< Kidung Agung 1 >

1 Kidung Agung ciptaan Salomo.
The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.
2 Ciumilah aku dengan bibirmu; cintamu lebih nikmat dari anggur!
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for thy love is better than wine.
3 Engkau harum semerbak, namamu seperti minyak wangi yang tertumpah; sebab itulah gadis-gadis cinta padamu!
Thine oils have a good fragrance. Thy name is oil poured forth. Therefore the virgins love thee.
4 Bergegaslah kita, ya rajaku, bawalah aku ke dalam kamarmu. Karena engkau kami semua bersukaria, dan memuji cintamu melebihi anggur; pantaslah gadis-gadis cinta padamu!
Draw me, we will run after thee. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in thee. We will make mention of thy love more than of wine. Rightly do they love thee.
5 Biar hitam, aku cantik, hai putri-putri Yerusalem; hitam seperti kemah-kemah Kedar, tapi indah seperti tirai-tirai di istana Salomo!
I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6 Jangan perhatikan kulitku yang hitam, sebab aku terbakar sinar matahari. Abang-abangku marah kepadaku, dan menyuruh aku bekerja di kebun anggur; aku tiada waktu mengurus diriku sendiri.
Look not upon me, because I am swarthy, because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were incensed against me. They made me keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept.
7 Katakanlah, hai kekasihku, di mana engkau menggembalakan domba-domba, di mana kaubaringkan mereka di waktu petang? Masakan aku akan seperti pengembara di antara kawanan domba teman-temanmu?
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loves, where thou feed thy flock, where thou make it to rest at noon. For why should I be as she who is veiled beside the flocks of thy companions?
8 Masakan engkau tak tahu tempatnya, hai yang jelita di antara wanita? Ikut saja jejak kawanan domba, dan gembalakanlah kambing-kambingmu di dekat perkemahan para gembala.
If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
9 Kekasihku, engkau laksana kuda betina yang menarik kereta raja Mesir.
I have compared thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Pipimu molek di tengah perhiasan, lehermu indah dengan kalung permata.
Thy cheeks are comely with plaits of hair, thy neck with strings of jewels.
11 Kami buatkan perhiasan emas bagimu, dengan manik-manik perak.
We will make thee plaits of gold with studs of silver.
12 Sementara rajaku di pembaringannya, semerbak wangi narwastuku.
While the king sat at his table, my spikenard sent forth its fragrance.
13 Kekasihku seperti mur harumnya, waktu berbaring di dadaku.
My beloved is to me a bundle of myrrh that lies between my breasts.
14 Kekasihku laksana serumpun bunga pacar di kebun-kebun anggur En-Gedi.
My beloved is to me a cluster of henna-flowers in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15 Engkau cantik jelita, manisku, sungguh cantik engkau! Matamu bagaikan merpati.
Behold, thou are fair, my love, behold thou are fair. Thine eyes are doves.
16 Engkau tampan, sayang, sungguh tampan engkau! Petiduran kita di rumput hijau.
Behold, thou are fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant. Also our couch is green.
17 Pohon aras jadi tiang rumah kita, dan pohon cemara langit-langitnya.
The beams of our house are cedars, our rafters are firs.
