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 have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
2 Aku tidur, namun hatiku berjaga. Dengarlah, kekasihku mengetuk pintu.
I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3 Bajuku sudah kulepaskan; apakah akan kupakai lagi? Kakiku sudah kubasuh, apakah akan kukotori lagi?
I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
4 Berdebar-debar hatiku karena kekasihku memegang gagang pintu.
My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded 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 for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on 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 left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.
7 Aku ditemui para peronda kota; mereka memukul dan melukai aku, selendangku mereka ambil dengan paksa.
The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
8 Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bila kamu menemukan kekasihku, kabarkanlah kepadanya, bahwa aku sakit asmara.
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint 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?
How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?
10 Kekasihku gagah dan tampan, unggul di antara sepuluh ribu orang.
My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
11 Kepalanya seperti emas, emas murni, rambutnya berombak dan hitam, sehitam gagak.
His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
12 Matanya bagaikan merpati pada mata air, merpati bermandi susu, duduk di tepi kolam.
His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
13 Pipinya seperti kebun rempah yang wangi, bibirnya bunga bakung yang meneteskan mur asli.
His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
14 Tangannya elok, bercincin emas dengan permata, tubuhnya bagaikan gading bertatah batu nilam.
His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work 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 like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like 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 sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
