< Song of Solomon 4 >

1 How beautiful you look, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair flows down like a flock of goats descending Mount Gilead.
ああなんぢ美しきかな わが佳耦よ ああなんぢうるはしきかな なんぢの目は面帕のうしろにありて鴿のごとし なんぢの髪はギレアデ山の腰に臥たる山羊の群に似たり
2 Your teeth are as white as a flock of sheep that are just shorn and washed. None of them are missing—they are all perfectly matched.
なんぢの齒は毛を剪たる牝羊の浴塲より出たるがごとし おのおの雙子をうみてひとつも子なきものはなし
3 Your lips are as red as scarlet thread. Your mouth is gorgeous. Your cheeks are the blushing color of pomegranates behind your veil.
なんぢの唇は紅色の線維のごとく その口は美はし なんぢの頬は面帕のうしろにありて柘榴の半片に似たり
4 Your neck is as tall and shapely as David's tower, with your necklaces like the hanging shields of a thousand warriors.
なんぢの頸項は武器庫にとて建たるダビデの戍樓のごとし その上には一千の盾を懸け列ぬ みな勇士の大楯なり
5 Your breasts are like two fawns, two gazelles feeding among the lilies.
なんぢの兩乳房は牝獐の雙子なる二箇の小鹿が百合花の中に草はみをるに似たり
6 Before the morning breezes blow and the shadows disappear, I must hurry to those mountains of myrrh and frankincense.
日の涼しくなるまで 影の消るまでわれ沒藥の山また乳香の岡に行べし
7 You are incredibly beautiful, my darling—you are absolutely flawless!
わが佳耦よ なんぢはことごとくうるはしくしてすこしのきずもなし
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come from Lebanon. Come down from the peak of Amana, from the peaks of Senir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains where leopards live.
新婦よ レバノンより我にともなへ レバノンより我とともに來れ アマナの巓セニルまたヘルモンの巓より望み 獅子の穴また豹の山より望め
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride. With just one look you stole my heart, with just one sparkle from a single one of your necklaces.
わが妹わが新婦よ なんぢはわが心を奪へり なんぢは只一目をもてまた頸玉の一をもてわが心をうばへり
10 How wonderful is your love, my sister, my bride! Your love is sweeter than wine. The way you smell from your perfumed oils is better than any spice.
わが妹わが新婦よ なんぢの愛は樂しきかな なんぢの愛は酒よりも遙にすぐれ なんぢの香膏の馨は一切の香物よりもすぐれたり 新婦よ なんぢの唇は蜜を滴らす なんぢの舌の底には蜜と乳とあり なんぢの衣裳の香氣はレバノンの香氣のごとし
11 Nectar drips from your lips; milk and honey are under your tongue. The smell of your clothes is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
12 My sister, my bride, is a locked garden, a spring of water that is closed, a fountain that is sealed.
わが妹わがはなよめよ なんぢは閉たる園 閉ぢたる水源 封じたる泉水のごとし
13 Your channel is a paradise of pomegranates, full of the best fruits, with henna and nard,
なんぢの園の中に生いづる者は石榴及びもろもろの佳果またコペル及びナルダの草
14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all kinds of trees producing frankincense, myrrh, aloes, and the finest spices.
ナルダ 番紅花 菖蒲 桂枝さまざまの乳香の木および沒藥 蘆薈一切の貴とき香物なり
15 You are a garden fountain, a well of living water, a flowing stream from Lebanon.
なんぢは園の泉水 活る水の井 レバノンよりいづる流水なり
16 Wake up, north wind! Come, south wind! Blow on my garden so its scent may be carried on the breeze. Let my love come to his garden and eat its best fruits.
北風よ起れ 南風よ來れ 我園を吹てその香氣を揚よ ねがはくはわが愛する者のおのが園にいりきたりてその佳き果を食はんことを
