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, you are fair, my companion; behold, you are fair; your eyes are doves, beside your veil: your hair is as flocks of goats, that have appeared from Galaad.
2 Gigimu putih seperti kawanan domba yang baru dicukur dan dimandikan; berpasangan seperti anak-anak domba kembar, satu pun tidak ada yang hilang.
Your teeth are as flocks of shorn [sheep], that have gone up from the washing; all of them bearing twins, and there is not a barren one among them.
3 Bibirmu bagaikan seutas pita merah, dan eloklah mulutmu. Pipimu seperti belahan buah delima, tersembunyi di balik cadarmu.
Your lips are as a thread of scarlet, and your speech is comely: like the rind of a pomegranate is your cheek without your veil.
4 Lehermu bagaikan menara Daud, yang dibangun untuk menyimpan senjata. Kalungmu serupa seribu perisai, gada para pahlawan semuanya.
Your neck is as the tower of David, that was built for an armory: a thousand shields hang upon it, [and] all darts of mighty men.
5 Buah dadamu laksana dua anak rusa, anak kembar kijang yang tengah merumput di antara bunga-bunga bakung.
Your two breasts are as two twin fawns, that 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 depart, I will betake me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7 Engkau cantik sekali, manisku, tiada cacat padamu.
You are all fair, my companion, and there is no spot in you.
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 from Libanus, [my] bride, come from Libanus: you shall come and pass from the top of Faith, from the top of Sanir 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.
My sister, [my] spouse, you have ravished my heart; you have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.
10 Betapa nikmat cintamu, dinda, pengantinku, jauh lebih nikmat daripada anggur. Minyakmu harum semerbak, melebihi segala macam rempah.
How beautiful are your breasts, my sister, my spouse! how much more beautiful are your breasts than wine, and the smell of your garments than all spices!
11 Manis kata-katamu, pengantinku, seperti madu murni dan susu. Pakaianmu seharum Gunung Libanon.
Your lips drop honeycomb, my spouse: honey and milk are under your tongue; and the smell of your garments is as the smell of Libanus.
12 Kekasihku adalah kebun bertembok, kebun bertembok, mata air terkunci.
My sister, [my] spouse is a garden enclosed; a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed.
13 Di sana tumbuh pohon-pohon delima, dengan buah-buah yang paling lezat. Bunga pacar dan narwastu,
Your shoots are a garden of pomegranates, with the fruit of choice berries; camphor, with spikenard:
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 woods of Libanus, myrrh, aloes, with all chief spices:
15 Mata air di kebunku membualkan air hidup yang mengalir dari Libanon!
a fountain of a garden, and a well of water springing and gurgling from Libanus.
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, O north wind; and come, O south; and blow through my garden, and let my spices flow out.
