Cantares de Salomâo 6
1 Para onde foi o teu amado, ó mais formosa entre as mulheres? para onde virou a vista o teu amado, e o buscaremos comtigo?
You who are the most beautiful of all the women, where has the one who loves you gone? [If you tell us] which [RHQ] direction he went, we will go with you to search for him.
2 O meu amado desceu ao seu jardim, aos canteiros da especiaria, para se apascentar nos jardins e para colher os lyrios.
The one who loves me has now come [to me, who am like] [MET, EUP] his garden, He has come to [enjoy my (charms/physical attractions) which are like] [MET, EUP] spices, to enjoy cuddling up to me [EUP, MET], and [kissing my lips, which are like] [MET] lilies.
3 Eu sou do meu amado, e o meu amado é meu: elle se apascenta entre os lyrios.
I belong to the one who loves me, and the one who loves me belongs to me; he [enjoys kissing] my lips like [MET] [a shepherd enjoys] taking care of [his sheep].
4 Formosa és, amiga minha, como Tirza, aprazivel como Jerusalem, formidavel como um exercito com bandeiras.
My darling, you are beautiful, like [SIM] Tirzah [the capital city of Israel] and Jerusalem [the capital city of Judah are beautiful]; you are as exciting [MET] as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners.
5 Desvia de mim os teus olhos, porque elles me perturbam. O teu cabello é como o rebanho das cabras que pastam em Gilead.
Quit looking at me like that, because your eyes excite me very much. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats [moving down the slopes] of Gilead [Mountain].
6 Os teus dentes são como o rebanho d'ovelhas que sobem do lavadouro, e todas produzem gemeos, e não ha esteril entre ellas.
Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has just been shorn and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
7 Como um pedaço de romã, assim são as tuas faces entre as tuas tranças.
Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Sessenta são as rainhas, e oitenta as concubinas, e as virgens sem numero.
Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
9 Porém uma é a minha pomba, a minha perfeita, a unica de sua mãe, e a mais querida de aquella que a pariu: vendo-a, as filhas a chamarão bemaventurada, as rainhas e as concubinas a louvarão.
[none of them would be like] my dove, who is perfect, you who are your mother’s only daughter, whom your mother considers to be very precious. [Other] young women who see you say that you are fortunate, and the queens and concubines recognize that you [are very beautiful].
10 Quem é esta que apparece como a alva do dia, formosa como a lua, lustrosa como o sol, formidavel como um exercito com bandeiras?
Who is [RHQ] this woman who is [as delightful] as [SIM] the dawn, as fair/delightful [to look at] as [the light of] the moon, as exciting as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners?
11 Desci ao jardim das nogueiras, para ver os novos fructos do valle, a ver se floresciam as vides e brotavam as romeiras.
I went down to some walnut trees to look at the new plants that were growing in the valley. I wanted to see if the grapevines had budded or if the pomegranate trees were blooming.
12 Antes de eu o sentir, me poz a minha alma nos carros do meu povo voluntario.
[But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
13 Volta, volta, ó Sulamitha, volta, volta, para que nós te vejamos. Porque olhas para a Sulamitha como para as fileiras de dois exercitos?
You who are the perfect one, come back [to us], in order that we may see you! Why do you want to look at this woman who is perfect, like [SIM] you like to watch two rows/lines of people dancing?
