< Song of Solomon 6 >

1 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.
(بَنَاتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ): أَيْنَ ذَهَبَ حَبِيبُكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْجَمِيلَةُ بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ؟ إِلَى أَيْنَ تَحَوَّلَ حَبِيبُكِ فَنَبْحَثَ عَنْهُ مَعَكِ؟١
2 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
(الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): قَدِ انْطَلَقَ حَبِيبِي إِلَى جَنَّتِهِ، إِلَى خَمَائِلِ الأَطْيَابِ لِيَرْعَى فِي الرَّوْضَاتِ وَيَقْطِفَ السَّوْسَنَ.٢
3 I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine: he feedeth among the lilies.
أَنَا لِحَبِيبِي، وَحَبِيبِي لِي، وَهُوَ يَرْعَى بَيْنَ السَّوْسَنِ.٣
4 Thou [art] beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as [an army] with banners.
(المُحِبُّ): أَنْتِ جَمِيلَةٌ يَا حَبِيبَتِي كَتِرْصَةَ، حَسْنَاءُ كَأُورُشَلِيمَ، وَجَلِيلَةٌ كَجَيْشٍ يَرْفَعُ أَعْلامَهُ.٤
5 Turn away thy eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair [is] as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
أَشِيحِي بِعَيْنَيْكِ عَنِّي فَقَدْ قَهَرَتَانِي. شَعْرُكِ كَقَطِيعِ مَاعِزٍ مُنْحَدِرٍ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ.٥
6 Thy teeth [are] as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, of which every one beareth twins, and [there is] not one barren among them.
أَسْنَانُكِ فِي بَيَاضِهَا كَقَطِيعِ غَنَمٍ خَارِجٍ مِنَ الاغْتِسَالِ؛ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ تَوْأَمٍ وَمَا فِيهَا عَقِيمٌ.٦
7 As a piece of pomegranate [are] thy temples within thy locks.
خَدَّاكِ تَحْتَ نَقَابِكِ كَفِلْقَتَيْ رُمَّانَةٍ.٧
8 There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.
هُنَاكَ سِتُّونَ مَلِكَةً وَثَمَانُونَ سُرِّيَّةً وَعَذَارَى لَا يُحْصَى لَهُنَّ عَدَدٌ.٨
9 My dove, my undefiled is [but] one; she [is] the [only] one of her mother, she [is] the choice [one] of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; [yes], the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
لَكِنَّكِ يَا حَمَامَتِي يَا كَامِلَتِي فَرِيدَةٌ، الابْنَةُ الْوَحِيدَةُ لأُمِّهَا، الأَعَزُّ عَلَى مَنْ أَنْجَبَتْهَا. رَأَتْهَا الْعَذَارَى فَطَوَّبْنَهَا، وَشَاهَدَتْهَا الْمَلِكَاتُ وَالسَّرَارِي فَمَدَحْنَهَا.٩
10 Who [is] she [that] looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, [and] terrible as [an army] with banners?
مَنْ هَذِهِ الطَّالِعَةُ كَالْفَجْرِ، الْجَمِيلَةُ كَالْبَدْرِ، الْمُشْرِقَةُ كَالشَّمْسِ، الْجَلِيلَةُ كَجَيْشٍ يَرْفَعُ أَعْلامَهُ؟١٠
11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, [and] to see whether the vine flourished, [and] the pomegranates budded.
(الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): نَزَلْتُ إِلَى حَدِيقَةِ الْجَوْزِ لأَرَى ثَمَرَ الْوَادِي الْجَدِيدَ، وَأَنْظُرَ هَلْ أَزْهَرَ الْكَرْمُ وَنَوَّرَ الرُّمَّانُ؟١١
12 Or ere I was aware, my soul made me [like] the chariots of Amminadib.
وَقَبْلَ أَنْ أُدْرِكَ مَا يَجْرِي وَجَدْتُ نَفْسِي بَيْنَ أُمَرَاءِ قَوْمِي فَهَرَبْتُ.١٢
13 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
(بَنَاتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ): ارْجِعِي، ارْجِعِي يَا شُولَمِّيثُ، اِرْجِعِي، اِرْجِعِي لِنَتَأَمَّلَ فِيكِ. (الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): مَاذَا تَرَوْنَ فِي شُولَمِّيثَ؟ (المُحِبُّ): مِثْلَ رَقْصِ صَفَّيْنِ!١٣
