Song of Solomon 1
1 This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
Salomon korkea veisu.
2 Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
Hän suudelkoon minua suunsa suudelmilla. Sillä sinun rakkautesi on suloisempi kuin viini.
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.
Suloinen on voiteittesi tuoksu, vuodatettu öljy on sinun nimesi; sentähden sinua nuoret naiset rakastavat.
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.
Vedä minut mukaasi, rientäkäämme! Kuningas on tuonut minut kammioihinsa. Me riemuitsemme ja iloitsemme sinusta, me ylistämme sinun rakkauttasi enemmän kuin viiniä; syystä he sinua rakastavat.
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.
"Minä olen musta, mutta ihana, te Jerusalemin tyttäret, kuin Keedarin teltat, kuin Salomon seinäverhot.
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].
Älkää katsoko sitä, että minä olen musta, päivän paahtama. Äitini pojat vihastuivat minuun, panivat minut viinitarhain vartijaksi-omaa viinitarhaani en vartioinut."
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.
"Sano minulle sinä, jota sieluni rakastaa, missä laumaasi paimennat, missä annat sen keskipäivällä levätä. Miksi minä hunnutettuna joutuisin sinun toveriesi laumain luo!"
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.
"Jos et sitä tiedä, sinä naisista kaunein, käy lammasten jälkiä ja kaitse vohliasi paimenten telttapaikoilla."
9 You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.
"Tammaani, joka on faraon vaunujen edessä, sinut, armaani, vertaan.
10 Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.
Ihanat ovat sinun poskesi käätyinensä, kaulasi helminauhoinensa.
11 We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
Me teemme sinulle kultakäädyt ynnä hopeasta niihin nastat."
12 While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
"Kuninkaan istuessa pöydässään tuoksui minun nardukseni kaiken aikaa.
13 The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.
Rakkaani on minulle mirhakimppu, joka rintojeni välissä lepää.
14 He is like [MET] a bunch of flowers from the vineyards at En-Gedi.
Rakkaani on kooferkukka-terttu Een-Gedin viinitarhoista."
15 You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
"Katso, kaunis sinä olet, armaani; katso, kaunis olet, silmäsi ovat kyyhkyläiset."
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].
"Katso, kaunis sinä olet, rakkaani; kuinka suloinen, kuinka vihanta on vuoteemme!
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].
Huoneittemme seininä ovat setripuut, kattonamme kypressit."
