< Song of Solomon 4 >
1 Look, you are beautiful, my love. Look, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is as a flock of goats, that descend from Mount Gilead.
ああなんぢ美はしきかな わが佳耦よ ああなんぢうるはしきかな なんぢの目は面帕のうしろにありて鴿のごとし なんぢの髮はギレアデ山の腰に臥たる山羊の群に似たり
2 Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock, which have come up from the washing, where every one of them has twins. None is bereaved among them.
なんぢの齒は毛を剪たる牝羊の浴塲より出たるがごとし おのおの雙子をうみてひとつも子なきものはなし
3 Your lips are like scarlet thread. Your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
なんぢの唇は紅色の線維のごとく その口は美はし なんぢの頬は面帕のうしろにありて石榴の半片に似たり
4 Your neck is like David's tower built for an armory, whereon a thousand shields hang, all the shields of the mighty men.
なんぢの頸項は武器庫にとて建たるダビデの戍樓のごとし その上には一千の盾を懸け列ぬ みな勇士の大楯なり
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a gazelle, which feed among the lilies.
なんぢの兩乳房は牝獐の雙子なる二箇の小鹿が百合花の中に草はみをるに似たり
6 Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, to the hill of frankincense.
日の涼しくなるまで 影の消るまでわれ沒藥の山また乳香の岡に行べし
7 You are all beautiful, my love. There is no spot in you.
わが佳耦よ なんぢはことごとくうるはしくしてすこしのきずもなし
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
新婦よ レバノンより我にともなへ レバノンより我とともに來れ アマナの巓セニルまたヘルモンの巓より望み 獅子の穴また豹の山より望め
9 You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride. You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.
わが妹わが新婦よ なんぢはわが心を奪へり なんぢは只一目をもてまた頸玉の一をもてわが心をうばへり
10 How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride. How much better is your love than wine. The fragrance of your perfumes than all manner of spices.
わが妹わが新婦よ なんぢの愛は樂しきかな なんぢの愛は酒よりも遙にすぐれ なんぢの香膏の馨は一切の香物よりもすぐれたり
11 Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
新婦よ なんぢの唇は蜜を滴らす なんぢの舌の底には蜜と乳とあり なんぢの衣裳の香氣はレバノンの香氣のごとし
12 A locked up garden is my sister, my bride; a locked up spring, a sealed fountain.
わが妹わがはなよめよ なんぢは閉たる園 閉たる水源 封じたる泉水のごとし
13 Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits: henna with spikenard plants,
なんぢの園の中に生いづる者は石榴及びもろもろの佳果またコペル及びナルダの草
14 spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree; myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,
ナルダ 番紅花 菖蒲 桂枝さまざまの乳香の木および沒藥 蘆薈一切の貴とき香物なり
15 a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, flowing streams from Lebanon.
なんぢは園の泉水 活る水の井 レバノンよりいづる流水なり
16 Awake, north wind; and come, you south. Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and taste his precious fruits.
北風よ起れ 南風よ來れ 我園を吹てその香氣を揚よ ねがはくはわが愛する者のおのが園にいりきたりてその佳き果を食はんことを
