Kidung Agung 6
1 Ke mana kekasihmu pergi, hai gadis yang paling jelita? Ke mana kekasihmu pergi, agar kami ikut mencarinya?
To where has your beloved gone, O beautiful among women? To where has your beloved turned, And we seek him with you?
2 Kekasihku pergi ke kebunnya, ke kebun rempah-rempah untuk menggembalakan domba-domba di kebun, dan memetik bunga-bunga bakung.
My beloved went down to his garden, To the beds of the spice, To delight himself in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
3 Aku milik kekasihku, dan dia milikku, ia menggembalakan domba-domba di tengah bunga-bunga bakung.
I [am] my beloved’s, and my beloved [is] mine, Who is delighting himself among the lilies.
4 Engkau cantik, manisku, secantik kota Yerusalem, seelok kota Tirzah. Engkau sangat mempesonakan, seperti bala tentara dengan panji-panjinya.
You [are] beautiful, my friend, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts.
5 Palingkanlah wajahmu daripadaku, sebab pandanganmu membingungkan aku. Rambutmu seperti kawanan kambing yang menuruni bukit-bukit Gilead.
Turn around your eyes from before me, Because they have made me proud. Your hair [is] as a row of the goats, That have shone from Gilead,
6 Gigimu putih seperti kawanan domba yang baru dicukur dan dimandikan; berpasangan seperti anak-anak domba kembar, satu pun tak ada yang hilang.
Your teeth as a row of the lambs, That have come up from the washing, Because all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them.
7 Pipimu seperti belahan buah delima, tersembunyi di balik cadarmu.
As the work of the pomegranate [is] your temple behind your veil.
8 Biarpun ada enam puluh permaisuri, dan delapan puluh selir, serta gadis-gadis banyak sekali,
Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without number.
9 namun hanya satulah merpatiku, idamanku, anak tunggal kesayangan ibunya. Gadis-gadis melihat dan memuji dia, para permaisuri dan selir kagum padanya.
One is my dove, my perfect one, She [is] one of her mother, She [is] the choice one of her that bore her, Daughters saw, and pronounce her blessed, Queens and concubines, and they praise her.
10 Siapakah dia yang datang laksana fajar merekah, seindah bulan purnama, secerah sang surya? Ia sangat mempesonakan, seperti bala tentara dengan panji-panjinya.
“Who [is] this that is looking forth as morning, Beautiful as the moon—clear as the sun, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts?”
11 Aku datang ke kebun kenari, melihat kuntum-kuntum di lembah; entah pohon anggur sudah ada kuncupnya, dan pohon delima sudah berbunga.
To a garden of nuts I went down, To look on the buds of the valley, To see to where the vine had flourished, The pomegranates had blossomed—
12 Aku sangat merindukan cintamu, seperti kurindukan naik kereta perang bersama para bangsawan.
I did not know my soul, It made me—chariots of my people Nadib.
13 Menarilah, hai gadis Sulam, berputar-putarlah, supaya kami kagumi.
Return, return, O Shulammith! Return, return, and we look on you. What do you see in Shulammith?
