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.
»Min vän har gått ned till sin lustgård, till sina välluktrika blomstersängar, för att låta sin hjord beta i lustgårdarna och för att plocka liljor.
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.
Jag är min väns, och min vän är min, där han för sin hjord i bet ibland liljor.
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].
Du är skön såsom Tirsa, min älskade, ljuvlig såsom Jerusalem, överväldigande såsom en härskara.
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.
Vänd bort ifrån mig dina ögon, ty de hava underkuvat mig. Ditt hår är likt en hjord av getter som strömma nedför Gilead.
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].
Dina tänder likna en hjord av tackor, nyss uppkomna ur badet, allasammans med tvillingar, ofruktsam är ingen ibland dem.
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.
Lik ett brustet granatäpple är din kind, där den skymtar genom din slöja.
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
Sextio äro drottningarna, och åttio bihustrurna, och tärnorna en otalig skara.
8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
Men en enda är hon, min duva, min fromma, hon, sin moders endaste, hon, sin fostrarinnas utkorade. När jungfrur se henne, prisa de henne säll, drottningar och bihustrur höja hennes lov.
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].
Vem är hon som där blickar fram lik en morgonrodnad, skön såsom månen, strålande såsom solen, överväldigande såsom en härskara?
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?
Till valnötslunden gick jag ned, för att glädja mig åt grönskan i dalen, för att se om vinträden hade slagit ut, om granatträden hade fått blommor.
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.
Oförtänkt satte mig då min kärlek upp på mitt furstefolks vagnar.
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
»Vänd om, vänd om, du brud från Sulem, vänd om, vänd om, så att vi få se på dig.» »Vad finnen I att se hos bruden från Sulem, där hon rör sig såsom i vapendans?»
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?
