Song of Solomon 5

1 [HE] I have entered my garden, my sister, bride, I have plucked my myrrh, with my balsam, I have eaten the honey of my thicket, I have drunk my wine, with my milk: —Eat ye, O friends, Drink, yea drink abundantly, ye 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 [SHE] I, was sleeping, but, my heart, was awake, —The voice of my beloved—knocking! Open to me, my sister, my fair one, my dove, my perfect one, for, my head, is filled with dew, my locks, with the moisture 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 put off my tunic, oh how shall I put it on? I have bathed my feet, oh how shall 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 in his hand, at the window, and, my feelings, were deeply moved for him:

我的愛人從門孔中伸進手來，我的五內大為感動。

5 I myself, arose, to open to my beloved, —and, my hands, dripped with myrrh, and, my fingers, with myrrh distilling, upon the handles of the bolt.

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 myself, opened to my beloved, but, my beloved, had turned away, had passed on, —My soul, had gone out when he spake, I sought him, but found him not, I called him, but he answered not.

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 were going round in the city, found me, they smote me, wounded me, —The watchmen of the walls, took away my cloak from off 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, ye daughters of Jerusalem, —If ye find my beloved, what will ye tell him? That, sick with love, I am.

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 [DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM] What is thy beloved more than any other beloved, thou most beautiful among women? What is thy beloved more than any other beloved, that, thus, thou hast adjured 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 [SHE.] My beloved, is white and ruddy, conspicuous beyond ten thousand:

我的愛人，皎潔紅潤，超越萬人。

11 His head, is pure gold, —his locks, are 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, like doves, by the channels of water, —bathing in milk, set as gems in a ring:

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, like a raised bed of balsam, growing plants of perfume, —His lips, lilies, dripping with myrrh distilling:

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, cylinders of gold, set with topaz, —His body, wrought work of ivory, covered 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, pillars of white marble, founded on sockets of gold, —His form, like Lebanon, choice as 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, most sweet, yea, altogether, he is delightful, —This, is my beloved, yea, this, is my dear one, ye 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。
