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
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yes, drink abundantly, O beloved.
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 sleep, but my heart wakes: it is the voice of my beloved that knocks, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops 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
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
4 わが愛する者戸の穴より手をさしいれしかば わが心かれのためにうごきたり
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for 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 up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
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I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
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 city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8 ヱルサレムの女子等よ 我なんぢらにかたく請ふ もしわが愛する者にあはば汝ら何とこれにつぐべきや 我愛によりて疾わづらふと告よ
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him, that I am sick of love.
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
What is your beloved more than another beloved, O you fairest among women? what is your beloved more than another beloved, that you do so charge us?
10 わが愛する者は白くかつ紅にして萬人の上に越ゆ
My beloved is white and ruddy, the most chief among 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
His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
12 その目は谷川の水のほとりにをる鴿のごとく 乳にて洗はれて美はしく嵌れり
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
13 その頬は馨しき花の床のごとく 香草の壇のごとし その唇は百合花のごとくにして沒藥の汁をしたたらす
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
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 are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
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 legs are as pillars of marble, set on sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 その口ははなはだ甘く誠に彼には一つだにうつくしからぬ所なし ヱルサレムの女子等よ これぞわが愛する者 これぞわが伴侶なる
His mouth is most sweet: yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
