1 Eljöttem kertembe, én nővérem, én arám, leszedtem myrrhámat fűszeremmel együtt, ettem lépemet a mézemmel együtt, ittam boromat a tejemmel együtt; egyetek, társaim, igyatok és részegedjetek, barátaim!
My bride, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, I have come [to cuddle up to you] [MET, EUP]; [it will be as though] I will be gathering myrrh with my other spices, and eating my honey and my honeycomb, and drinking my wine and my milk. You two who love each other, enjoy your lovemaking; enjoy all that you want to.
2 Alszom én, de szívem ébren van. Hallga, barátom kopog: nyiss ki, nővérem, kedvesem, galambom, jámborom, mert fejem harmattal van tele, fürteim az éjnek csepjeivel.
I was partially asleep, but my mind was [still] awake. Then I heard the one who loves me knocking [at the door]. [He said], “My darling, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, my dear friend, my perfect one, my dove [MET], open the door for me! My hair is wet from the dew, from the mist [that has fallen during] the night.”
3 Levetettem köntösömet, hogyan ölteném föl, megmostam lábaimat, hogyan szennyezném be?
[But] I had already taken off my robe; I did not [RHQ] want to put it on again [to open the door]. I had [already] washed my feet; I did not [RHQ] want them to become dirty again.
4 Barátom benyújtotta kezét a nyíláson, és beleim zúgtak miatta.
The one who loves me put his hand through the opening [in the wall], and I was thrilled [that he was there].
5 Fölkeltem én kinyitni barátomnak, s kezeim cseppegtek myrrhától és ujjaim myrrhától, mely folyt a závár ágaira.
I got up to open [the door] for the one who loves me, [but first I put a lot of] myrrh on my hands. The myrrh was dripping from my fingers while I unlatched the bolt.
6 Kinyitottam én barátomnak, de barátom elfordult, eltűnt – lelkem elszállt beszéde alatt- kerestem őt, de nem találtam; szólítottam, de nem felelt nekem.
I opened [the door] for the man who loves me, but he had left. He had turned away and was gone! I was very disappointed [IDM]; I searched for him, but I could not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.
7 Találtak engem az őrök, kik körüljárnak a városban, vertek engem, megsebesítettek, levették fátyolomat rólam a falak őrei.
The city watchmen saw me while they were walking around the city. They beat me and wounded me [because they thought I must be a prostitute]; those men who were guarding the city walls took my robe.
8 Megesketlek titeket, Jeruzsálem leányai: ha találjátok barátomat, mit mondjatok neki? Hogy betegje vagyok a szerelemnek.
You young women of Jerusalem, I plead with you, if you see the man who loves me, tell him [DOU] that I am very disappointed that we did not make love.
9 Miben különb a barátod más barátnál, te legszebbike az asszonyoknak, miben különb a barátod más barátnál, hogy úgy megesketsz minket?
You who are the (fairest/most beautiful) among women, why [do you think that] the one who loves you is better than other men? In what way is the man who loves you better than other men with the result that you ask us to tell him that?
10 Barátom fehér és piros, kiemelkedő tízezer közül;
The man who loves me is handsome and healthy, (outstanding among/better than) (10,000/an uncountable number of) [other men].
11 feje finom arany, fürtjei bodrosak, feketék mint a holló;
His head is [beautiful, like] [MET] purest gold; his hair is wavy and as black as [SIM] a raven/crow.
12 szemei mint galambok a víz medreinél, tejben fürödnek, foglalatban ülnek;
His eyes [are as gentle] as [SIM] doves along the streams; [the white parts of] his eyes are as white as [MET] milk, [with what resembles] jewels inlaid in them.
13 orczái mint fűszeres virágágyak, illatszereket termők; ajkai liliomok, cseppegve folyó myrrhától;
His cheeks are like [SIM] a garden full of spice trees that produce [sweet-smelling] perfume. His lips are [like] [SIM] lilies that have myrrh/perfume dripping from them.
14 kezei aranyhengerek tarsiskövekkel foglalva, teste remekmű elefántcsontból, borítva zafírkövekkel;
His arms are like [MET] gold bars/rods that are decorated with precious stones/jewels. His body is like [SIM] [a column/pillar of] ivory that is decorated with (sapphires/valuable [blue] stones).
15 lábszárai márványoszlopok, ráillesztve arany talpakra; ábrázata olyan, mint a Libánon, válogatott, mint a czedrusok;
His legs are [like] [MET] pillars of marble that are set in bases made of pure gold. He is [majestic, like the mountains of] [SIM] Lebanon, as delightful/beautiful as [SIM] cedar [trees].
16 ínye édesség és mindenestől gyönyörűség. Ez az én barátom s ez az én társam, Jeruzsálem leányai!
His kisses [MTY] are extremely sweet; he is very handsome. You young women of Jerusalem, all that tells you why the one who loves me and who is my friend [is better than other men].
