< Song of Solomon 6 >
1 You who are the most beautiful of all the women, where has the one who loves you gone? [If you tell us] which [RHQ] direction he went, we will go with you to search for him.
◆耶京女郎: 妳這女中極美麗的啊! 妳的愛人往那裏去了﹖妳的愛人轉向何處去了﹖妳讓我們同妳一起去尋找﹖◆新娘:
2 The one who loves me has now come [to me, who am like] [MET, EUP] his garden, He has come to [enjoy my (charms/physical attractions) which are like] [MET, EUP] spices, to enjoy cuddling up to me [EUP, MET], and [kissing my lips, which are like] [MET] lilies.
我的愛人到自己的花園,到香畦去了,好在花園中牧羊,採百合花。
3 I belong to the one who loves me, and the one who loves me belongs to me; he [enjoys kissing] my lips like [MET] [a shepherd enjoys] taking care of [his sheep].
我屬於我的愛人,我的愛人屬於我,他在百合花間,牧放他的羊群。◆新郎:
4 My darling, you are beautiful, like [SIM] Tirzah [the capital city of Israel] and Jerusalem [the capital city of Judah are beautiful]; you are as exciting [MET] as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners.
我的愛卿! 妳美麗有如提爾匝,可愛有如耶路撒冷,莊嚴有如整齊的軍旅。
5 Quit looking at me like that, because your eyes excite me very much. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats [moving down the slopes] of Gilead [Mountain].
轉過妳的眼去,不要看我,因為妳的眼使我迷亂;妳的頭髮猶如由基肋阿得山下來的一群山羊。
6 Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has just been shorn and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
妳的牙齒像一群浴後上來的母綿羊,都懷有雙胎,沒有不生育的。
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
妳隱在面紗後的兩頰,有如分裂兩半的石榴。
8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
皇后六十,嬪妃八十,少女無數:
9 [none of them would be like] my dove, who is perfect, you who are your mother’s only daughter, whom your mother considers to be very precious. [Other] young women who see you say that you are fortunate, and the queens and concubines recognize that you [are very beautiful].
但是,我的鴿子,我的完人,只有一個,她是生養她者的愛女;少女見了她,都稱她有福;皇后與嬪妃,也都讚揚她。◆耶京女郎:
10 Who is [RHQ] this woman who is [as delightful] as [SIM] the dawn, as fair/delightful [to look at] as [the light of] the moon, as exciting as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners?
「那上升如晨曦,美麗如月亮,光耀如太陽,莊嚴如整齊軍旅的,是誰﹖」[第五幕:愛情的享受]◆新娘:
11 I went down to some walnut trees to look at the new plants that were growing in the valley. I wanted to see if the grapevines had budded or if the pomegranate trees were blooming.
我下到核桃園中,要欣賞谷中的新綠,看看葡萄樹是否發了芽,石榴樹是否開了花﹖
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
我的熱誠摧促我登上了我民主上的御駕。
13 You who are the perfect one, come back [to us], in order that we may see you! Why do you want to look at this woman who is perfect, like [SIM] you like to watch two rows/lines of people dancing?
耶京女郎:1. 歸來,歸來! 叔拉米特! 歸來,歸來! 讓我看看妳! 妳們要看叔拉米特什麼﹖看她在兩隊中舞蹈。◆甲:
