< Song of Solomon 8 >

1 How I wish you were like a brother to me, one who nursed at my mother's breasts! Then if I met you on the street I could kiss you and no one would tell me off.
ねがはくは汝わが母の乳をのみしわが兄弟のごとくならんことを われ戸外にてなんぢに遇ふとき接吻せん 然するとも誰ありてわれをいやしむるものあらじ
2 Then I could take you home to my mother's house, where she used to teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranate.
われ汝をひきてわが母の家にいたり 汝より教晦をうけん 我かぐはしき酒 石榴のあまき汁をなんぢに飮しめん
3 He supports my head with his left hand, and holds me close with his right.
かれが左の手はわが頭の下にあり その右の手をもて我を抱く
4 Women of Jerusalem, swear to me that you won't disturb our love until the right time.
エルサレムの女子等よ 我なんぢ等に誓ひて請ふ 愛のおのづから起る時まで殊更に喚起し且つ醒すなかれ
5 Who is this coming in from the wilderness holding her love close to her? Woman: I woke you up under the apple tree where your mother conceived you, and where she gave birth to you.
おのれの愛する者に倚かかりて荒野より上りきたる者は誰ぞや 林檎の樹の下にてわれなんぢを喚さませり なんぢの母かしこにて汝のために劬勞をなし なんぢを産し者かしこにて劬勞をなしぬ
6 Stamp my name as a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm, for love is strong as death, passion as unyielding as the grave—its arrows flash like fire, a blazing flame of the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
われを汝の心におきて印のごとくし なんぢの腕におきて印のごとくせよ 其の愛は強くして死のごとく 嫉妬は堅くして陰府にひとし その熖は火のほのほのごとし いともはげしき熖なり (Sheol h7585)
7 Floods of water cannot extinguish love; rivers cannot submerge it. If a man offered everything he owned in order to buy love he would be completely rejected.
愛は大水も消ことあたはず 洪水も溺らすことあたはず 人その家の一切の物をことごとく與へて愛に換んとするとも尚いやしめらるべし
8 We have a younger sister whose breasts are still small. What shall we do for our sister when someone asks to marry her?
われら小さき妹子あり 未だ乳房あらず われらの妹子の問聘をうくる日には之に何をなしてあたへんや
9 If she is a wall, we will build a silver tower on it. But if she is a door, we will bar the way with cedar planks.
かれもし石垣ならんには我ら白銀の城をその上にたてん 彼もし戸ならんには香柏の板をもてこれを圍まん
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So when he looks at me he's happy!
われは石垣わが乳房は戍樓のごとし 是をもてわれは情をかうむれる者のごとく彼の目の前にありき バアルハモンにソロモンの葡萄園をもてり これをその守る者等にあづけおき 彼等をしておのおの銀一千をその果のために納めしむ
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon which he leased to tenant farmers. Each of them paid him one thousand silver coins for the fruit it produced.
12 But I own my vineyard, it is mine alone. One thousand silver coins are for you, Solomon, and two hundred for those who look after it.
われ自らの有なる葡萄園われの手にあり ソロモンなんぢは一千を獲よ その果をまもる者も二百を獲べし
13 My darling, sitting there in the gardens with companions listening to you—please talk to me!
なんぢ園の中に住む者よ 伴侶等なんぢの聲に耳をかたむく 請ふ我にこれを聽しめよ
14 Come quickly, my love! Be like a gazelle or a young deer on the mountains of spices.
わが愛する者よ 請ふ急ぎはしれ 香はしき山々の上にありて獐のごとく 小鹿のごとくあれ
