Song of Solomon 5

1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, friends. Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.

◆新郎：我的妹妹，我的新娘! 我進入了我的花園，採了我的沒藥和香草，吃了我的蜂巢和蜂蜜，喝了我的酒和奶。我的朋友! 請你們吃，請你們喝；我親愛的，請你們痛飲![第四幕：愛情的試探和鞏固]◆新娘：

2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night."

我身雖睡，我心卻醒；我的愛人在敲門。◆新郎： 我的妹妹，我的愛卿， 我的鴿子，我的完人，請給我開門! 我的頭上滿了露水，我的髮辮滿了露珠。◆新娘：

3 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?

我已脫下長衣，怎能再穿﹖我己洗了腳，怎能再杇﹖

4 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.

我的愛人從門孔中伸進手來，我的五內大為感動。

5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.

我起來給我的愛人開門，一摸門閂，我的手就滴下沒藥，滴下純正的沒藥。

6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left; and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I did not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.

我給我的愛人開了門，我的愛人卻轉身走了；一見他走了，我妳不傷心。我尋覓，卻沒有找著；我呼喚他，他卻不答應。

7 The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.

巡行城市的守衛遇見了我，打傷了我；看守城牆的人，奪去了我身上的外衣

8 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love.

耶路撒冷女郎! 妳們若遇見了我的愛人，妳們要告訴他什麼﹖我懇求妳們告訴他：「我因愛成疾。」◆耶京女郎：

9 How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?

妳這女中極美麗的啊! 我的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人﹖妳的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人，致使妳這懇求我們﹖◆新娘：

10 My beloved is radiant and tan. The best among ten thousand.

我的愛人，皎潔紅潤，超越萬人。

11 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.

他的頭顱金碧輝煌，他的髮辮有如棕枝，漆黑有如烏鴉。

12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.

他的眼睛，有如站在溪旁的鵓鴿的眼；他的牙齒在奶中洗過，按在牙床上。

13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.

他的兩頰有如香花畦，又如芳草台；他的嘴脣有如百合花，滴流純正的沒藥。

14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.

他的手臂有如金管，鑲有塔爾史士寶石；他的軀幹是一塊象牙，鑲有碧玉

15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

他的兩腿像一對大理石，置於純金座上；他的容貌彷彿黎巴嫩，壯麗如同香柏樹。

16 His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

他滿面香甜，全然可愛。耶路撒冷女郎! 這就是我的愛人，這就是我的良友。
