< Song of Solomon 1 >
Kidung agung dari Salomo.
2 Let him kisse me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy loue is better then wine.
--Kiranya ia mencium aku dengan kecupan! Karena cintamu lebih nikmat dari pada anggur,
3 Because of the sauour of thy good ointments thy name is as an ointment powred out: therefore the virgins loue thee.
harum bau minyakmu, bagaikan minyak yang tercurah namamu, oleh sebab itu gadis-gadis cinta kepadamu!
4 Drawe me: we will runne after thee: the King hath brought me into his chabers: we will reioyce and be glad in thee: we will remember thy loue more then wine: the righteous do loue thee.
Tariklah aku di belakangmu, marilah kita cepat-cepat pergi! Sang raja telah membawa aku ke dalam maligai-maligainya. Kami akan bersorak-sorai dan bergembira karena engkau, kami akan memuji cintamu lebih dari pada anggur! Layaklah mereka cinta kepadamu!
5 I am blacke, O daughters of Ierusalem, but comely, as the tentes of Kedar, and as the curtaines of Salomon.
Memang hitam aku, tetapi cantik, hai puteri-puteri Yerusalem, seperti kemah orang Kedar, seperti tirai-tirai orang Salma.
6 Regard ye me not because I am blacke: for the sunne hath looked vpon mee. The sonnes of my mother were angry against mee: they made me the keeper of ye vines: but I kept not mine owne vine.
Janganlah kamu perhatikan bahwa aku hitam, karena terik matahari membakar aku. Putera-putera ibuku marah kepadaku, aku dijadikan mereka penjaga kebun-kebun anggur; kebun anggurku sendiri tak kujaga.
7 Shewe me, O thou, whome my soule loueth, where thou feedest, where thou liest at noone: for why should I be as she that turneth aside to the flockes of thy companions?
Ceriterakanlah kepadaku, jantung hatiku, di mana kakanda menggembalakan domba, di mana kakanda membiarkan domba-domba berbaring pada petang hari. Karena mengapa aku akan jadi serupa pengembara dekat kawanan-kawanan domba teman-temanmu?
8 If thou knowe not, O thou the fairest among women, get thee foorth by the steps of the flocke, and feede thy kiddes by the tents of the shepheards.
--Jika engkau tak tahu, hai jelita di antara wanita, ikutilah jejak-jejak domba, dan gembalakanlah anak-anak kambingmu dekat perkemahan para gembala.
9 I haue compared thee, O my loue, to the troupe of horses in the charets of Pharaoh.
--Dengan kuda betina dari pada kereta-kereta Firaun kuumpamakan engkau, manisku.
10 Thy cheekes are comely with rowes of stones, and thy necke with chaines.
Moleklah pipimu di tengah perhiasan-perhiasan dan lehermu di tengah kalung-kalung.
11 We will make thee borders of golde with studdes of siluer.
Kami akan membuat bagimu perhiasan-perhiasan emas dengan manik-manik perak.
12 Whiles the King was at his repast, my spikenard gaue the smelll thereof.
--Sementara sang raja duduk pada mejanya, semerbak bau narwastuku.
13 My welbeloued is as a bundle of myrrhe vnto me: he shall lie betweene my breasts.
Bagiku kekasihku bagaikan sebungkus mur, tersisip di antara buah dadaku.
14 My welbeloued is as a cluster of camphire vnto me in the vines of Engedi.
Bagiku kekasihku setangkai bunga pacar di kebun-kebun anggur En-Gedi.
15 My loue, beholde, thou art faire: beholde, thou art faire: thine eyes are like the doues.
--Lihatlah, cantik engkau, manisku, sungguh cantik engkau, bagaikan merpati matamu.
16 My welbeloued, beholde, thou art faire and pleasant: also our bed is greene:
--Lihatlah, tampan engkau, kekasihku, sungguh menarik; sungguh sejuk petiduran kita.
17 The beames of our house are cedars, our rafters are of firre.
Dari kayu aras balok-balok rumah kita, dari kayu eru papan dinding-dinding kita.
