< 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.
我妹子,我新妇, 我进了我的园中, 采了我的没药和香料, 吃了我的蜜房和蜂蜜, 喝了我的酒和奶。 〔耶路撒冷的众女子〕 我的朋友们,请吃! 我所亲爱的,请喝,且多多地喝!
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.”
我身睡卧,我心却醒。 这是我良人的声音; 他敲门说: 〔新郎〕 我的妹子,我的佳偶, 我的鸽子,我的完全人, 求你给我开门; 因我的头满了露水, 我的头发被夜露滴湿。
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.
我回答说: 我脱了衣裳,怎能再穿上呢? 我洗了脚,怎能再玷污呢?
4 The one who loves me put his hand through the opening [in the wall], and I was thrilled [that he was there].
我的良人从门孔里伸进手来, 我便因他动了心。
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.
我起来,要给我良人开门。 我的两手滴下没药; 我的指头有没药汁滴在门闩上。
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.
我给我的良人开了门; 我的良人却已转身走了。 他说话的时候,我神不守舍; 我寻找他,竟寻不见; 我呼叫他,他却不回答。
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.
城中巡逻看守的人遇见我, 打了我,伤了我; 看守城墙的人夺去我的披肩。
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.
耶路撒冷的众女子啊,我嘱咐你们: 若遇见我的良人, 要告诉他,我因思爱成病。
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?
你这女子中极美丽的, 你的良人比别人的良人有何强处? 你的良人比别人的良人有何强处, 你就这样嘱咐我们?
10 The man who loves me is handsome and healthy, (outstanding among/better than) (10,000/an uncountable number of) [other men].
我的良人白而且红, 超乎万人之上。
11 His head is [beautiful, like] [MET] purest gold; his hair is wavy and as black as [SIM] a raven/crow.
他的头像至精的金子; 他的头发厚密累垂,黑如乌鸦。
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.
他的眼如溪水旁的鸽子眼, 用奶洗净,安得合式。
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.
他的两腮如香花畦, 如香草台; 他的嘴唇像百合花, 且滴下没药汁。
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).
他的两手好像金管, 镶嵌水苍玉; 他的身体如同雕刻的象牙, 周围镶嵌蓝宝石。
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].
他的腿好像白玉石柱, 安在精金座上; 他的形状如黎巴嫩, 且佳美如香柏树。
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].
他的口极其甘甜; 他全然可爱。 耶路撒冷的众女子啊, 这是我的良人; 这是我的朋友。
