< 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.
Où est parti ton bien-aimé, la plus belle des femmes? Où s'est tourné votre bien-aimé, afin que nous puissions le chercher avec vous?
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.
Mon bien-aimé est descendu dans son jardin, aux lits d'épices, pour faire paître son troupeau dans les jardins, et pour cueillir des lys.
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].
Je suis à mon bien-aimé, et mon bien-aimé est à moi. Il se promène parmi les lys.
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.
Tu es belle, mon amour, comme Tirzah, belle comme Jérusalem, Génial comme armée avec des bannières.
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].
Détournez vos yeux de moi, car ils m'ont vaincu. Vos cheveux sont comme un troupeau de chèvres, qui s'étendent le long du côté de Gilead.
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.
Tes dents sont comme un troupeau de brebis, qui sont remontés du lavage, dont chacun a des jumeaux; pas un seul n'est endeuillé parmi eux.
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
Tes temples sont comme un morceau de grenade derrière ton voile.
8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
Il y a soixante reines, quatre-vingts concubines, et des vierges sans nombre.
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].
Ma colombe, ma parfaite, est unique. Elle est la fille unique de sa mère. Elle est la préférée de ceux qui l'ont portée. Les filles l'ont vue et l'ont appelée « bénie ». Les reines et les concubines la voyaient, et elles la louaient.
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?
Qui est celle qui regarde comme le matin, aussi belle que la lune, clair comme le soleil, et génial en tant qu'armée avec des bannières?
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.
Je suis descendu dans le bosquet d'arbres à noix, pour voir les plantes vertes de la vallée, pour voir si la vigne bourgeonne, et les grenades étaient en fleur.
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
Sans s'en rendre compte, mon désir m'a placé avec les chars de mon peuple royal.
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?
Reviens, reviens, Shulammite! Reviens, reviens, que nous puissions te contempler. Amoureux Pourquoi désirez-vous contempler la Shulammite, comme lors de la danse de Mahanaïm?
