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.
Si, min kära, du äst dägelig, si, dägelig äst du; din ögon äro såsom dufvoögon, emellan dina lockar; ditt hår är såsom getahjordar, som klippte äro på det berget Gilead.
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.
Dina tänder äro såsom hjordar med afklippta ull, som tvagne komma utu vattnet, hvilke allesamman äro hafvande med tvillingar, och ingen af dem är ofruktsam.
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.
Dine läppar äro såsom ett rosenfärgadt snöre, och ditt tal ljufligit; dine kinder såsom skörden på granatäplet, emellan dina lockar.
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.
Din hals är såsom Davids torn, gjord med bröstvärn, der tusende sköldar uppå hänga, och allahanda de starkas vapen.
5 Your breasts are [as beautiful] [SIM] as two (fawns/young gazelles) that eat [grass] among lilies.
Din tu bröst äro såsom två unga råtvillingar, hvilke ibland roser i bet gå;
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].
Tilldess dagen sval varder, och skuggorna afvika; jag vill gå till myrrhamsberget, och rökelsehögen.
7 My darling, you are completely beautiful; your body is perfectly [formed]!
Du äst med allone dägelig, min kära, och ingen fläck är på dig.
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.
Kom, min brud, ifrå Libanon, kom ifrå Libanon; gack in, träd hit ifrån Amana kulle, ifrå Senir och Hermons kulle, ifrå lejonens boning, ifrå de leoparders berg.
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.
Du hafver tagit mig hjertat bort, min syster, kära brud, med ett ditt öga, och med ene dine halskedjo.
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!
Huru dägelig äro din bröst, min syster, kära brud; din bröst äro lustigare än vin, och din salvos lukt öfvergår alla örter.
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.
Dine läppar, min brud, äro såsom drypande hannogskaka; hannog och mjölk är under dine tungo, och din kläders lukt är såsom lukt af Libanon.
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].
Min syster, kära brud, du äst en tillsluten örtagård; en tillsluten källa, en förseglad brunn.
13 You are [like] [MET] an orchard of pomegranate trees full of delicious fruit, and plenty of [plants that produce] henna and nard [spices],
Din frukt är såsom en lustgård af granatäple med ädla frukter, cyper med nardus;
14 and saffron and calamus and cinnamon and many other kinds of incense, and myrrh and aloes and many [other] fine spices.
Nardus med saffran, calmus och canel, med allahanda Libanons trä; myrrham och aloes med alla bästa örter;
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.
Såsom en örtegårds brunn, såsom en brunn af lefvande vatten, det af Libanon flyter.
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].
Statt upp, nordanväder, och kom, sunnanväder, och blås igenom min örtegård, att hans örter måga drypa. Min vän komme uti sin örtegård, och äte sina ädla frukter.
