Song of Solomon 4
1 My darling, you are beautiful, you are very beautiful! Underneath your veil, your eyes are [as gentle as] [MET] doves. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats moving down the slopes of Gilead Mountain.
Voici tu es belle, ma bien-aimée, voici, tu es belle; tes yeux sont ceux de la Colombe derrière ton voile; la chevelure est comme un troupeau des chèvres qui reposent au penchant du mont de Galaad;
2 Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has [just] been (shorn/cut off) and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
tes dents sont comme un troupeau de brebis après la tonte, qui remontent du bain, toutes mères de jumeaux, et dont aucune n'est sans agneaux;
3 Your lips are like [SIM] a scarlet ribbon, and your mouth is lovely. Beneath your veil, your [round, rosy/red] cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
tes lèvres sont comme un fil de carmin, ton parler est gracieux; tes joues sont comme des moitiés de grenade, derrière ton voile;
4 Your [long] neck is [beautiful] like [SIM] the tower of [King] David that was built using layers/rows of stone. [The ornaments on your necklaces are like] 1,000 [HYP] shields that are hanging [on the walls of a tower]; each one belongs to a warrior.
ton col est comme la tour de David, bâtie pour recevoir les armures; mille boucliers y sont suspendus, tous pavois des héros;
5 Your breasts are [as beautiful] [SIM] as two (fawns/young gazelles) that eat [grass] among lilies.
tes deux mamelles sont comme les deux faons jumeaux d'une biche, broutant au milieu des lys.
6 Until dawn [tomorrow morning] and the nighttime shadows/darkness disappear, I will [lie close to your breasts] that are [like] [MET] hills that are covered with incense [DOU].
En attendant le frais du jour, et la fuite des ombres, j'irai à la montagne de la myrrhe, et au coteau de l'encens.
7 My darling, you are completely beautiful; your body is perfectly [formed]!
Tu es d'une beauté parfaite, ma bien-aimée, et en toi il n'y a pas un défaut.
8 My bride, [it is as though you are in] [MET] Lebanon [far away, where I cannot reach you]; come back to me. [It is as though you are inaccessible] [MET] on the top of Hermon Mountain or the nearby peaks. Come from where the lions have their dens and where the leopards live on the mountains.
Avec moi quitte le Liban, ma fiancée! avec moi quitte le Liban! regarde loin de la cime d'Amana, de la cime de Sénir et d'Hermon, des repaires des lions, des montagnes des léopards!
9 My bride [DOU], you who are dearer to me than my sister, you have captured my affection [IDM] by only once quickly looking at me, and by one [strand of] jewels in your necklace.
Tu m'ôtes le cœur, ma sœur, ma fiancée, tu m'ôtes le cœur par un seul regard de tes yeux, par un seul des colliers de ton col.
10 My bride, your love for me is delightful! It more delightful than wine! And the fragrance of your perfume is more pleasing than any spice!
Quel charme dans ton amour, ma sœur, ma fiancée! Comme ton amour est plus exquis que le vin, et le parfum de tes huiles de senteur, plus exquis que tous les baumes!
11 Being kissed by you is [as enjoyable as eating] [MTY] honey; your kisses are as sweet as milk [mixed with] honey. The aroma of your clothes is like [SIM] the aroma of [cedar trees in] Lebanon.
Tes lèvres distillent du miel, ô ma fiancée; ta langue repose sur le miel et le lait, et le parfum de tes habits égale le parfum du Liban.
12 My bride, [you who are dearer to me than] [MET] my sister, you are [like] [MET] a garden that is locked [in order that other men cannot enter it]; [you are like] [MET] a spring or a fountain that is covered [in order that others may not drink from it].
Tu es un jardin fermé, ma sœur, ma fiancée, une source fermée, une fontaine scellée.
13 You are [like] [MET] an orchard of pomegranate trees full of delicious fruit, and plenty of [plants that produce] henna and nard [spices],
Tes plants sont un bocage de grenadiers, avec des fruits exquis, des troènes unis au nard;
14 and saffron and calamus and cinnamon and many other kinds of incense, and myrrh and aloes and many [other] fine spices.
de nard et de safran, de roseau odorant et de cannelle, avec tous les arbres qui donnent l'encens; de myrrhe et d'aloès, avec les premiers des aromates;
15 [You are like] [MET] a fountain in a garden, [like] [MET] a spring of clear water that flows [down] from [the mountains of] Lebanon.
c'est une source pour des jardins, une fontaine d'eaux vives, et des ruisseaux qui viennent du Liban. – –
16 [I want] the north wind and the south wind to come, and blow on my garden, [in order that] the fragrance [of the spices will] spread through the air. [Similarly], I want the one who loves me to come and enjoy [cuddling up to me] [like] [MET, EUP] someone comes into a garden and enjoys eating the fruit [that grows there].
Lève-toi, Aquilon, et accours, Autan, souffle dans mon jardin, et que les parfums s'en exhalent. Que mon bien-aimé pénètre dans son jardin, et en goûte les fruits délicieux. –
