< Kidung Agung 4 >

1 Engkau cantik jelita, manisku, sungguh, engkau cantik jelita. Matamu di balik cadarmu bagaikan merpati; rambutmu seperti kawanan kambing yang menuruni bukit-bukit Gilead.
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are doves behind thy veil; Thy hair is as a flock of goats, On the slopes of mount Gilead.
2 Gigimu putih seperti kawanan domba yang baru dicukur dan dimandikan; berpasangan seperti anak-anak domba kembar, satu pun tidak ada yang hilang.
Thy teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep, Which go up from the washing; Which have all borne twins, And none is barren among them.
3 Bibirmu bagaikan seutas pita merah, dan eloklah mulutmu. Pipimu seperti belahan buah delima, tersembunyi di balik cadarmu.
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, And thy speech is comely; As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples Behind thy veil.
4 Lehermu bagaikan menara Daud, yang dibangun untuk menyimpan senjata. Kalungmu serupa seribu perisai, gada para pahlawan semuanya.
Thy neck is like the tower of David, Built for an armoury: A thousand bucklers hang thereon, All shields of mighty men.
5 Buah dadamu laksana dua anak rusa, anak kembar kijang yang tengah merumput di antara bunga-bunga bakung.
Thy two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, Which feed among the lilies.
6 Ingin aku pergi ke gunung mur, ke bukit kemenyan, sampai berhembus angin pagi, yang melenyapkan kegelapan malam.
Until the day dawn, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense.
7 Engkau cantik sekali, manisku, tiada cacat padamu.
Thou art all fair, my love; And there is no spot in thee.
8 Mari kita turun dari Libanon, pengantinku, mari kita turun dari Libanon. Turunlah dari puncak Amana, dari puncak Senir dan Hermon, tempat tinggal macan tutul dan singa.
[Come] with me, from Lebanon, [my] spouse, With me from Lebanon, — Come, look from the top of Amanah, From the top of Senir and Hermon, From the lions' dens, From the mountains of the leopards.
9 Engkau menawan hatiku, dinda, pengantinku, engkau menawan hatiku dengan pandanganmu, dengan permata indah pada kalungmu.
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] spouse; Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.
10 Betapa nikmat cintamu, dinda, pengantinku, jauh lebih nikmat daripada anggur. Minyakmu harum semerbak, melebihi segala macam rempah.
How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! How much better is thy love than wine! And the fragrance of thine ointments than all spices!
11 Manis kata-katamu, pengantinku, seperti madu murni dan susu. Pakaianmu seharum Gunung Libanon.
Thy lips, [my] spouse, drop [as] the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under thy tongue; And the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12 Kekasihku adalah kebun bertembok, kebun bertembok, mata air terkunci.
A garden enclosed is my sister, [my] spouse; A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13 Di sana tumbuh pohon-pohon delima, dengan buah-buah yang paling lezat. Bunga pacar dan narwastu,
Thy shoots are a paradise of pomegranates, with precious fruits; Henna with spikenard plants;
14 narwastu, kunyit, kayu manis dan tebu, dengan macam-macam pohon kemenyan. Mur dan gaharu, dengan macam-macam rempah pilihan.
Spikenard and saffron; Calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; Myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15 Mata air di kebunku membualkan air hidup yang mengalir dari Libanon!
A fountain in the gardens, A well of living waters, Which stream from Lebanon.
16 Bangunlah, hai angin utara, datanglah, hai angin selatan! Bertiuplah di kebunku, biar harumnya semerbak. Semoga kekasihku datang ke kebunnya, dan makan buah-buahnya yang lezat.
Awake, north wind, and come, [thou] south; Blow upon my garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow forth. Let my beloved come into his garden, And eat its precious fruits.
