if the pomegranates flourish: there will I give thee my breasts.
清晨起來,我們到葡萄園去,看看葡萄是否發芽,花朵是否怒放,石榴樹是否已開花;在那裏我要將我的愛獻給你。
13 The mandrakes give a smell. In our gates are all fruits: the new and the old, my beloved, I have kept for thee.
蔓陀羅花香四溢,我們的門旁有各種美果,新的舊的都有;我心愛的,我都為妳留下。
