Song of Solomon 5
1 My bride, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, I have come [to cuddle up to you] [MET, EUP]; [it will be as though] I will be gathering myrrh with my other spices, and eating my honey and my honeycomb, and drinking my wine and my milk. You two who love each other, enjoy your lovemaking; enjoy all that you want to.
◆新郎：我的妹妹，我的新娘! 我進入了我的花園，採了我的沒藥和香草，吃了我的蜂巢和蜂蜜，喝了我的酒和奶。我的朋友! 請你們吃，請你們喝；我親愛的，請你們痛飲![第四幕：愛情的試探和鞏固]◆新娘：
2 I was partially asleep, but my mind was [still] awake. Then I heard the one who loves me knocking [at the door]. [He said], “My darling, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, my dear friend, my perfect one, my dove [MET], open the door for me! My hair is wet from the dew, from the mist [that has fallen during] the night.”
我身雖睡，我心卻醒；我的愛人在敲門。◆新郎： 我的妹妹，我的愛卿， 我的鴿子，我的完人，請給我開門! 我的頭上滿了露水，我的髮辮滿了露珠。◆新娘：
3 [But] I had already taken off my robe; I did not [RHQ] want to put it on again [to open the door]. I had [already] washed my feet; I did not [RHQ] want them to become dirty again.
我已脫下長衣，怎能再穿﹖我己洗了腳，怎能再杇﹖
4 The one who loves me put his hand through the opening [in the wall], and I was thrilled [that he was there].
我的愛人從門孔中伸進手來，我的五內大為感動。
5 I got up to open [the door] for the one who loves me, [but first I put a lot of] myrrh on my hands. The myrrh was dripping from my fingers while I unlatched the bolt.
我起來給我的愛人開門，一摸門閂，我的手就滴下沒藥，滴下純正的沒藥。
6 I opened [the door] for the man who loves me, but he had left. He had turned away and was gone! I was very disappointed [IDM]; I searched for him, but I could not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.
我給我的愛人開了門，我的愛人卻轉身走了；一見他走了，我妳不傷心。我尋覓，卻沒有找著；我呼喚他，他卻不答應。
7 The city watchmen saw me while they were walking around the city. They beat me and wounded me [because they thought I must be a prostitute]; those men who were guarding the city walls took my robe.
巡行城市的守衛遇見了我，打傷了我；看守城牆的人，奪去了我身上的外衣
8 You young women of Jerusalem, I plead with you, if you see the man who loves me, tell him [DOU] that I am very disappointed that we did not make love.
耶路撒冷女郎! 妳們若遇見了我的愛人，妳們要告訴他什麼﹖我懇求妳們告訴他：「我因愛成疾。」◆耶京女郎：
9 You who are the (fairest/most beautiful) among women, why [do you think that] the one who loves you is better than other men? In what way is the man who loves you better than other men with the result that you ask us to tell him that?
妳這女中極美麗的啊! 我的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人﹖妳的愛人有什麼勝過其他的愛人，致使妳這懇求我們﹖◆新娘：
10 The man who loves me is handsome and healthy, (outstanding among/better than) (10,000/an uncountable number of) [other men].
我的愛人，皎潔紅潤，超越萬人。
11 His head is [beautiful, like] [MET] purest gold; his hair is wavy and as black as [SIM] a raven/crow.
他的頭顱金碧輝煌，他的髮辮有如棕枝，漆黑有如烏鴉。
12 His eyes [are as gentle] as [SIM] doves along the streams; [the white parts of] his eyes are as white as [MET] milk, [with what resembles] jewels inlaid in them.
他的眼睛，有如站在溪旁的鵓鴿的眼；他的牙齒在奶中洗過，按在牙床上。
13 His cheeks are like [SIM] a garden full of spice trees that produce [sweet-smelling] perfume. His lips are [like] [SIM] lilies that have myrrh/perfume dripping from them.
他的兩頰有如香花畦，又如芳草台；他的嘴脣有如百合花，滴流純正的沒藥。
14 His arms are like [MET] gold bars/rods that are decorated with precious stones/jewels. His body is like [SIM] [a column/pillar of] ivory that is decorated with (sapphires/valuable [blue] stones).
他的手臂有如金管，鑲有塔爾史士寶石；他的軀幹是一塊象牙，鑲有碧玉
15 His legs are [like] [MET] pillars of marble that are set in bases made of pure gold. He is [majestic, like the mountains of] [SIM] Lebanon, as delightful/beautiful as [SIM] cedar [trees].
他的兩腿像一對大理石，置於純金座上；他的容貌彷彿黎巴嫩，壯麗如同香柏樹。
16 His kisses [MTY] are extremely sweet; he is very handsome. You young women of Jerusalem, all that tells you why the one who loves me and who is my friend [is better than other men].
他滿面香甜，全然可愛。耶路撒冷女郎! 這就是我的愛人，這就是我的良友。
