雅歌 4
1 ああなんぢ美はしきかな わが佳耦よ ああなんぢうるはしきかな なんぢの目は面帕のうしろにありて鴿のごとし なんぢの髮はギレアデ山の腰に臥たる山羊の群に似たり
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are doves behind thy veil; Thy hair is as a flock of goats, On the slopes of mount Gilead.
2 なんぢの齒は毛を剪たる牝羊の浴塲より出たるがごとし おのおの雙子をうみてひとつも子なきものはなし
Thy teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep, Which go up from the washing; Which have all borne twins, And none is barren among them.
3 なんぢの唇は紅色の線維のごとく その口は美はし なんぢの頬は面帕のうしろにありて石榴の半片に似たり
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, And thy speech is comely; As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples Behind thy veil.
4 なんぢの頸項は武器庫にとて建たるダビデの戍樓のごとし その上には一千の盾を懸け列ぬ みな勇士の大楯なり
Thy neck is like the tower of David, Built for an armoury: A thousand bucklers hang thereon, All shields of mighty men.
5 なんぢの兩乳房は牝獐の雙子なる二箇の小鹿が百合花の中に草はみをるに似たり
Thy two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, Which feed among the lilies.
6 日の涼しくなるまで 影の消るまでわれ沒藥の山また乳香の岡に行べし
Until the day dawn, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense.
7 わが佳耦よ なんぢはことごとくうるはしくしてすこしのきずもなし
Thou art all fair, my love; And there is no spot in thee.
8 新婦よ レバノンより我にともなへ レバノンより我とともに來れ アマナの巓セニルまたヘルモンの巓より望み 獅子の穴また豹の山より望め
[Come] with me, from Lebanon, [my] spouse, With me from Lebanon, — Come, look from the top of Amanah, From the top of Senir and Hermon, From the lions' dens, From the mountains of the leopards.
9 わが妹わが新婦よ なんぢはわが心を奪へり なんぢは只一目をもてまた頸玉の一をもてわが心をうばへり
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] spouse; Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.
10 わが妹わが新婦よ なんぢの愛は樂しきかな なんぢの愛は酒よりも遙にすぐれ なんぢの香膏の馨は一切の香物よりもすぐれたり
How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! How much better is thy love than wine! And the fragrance of thine ointments than all spices!
11 新婦よ なんぢの唇は蜜を滴らす なんぢの舌の底には蜜と乳とあり なんぢの衣裳の香氣はレバノンの香氣のごとし
Thy lips, [my] spouse, drop [as] the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under thy tongue; And the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12 わが妹わがはなよめよ なんぢは閉たる園 閉たる水源 封じたる泉水のごとし
A garden enclosed is my sister, [my] spouse; A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13 なんぢの園の中に生いづる者は石榴及びもろもろの佳果またコペル及びナルダの草
Thy shoots are a paradise of pomegranates, with precious fruits; Henna with spikenard plants;
14 ナルダ 番紅花 菖蒲 桂枝さまざまの乳香の木および沒藥 蘆薈一切の貴とき香物なり
Spikenard and saffron; Calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; Myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15 なんぢは園の泉水 活る水の井 レバノンよりいづる流水なり
A fountain in the gardens, A well of living waters, Which stream from Lebanon.
16 北風よ起れ 南風よ來れ 我園を吹てその香氣を揚よ ねがはくはわが愛する者のおのが園にいりきたりてその佳き果を食はんことを
Awake, north wind, and come, [thou] south; Blow upon my garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow forth. Let my beloved come into his garden, And eat its precious fruits.
