Laulujen laulu 6
1 "Minne on mennyt rakkaasi, sinä naisista kaunein? Kunne on kääntynyt rakkaasi? Etsikäämme häntä yhdessä."
You who are the most beautiful of all the women, where has the one who loves you gone? [If you tell us] which [RHQ] direction he went, we will go with you to search for him.
2 "Rakkaani on mennyt yrttitarhaansa, balsamilavojen luo, paimentamaan yrttitarhoissa ja liljoja poimimaan.
The one who loves me has now come [to me, who am like] [MET, EUP] his garden, He has come to [enjoy my (charms/physical attractions) which are like] [MET, EUP] spices, to enjoy cuddling up to me [EUP, MET], and [kissing my lips, which are like] [MET] lilies.
3 Minä olen rakkaani oma, ja rakkaani on minun-hän, joka paimentaa liljojen keskellä."
I belong to the one who loves me, and the one who loves me belongs to me; he [enjoys kissing] my lips like [MET] [a shepherd enjoys] taking care of [his sheep].
4 "Kaunis kuin Tirsa olet sinä, armaani, suloinen kuin Jerusalem, peljättävä kuin sotajoukot.
My darling, you are beautiful, like [SIM] Tirzah [the capital city of Israel] and Jerusalem [the capital city of Judah are beautiful]; you are as exciting [MET] as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners.
5 Käännä pois silmäsi minusta, sillä ne kiehtovat minut. Sinun hiuksesi ovat kuin vuohilauma, joka laskeutuu Gileadilta.
Quit looking at me like that, because your eyes excite me very much. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats [moving down the slopes] of Gilead [Mountain].
6 Sinun hampaasi ovat kuin lauma uuhia, pesosta nousseita, kaikilla kaksoiset, ei yhtäkään karitsatonta.
Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has just been shorn and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
7 Kuin granaattiomena, kypsyyttään halkeileva, on sinun ohimosi huntusi takana.
Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Kuusikymmentä on kuningatarta ja kahdeksankymmentä sivuvaimoa ja nuoria naisia ilman määrää:
Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
9 yksi ainoa on minun kyyhkyseni, puhtoiseni, äitinsä ainokainen, synnyttäjänsä valio. Neitoset hänet nähdessään kiittävät hänen onneansa, kuningattaret ja sivuvaimot ylistävät häntä."
[none of them would be like] my dove, who is perfect, you who are your mother’s only daughter, whom your mother considers to be very precious. [Other] young women who see you say that you are fortunate, and the queens and concubines recognize that you [are very beautiful].
10 "Kuka on neito, joka ylenee kuin aamunkoi, kauniina kuin kuu, kirkkaana kuin päivänpaiste, peljättävänä kuin sotajoukot?"
Who is [RHQ] this woman who is [as delightful] as [SIM] the dawn, as fair/delightful [to look at] as [the light of] the moon, as exciting as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners?
11 "Pähkinätarhaan minä menin katselemaan laakson vihreyttä, katsomaan, joko viiniköynnös versoo, joko kukkivat granaattipuut.
I went down to some walnut trees to look at the new plants that were growing in the valley. I wanted to see if the grapevines had budded or if the pomegranate trees were blooming.
12 Aavistamattani asetti sieluni minut jalon kansani vaunuihin."
[But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
13 "Palaja, palaja, suulemitar! Palaja, palaja, ihaillaksemme sinua!" "Mitä ihailette suulemittaressa, katselette hänen asekarkelossaan?"
You who are the perfect one, come back [to us], in order that we may see you! Why do you want to look at this woman who is perfect, like [SIM] you like to watch two rows/lines of people dancing?
