< 雅歌 2 >

1 われはシャロンの野花 谷の百合なり
I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.
2 女子等の中にわが佳耦のあるは荊棘の中に百合花のあるがごとし
[[Lov.]] As the lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
3 わが愛する者の男子等の中にあるは林の樹の中に林檎のあるがごとし 我ふかく喜びてその蔭にすわれり その實はわが口に甘かりき
[[M.]] As the apple-tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons. In his shadow I love to sit down, And his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4 彼われをたづさへて酒宴の室にいれたまへり その我上にひるがへしたる旗は愛なりき
He hath brought me to his banqueting-house, And his banner over me is love. Strengthen me with raisins,
5 請ふ なんぢら乾葡萄をもてわが力をおぎなへ 林檎をもて我に力をつけよ 我は愛によりて疾わづらふ
Refresh me with apples! For I am sick with love.
6 彼が左の手はわが頭の下にあり その右の手をもて我を抱く
His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraceth me!
7 エルサレムの女子等よ我なんぢらに獐と野の鹿とをさし誓ひて請ふ 愛のおのづから起るときまでは殊更に喚起し且つ醒すなかれ
[[Lov.]] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she please!
8 わが愛する者の聲きこゆ 視よ 山をとび 岡を躍りこえて來る
[[M.]] The voice of my beloved! Behold, he cometh, Leaping upon the mountains, Bounding upon the hills.
9 わが愛する者は獐のごとくまた小鹿のごとし 視よ彼われらの壁のうしろに立ち 窓より覗き 格子より窺ふ
Like a gazelle is my beloved, Or a young hind. Behold, he standeth behind our wall; He is looking through the windows; He glanceth through the lattice.
10 わが愛する者われに語りて言ふ わが佳耦よ わが美しき者よ 起ていできたれ 視よ 冬すでに過ぎ 雨もやみてはやさりぬ
My beloved speaketh, and saith to me, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!
For, lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone;
12 もろもろの花は地にあらはれ 鳥のさへづる時すでに至り 班鳩の聲われらの地にきこゆ
The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 無花果樹はその青き果を赤らめ 葡萄の樹は花さきてその馨しき香氣をはなつ わが佳耦よ わが美しき者よ 起て出きたれ
The fig-tree is spicing its green fruit; The vines in blossom give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away!
14 磐間にをり 斷崖の匿處にをるわが鴿よ われに汝の面を見させよ なんぢの聲をきかしめよ なんぢの聲は愛らしく なんぢの面はうるはし
O my dove, that art in the recesses of the rock, In the hiding-places of the steep craggy mountain, Let me see thy face, Let me hear thy voice! For sweet is thy voice, And thy face lovely.”
15 われらのために狐をとらへよ 彼の葡萄園をそこなふ小狐をとらへよ 我等の葡萄園は花盛なればなり
Take ye for us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines; For our vines are now in blossom.
16 わが愛する者は我につき我はかれにつく 彼は百合花の中にて其群を牧ふ
My beloved is mine, and I am his; He feedeth among the lilies.
17 わが愛する者よ 日の涼しくなるまで 影の消るまで身をかへして出ゆき 荒き山々の上にありて獐のごとく 小鹿のごとくせよ
When the day breathes, and the shadows flee away, Come again, my beloved, like a gazelle, or a young hind, Upon the craggy mountains.
