Song of Solomon 8
1 I wish that you were my brother who (nursed at/drank milk from) my mother’s breasts [when you were a baby], [because, if you were my brother], if I saw you when you were outside [the house], I could kiss you, and no one would say that my doing that was wrong.
Gid du var mig som en bror, ammet ved min mors bryst! Om jeg da fant dig der ute, skulde jeg kysse dig, og ingen skulde forakte mig for det.
2 [No one would object if] I led you to my mother’s house, to where my mother, who taught me [many things], lives. I would like to take you to my mother’s house because I would [like to make love to you] [EUP], [and that would be as delightful as] [MET] juice [squeezed] from pomegranates.
Jeg skulde lede dig, jeg skulde føre dig til min mors hus, du skulde lære mig; jeg skulde skjenke dig den krydrede vin, mosten av mitt granatepletre.
3 You would put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
Hans venstre hånd er under mitt hode, og hans høire hånd favner mig.
4 [I would say to] you women of Jerusalem, “Solemnly promise me that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.”
Jeg ber eder inderlig, I Jerusalems døtre! Hvorfor vil I vekke, og hvorfor vil I egge kjærligheten, før den selv vil?
5 Who is that [woman] who is coming up from the desert, (leaning on/clinging close to) the man who loves her? I woke you up [when you were] under the apple tree at the place where your mother conceived you, which is the same place where she gave birth to you.
Hvem er hun som kommer op fra ørkenen, støttende sig på sin elskede? - Under epletreet vekket jeg dig; der blev din mor forløst med dig, der blev hun forløst, hun som fødte dig.
6 Keep me [close to you], like [SIM] a seal on your heart, [or] like [SIM] a bracelet on your arm. Our love [for each other] is as powerful as death, it is as enduring as the grave. [It is as though] our love [for each other] bursts into flames and burns like a hot fire. (Sheol h7585)
Sett mig som et segl på ditt hjerte, som et segl på din arm; for sterk som døden er kjærligheten, hård som dødsriket er dens nidkjærhet; dens glød er som ildens glød, en Herrens lue. (Sheol h7585)
7 Nothing can extinguish our love [for each other], not [even] a flood. If a man tried to cause a woman to love him by saying he would give her everything that is in his house, she would refuse.
Mange vann kan ikke utslukke kjærligheten, og strømmer ikke overskylle den; om nogen vilde gi alt han har i sitt hus, for kjærligheten, vilde han bare bli foraktet.
8 We have a younger sister, and her breasts are still small. So this is [RHQ] what we should do for her on the day that we promise [some young man] that he can marry her:
Vi har en liten søster, hun har ennu ikke bryster. Hvad skal vi gjøre med vår søster når den tid kommer at hun får beilere?
9 If [her chest is flat like] [MET] a wall, we will [decorate it by] putting silver [jewels that are like] [MET] towers on it. Or, if she is [flat like] [MET] a door, we will decorate her with bits/pieces of cedar wood.
Er hun en mur, vil vi bygge på den tinder av sølv; er hun en dør, vil vi stenge den med en sederplanke.
10 My [chest was previously flat like] [MET] a wall, [but now] my breasts are [big] like [SIM] towers. So the one who loves me is delighted with me.
Jeg var en mur, og mine bryster som tårner; da vant jeg yndest for hans øine og fikk fred.
11 [King] Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon, and he rented it to people for them to take care of it. He required each one to pay him 1,000 pieces of silver [each year] for the grapes [that they harvested].
En vingård hadde Salomo i Ba'al-Hamon, han overgav vingården til voktere; hver skulde gi tusen sekel sølv for dens frukt.
12 [But my body is like] [MET] my own vineyard, and Solomon, I am giving it to you. [You do not need to pay me] 1,000 pieces of silver [to enjoy my body], but I will give 200 pieces of silver to those who take care of me [MET].
Over min vingård råder jeg selv; de tusen sekel tilhører dig, Salomo, og to hundre dem som vokter dens frukt.
13 You are staying in the gardens and my friends are listening to your voice; [so] allow me to hear it, [too.]
Du som bor i havene! Venner lytter til din røst; la mig høre den!
14 You who love me, come [to me] quickly; [run to me] [MET, EUP] as fast as [SIM] a gazelle or young deer runs across [MET] hills of spices.
Fly, min elskede! Vær som et rådyr eller en ung hjort på fjell med duftende urter!
