< 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.
Lo, thou [art] fair, my friend, lo, thou [art] fair, Thine eyes [are] doves behind thy veil, Thy hair as a row of the goats That have shone from 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 as a row of the shorn ones That have come up from the washing, For all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them.
3 Bibirmu bagaikan seutas pita merah, dan eloklah mulutmu. Pipimu seperti belahan buah delima, tersembunyi di balik cadarmu.
As a thread of scarlet [are] thy lips, And thy speech [is] comely, As the work of the pomegranate [is] thy temple behind thy veil,
4 Lehermu bagaikan menara Daud, yang dibangun untuk menyimpan senjata. Kalungmu serupa seribu perisai, gada para pahlawan semuanya.
As the tower of David [is] thy neck, built for an armoury, The chief of the shields are hung on it, All shields of the mighty.
5 Buah dadamu laksana dua anak rusa, anak kembar kijang yang tengah merumput di antara bunga-bunga bakung.
Thy two breasts [are] as two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are feeding among lilies.
6 Ingin aku pergi ke gunung mur, ke bukit kemenyan, sampai berhembus angin pagi, yang melenyapkan kegelapan malam.
Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled away, I will get me unto the mountain of myrrh, And unto the hill of frankincense.
7 Engkau cantik sekali, manisku, tiada cacat padamu.
Thou [art] all fair, my friend, And a blemish there is not in thee. Come from Lebanon, O spouse,
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 Lebanon, come thou in. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Hermon, From the habitations of lions, From the mountains of leopards.
9 Engkau menawan hatiku, dinda, pengantinku, engkau menawan hatiku dengan pandanganmu, dengan permata indah pada kalungmu.
Thou hast emboldened me, my sister-spouse, Emboldened me 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 wonderful have been thy loves, my sister-spouse, How much better have been thy loves than wine, And the fragrance of thy perfumes than all spices.
11 Manis kata-katamu, pengantinku, seperti madu murni dan susu. Pakaianmu seharum Gunung Libanon.
Thy lips drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk [are] under thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments [Is] as the fragrance of Lebanon.
12 Kekasihku adalah kebun bertembok, kebun bertembok, mata air terkunci.
A garden shut up [is] my sister-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 a paradise of pomegranates, With precious fruits,
14 narwastu, kunyit, kayu manis dan tebu, dengan macam-macam pohon kemenyan. Mur dan gaharu, dengan macam-macam rempah pilihan.
Cypresses with nard — nard and saffron, Cane and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices.
15 Mata air di kebunku membualkan air hidup yang mengalir dari Libanon!
A fount of gardens, a well of living waters, And flowings 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, O north wind, and come, O south, Cause my garden to breathe forth, its spices let flow, Let my beloved come to his garden, And eat its pleasant fruits!
