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.
[[Lov.]] I am come to my garden, my sister, my spouse! I gather my myrrh with my balsam, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends! Drink, yea, drink abundantly, my loved companions!
2 Aku tidur, namun hatiku berjaga. Dengarlah, kekasihku mengetuk pintu.
[[M.]] I slept, but my heart was awake; It was the voice of my beloved, who was knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one! 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 taken off my vest [[said I]]; How shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; How shall I soil them?”
4 Berdebar-debar hatiku karena kekasihku memegang gagang pintu.
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, And my heart was 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 self-flowing myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt.
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I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. I was not in my senses while he spake with me! I sought him, but 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 go about the city found me; They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away from me my veil.
8 Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bila kamu menemukan kekasihku, kabarkanlah kepadanya, bahwa aku sakit asmara.
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem! If ye should find my beloved, —What will ye tell him? That I am sick with love.
9 Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, hai gadis yang paling jelita? Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, sehingga engkau menyuruh kami berjanji?
[[Lad.]] What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women! What is thy beloved more than another beloved, That thus thou dost charge us?
10 Kekasihku gagah dan tampan, unggul di antara sepuluh ribu orang.
[[M.]] My beloved is white and ruddy, The chief 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 waving palm-branches, Black as a raven;
12 Matanya bagaikan merpati pada mata air, merpati bermandi susu, duduk di tepi kolam.
His eyes are doves by streams of water, Washed with milk, dwelling in fulness;
13 Pipinya seperti kebun rempah yang wangi, bibirnya bunga bakung yang meneteskan mur asli.
His cheeks are like a bed of balsam, Like beds of spices; His lips are lilies Dropping self-flowing myrrh;
14 Tangannya elok, bercincin emas dengan permata, tubuhnya bagaikan gading bertatah batu nilam.
His hands are gold rings set with chrysolite; His body is wrought-work of 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 marble pillars, resting on pedestals of fine gold; His aspect is like Lebanon, Majestic like the cedars;
16 Teramat manis tutur katanya, segala sesuatu padanya menarik. Begitulah kekasih dan sahabatku, hai putri-putri Yerusalem!
His mouth is sweetness; His whole being, loveliness. This is my beloved, This my friend, O ye daughters of Jerusalem!
