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
Lo, thou [art] fair, my friend, lo, thou [art] fair, Thine eyes [are] doves behind thy veil, Thy hair as a row of the goats That have shone 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 as a row of the shorn ones That have come up from the washing, For all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not 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
As a thread of scarlet [are] thy lips, And thy speech [is] comely, As the work of the pomegranate [is] thy temple 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
As the tower of David [is] thy neck, built for an armoury, The chief of the shields are hung on it, All shields of the mighty.
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] as two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are feeding among 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
Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled away, I will get me unto the mountain of myrrh, And unto 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 friend, And a blemish there is not in thee. Come from Lebanon, O spouse,
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 from Lebanon, come thou in. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Hermon, From the habitations of lions, From the mountains of 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 emboldened me, my sister-spouse, Emboldened me 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 wonderful have been thy loves, my sister-spouse, How much better have been thy loves than wine, And the fragrance of thy perfumes 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 drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk [are] under thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments [Is] as the fragrance 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 shut up [is] my sister-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 a paradise of pomegranates, With precious fruits,
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
Cypresses with nard — nard and saffron, Cane and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, with all 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 fount of gardens, a well of living waters, And flowings 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, O south, Cause my garden to breathe forth, its spices let flow, Let my beloved come to his garden, And eat its pleasant fruits!
