Kidung Agung 5
1 Aku datang ke kebunku, dinda, pengantinku, kukumpulkan mur dan rempah-rempahku; kumakan sarang lebah dan maduku, kuminum susu dan air anggurku.
I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2 Aku tidur, namun hatiku berjaga. Dengarlah, kekasihku mengetuk pintu.
I sleep, but my heart waketh: [it is] the voice of my beloved that knocketh, [saying], Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, [and] my locks with the drops of the night.
3 Bajuku sudah kulepaskan; apakah akan kupakai lagi? Kakiku sudah kubasuh, apakah akan kukotori lagi?
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
4 Berdebar-debar hatiku karena kekasihku memegang gagang pintu.
My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door], and my bowels were moved for him.
5 Maka bangunlah aku hendak membuka pintu bagi kekasihku. Mur menetes dari tangan dan jari-jariku, membasahi pegangan kancing pintu.
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped [with] myrrh, and my fingers [with] sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6 Kubukakan pintu bagi kekasihku, tetapi ia telah berbalik dan pergi. Aku sangat merindukan suaranya; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia. Kupanggil namanya, tapi ia tak menyahut.
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 Aku ditemui para peronda kota; mereka memukul dan melukai aku, selendangku mereka ambil dengan paksa.
The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8 Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bila kamu menemukan kekasihku, kabarkanlah kepadanya, bahwa aku sakit asmara.
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I [am] sick of love.
9 Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, hai gadis yang paling jelita? Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, sehingga engkau menyuruh kami berjanji?
What [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? what [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
10 Kekasihku gagah dan tampan, unggul di antara sepuluh ribu orang.
My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
11 Kepalanya seperti emas, emas murni, rambutnya berombak dan hitam, sehitam gagak.
His head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks [are] bushy, [and] black as a raven.
12 Matanya bagaikan merpati pada mata air, merpati bermandi susu, duduk di tepi kolam.
His eyes [are] as [the eyes] of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, [and] fitly set.
13 Pipinya seperti kebun rempah yang wangi, bibirnya bunga bakung yang meneteskan mur asli.
His cheeks [are] as a bed of spices, [as] sweet flowers: his lips [like] lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14 Tangannya elok, bercincin emas dengan permata, tubuhnya bagaikan gading bertatah batu nilam.
His hands [are as] gold rings set with the beryl: his belly [is as] bright ivory overlaid [with] sapphires.
15 Kakinya seperti tiang-tiang marmer putih, dengan alas emas murni. Perawakannya segagah gunung-gunung di Libanon, dan seanggun pohon aras.
His legs [are as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance [is] as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 Teramat manis tutur katanya, segala sesuatu padanya menarik. Begitulah kekasih dan sahabatku, hai putri-putri Yerusalem!
His mouth [is] most sweet: yea, he [is] altogether lovely. This [is] my beloved, and this [is] my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
