< 雅歌 6 >
1 婦女のいと美はしきものよ 汝の愛する者は何處へゆきしや なんぢの愛する者はいづこへおもむきしや われら汝とともにたづねん
O the fairest among women, whither is thy welbeloued gone? whither is thy welbeloued turned aside, that we may seeke him with thee?
2 わが愛するものは己の園にくだり 香しき花の床にゆき 園の中にて群を牧ひ また百合花を採る
My welbeloued is gone downe into his garden to the beds of spices, to feede in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
3 我はわが愛する者につき わが愛する者はわれにつく 彼は百合花の中にてその群を牧ふ
I am my welbeloueds, and my welbeloued is mine, who feedeth among the lilies.
4 わが佳耦よ なんぢは美はしきことテルザのごとく 華やかなることヱルサレムのごとく 畏るべきこと旗をあげたる軍旅のごとし
Thou art beautifull, my loue, as Tirzah, comely as Ierusale, terrible as an army with baners.
5 なんぢの目は我をおそれしむ 請ふ我よりはなれしめよ 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
Turne away thine eyes from me: for they ouercome mee: thine heare is like a flocke of goates, which looke downe from Gilead.
6 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 flocke of sheepe, which goe vp from the washing, which euery one bring out twinnes, and none is barren among them.
7 なんぢの頬は面帕の後にありて石榴の半片に似たり
Thy temples are within thy lockes as a piece of a pomegranate.
There are threescore Queenes and fourescore concubines and of the damsels without nober.
9 わが鴿わが完き者はただ一人のみ 彼はその母の獨子にして產たる者の喜ぶところの者なり 女子等は彼を見て幸福なる者ととなへ 后等妃嬪等は彼を見て讃む
But my doue is alone, and my vndefiled, she is the onely daughter of her mother, and shee is deare to her that bare her: the daughters haue seene her and counted her blessed: euen the Queenes and the concubines, and they haue praised her.
10 この晨光のごとくに見えわたり 月のごとくに美はしく 日のごとくに輝やき 畏るべきこと旗をあげたる軍旅のごとき者は誰ぞや
Who is shee that looketh foorth as the morning, fayre as the moone, pure as the sunne, terrible as an armie with banners!
11 われ胡桃の園にくだりゆき 谷の靑き草木を見 葡萄や芽しし石榴の花や咲しと見回しをりしに
I went downe to the garden of nuttes, to see the fruites of the valley, to see if the vine budded, and if the pomegranates flourished.
12 意はず知ず我が心われをしてわが貴とき民の車の中間にあらしむ
I knewe nothing, my soule set me as the charets of my noble people.
13 歸れ歸れシユラミの婦よ 歸れ歸れ われら汝を觀んことをねがふ なんぢら何とてマハナイムの跳舞を觀るごとくにシユラミの婦を觀んとねがふや
Returne, returne, O Shulamite, returne: returne that we may behold thee. What shall you see in the Shulamite, but as the company of an armie?
