< 雅歌 7 >

1 君の女よ なんぢの足は鞋の中にありて如何に美はしきかな 汝の腿はまろらかにして玉のごとく 巧匠の手にて作りたるがごとし
How beautiful are your feet with shoes, O prince’s daughter! the joints of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2 なんぢの臍は美酒の缺ることあらざる圓き杯盤のごとく なんぢの腹は積かさねたる麥のまはりを百合花もてかこめるが如し
Your navel is like a round goblet, which wants not liquor: your belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3 なんぢの兩乳房は牝鹿の雙子なる二の小鹿のごとし
Your two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4 なんぢの頸は象牙の戍樓の如く 汝の目はヘシボンにてバテラビムの門のほとりにある池のごとく なんぢの鼻はダマスコに對へるレバノンの戍樓のごとし
Your neck is as a tower of ivory; your eyes like the fish pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: your nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.
5 なんぢの頭はカルメルのごとく なんぢの頭の髪は紫花のごとし 王その垂たる髪につながれたり
Your head on you is like Carmel, and the hair of your head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
6 ああ愛よ もろもろの快樂の中にありてなんぢは如何に美はしく如何に悦ばしき者なるかな
How fair and how pleasant are you, O love, for delights!
7 なんぢの身の長は棕櫚の樹に等しく なんぢの乳房は葡萄のふさのごとし
This your stature is like to a palm tree, and your breasts to clusters of grapes.
8 われ謂ふこの棕櫚の樹にのぼり その枝に執つかんと なんぢの乳房は葡萄のふさのごとく なんぢの鼻の氣息は林檎のごとく匂はん
I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also your breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of your nose like apples;
9 なんぢの口は美酒のごとし わが愛する者のために滑かに流れくだり 睡れる者の口をして動かしむ
And the roof of your mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goes down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
10 われはわが愛する者につき 彼はわれを戀したふ わが愛する者よ われら田舍にくだり 村里に宿らん
I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.
Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12 われら夙におきて葡萄や芽しし莟やいでし石榴の花やさきしいざ葡萄園にゆきて見ん かしこにて我わが愛をなんぢにあたへん
Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give you my loves.
13 戀茄かぐはしき香氣を發ち もろもろの佳き果物古き新らしき共にわが戸の上にあり わが愛する者よ我これをなんぢのためにたくはへたり
The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
