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.
Wo ist denn dein Freund hingegangen, o du Schönste unter den Weibern? Wo hat sich dein Freund hingewandt? So wollen wir mit dir ihn suchen.
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.
Mein Freund ist hinabgegangen in seinen Garten, zu den Würzgärtlein, daß er sich weide unter den Gärten und Rosen breche.
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].
Mein Freund ist mein, und ich bin sein, der unter den Rosen sich weidet.
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.
Du bist schön, meine Freundin, wie Thirza, lieblich wie Jerusalem, schrecklich wie Heerspitzen.
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].
Wende deine Augen von mir, denn sie machen mich brünstig. Deine Haare sind wie eine Herde Ziegen, die auf dem Berge Gilead geschoren sind.
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.
Deine Zähne sind wie eine Herde Schafe, die aus der Schwemme kommen, die allzumal Zwillinge tragen, und ist keins unfruchtbar unter ihnen.
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
Deine Wangen sind wie ein Ritz am Granatäpfel zwischen deinen Zöpfen.
8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
Sechzig ist der Königinnen und achtzig der Kebsweiber, und der Jungfrauen ist keine Zahl.
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].
Aber eine ist meine Taube, meine Fromme, eine ist ihrer Mutter die Liebste, und die Auserwählte ihrer Mutter. Da sie die Töchter sahen, preiseten sie dieselbige selig; die Königinnen und die Kebsweiber lobten sie.
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?
Wer ist, die hervorbricht wie die Morgenröte, schön wie der Mond, auserwählt wie die Sonne, schrecklich wie die Heerspitzen?
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.
Ich bin hinab in den Nußgarten gegangen, zu schauen die Sträuchlein am Bach, zu schauen, ob der Weinstock blühete, ob die Granatäpfel grüneten.
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
Meine Seele wußte es nicht, daß er mich zum Wagen Ammi-Nadibs gesetzt hatte.
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?
Kehre wieder, kehre wieder, o Sulamith! Kehre wieder, kehre wieder, daß wir dich schauen! Was sehet ihr an Sulamith? Den Reigen zu Mahanaim.
