< Song of Solomon 8 >
1 O that you were as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find you without, I would kiss you; yea, I should not be despised.
巴不得你像我的兄弟, 像吃我母亲奶的兄弟; 我在外头遇见你就与你亲嘴, 谁也不轻看我。
2 I would lead you, and bring you into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
我必引导你, 领你进我母亲的家; 我可以领受教训, 也就使你喝石榴汁酿的香酒。
3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
他的左手必在我头下; 他的右手必将我抱住。
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that all of you stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
耶路撒冷的众女子啊, 我嘱咐你们: 不要惊动、不要叫醒我所亲爱的, 等他自己情愿。
5 Who is this that comes up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised you up under the apple tree: there your mother brought you forth: there she brought you forth that bare you.
那靠着良人从旷野上来的是谁呢? 〔新娘〕 我在苹果树下叫醒你。 你母亲在那里为你劬劳; 生养你的在那里为你劬劳。
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which has a most vehement flame. (Sheol )
求你将我放在你心上如印记, 带在你臂上如戳记。 因为爱情如死之坚强, 嫉恨如阴间之残忍; 所发的电光是火焰的电光, 是耶和华的烈焰。 (Sheol )
7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
爱情,众水不能息灭, 大水也不能淹没。 若有人拿家中所有的财宝要换爱情, 就全被藐视。
8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
我们有一小妹; 她的两乳尚未长成, 人来提亲的日子, 我们当为她怎样办理?
9 If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
她若是墙, 我们要在其上建造银塔; 她若是门, 我们要用香柏木板围护她。
10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
我是墙; 我两乳像其上的楼。 那时,我在他眼中像得平安的人。
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
所罗门在巴力·哈们有一葡萄园; 他将这葡萄园交给看守的人, 为其中的果子必交一千舍客勒银子。
12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
我自己的葡萄园在我面前。 所罗门哪,一千舍客勒归你, 二百舍客勒归看守果子的人。
13 You that dwell in the gardens, the companions hearken to your voice: cause me to hear it.
你这住在园中的, 同伴都要听你的声音, 求你使我也得听见。
14 Make haste, my beloved, and be you like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
我的良人哪,求你快来! 如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上。
