1 われはシャロンの野花 谷の百合花なり
[SHE] I am The meadow-saffron of Sharon, The lily of the valleys.
2 女子等の中にわが佳耦のあるは荊棘の中に百合花のあるがごとし
[HE] As a lily among thorns, So, is my fair one, among the daughters!
3 わが愛する者の男子等の中にあるは林の樹の中に林檎のあるがごとし 我ふかく喜びてその蔭にすわれり その實はわが口に甘かりき
[SHE] As an apple-tree among the trees of the forest, So, is my beloved, among the sons: In his shade, I greatly delighted and sat down, And, his fruit, was sweet to my taste.
4 彼われをたづさへて酒宴の室にいれたまへり その我上にひるがへしたる旗は愛なりき
He hath brought me into the house of wine, and, his banner over me, is love.
5 請ふ なんぢら乾葡萄をもてわが力をおぎなへ 林檎をもて我に力をつけよ 我は愛によりて疾わづらふ
Sustain me with raisin-cakes, refresh me with apples, —for sick with love, I am.
6 彼が左の手はわが頭の下にあり その右の手をもて我を抱く
His left hand under my head, then, his right hand, embraceth me!
7 ヱルサレムの女子等よ我なんぢらに獐と野の鹿とをさし誓ひて請ふ 愛のおのづから起るときまでは殊更に喚起し且つ醒すなかれ
[HE] I adjure you, ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or by the hinds of the field, —That ye wake not, nor arouse, the dear love until she please!
8 わが愛する者の聲きこゆ 視よ 山をとび 岡を躍りこえて來る
[SHE] The voice of my beloved! Lo! here he cometh, —leaping over the mountains, skipping over the hills.
9 わが愛する者は獐のごとくまた小鹿のごとし 視よ彼われらの壁のうしろに立ち 窓より覗き 格子より窺ふ
Resembleth, my beloved, a gazelle, or a young stag, —Lo! here he is, standing behind our wall, looking in at the windows, peeping in at the lattice.
10 わが愛する者われに語りて言ふ わが佳耦よ わが美はしき者よ 起ていできたれ
Responded my beloved, and said to me, —Rise up! my fair—my beautiful—one, and come away,
11 視よ 冬すでに過ぎ 雨もやみてはやさりぬ
For lo, the winter, is past, —the rain, is over, [and] gone;
12 もろもろの花は地にあらはれ 鳥のさへづる時すでに至り 班鳩の聲われらの地にきこゆ
The flowers, have appeared in the earth, the time of the spring-song, hath come, —and, the voice of the turtle, is heard in our land;
13 無花果樹はその靑き果を赤らめ 葡萄の樹は花さきてその馨はしき香氣をはなつ わが佳耦よ わが美しき者よ 起て出きたれ
The fig-tree, hath spiced her green figs, and, the vines—all blossom, yield fragrance, —Rise up! my fair—my beautiful—one, and come away!
14 磐間にをり 斷崖の匿處にをるわが鴿よ われに汝の面を見させよ なんぢの聲をきかしめよ なんぢの聲は愛らしく なんぢの面はうるはし
[HE] O my dove! In the retreats of the crag, in the hiding-place of the terrace, Let me see thy form, Let me hear thy voice, —For, thy voice, is sweet, and, thy form, comely.
15 われらのために狐をとらへよ 彼の葡萄園をそこなふ小狐をとらへよ 我等の葡萄園は花盛なればなり
[BOTH] Take ye for us, the foxes, the little foxes that are spoiling the vines, —and, our vines, are all blossom!
16 わが愛する者は我につき我はかれにつく 彼は百合花の中にてその群を牧ふ
[SHE] My beloved, is, mine, and, I, am, his, he that pastureth among lilies!
17 わが愛する者よ 日の涼しくなるまで 影の消るまで身をかへして出ゆき 荒き山々の上にありて獐のごとく 小鹿のごとくせよ
Until the day, breathe, and the shadows, be lengthened, Again, liken thyself, my beloved, to a gazelle, or to a young stag, upon the cleft mountains.
