< Song of Songs 8 >
1 I would that you, O my kinsman, were he that sucked the breasts of my mother; when I found you without, I would kiss you; yes, they should not despise me.
巴不得你像我的兄弟, 像吃我母親奶的兄弟; 我在外頭遇見你就與你親嘴, 誰也不輕看我。
2 I would take you, I would bring you into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me; I would make you to drink of spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranates.
我必引導你, 領你進我母親的家; 我可以領受教訓, 也就使你喝石榴汁釀的香酒。
3 His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
他的左手必在我頭下; 他的右手必將我抱住。
4 I have charged you, you daughters of Jerusalem, by the virtues of the field, that you stir not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
耶路撒冷的眾女子啊, 我囑咐你們: 不要驚動、不要叫醒我所親愛的, 等他自己情願。
5 Who is this that comes up all white, leaning on her kinsman? I raised you up under an apple tree; there your mother brought you forth; there she that bore you brought you forth.
那靠着良人從曠野上來的是誰呢? 〔新娘〕 我在蘋果樹下叫醒你。 你母親在那裏為你劬勞; 生養你的在那裏為你劬勞。
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, her shafts are shafts of fire, [even] the flames thereof. (Sheol )
求你將我放在你心上如印記, 帶在你臂上如戳記。 因為愛情如死之堅強, 嫉恨如陰間之殘忍; 所發的電光是火焰的電光, 是耶和華的烈焰。 (Sheol )
7 Much water will not be able to quench love, and rivers shall not drown it; if a man would give all his substance for love, [men] would utterly despise it.
愛情,眾水不能熄滅, 大水也不能淹沒。 若有人拿家中所有的財寶要換愛情, 就全被藐視。
8 Our sister is little, and has no breasts; what shall we do for our sister, in the day wherein she shall be spoken for?
我們有一小妹; 她的兩乳尚未長成, 人來提親的日子, 我們當為她怎樣辦理?
9 If she is a wall, let us build upon her silver bulwarks; and if she is a door, let us carve for her cedar panels.
她若是牆, 我們要在其上建造銀塔; 她若是門, 我們要用香柏木板圍護她。
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are as towers; I was in their eyes as one that found peace.
我是牆; 我兩乳像其上的樓。 那時,我在他眼中像得平安的人。
11 Solomon had a vineyard in Beelamon; he let his vineyard to keepers; every one was to bring for its fruit a thousand [pieces] of silver.
所羅門在巴力‧哈們有一葡萄園; 他將這葡萄園交給看守的人, 為其中的果子必交一千舍客勒銀子。
12 My vineyard, even mine, is before me; Solomon [shall have] a thousand, and they that keep its fruit two hundred.
我自己的葡萄園在我面前。 所羅門哪,一千舍客勒歸你, 二百舍客勒歸看守果子的人。
13 You that dwell in the gardens, the companions listen to your voice: make me hear [it].
你這住在園中的, 同伴都要聽你的聲音, 求你使我也得聽見。
14 Away, my kinsman, and be like a doe or a fawn on the mountains of spices.
我的良人哪,求你快來! 如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上。
