< 雅歌 5 >

1 わが妹わがはなよめよ 我はわが園にいり わが沒藥と薫物とを採り わが蜜房と蜜とを食ひ わが酒とわが乳とを飮り わが伴侶等よ 請ふ食へ わが愛する人々よ 請ふ飮あけよ

2 われは睡りたれどもわが心は醒ゐたり 時にわが愛する者の聲あり 即はち門をたたきていふ わが妹わが佳耦 わが鴿 わが完きものよ われのために開け わが首には露滿ち わが髮の毛には夜の點滴みてりと
I sleepe, but mine heart waketh, it is the voyce of my welbeloued that knocketh, saying, Open vnto mee, my sister, my loue, my doue, my vndefiled: for mine head is full of dewe, and my lockes with the droppes of the night.
3 われすでにわが衣服を脱り いかでまた着るべき 已にわが足をあらへり いかでまた汚すべき

My welbeloued put in his hand by the hole of the doore, and mine heart was affectioned toward him.
5 やがて起いでてわが愛する者の爲に開かんとせしとき 沒藥わが手より沒藥の汁わが指よりながれて關木の把柄のうへにしたたれり
I rose vp to open to my welbeloued, and mine hands did drop downe myrrhe, and my fingers pure myrrhe vpon the handels of the barre.
6 我わが愛する者の爲に開きしに わが愛する者は已に退き去りぬ さきにその物いひし時はわが心さわぎたり 我かれをたづねたれども遇ず 呼たれども答應なかりき
I opened to my welbeloued: but my welbeloued was gone, and past: mine heart was gone when hee did speake: I sought him, but I coulde not finde him: I called him, but hee answered mee not.
7 邑をまはりありく夜巡者等われを見てうちて傷つけ 石垣をまもる者らはわが上衣をはぎとれり
The watchmen that went about the citie, founde me: they smote me and wounded me: the watchmen of the walles tooke away my vaile from me.

9 なんぢの愛する者は別の人の愛する者に何の勝れるところありや 婦女の中のいと美はしき者よ なんぢが愛する者は別の人の愛する者に何の勝れるところありて斯われらに固く請ふや
O the fairest among women, what is thy welbeloued more then other welbeloued? what is thy welbeloued more then another louer, that thou doest so charge vs?
10 わが愛する者は白くかつ紅にして萬人の上に越ゆ
My welbeloued is white and ruddie, the chiefest of ten thousand.
11 その頭は純金のごとく その髮はふさやかにして黑きこと烏のごとし

14 その手はきばみたる碧玉を嵌し黄金の釧のごとく 其躰は靑玉をもておほひたる象牙の彫刻物のごとし
His hands as rings of gold set with the chrysolite, his belly like white yuorie couered with saphirs.
15 その脛は蝋石の柱を黄金の臺にてたてたるがごとく その相貌はレバノンのごとく その優れたるさまは香柏のごとし
His legges are as pillars of marble, set vpon sockets of fine golde: his countenance as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
