Song of Songs 5
1 Let my kinsman come down into his garden, and eat the fruit of his choice berries. I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spices; I have eaten my bread with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink; yes, brethren, drink abundantly.
--Aku datang ke kebunku, dinda, pengantinku, kukumpulkan mur dan rempah-rempahku, kumakan sambangku dan maduku, kuminum anggurku dan susuku. Makanlah, teman-teman, minumlah, minumlah sampai mabuk cinta!
2 I sleep, but my heart is awake: the voice of my kinsman knocks at the door, [saying], Open, open to me, my companion, my sister, my dove, my perfect one: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
Aku tidur, tetapi hatiku bangun. Dengarlah, kekasihku mengetuk. "Bukalah pintu, dinda, manisku, merpatiku, idam-idamanku, karena kepalaku penuh embun, dan rambutku penuh tetesan embun malam!"
3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them?
"Bajuku telah kutanggalkan, apakah aku akan mengenakannya lagi? Kakiku telah kubasuh, apakah aku akan mengotorkannya pula?"
4 My kinsman put forth his hand by the hole [of the door], and my belly moved for him.
Kekasihku memasukkan tangannya melalui lobang pintu, berdebar-debarlah hatiku.
5 I rose up to open to my kinsman; my hands dropped myrrh, my fingers choice myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
Aku bangun untuk membuka pintu bagi kekasihku, tanganku bertetesan mur; bertetesan cairan mur jari-jariku pada pegangan kancing pintu.
6 I opened to my kinsman; my kinsman was gone: my soul failed at his speech: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he answered me not.
Kekasihku kubukakan pintu, tetapi kekasihku sudah pergi, lenyap. Seperti pingsan aku ketika ia menghilang. Kucari dia, tetapi tak kutemui, kupanggil, tetapi tak disahutnya.
7 The watchman that go their rounds in the city found me, they struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
Aku ditemui peronda-peronda kota, dipukulinya aku, dilukainya, selendangku dirampas oleh penjaga-penjaga tembok.
8 I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and the virtues of the field: if you should find my kinsman, what are you to say to him? That I am wounded with love.
Kusumpahi kamu, puteri-puteri Yerusalem: bila kamu menemukan kekasihku, apakah yang akan kamu katakan kepadanya? Katakanlah, bahwa sakit asmara aku!
9 What is your kinsman [more] than [another] kinsman, O you beautiful among women? what is your kinsman [more] than [another] kinsman, that you have so charged us?
--Apakah kelebihan kekasihmu dari pada kekasih yang lain, hai jelita di antara wanita? Apakah kelebihan kekasihmu dari pada kekasih yang lain, sehingga kausumpahi kami begini?
10 My kinsman is white and ruddy, chosen out from myriads.
--Putih bersih dan merah cerah kekasihku, menyolok mata di antara selaksa orang.
11 His head is [as] very fine gold, his locks are flowing, black as a raven.
Bagaikan emas, emas murni, kepalanya, rambutnya mengombak, hitam seperti gagak.
12 His eyes are as doves, by the pools of waters, washed with milk, sitting by the pools.
Matanya bagaikan merpati pada batang air, bermandi dalam susu, duduk pada kolam yang penuh.
13 His cheeks are as bowls of spices pouring forth perfumes: his lips are lilies, dropping choice myrrh.
Pipinya bagaikan bedeng rempah-rempah, petak-petak rempah-rempah akar. Bunga-bunga bakung bibirnya, bertetesan cairan mur.
14 His hands are as turned gold set with beryl: his belly is an ivory tablet on a sapphire stone.
Tangannya bundaran emas, berhiaskan permata Tarsis, tubuhnya ukiran dari gading, bertabur batu nilam.
15 His legs are marble pillars set on golden sockets: his form is as Libanus, choice as the cedars.
Kakinya adalah tiang-tiang marmar putih, bertumpu pada alas emas murni. Perawakannya seperti gunung Libanon, terpilih seperti pohon-pohon aras.
16 His throat is most sweet, and altogether desirable. This is my kinsman, and this is my companion, O daughters of Jerusalem.
Kata-katanya manis semata-mata, segala sesuatu padanya menarik. Demikianlah kekasihku, demikianlah temanku, hai puteri-puteri Yerusalem.
