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，我新婦， 我進了我的園中， 採了我的沒藥和香料， 吃了我的蜜房和蜂蜜， 喝了我的酒和奶。 〔耶路撒冷的眾女子〕 我的朋友們，請吃！ 我所親愛的，請喝，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.”
我身睡臥，我心卻醒。 這是我良人的聲音； 他敲門說： 〔新郎〕 我的妹子，我的佳偶， 我的鴿子，我的完全人， 求你給我開門； 因我的頭滿了露水， 我的頭髮被夜露滴濕。
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.
我回答說： 我脫了衣裳，怎能再穿上呢？ 我洗了腳，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].
我的良人從門孔裏伸進手來， 我便因他動了心。
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.
我起來，要給我良人開門。 我的兩手滴下沒藥； 我的指頭有沒藥汁滴在門閂上。
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.
我給我的良人開了門； 我的良人卻已轉身走了。 他說話的時候，我神不守舍； 我尋找他，竟尋不見； 我呼叫他，他卻不回答。
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.
城中巡邏看守的人遇見我， 打了我，傷了我； 看守城牆的人奪去我的披肩。
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.
耶路撒冷的眾女子啊，我囑咐你們： 若遇見我的良人， 要告訴他，我因思愛成病。
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?
你這女子中極美麗的， 你的良人比別人的良人有何強處？ 你的良人比別人的良人有何強處， 你就這樣囑咐我們？
10 The man who loves me is handsome and healthy, (outstanding among/better than) (10,000/an uncountable number of) [other men].
我的良人白而且紅， 超乎萬人之上。
11 His head is [beautiful, like] [MET] purest gold; his hair is wavy and as black as [SIM] a raven/crow.
他的頭像至精的金子； 他的頭髮厚密纍垂，黑如烏鴉。
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.
他的眼如溪水旁的鴿子眼， 用奶洗淨，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.
他的兩腮如香花畦， 如香草臺； 他的嘴唇像百合花， 且滴下沒藥汁。
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).
他的兩手好像金管， 鑲嵌水蒼玉； 他的身體如同雕刻的象牙， 周圍鑲嵌藍寶石。
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； 他的形狀如黎巴嫩， 且佳美如香柏樹。
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].
他的口極其甘甜； 他全然可愛。 耶路撒冷的眾女子啊， 這是我的良人； 這是我的朋友。
