Kidung Agung 8
1 Ah, sekiranya engkau saudara kandungku, yang pernah menyusu pada ibuku, pasti kau kucium bila kujumpai di jalan, tak ada yang akan menghina aku.
Bride to Groom: Who will give you to me as my brother, feeding from the breasts of my mother, so that I may discover you outside, and may kiss you, and so that now no one may despise me?
2 Engkau akan kubawa ke rumah ibuku, agar engkau dapat mengajari aku. Kau akan kuberi minum anggur harum, dan air buah delima.
I will take hold of you and lead you into my mother’s house. There you will teach me, and I will give you a cup of spiced wine, and of new wine from my pomegranates.
3 Tangan kirimu menopang aku, tangan kananmu memeluk aku.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
4 Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bahwa kamu takkan mengganggu cinta, sampai ia dipuaskan.
Groom to Chorus: I bind you by oath, O daughters of Jerusalem, not to disturb or awaken the beloved, until she wills.
5 Siapakah itu yang datang dari padang gurun, bersandar pada kekasihnya?
Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who ascends from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved? Groom to Bride: Under the apple tree, I awakened you. There your mother was corrupted. There she who bore you was violated.
6 Jadikanlah aku buah hatimu, jangan memeluk siapa pun selain aku; karena cinta itu sekuat maut, dan nafsu berkuasa seperti kematian. Nyalanya seperti nyala api yang berkobar dengan dahsyat. (Sheol h7585)
Set me like a seal upon your heart, like a seal upon your arm. For love is strong, like death, and envy is enduring, like hell: their lamps are made of fire and flames. (Sheol h7585)
7 Air yang banyak tak mampu memadamkan cinta, dan banjir tak dapat menghanyutkannya. Jika seorang memberi segala hartanya untuk membeli cinta, pasti hanya penghinaan yang didapatnya.
A multitude of waters cannot extinguish love, nor can a river overwhelm it. If a man were to give all the substance of his house in exchange for love, he would despise it as nothing.
8 Kami mempunyai seorang adik wanita yang masih kecil buah dadanya. Apa yang harus kami buat baginya bila ada yang datang meminangnya?
Chorus: Our sister is little and has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is called upon?
9 Andaikata ia sebuah tembok, akan kami dirikan menara perak di atasnya. Andaikata ia sebuah gapura, akan kami palangi dengan kayu cemara.
If she is a wall, let us build a rampart of silver upon it. If she is a door, let us join it together with boards of cedar.
10 Aku ini sebuah tembok, dan buah dadaku menaranya. Kekasihku tahu bahwa pada dia aku bahagia.
Bride to Chorus: I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers, since, in his presence, I have become like one who has discovered peace.
11 Salomo mempunyai kebun anggur di Baal-Hamon; kebun itu diserahkannya kepada para penjaga. Masing-masing membayar seribu uang perak untuk hasilnya,
The peaceful one had a vineyard, in that which held the peoples. He handed it on to the caretakers; a man brought, in exchange for its fruit, a thousand pieces of silver.
12 dan mendapat dua ratus untuk jerih payahnya. Biarlah uang itu untukmu, Salomo, dan untuk para penjaga kebunmu. Tapi kebun anggurku, milikku sendiri, ada di hadapanku.
Groom: My vineyard is before me. The thousand is for your peacefulness, and two hundred is for those who care for its fruit.
13 Hai, penghuni kebun, teman-teman ingin mendengar suaramu; perdengarkanlah itu kepadaku!
Bride to Groom: Your friends are attentive to those who have been dwelling in the gardens. Cause me to heed your voice.
14 Kekasihku, datanglah seperti kijang, seperti anak rusa di pegunungan Beter.
Flee away, my beloved, and become like the doe and the young stag upon the mountains of aromatic plants.
