Kidung Agung 6
1 --Ke mana perginya kekasihmu, hai jelita di antara wanita? Ke jurusan manakah kekasihmu pergi, supaya kami mencarinya besertamu?
[[Lad.]] Whither is thy beloved gone, thou fairest among women? Whither hath thy beloved betaken himself? That we may seek him with thee.
2 --Kekasihku telah turun ke kebunnya, ke bedeng rempah-rempah untuk menggembalakan domba dalam kebun dan memetik bunga bakung.
[[M.]] My beloved is gone down to his garden, To the beds of balsam, To feed in the gardens, And to gather lilies.
3 Aku kepunyaan kekasihku, dan kepunyaanku kekasihku, yang menggembalakan domba di tengah-tengah bunga bakung.
I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine; He feedeth among the lilies.
4 Cantik engkau, manisku, seperti kota Tirza, juita seperti Yerusalem, dahsyat seperti bala tentara dengan panji-panjinya.
Beautiful art thou, my love, as Tirzah, Lovely as Jerusalem; But terrible as an army with banners.
5 Palingkanlah matamu dari padaku, sebab aku menjadi bingung karenanya. Rambutmu bagaikan kawanan kambing yang bergelombang turun dari Gilead.
Turn away thine eyes from me! They overpower me! Thy locks are like a flock of goats, Which lie down upon Gilead.
6 Gigimu bagaikan kawanan domba, yang keluar dari tempat pembasuhan, yang beranak kembar semuanya, yang tak beranak tak ada.
Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep, Which come up from the washing-place, Of which every one hath twins, And none is barren among them.
7 Bagaikan belahan buah delima pelipismu di balik telekungmu.
As a divided pomegranate Are thy cheeks behind thy veil.
8 Permaisuri ada enam puluh, selir delapan puluh, dan dara-dara tak terbilang banyaknya.
Threescore are the queens, and fourscore the concubines, And the maidens without number.
9 Tetapi dialah satu-satunya merpatiku, idam-idamanku, satu-satunya anak ibunya, anak kesayangan bagi yang melahirkannya; puteri-puteri melihatnya dan menyebutnya bahagia, permaisuri-permaisuri dan selir-selir memujinya.
But my dove, my undefiled, is the one; She is the incomparable one of her mother, The darling of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; The queens and concubines, and they praised her.
10 "Siapakah dia yang muncul laksana fajar merekah, indah bagaikan bulan purnama, bercahaya bagaikan surya, dahsyat seperti bala tentara dengan panji-panjinya?"
[[Lov.]] Who is this that looketh forth like the morning, Fair as the moon, bright as the sun, And terrible as an army with banners?
11 Ke kebun kenari aku turun melihat kuntum-kuntum di lembah, melihat apakah pohon anggur berkuncup dan pohon-pohon delima berbunga.
[[M.]] I went down into the garden of nuts, To see the green plants of the valley, To see whether the vine blossomed, And the pomegranates budded.
12 Tak sadar diri aku; kerinduanku menempatkan aku di atas kereta orang bangsawan.
Or ever I was aware, My soul had made me like the chariots of the prince's train.
13 Kembalilah, kembalilah, ya gadis Sulam, kembalilah, kembalilah, supaya kami dapat melihat engkau! Mengapa kamu senang melihat gadis Sulam itu seperti melihat tari-tarian perang?
[[Lad.]] Return, return, O Shulamite! Return, return, that we may look upon thee! [[M.]] Why should ye look upon the Shulamite, As upon a dance of the hosts?
