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; thou [hast] doves’ eyes within thy locks: thy hair [is] as a flock of goats, that appear from 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 sheep that are even] shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear 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: thy temples [are] like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
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 builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, 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 young roes that are twins, 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 break, 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; [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: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir 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 smell 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, O [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 inclosed [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 plants [are] an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
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 of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams 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, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
