< 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.
Ah! quem me dera que me foras como irmão, e mamáras os peitos de minha mãe! que te achara na rua, e te beijara, e nem me desprezariam!
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.
Te levaria e introduziria na casa de minha mãe, e tu me ensinarias; e te daria a beber vinho aromático e do mosto das minhas romãs.
3 You would put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
A sua mão esquerda esteja debaixo da minha cabeça, e a sua direita me abrace.
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.”
Conjuro-vos, ó filhas de Jerusalém, que não acordeis nem desperteis o meu amor, até que queira.
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.
Quem é esta que sobe do deserto, e vem encostada tão aprazivelmente ao seu amado? Debaixo de uma macieira te despertei, ali te produziu tua mãe com dores; ali te produziu com dores aquela que te pariu.
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 )
Põe-me como selo sobre o teu coração, como selo sobre o teu braço, porque o amor é forte como a morte, e duro como a sepultura o ciúme: as suas brazas são brazas de fogo, labaredas do Senhor. (Sheol )
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.
As muitas águas não poderiam apagar este amor, nem os rios afoga-lo: ainda que desse alguém toda a fazenda de sua casa por este amor, certamente a desprezariam.
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:
Temos uma irmã pequena, que ainda não tem peitos: que faremos a esta nossa irmã, no dia em que dela se falar?
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.
Se ela for um muro, edificaremos sobre ela um palácio de prata; e, se ela for uma porta, a cercaremos com tábuas de cedro.
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.
Eu sou um muro, e os meus peitos são como umas torres: então eu era aos seus olhos como aquela que acha paz.
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].
Teve Salomão uma vinha em Baal-hamon; entregou esta vinha a uns guardas; e cada um lhe trazia pelo seu fruto mil peças de prata.
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].
A minha vinha que tenho está diante de mim: as mil peças de prata são para ti, ó Salomão, e duzentas para os guardas do seu fruto.
13 You are staying in the gardens and my friends are listening to your voice; [so] allow me to hear it, [too.]
Ó tu, a que habitas nos jardins, para a tua voz os companheiros atentam; faze-ma pois também ouvir.
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.
Vem depressa, amado meu, e faze-te semelhante ao corço ou ao filho dos veados sobre os montes dos aromas.
