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 allé ton frère bien-aimé, ô toi belle entre toutes les femmes? Où ton frère bien-aimé s'est-il retiré? Et nous le chercherons avec toi.
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 frère bien-aimé est descendu dans son jardin parmi les roses d'aromates, pour paître son troupeau dans ses jardins, et y cueillir des lis.
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 frère bien-aimé, et mon frère bien-aimé est à moi; il fait paître son troupeau parmi les lis.
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, ô ma bien-aimée, comme la tendresse, gracieuse comme Jérusalem, terrible comme une armée en bataille.
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].
Détourne de moi tes yeux, car ils m'ont transporté; ta chevelure est comme les troupeaux de chèvres que l'on voit en Galaad.
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 la toison des brebis sortant du lavoir après la tonte, qui toutes ont deux petits, et dont nulle n'est stérile.
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
Tes lèvres sont comme un ruban d'écarlate, et ton langage est plein de grâce. Tes joues sont comme la peau de la grenade, sans parler de tes beautés cachées.
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 et quatre-vingt concubines, et des jeunes filles 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].
Mais ma colombe, ma parfaite est unique; elle est l'unique de sa mère; elle est l'élue de celle qui l'a enfantée. Les jeunes filles l'ont vue, et la déclarent heureuse; les reines et les concubines la loueront.
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?
Quelle est celle qui regarde dehors comme le matin; belle comme la lune, élue comme le soleil, terrible comme une armée en bataille?
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 au jardin des noyers, pour voir les fruits du vallon; si la vigne est en fleur, et si les grenades sont fleuries.
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
Là je te donnerai mes mamelles. Mon âme n'a rien su, et j'ai été comme emportée par les chers d'Aminadab.
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, ma Sulamite; reviens, reviens, et nous ne verrons que toi. Que verrez-vous en la Sulamite, qui vient comme les rangs d'une armée?
