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.
»Wohin ist denn dein Geliebter gegangen, du Schönste unter den Weibern? Wohin hat dein Geliebter sich begeben, damit wir ihn mit dir 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 Geliebter ist in seinen Garten hinabgegangen zu den Balsambeeten, um sich in den Anlagen zu ergehen und Lilien zu pflücken.
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].
Ich gehöre meinem Geliebten, und mein Geliebter gehört mir: er weidet auf der Lilienau.
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.
Schön bist du, meine Freundin, wie Thirza, lieblich wie Jerusalem, doch furchtbar wie Kriegerscharen!
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 weg von mir, denn sie bringen mich von Sinnen! Dein Haar gleicht einer Ziegenherde, die vom Gileadberge herabwallt.
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 Mutterschafe, die der Schwemme entsteigen, allesamt zwillingsträchtig und keins von ihnen ist kinderlos.
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
Wie der Spalt eines Granatapfels schimmern die Schläfen dir hinter dem Schleier hervor.
8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
Ihrer sechzig sind Königinnen (bei Salomo) und achtzig Nebenfrauen und zahllos die Jungfrauen.
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].
Eine einzige ist meine Taube, meine Reine, die einziggeliebte Tochter ihrer Mutter, das Herzblatt der Guten, die ihr das Leben gegeben. Wenn die Mädchen sie sehen, so preisen diese sie glücklich, Königinnen und Nebenfrauen, und künden ihren Ruhm.
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 diese, die da hervorglänzt wie das Morgenrot, schön wie der Vollmond, strahlend wie die Sonne, furchtbar wie Kriegerscharen?
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.
In den Nußgarten war ich hinabgegangen, um mich zu erfreun am jungen Grün des Tales, um nachzusehn, wie der Weinstock gesproßt, ob die Granaten Blüten getrieben hätten.
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
Unvermutet hat mein Verlangen mich geführt zu der Tochter eines Edlen.
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?
Wende dich, wende dich, Sulammith! Wende dich, wende dich, daß wir dich beschauen! »Was wollt ihr schauen an Sulammith beim kriegerischen Tanz?«
