< 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?
婦女のいと美はしきものよ 汝の愛する者は何處へゆきしや なんぢの愛する者はいづこへおもむきしや われら汝とともにたづねん
2 My beloved went down to his garden, To the beds of the spice, To delight himself in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
わが愛するものは己の園にくだり 香しき花の床にゆき 園の中にて群を牧ひ また百合花を採る
3 I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine, Who is delighting himself among the lilies.
我はわが愛する者につき わが愛する者はわれにつく 彼は百合花の中にてその群を牧ふ
4 Fair [art] thou, my friend, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts.
わが佳耦よ なんぢは美はしきことテルザのごとく 華やかなることエルサレムのごとく 畏るべきこと旗をあげたる軍旅のごとし
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,
なんぢの目は我をおそれしむ 請ふ我よりはなれしめよ なんぢの髪はギレアデ山の腰に臥たる山羊の群に似たり
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.
なんぢの齒は毛を剪たる牝羊の浴塲より出たるがごとし おのおの雙子をうみてひとつも子なきものはなし
7 As the work of the pomegranate [is] thy temple behind thy veil.
なんぢの頬は面帕の後にありて石榴の半片に似たり
8 Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without number.
后六十人 妃嬪八十人 數しられぬ處女あり
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.
わが鴿わが完き者はただ一人のみ 彼はその母の獨子にして産たる者の喜ぶところの者なり 女子等は彼を見て幸福なる者ととなへ 后等妃嬪等は彼を見て讃む
10 'Who [is] this that is looking forth as morning, Fair as the moon — clear as the sun, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts?'
この晨光のごとくに見えわたり 月のごとくに美はしく 日のごとくに輝やき 畏るべきこと旗をあげたる軍旅のごとき者は誰ぞや われ胡桃の園にくだりゆき 谷の青き草木を見 葡萄や芽しし石榴の花や咲しと見回しをりしに
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 —
12 I knew not my soul, It made me — chariots of my people Nadib.
意はず知ず我が心われをしてわが貴とき民の車の中間にあらしむ
13 Return, return, O Shulammith! Return, return, and we look upon thee. What do ye see in Shulammith?
歸れ歸れシユラミの婦よ 歸れ歸れ われら汝を觀んことをねがふ なんぢら何とてマハナイムの跳舞を觀るごとくにシユラミの婦を觀んとねがふや
