雅歌 2
1 われはシャロンの野花 谷の百合花なり
I am a rose of Sharon, a 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
As a lily amongst thorns, so is my love amongst 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
As the apple tree amongst the trees of the wood, so is my beloved amongst the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, 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 brought me to the banquet hall. 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
Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love.
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 is under my head. His right hand embraces 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
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
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
The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on 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
My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through 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
My beloved spoke, and said to me, “Rise up, my love, 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 behold, 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 appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove 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 ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom. They give out their fragrance. Arise, my love, 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
My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountainside, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.
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
Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that plunder the vineyards; for our vineyards are in 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
My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses amongst the 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 is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.
