Kidung Agung 5
1 --Aku datang ke kebunku, dinda, pengantinku, kukumpulkan mur dan rempah-rempahku, kumakan sambangku dan maduku, kuminum anggurku dan susuku. Makanlah, teman-teman, minumlah, minumlah sampai mabuk cinta!
I have come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2 Aku tidur, tetapi hatiku bangun. Dengarlah, kekasihku mengetuk. "Bukalah pintu, dinda, manisku, merpatiku, idam-idamanku, karena kepalaku penuh embun, dan rambutku penuh tetesan embun malam!"
I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
3 "Bajuku telah kutanggalkan, apakah aku akan mengenakannya lagi? Kakiku telah kubasuh, apakah aku akan mengotorkannya pula?"
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
4 Kekasihku memasukkan tangannya melalui lobang pintu, berdebar-debarlah hatiku.
My beloved put his hand through the opening of the door, and my heart was moved for him.
5 Aku bangun untuk membuka pintu bagi kekasihku, tanganku bertetesan mur; bertetesan cairan mur jari-jariku pada pegangan kancing pintu.
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands flowed with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6 Kekasihku kubukakan pintu, tetapi kekasihku sudah pergi, lenyap. Seperti pingsan aku ketika ia menghilang. Kucari dia, tetapi tak kutemui, kupanggil, tetapi tak disahutnya.
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 Aku ditemui peronda-peronda kota, dipukulinya aku, dilukainya, selendangku dirampas oleh penjaga-penjaga tembok.
The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8 Kusumpahi kamu, puteri-puteri Yerusalem: bila kamu menemukan kekasihku, apakah yang akan kamu katakan kepadanya? Katakanlah, bahwa sakit asmara aku!
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick with love.
9 --Apakah kelebihan kekasihmu dari pada kekasih yang lain, hai jelita di antara wanita? Apakah kelebihan kekasihmu dari pada kekasih yang lain, sehingga kausumpahi kami begini?
What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
10 --Putih bersih dan merah cerah kekasihku, menyolok mata di antara selaksa orang.
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chief among ten thousand.
11 Bagaikan emas, emas murni, kepalanya, rambutnya mengombak, hitam seperti gagak.
His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
12 Matanya bagaikan merpati pada batang air, bermandi dalam susu, duduk pada kolam yang penuh.
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
13 Pipinya bagaikan bedeng rempah-rempah, petak-petak rempah-rempah akar. Bunga-bunga bakung bibirnya, bertetesan cairan mur.
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14 Tangannya bundaran emas, berhiaskan permata Tarsis, tubuhnya ukiran dari gading, bertabur batu nilam.
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
15 Kakinya adalah tiang-tiang marmar putih, bertumpu pada alas emas murni. Perawakannya seperti gunung Libanon, terpilih seperti pohon-pohon aras.
His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 Kata-katanya manis semata-mata, segala sesuatu padanya menarik. Demikianlah kekasihku, demikianlah temanku, hai puteri-puteri Yerusalem.
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
