Laulujen laulu 4
1 "Katso, kaunis sinä olet, armaani; katso, kaunis sinä olet. Kyyhkyläiset ovat sinun silmäsi huntusi takana; sinun hiuksesi ovat kuin vuohilauma, joka laskeutuu Gileadin vuorilta.
My darling, you are beautiful, you are very beautiful! Underneath your veil, your eyes are [as gentle as] [MET] doves. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats moving down the slopes of Gilead Mountain.
2 Sinun hampaasi ovat kuin lauma kerittyjä lampaita, pesosta nousseita, kaikilla kaksoiset, ei yhtäkään karitsatonta.
Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has [just] been (shorn/cut off) and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
3 Kuin punainen nauha ovat sinun huulesi, ja suusi on suloinen; kuin granaattiomena, kypsyyttään halkeileva, on sinun ohimosi huntusi takana.
Your lips are like [SIM] a scarlet ribbon, and your mouth is lovely. Beneath your veil, your [round, rosy/red] cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
4 Sinun kaulasi on niinkuin Daavidin torni, linnaksi rakennettu; tuhat kilpeä riippuu siinä, urhojen varustuksia kaikkia.
Your [long] neck is [beautiful] like [SIM] the tower of [King] David that was built using layers/rows of stone. [The ornaments on your necklaces are like] 1,000 [HYP] shields that are hanging [on the walls of a tower]; each one belongs to a warrior.
5 Sinun rintasi ovat kuin kaksi nuorta peuraa, kuin gasellin kaksoiset, jotka käyvät laitumella liljain keskellä.
Your breasts are [as beautiful] [SIM] as two (fawns/young gazelles) that eat [grass] among lilies.
6 Siksi kunnes päivä viilenee ja varjot pakenevat, minä käyn mirhavuorelle ja suitsukekukkulalle.
Until dawn [tomorrow morning] and the nighttime shadows/darkness disappear, I will [lie close to your breasts] that are [like] [MET] hills that are covered with incense [DOU].
7 Kaikin olet kaunis, armaani, ei ole sinussa ainoatakaan virheä."
My darling, you are completely beautiful; your body is perfectly [formed]!
8 "Tule kanssani Libanonilta, sinä morsiameni, tule kanssani Libanonilta. Lähde pois Amanan huipulta, Senirin ja Hermonin huipuilta, leijonain leposijoilta ja pantterien vuorilta."
My bride, [it is as though you are in] [MET] Lebanon [far away, where I cannot reach you]; come back to me. [It is as though you are inaccessible] [MET] on the top of Hermon Mountain or the nearby peaks. Come from where the lions have their dens and where the leopards live on the mountains.
9 "Olet lumonnut minut, siskoni, morsiameni, lumonnut minut yhdellä ainoalla silmäykselläsi, yhdellä ainoalla kaulakoristeesi käädyllä.
My bride [DOU], you who are dearer to me than my sister, you have captured my affection [IDM] by only once quickly looking at me, and by one [strand of] jewels in your necklace.
10 Kuinka ihana onkaan sinun rakkautesi, siskoni, morsiameni! Kuinka paljon suloisempi viiniä on sinun rakkautesi, suloisempi kaikkia balsameja sinun voiteittesi tuoksu!
My bride, your love for me is delightful! It more delightful than wine! And the fragrance of your perfume is more pleasing than any spice!
11 Sinun huulesi tiukkuvat hunajaa, morsiameni; mesi ja maito on sinun kielesi alla, ja sinun vaatteittesi tuoksu on kuin Libanonin tuoksu."
Being kissed by you is [as enjoyable as eating] [MTY] honey; your kisses are as sweet as milk [mixed with] honey. The aroma of your clothes is like [SIM] the aroma of [cedar trees in] Lebanon.
12 "Suljettu yrttitarha on siskoni, morsiameni, suljettu kaivo, lukittu lähde.
My bride, [you who are dearer to me than] [MET] my sister, you are [like] [MET] a garden that is locked [in order that other men cannot enter it]; [you are like] [MET] a spring or a fountain that is covered [in order that others may not drink from it].
13 Sinä versot kuin paratiisi, jossa on granaattiomenia ynnä kalliita hedelmiä, koofer-kukkia ja narduksia,
You are [like] [MET] an orchard of pomegranate trees full of delicious fruit, and plenty of [plants that produce] henna and nard [spices],
14 nardusta ja sahramia, kalmoruokoa ja kanelia ynnä kaikkinaisia suitsukepuita, mirhaa ja aloeta ynnä kaikkinaisia parhaita balsamikasveja.
and saffron and calamus and cinnamon and many other kinds of incense, and myrrh and aloes and many [other] fine spices.
15 Sinä olet yrttitarhojen lähde, elävien vetten kaivo, Libanonilta virtaavaisten."
[You are like] [MET] a fountain in a garden, [like] [MET] a spring of clear water that flows [down] from [the mountains of] Lebanon.
16 "Heräjä, pohjatuuli, tule, etelätuuli; puhalla yrttitarhaani, että sen balsamituoksut tulvahtaisivat. Tulkoon puutarhaansa rakkaani ja syököön sen kalliita hedelmiä."
[I want] the north wind and the south wind to come, and blow on my garden, [in order that] the fragrance [of the spices will] spread through the air. [Similarly], I want the one who loves me to come and enjoy [cuddling up to me] [like] [MET, EUP] someone comes into a garden and enjoys eating the fruit [that grows there].
