Kidung Agung 1
1 Kidung agung dari Salomo.
THE SONG of songs, which is Solomon's.
2 --Kiranya ia mencium aku dengan kecupan! Karena cintamu lebih nikmat dari pada anggur,
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for thy love is better than wine.
3 harum bau minyakmu, bagaikan minyak yang tercurah namamu, oleh sebab itu gadis-gadis cinta kepadamu!
Thine ointments have a goodly fragrance; thy name is as ointment poured forth; therefore do the maidens love 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; the king hath brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will find thy love more fragrant than wine! sincerely do they 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 comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, 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.
Look not upon me, that I am swarthy, that the sun hath tanned me; my mother's sons were incensed against me, they made me keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I 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?
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon; for why should I be as one that veileth herself beside 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, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock and feed thy kids, beside the shepherds' tents.
9 --Dengan kuda betina dari pada kereta-kereta Firaun kuumpamakan engkau, manisku.
I have compared thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Moleklah pipimu di tengah perhiasan-perhiasan dan lehermu di tengah kalung-kalung.
Thy cheeks are comely with circlets, thy neck with beads.
11 Kami akan membuat bagimu perhiasan-perhiasan emas dengan manik-manik perak.
We will make thee circlets of gold with studs of silver.
12 --Sementara sang raja duduk pada mejanya, semerbak bau narwastuku.
While the king sat at his table, my spikenard sent forth its fragrance.
13 Bagiku kekasihku bagaikan sebungkus mur, tersisip di antara buah dadaku.
My beloved is unto me as a bag of myrrh, that lieth betwixt my breasts.
14 Bagiku kekasihku setangkai bunga pacar di kebun-kebun anggur En-Gedi.
My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15 --Lihatlah, cantik engkau, manisku, sungguh cantik engkau, bagaikan merpati matamu.
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are as doves.
16 --Lihatlah, tampan engkau, kekasihku, sungguh menarik; sungguh sejuk petiduran kita.
Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; also our couch is leafy.
17 Dari kayu aras balok-balok rumah kita, dari kayu eru papan dinding-dinding kita.
The beams of our houses are cedars, and our panels are cypresses.
