< Song of Solomon 6 >
1 Whither hath thy beloved gone, O fair among women? Whither hath thy beloved turned, And we seek him with thee?
◆耶京女郎: 妳這女中極美麗的啊! 妳的愛人往那裏去了﹖妳的愛人轉向何處去了﹖妳讓我們同妳一起去尋找﹖◆新娘:
2 My beloved went down to his garden, To the beds of the spice, To delight himself in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
我的愛人到自己的花園,到香畦去了,好在花園中牧羊,採百合花。
3 I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine, Who is delighting himself among the lilies.
我屬於我的愛人,我的愛人屬於我,他在百合花間,牧放他的羊群。◆新郎:
4 Fair [art] thou, my friend, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts.
我的愛卿! 妳美麗有如提爾匝,可愛有如耶路撒冷,莊嚴有如整齊的軍旅。
5 Turn round thine eyes from before me, Because they have made me proud. Thy hair [is] as a row of the goats, That have shone from Gilead,
轉過妳的眼去,不要看我,因為妳的眼使我迷亂;妳的頭髮猶如由基肋阿得山下來的一群山羊。
6 Thy teeth as a row of the lambs, That have come up from the washing, Because all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them.
妳的牙齒像一群浴後上來的母綿羊,都懷有雙胎,沒有不生育的。
7 As the work of the pomegranate [is] thy temple behind thy veil.
妳隱在面紗後的兩頰,有如分裂兩半的石榴。
8 Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without number.
皇后六十,嬪妃八十,少女無數:
9 One is my dove, my perfect one, One she [is] of her mother, The choice one she [is] of her that bare her, Daughters saw, and pronounce her happy, Queens and concubines, and they praise her.
但是,我的鴿子,我的完人,只有一個,她是生養她者的愛女;少女見了她,都稱她有福;皇后與嬪妃,也都讚揚她。◆耶京女郎:
10 'Who [is] this that is looking forth as morning, Fair as the moon — clear as the sun, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts?'
「那上升如晨曦,美麗如月亮,光耀如太陽,莊嚴如整齊軍旅的,是誰﹖」[第五幕:愛情的享受]◆新娘:
11 Unto a garden of nuts I went down, To look on the buds of the valley, To see whither the vine had flourished, The pomegranates had blossomed —
我下到核桃園中,要欣賞谷中的新綠,看看葡萄樹是否發了芽,石榴樹是否開了花﹖
12 I knew not my soul, It made me — chariots of my people Nadib.
我的熱誠摧促我登上了我民主上的御駕。
13 Return, return, O Shulammith! Return, return, and we look upon thee. What do ye see in Shulammith?
耶京女郎:1. 歸來,歸來! 叔拉米特! 歸來,歸來! 讓我看看妳! 妳們要看叔拉米特什麼﹖看她在兩隊中舞蹈。◆甲:
