Kidung Agung 1
1 Kidung agung dari Salomo.
2 --Kiranya ia mencium aku dengan kecupan! Karena cintamu lebih nikmat dari pada anggur,
Let him kiss me with the kiss of his mouth: for thy breasts are better than wine,
3 harum bau minyakmu, bagaikan minyak yang tercurah namamu, oleh sebab itu gadis-gadis cinta kepadamu!
Smelling sweet of the best ointments. Thy name is as oil poured out: therefore young maidens have loved thee.
4 Tariklah aku di belakangmu, marilah kita cepat-cepat pergi! Sang raja telah membawa aku ke dalam maligai-maligainya. Kami akan bersorak-sorai dan bergembira karena engkau, kami akan memuji cintamu lebih dari pada anggur! Layaklah mereka cinta kepadamu!
Draw me: we will run after thee to the odour of thy ointments. The king hath brought me into his storerooms: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, remembering thy breasts more than wine: the righteous love thee.
5 Memang hitam aku, tetapi cantik, hai puteri-puteri Yerusalem, seperti kemah orang Kedar, seperti tirai-tirai orang Salma.
I am black but beautiful, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Cedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6 Janganlah kamu perhatikan bahwa aku hitam, karena terik matahari membakar aku. Putera-putera ibuku marah kepadaku, aku dijadikan mereka penjaga kebun-kebun anggur; kebun anggurku sendiri tak kujaga.
Do not consider me that I am brown, because the sun hath altered my colour: the sons of my mother have fought against me, they have made me the keeper in the vineyards: my vineyard I have not kept.
7 Ceriterakanlah kepadaku, jantung hatiku, di mana kakanda menggembalakan domba, di mana kakanda membiarkan domba-domba berbaring pada petang hari. Karena mengapa aku akan jadi serupa pengembara dekat kawanan-kawanan domba teman-temanmu?
Shew me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou liest in the midday, lest I begin to wander after the flocks of thy companions.
8 --Jika engkau tak tahu, hai jelita di antara wanita, ikutilah jejak-jejak domba, dan gembalakanlah anak-anak kambingmu dekat perkemahan para gembala.
If thou know not thyself, O fairest among women, go forth, and follow after the steps of the flocks, and feed thy kids beside the tents of the shepherds.
9 --Dengan kuda betina dari pada kereta-kereta Firaun kuumpamakan engkau, manisku.
To my company of horsemen, in Pharao’s chariots, have I likened thee, O my love.
10 Moleklah pipimu di tengah perhiasan-perhiasan dan lehermu di tengah kalung-kalung.
Thy cheeks are beautiful as the turtledove’s, thy neck as jewels.
11 Kami akan membuat bagimu perhiasan-perhiasan emas dengan manik-manik perak.
We will make thee chains of gold, inlaid with silver.
12 --Sementara sang raja duduk pada mejanya, semerbak bau narwastuku.
While the king was at his repose, my spikenard sent forth the odour thereof.
13 Bagiku kekasihku bagaikan sebungkus mur, tersisip di antara buah dadaku.
A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, he shall abide between my breasts.
14 Bagiku kekasihku setangkai bunga pacar di kebun-kebun anggur En-Gedi.
A cluster of cypress my love is to me, in the vineyards of Engaddi.
15 --Lihatlah, cantik engkau, manisku, sungguh cantik engkau, bagaikan merpati matamu.
Behold thou art fair, O my love, behold thou art fair, thy eyes are as those of doves.
16 --Lihatlah, tampan engkau, kekasihku, sungguh menarik; sungguh sejuk petiduran kita.
Behold thou art fair, my beloved, and comely. Our bed is flourishing.
17 Dari kayu aras balok-balok rumah kita, dari kayu eru papan dinding-dinding kita.
The beams of our houses are of cedar, our rafters of cypress trees.
