< Song of Solomon 4 >

1 Behold, you [are] beautiful, my friend, behold, you [are] beautiful, Your eyes [are] doves behind your veil, Your hair as a row of the goats that have shone from Mount Gilead,
(الْمُحِبُّ): لَشَّدَ مَا أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةٌ يَا حَبِيبَتِي، لَشَّدَ مَا أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةٌ! عَيْنَاكِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ نَقَابِكِ كَحَمَامَتَيْنِ، وَشَعْرُكِ لِسَوَادِهِ كَقَطِيعِ مِعْزٍ مُنْحَدِرٍ مِنْ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ.١
2 Your teeth as a row of the shorn ones that have come up from the washing, For all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them.
أَسْنَانُكِ كَقَطِيعٍ مَجْزُوزٍ خَارِجٍ مِنَ الاغْتِسَالِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ ذَاتُ تَوْأَمٍ، وَمَا فِيهَا عَقِيمٌ.٢
3 As a thread of scarlet [are] your lips, And your speech [is] lovely, As the work of the pomegranate [is] your temple behind your veil,
شَفَتَاكِ كَخَيْطٍ مِنَ الْقِرْمِزِ، وَحَدِيثُ فَمِكِ عَذْبٌ، وَخَدَّاكِ كَفِلْقَتَيْ رُمَّانَةٍ خَلْفَ نَقَابِكِ.٣
4 As the Tower of David [is] your neck, built for an armory, The chief of the shields are hung on it, All shields of the mighty.
عُنُقُكِ مُمُاثِلٌ لِبُرْجِ دَاوُدَ الْمُشَيَّدِ لِيَكُونَ قَلْعَةً لِلسِّلاحِ، حَيْثُ عُلِّقَ فِيهِ أَلْفُ تُرْسٍ مِنْ تُرُوسِ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الصَّنَادِيدِ.٤
5 Your two breasts [are] as two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are feeding among lilies.
نَهْدَاكِ كَتَوْأَمَيْ ظَبْيَةٍ، تَوْأَمَيْنِ يَرْعَيَانِ بَيْنَ السَّوْسَنِ.٥
6 Until the day breaks forth, And the shadows have fled away, I go for myself to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense.
وَمَا يَكَادُ يَتَنَفَّسُ النَّهَارُ وَتَنْهَزِمُ الظِّلالُ حَتَّى أَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الْمُرِّ وَإِلَى تَلِّ اللُّبَانِ.٦
7 You [are] all beautiful, my friend, And there is not a blemish in you. Come from Lebanon, O spouse,
كُلُّكِ جَمِيلَةٌ يَا حَبِيبَتِي وَلا عَيْبَ فِيكِ.٧
8 Come from Lebanon, come in. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Hermon, From the habitations of lions, From the mountains of leopards.
تَعَالَيْ مَعِي مِنْ لُبْنَانَ يَا عَرُوسِي. تَعَالَيْ مَعِي مِنْ لُبْنَانَ! انْظُرِي مِنْ قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ أَمَانَةَ، مِنْ رَأْسِ سَنِيرَ وَحَرْمُونَ، فِي عَرِينِ الأُسُودِ، مِنْ جِبَالِ النُّمُورِ.٨
9 You have emboldened me, my sister-spouse, Emboldened me with one of your eyes, With one chain of your neck.
قَدْ سَلَبْتِ قَلْبِي، يَا أُخْتِي يَا عَرُوسِي! قَدْ سَلَبْتِ قَلْبِي بِنَظْرَةِ عَيْنَيْكِ وَقِلادَةِ عُنُقِكِ.٩
10 How beautiful have been your loves, my sister-spouse, How much better have been your loves than wine, And the fragrance of your perfumes than all spices.
مَا أَعْذَبَ حُبَّكِ يَا أُخْتِي يَا عَرُوسِي! لَكَمْ حُبُّكِ أَلَذُّ مِنَ الْخَمْرِ، وَأَرِيجُ أَطْيَابِكِ أَزْكَى مِنْ كُلِّ الْعُطُورِ.١٠
11 Your lips drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk [are] under your tongue, And the fragrance of your garments [Is] as the fragrance of Lebanon.
شَفَتَاكِ تَقْطُرَانِ شَهْداً أَيَّتُهَا الْعَرُوسُ، وَتَحْتَ لِسَانِكِ عَسَلٌ وَلَبَنٌ، وَرَائِحَةُ ثِيَابِكِ كَشَذَى لُبْنَانَ.١١
12 A garden shut up [is] my sister-spouse, A spring shut up—a fountain sealed.
أَنْتِ جَنَّةٌ مُغْلَقَةٌ يَا أُخْتِي الْعَرُوسَ. أَنْتِ عَيْنٌ مُقْفَلَةٌ وَيَنْبُوعٌ مَخْتُومٌ!١٢
13 Your shoots a paradise of pomegranates, With precious fruits,
أَغْرَاسُكِ فِرْدَوْسُ رُمَّانٍ مَعَ خِيرَةِ الأَثْمَارِ وَالحِنَّاءِ وَالنَّارْدِينِ.١٣
14 Cypresses with nard—nard and saffron, Cane and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices.
نَارِدِينٍ وَزَعْفَرَانَ، قَصَبِ الذَّرِيرَةِ وَقِرْفَةٍ مَعَ كُلِّ أَصْنَافِ اللُّبَانِ وَالْمُرِّ وَالْعُودِ مَعَ أَفْخَرِ الْعُطُورِ.١٤
15 A fount of gardens, a well of living waters, And flowings from Lebanon!
أَنْتِ يَنْبُوعُ جَنَّاتٍ وَبِئْرُ مِيَاهٍ حَيَّةٍ وَجَدَاوِلُ دَافِقَةٌ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ.١٥
16 Awake, O north wind, and come, O south, Cause my garden to breathe forth, its spices let flow, Let my beloved come to his garden, And eat its pleasant fruits!
(الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): اسْتَيْقِظِي يَا رِيحَ الشِّمَالِ، وَهُبِّي يَا رِيحَ الْجَنُوبِ، هُبِّي عَلَى جَنَّتِي فَيَنْتَشِرَ عَبِيرُهَا. لِيُقْبِلْ حَبِيبِي إِلَى جَنَّتِهِ وَيَتَذَوَّقْ أَطْيَبَ أَثْمَارِهَا.١٦
