Song of Solomon 8

1 Oh that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, and none would 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 lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother’s house, who would instruct me; I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranate.

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 adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awaken love, until it 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 cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened thee: there thy mother was in travail with thee, there was she in travail that brought thee 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 thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the flashes thereof are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD. (Sheol h7585)

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 h7585)

7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would utterly be contemned.

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 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when 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 be a wall, we will build upon her a turret of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

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 like the towers [thereof]: then was I in his 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 at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring 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, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, shalt have the thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof 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 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken for thy voice: cause me to 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 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

我的良人哪，求你快來！ 如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上。
