< Song of Solomon 5 >

1 I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] bride; I have plucked my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my sugar-cane with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, ye companions; drink, yea, drink abundantly, ye friends.—
我妹子,我新婦, 我進了我的園中, 採了我的沒藥和香料, 吃了我的蜜房和蜂蜜, 喝了我的酒和奶。 〔耶路撒冷的眾女子〕 我的朋友們,請吃! 我所親愛的,請喝,且多多地喝!
2 I slept, but my heart was awake: [there was] the voice of my beloved that knocked, “Open for me, my sister, my beloved, my dove, my guiltless one; for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.”
我身睡臥,我心卻醒。 這是我良人的聲音; 他敲門說: 〔新郎〕 我的妹子,我的佳偶, 我的鴿子,我的完全人, 求你給我開門; 因我的頭滿了露水, 我的頭髮被夜露滴濕。
3 I have put off my coat: how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet: how shall I defile them?
我回答說: 我脫了衣裳,怎能再穿上呢? 我洗了腳,怎能再玷污呢?
4 My friend stretched forth his hand through the opening, and my inmost parts were moved for him.
我的良人從門孔裏伸進手來, 我便因他動了心。
5 I rose up myself to open for my friend; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with fluid myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
我起來,要給我良人開門。 我的兩手滴下沒藥; 我的指頭有沒藥汁滴在門閂上。
6 I indeed opened for my beloved; but my beloved had vanished, and was gone: my soul had failed me while he was speaking; I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he answered me not.
我給我的良人開了門; 我的良人卻已轉身走了。 他說話的時候,我神不守舍; 我尋找他,竟尋不見; 我呼叫他,他卻不回答。
7 Then found me the watchmen that walked about the city; they smote me, they wounded me: they took away my vail from me, they that watched the walls.
城中巡邏看守的人遇見我, 打了我,傷了我; 看守城牆的人奪去我的披肩。
8 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, what will ye tell him? that I am sick of love.—
耶路撒冷的眾女子啊,我囑咐你們: 若遇見我的良人, 要告訴他,我因思愛成病。
9 What is thy friend more than another's friend, O thou fairest of women? what is thy friend more than another's friend, that thus thou adjurest us?—
你這女子中極美麗的, 你的良人比別人的良人有何強處? 你的良人比別人的良人有何強處, 你就這樣囑咐我們?
10 My friend is white and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand.
我的良人白而且紅, 超乎萬人之上。
11 His head is bright as the finest gold, his locks are like waving foliage, and black as a raven.
他的頭像至精的金子; 他的頭髮厚密纍垂,黑如烏鴉。
12 His eyes are like [those of] doves by streamlets of waters, bathed in milk, well fitted in their setting.
他的眼如溪水旁的鴿子眼, 用奶洗淨,安得合式。
13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as turrets of sweet perfumes: his lips, like lilies, dropping with fluid myrrh.
他的兩腮如香花畦, 如香草臺; 他的嘴唇像百合花, 且滴下沒藥汁。
14 His hands are like wheels of gold beset with the chrysolite: his body, an image made of ivory overlaid with sapphires.
他的兩手好像金管, 鑲嵌水蒼玉; 他的身體如同雕刻的象牙, 周圍鑲嵌藍寶石。
15 His legs are like pillars of marble, resting upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent like the cedars.
他的腿好像白玉石柱, 安在精金座上; 他的形狀如黎巴嫩, 且佳美如香柏樹。
16 His palate is full of sweets, and every thing in him is agreeable. This is my friend, and this is my beloved, O daughters of Jerusalem.—
他的口極其甘甜; 他全然可愛。 耶路撒冷的眾女子啊, 這是我的良人; 這是我的朋友。
