Augstā Dziesma 2
1 Es esmu roze Šaronā un lilija ielejā.
I am [like] [MET] a flower/rose from the Sharon [Plain], and [like] [MET] a lily [that grows] in a valley.
2 Tā kā lilija starp ērkšķiem, tāda ir mana draudzene starp tām meitām.
Among the [other] young women, the one whom I love is like [MET] a lily [growing] among thorns!
3 Tā kā ābele starp meža kokiem, tāds ir mans draugs starp tiem dēliem. Es ilgojos sēdēt viņa pavēnī, un viņa auglis manai mutei salds.
And among [the other] men, you, the man who loves me, are like [MET] an apple/fruit tree [that grows] in the forest. [You are like a tree whose] shadow [protects me from the sun], and your [being close to me] [EUP] is like [MET] eating sweet fruit.
4 Viņš mani ved vīna namā, un mīlestība ir viņa karogs pār mani.
You led me to the (banquet room/room where we could make love), and it is evident that you love me very much.
5 Atspirdzinājiet mani ar vīna ogām un spēcinājiet mani ar āboliem; jo es nīkstu no mīlestības.
Refresh me and strengthen me [with your lovemaking] [like I am refreshed by eating] [MET, EUP] raisins and other fruit, because I very much desire that you love me even more.
6 Viņa kreisā roka ir apakš manas galvas, un viņa labā roka mani apkampj.
Put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
7 Es jūs mīļi lūdzu, jūs Jeruzālemes meitas, pie tām stirnām un kalnu kazām laukā, neuztraucat un nemodinājat mīlestību, kamēr tai pašai patīk.
You young women of Jerusalem, solemnly promise me, while the does and gazelles [are listening], that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.
8 Šī ir mana drauga balss; redzi, viņš nāk un lēkā pa tiem kalniem un deij pa tiem pakalniem.
I hear the voice of the man who loves me. [It is as though] [MET] he is leaping over the mountains and skipping over the hills
9 Mans draugs ir līdzīgs stirnai vai jaunam briedim. Redzi, viņš stāv aiz sienas, skatās caur logiem un raugās caur skadriņiem.
like [SIM] a deer or a gazelle. Now he is standing outside the wall of our house, looking in the window, and peering through the (lattice/wooden strips inside the window frame).
10 Mans draugs atbild un saka uz mani: celies, mana draudzene, mana skaistā, un nāc!
He spoke to me and said, “You whom I love, get up; my beautiful one, come with me [CHI]!
11 Jo redzi, ziema ir pagājusi, stiprais lietus jau ir pārgājis un nost.
Look, the (winter/cold season) is ended; the rain has stopped;
12 Puķes rādās laukā, dziesmu laiks atnācis, un ūbeles balss dzirdama mūsu zemē.
flowers are blooming throughout the country/land. It is now time to sing; we hear the doves cooing.
13 Vīģes koks dabūjis pumpurus, un vīna koki plaukst un dod smaržu; celies, nāc, mana draudzene, mana skaistā, nāc šurp!
There are young/new figs on the fig trees, and there are blossoms on the grapevines and their fragrance fills the air. You whom I love, get up; my beautiful one, come with me!
14 Mans balodis akmeņu kalnos, apslēptos plaisumos, parādi man savu vaigu, dod man savu balsi dzirdēt; jo tava balss ir salda, un tavs vaigs ir mīlīgs.
[You are like] [MET] a dove that is hiding [far from me] in an opening/crack in the rocky cliff. Show me your face, and allow me to hear your voice, because your voice is sweet-sounding and your face is lovely [CHI].”
15 Gūstat mums lapsas, tās mazās lapsas, kas vīna dārzus maitā, jo mūsu vīna dārzi stāv ziedos.
[There are other men who are like] [MET] little jackals/foxes that ruin vineyards; do not allow [those men to attack me].
16 Mans draugs ir mans, es esmu viņa, kas pa tām lilijām gana.
You who love me, I belong to you and you belong to me, and you [experience pleasure when you kiss] my lips [like] [MET] a shepherd enjoys taking care of his sheep.
17 Kamēr diena metās dzestra un ēnas bēg, atgriezies, mans draugs, kā stirna, vai kā jauns briedis pa kalnu plaisumiem.
You who love me, come and be like [SIM] a gazelle or like a young deer on the hills of Bether, and then flee like a deer at dawn [tomorrow morning], when the darkness fades.
