Song of Solomon 5

1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.

我妹子，我新婦， 我進了我的園中， 採了我的沒藥和香料， 吃了我的蜜房和蜂蜜， 喝了我的酒和奶。 〔耶路撒冷的眾女子〕 我的朋友們，請吃！ 我所親愛的，請喝，且多多地喝！

2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”

我身睡臥，我心卻醒。 這是我良人的聲音； 他敲門說： 〔新郎〕 我的妹子，我的佳偶， 我的鴿子，我的完全人， 求你給我開門； 因我的頭滿了露水， 我的頭髮被夜露滴濕。

3 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?

我回答說： 我脫了衣裳，怎能再穿上呢？ 我洗了腳，怎能再玷污呢？

4 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.

我的良人從門孔裏伸進手來， 我便因他動了心。

5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.

我起來，要給我良人開門。 我的兩手滴下沒藥； 我的指頭有沒藥汁滴在門閂上。

6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.

我給我的良人開了門； 我的良人卻已轉身走了。 他說話的時候，我神不守舍； 我尋找他，竟尋不見； 我呼叫他，他卻不回答。

7 The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.

城中巡邏看守的人遇見我， 打了我，傷了我； 看守城牆的人奪去我的披肩。

8 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love.

耶路撒冷的眾女子啊，我囑咐你們： 若遇見我的良人， 要告訴他，我因思愛成病。

9 How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?

你這女子中極美麗的， 你的良人比別人的良人有何強處？ 你的良人比別人的良人有何強處， 你就這樣囑咐我們？

10 My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.

我的良人白而且紅， 超乎萬人之上。

11 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.

他的頭像至精的金子； 他的頭髮厚密纍垂，黑如烏鴉。

12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.

他的眼如溪水旁的鴿子眼， 用奶洗淨，安得合式。

13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.

他的兩腮如香花畦， 如香草臺； 他的嘴唇像百合花， 且滴下沒藥汁。

14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.

他的兩手好像金管， 鑲嵌水蒼玉； 他的身體如同雕刻的象牙， 周圍鑲嵌藍寶石。

15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

他的腿好像白玉石柱， 安在精金座上； 他的形狀如黎巴嫩， 且佳美如香柏樹。

16 His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

他的口極其甘甜； 他全然可愛。 耶路撒冷的眾女子啊， 這是我的良人； 這是我的朋友。
