< 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!
わが妹わがはなよめよ 我はわが園にいり わが沒藥と薫物とを採り わが蜜房と蜜とを食ひ わが酒とわが乳とを飮り わが伴侶等よ 請ふ食へ わが愛する人々よ 請ふ飮あけよ
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.
われは睡りたれどもわが心は醒ゐたり 時にわが愛する者の聲あり 即はち門をたたきていふ わが妹わが佳耦 わが鴿 わが完きものよ われのために開け わが首には露滿ち わが髪の毛には夜の點滴みてりと
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?
われすでにわが衣服を脱げり いかでまた着るべき 已にわが足を洗へり いかでまた汚すべき
4 My beloved, thrust in his hand, at the window, and, my feelings, were deeply moved for him:
わが愛する者戸の穴より手をさしいれしかば わが心かれのためにうごきたり
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.
やがて起いでてわが愛する者の爲に開かんとせしとき 沒藥わが手より沒藥の汁わが指よりながれて關木の把柄のうへにしたたれり
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.
我わが愛する者の爲に開きしに わが愛する者は已に退き去りぬ さきにその物いひし時はわが心さわぎたり 我かれをたづねたれども遇ず 呼たれども答應なかりき
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.
邑をまはりありく夜巡者等われを見てうちて傷つけ 石垣をまもる者らはわが上衣をはぎとれり
8 I adjure you, ye daughters of Jerusalem, —If ye find my beloved, what will ye tell him? That, sick with love, I am.
エルサレムの女子等よ 我なんぢらにかたく請ふ もしわが愛する者にあはば汝ら何とこれにつぐべきや 我愛によりて疾わづらふと告げよ
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?
なんぢの愛する者は別の人の愛する者に何の勝れるところありや 婦女の中のいと美はしき者よ なんぢが愛する者は別の人の愛する者に何の勝れるところありて斯われらに固く請ふや
10 [SHE.] My beloved, is white and ruddy, conspicuous beyond ten thousand:
わが愛する者は白くかつ紅にして萬人の上に越ゆ その頭は純金のごとく その髪はふさやかにして黒きこと烏のごとし
11 His head, is pure gold, —his locks, are bushy, black as a raven;
12 His eyes, like doves, by the channels of water, —bathing in milk, set as gems in a ring:
その目は谷川の水のほとりにをる鴿のごとく 乳にて洗はれて美はしく嵌れり
13 His cheeks, like a raised bed of balsam, growing plants of perfume, —His lips, lilies, dripping with myrrh distilling:
その頬は馨しき花の床のごとく 香草の壇のごとし その唇は百合花のごとくにして沒藥の汁をしたたらす
14 His hands, cylinders of gold, set with topaz, —His body, wrought work of ivory, covered with sapphires:
その手はきばみたる碧玉を嵌し黄金の釧のごとく 其躰は青玉をもておほひたる象牙の彫刻物のごとし
15 His legs, pillars of white marble, founded on sockets of gold, —His form, like Lebanon, choice as cedars:
その脛は蝋石の柱を黄金の臺にてたてたるがごとく その相貌はレバノンのごとく その優れたるさまは香柏のごとし
16 His mouth, most sweet, yea, altogether, he is delightful, —This, is my beloved, yea, this, is my dear one, ye daughters of Jerusalem.
その口ははなはだ甘く誠に彼には一つだにうつくしからぬ所なし エルサレムの女子等よ これぞわが愛する者 これぞわが伴侶なる
