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.
| ای کاش تو برادر من بودی که از سینۀ مادرم شیر خورده است. آنگاه هر جا تو را می‌دیدم می‌توانستم تو را ببوسم، بدون آنکه رسوا شوم. |
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.
| دستت را می‌گرفتم و تو را به خانهٔ مادرم که مرا بزرگ کرده، می‌بردم. در آنجا شراب خوش طعم و عصارهٔ انار خود را به تو می‌دادم تا بنوشی. |
3 You would put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
| دست چپ تو زیر سر من می‌بود و دست راستت مرا در آغوش می‌کشید. |
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.”
| ای دختران اورشلیم، شما را قسم می‌دهم که مزاحم عشق ما نشوید. |
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.
| این کیست که بر محبوب خود تکیه کرده و از صحرا می‌آید؟ محبوب در زیر آن درخت سیب، جایی که مادرت با درد زایمان تو را به دنیا آورد، من عشق را در دلت بیدار کردم. |
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)
| عشق مرا در دل خود مهر کن و مرا چون حلقهٔ طلا بر بازویت ببند تا همیشه با تو باشم. عشق مانند مرگ قدرتمند است و شعله‌اش همچون شعله‌های پرقدرت آتش با بی‌رحمی می‌سوزاند و نابود می‌کند. (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.
| آبهای بسیار نمی‌توانند شعلهٔ عشق را خاموش کنند و سیلابها قادر نیستند آن را فرو نشانند. هر که بکوشد با ثروتش عشق را بچنگ آورد، جز خفت و خواری چیزی عایدش نخواهد شد. |
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:
| خواهر کوچکی داریم که سینه‌هایش هنوز بزرگ نشده‌اند. اگر کسی به خواستگاری او بیاید چه خواهیم کرد؟ |
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.
| اگر او دیوار می‌بود بر او برجهای نقره می‌ساختیم و اگر در می‌بود با روکشی از چوب سرو او را می‌پوشاندیم. |
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.
| من دیوارم و سینه‌هایم برجهای آن. من دل از محبوب خود ربوده‌ام. |
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].
| سلیمان در بعل هامون تاکستانی داشت و آن را به کشاورزان اجاره داد که هر یک، هزار سکه به او بدهند. |
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].
| اما ای سلیمان، من تاکستان خود را به تو می‌دهم، هزار سکهٔ آن مال توست و دویست سکه مال کسانی که از آن نگهداری می‌کنند. |
13 You are staying in the gardens and my friends are listening to your voice; [so] allow me to hear it, [too.]
| ای محبوبهٔ من، بگذار صدایت را از باغ بشنوم، دوستانم منتظرند تا صدایت را بشنوند. |
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.
| نزد من بیا ای محبوب من، همچون غزال و بچه آهو بر کوههای عطرآگین، به سوی من بیا. |
