< Song of Solomon 4 >

1 Behold, thou [art] fair, my love; behold, thou [art] fair; thou [hast] doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair [is] as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
(الْمُحِبُّ): لَشَّدَ مَا أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةٌ يَا حَبِيبَتِي، لَشَّدَ مَا أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةٌ! عَيْنَاكِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ نَقَابِكِ كَحَمَامَتَيْنِ، وَشَعْرُكِ لِسَوَادِهِ كَقَطِيعِ مِعْزٍ مُنْحَدِرٍ مِنْ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ.١
2 Thy teeth [are] like a flock [of sheep that are even] shorn, which came up from the washing; all of which bear twins, and none [is] barren among them.
أَسْنَانُكِ كَقَطِيعٍ مَجْزُوزٍ خَارِجٍ مِنَ الاغْتِسَالِ، كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ ذَاتُ تَوْأَمٍ، وَمَا فِيهَا عَقِيمٌ.٢
3 Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a piece of pomegranate within thy locks.
شَفَتَاكِ كَخَيْطٍ مِنَ الْقِرْمِزِ، وَحَدِيثُ فَمِكِ عَذْبٌ، وَخَدَّاكِ كَفِلْقَتَيْ رُمَّانَةٍ خَلْفَ نَقَابِكِ.٣
4 Thy neck [is] like the tower of David built for an armory, on which hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
عُنُقُكِ مُمُاثِلٌ لِبُرْجِ دَاوُدَ الْمُشَيَّدِ لِيَكُونَ قَلْعَةً لِلسِّلاحِ، حَيْثُ عُلِّقَ فِيهِ أَلْفُ تُرْسٍ مِنْ تُرُوسِ الْمُحَارِبِينَ الصَّنَادِيدِ.٤
5 Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
نَهْدَاكِ كَتَوْأَمَيْ ظَبْيَةٍ، تَوْأَمَيْنِ يَرْعَيَانِ بَيْنَ السَّوْسَنِ.٥
6 Until the day shall break, and the shadows flee away, I will repair to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
وَمَا يَكَادُ يَتَنَفَّسُ النَّهَارُ وَتَنْهَزِمُ الظِّلالُ حَتَّى أَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى جَبَلِ الْمُرِّ وَإِلَى تَلِّ اللُّبَانِ.٦
7 Thou [art] all fair, my love; [there is] no spot in thee.
كُلُّكِ جَمِيلَةٌ يَا حَبِيبَتِي وَلا عَيْبَ فِيكِ.٧
8 Come with me from Lebanon, [my] spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
تَعَالَيْ مَعِي مِنْ لُبْنَانَ يَا عَرُوسِي. تَعَالَيْ مَعِي مِنْ لُبْنَانَ! انْظُرِي مِنْ قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ أَمَانَةَ، مِنْ رَأْسِ سَنِيرَ وَحَرْمُونَ، فِي عَرِينِ الأُسُودِ، مِنْ جِبَالِ النُّمُورِ.٨
9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thy eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
قَدْ سَلَبْتِ قَلْبِي، يَا أُخْتِي يَا عَرُوسِي! قَدْ سَلَبْتِ قَلْبِي بِنَظْرَةِ عَيْنَيْكِ وَقِلادَةِ عُنُقِكِ.٩
10 How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thy ointments than all spices!
مَا أَعْذَبَ حُبَّكِ يَا أُخْتِي يَا عَرُوسِي! لَكَمْ حُبُّكِ أَلَذُّ مِنَ الْخَمْرِ، وَأَرِيجُ أَطْيَابِكِ أَزْكَى مِنْ كُلِّ الْعُطُورِ.١٠
11 Thy lips, O [my] spouse, drop [as] the honey-comb; honey and milk [are] under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments [is] like the smell of Lebanon.
شَفَتَاكِ تَقْطُرَانِ شَهْداً أَيَّتُهَا الْعَرُوسُ، وَتَحْتَ لِسَانِكِ عَسَلٌ وَلَبَنٌ، وَرَائِحَةُ ثِيَابِكِ كَشَذَى لُبْنَانَ.١١
12 A garden inclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
أَنْتِ جَنَّةٌ مُغْلَقَةٌ يَا أُخْتِي الْعَرُوسَ. أَنْتِ عَيْنٌ مُقْفَلَةٌ وَيَنْبُوعٌ مَخْتُومٌ!١٢
13 Thy plants [are] an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphor, with spikenard,
أَغْرَاسُكِ فِرْدَوْسُ رُمَّانٍ مَعَ خِيرَةِ الأَثْمَارِ وَالحِنَّاءِ وَالنَّارْدِينِ.١٣
14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
نَارِدِينٍ وَزَعْفَرَانَ، قَصَبِ الذَّرِيرَةِ وَقِرْفَةٍ مَعَ كُلِّ أَصْنَافِ اللُّبَانِ وَالْمُرِّ وَالْعُودِ مَعَ أَفْخَرِ الْعُطُورِ.١٤
15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
أَنْتِ يَنْبُوعُ جَنَّاتٍ وَبِئْرُ مِيَاهٍ حَيَّةٍ وَجَدَاوِلُ دَافِقَةٌ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ.١٥
16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, [that] its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
(الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): اسْتَيْقِظِي يَا رِيحَ الشِّمَالِ، وَهُبِّي يَا رِيحَ الْجَنُوبِ، هُبِّي عَلَى جَنَّتِي فَيَنْتَشِرَ عَبِيرُهَا. لِيُقْبِلْ حَبِيبِي إِلَى جَنَّتِهِ وَيَتَذَوَّقْ أَطْيَبَ أَثْمَارِهَا.١٦
