< Song of Solomon 1 >

1 This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
Højsangen, som er af Salomo.
2 Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
Han kysse mig med Kys af sin Mund; thi din Kærlighed er bedre end Vin.
3 The fragrance of the cologne on your [skin] is [very] sweet/pleasing [CHI]. And your reputation is [very] good and spreads, [like] [SIM] the fragrance of the special oil spread on your skin. That is why the [other] young women are attracted to you.
Dine Salver ere gode at lugte, dit Navn er som en Salve, der udgydes; derfor elske unge Piger dig.
4 Take me quickly; take me to your home. [It is as though] you are my king; take me into your room. We are very happy [DOU] about you; we say that your love [for each other] is better than wine. It is not surprising that the other young women adore you.
Drag mig! efter dig ville vi løbe; Kongen førte mig ind i sine inderste Kamre; vi ville fryde os og glæde os i dig, vi ville prise din Kærlighed mere end Vin; de oprigtige elske dig.
5 You women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful; my dark skin is like [SIM] the tents in Kedar, [or] like the beautiful curtains in Solomon’s palace.
Jeg er sort, dog yndig, I Jerusalems Døtre! som Kedars Pauluner, som Salomos Telte.
6 [But] do not stare at me because of the sun having caused my skin to become dark; my brothers were angry with me, [so] they forced me to work [out in the sunshine] in the vineyards, so I was not able to take good care of my body/skin [CHI, MET].
Ser ikke paa mig, at jeg er sort; thi Solen har brændt mig; min Moders Sønner ere blevne vrede paa mig, de have sat mig til Vingaardenes Vogterinde; min Vingaard, som jeg havde, har jeg ikke bevogtet.
7 You whom I [SYN] love, where will you take your flock of sheep today? Where will you allow them to rest at noontime? I want to know because it is not right [RHQ] for me to wander around like a prostitute looking for you among the flocks that belong to your friends.
Giv mig til Kende, du, hvem min Sjæl elsker! hvor du vogter, hvor du lader Hjorden ligge om Middagen, at jeg ikke skal være som en Kvinde, der gaar tilhyllet ved dine Medbrødres Hjorde.
8 You who are the most beautiful of all the women, if you [search for me and] do not know [where I will take my sheep], follow the tracks/footprints of the sheep. [Then] allow your young goats to (graze/eat grass) near the shepherds’ tents.
Dersom du ikke ved det, du dejligste iblandt Kvinderne! da gak ud i Faarenes Spor, og vogt dine Kid ved Hyrdernes Boliger!
9 You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.
Ved Hestene for Faraos Vogn ligner jeg dig, min Veninde!
10 Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.
Dine Kinder ere yndige under Kæderne og din Hals under Perlesnorene.
11 We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
Vi ville gøre dig Guldkæder med Sølvprikker.
12 While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
Saa længe Kongen var i sin Kreds, gav min Nardus sin Lugt.
13 The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.
Min elskede er mig en Myrrakugle, som forbliver imellem mine Bryster.
14 He is like [MET] a bunch of flowers from the vineyards at En-Gedi.
Min elskede er mig en Koferdrue, i Vingaardene, udi En-Gedi.
15 You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
Se, du, min Veninde! er dejlig; se, du er dejlig, dine Øjne ere Duer.
16 You who love me, you are very delightful/handsome, you are wonderful! This green grass will be [like] a couch [where we lie down].
Se, du, min elskede! er yndig, ja yndig, ja, vort Leje er grønt.
17 [Branches of] cedar [trees] will shade us; [it is as though branches of] juniper/pine [trees] will be like [MET] a roof [over our heads].
Vore Huses Bjælker ere Cedre, vort Loft er Cypresser.
