Cantares de Salomâo 8
1 Ah! quem me dera que me fôras como irmão, e mamáras os peitos de minha mãe! que te achara na rua, e te beijára, e nem me desprezariam!
I wish that you were my brother who (nursed at/drank milk from) my mother’s breasts [when you were a baby], [because, if you were my brother], if I saw you when you were outside [the house], I could kiss you, and no one would say that my doing that was wrong.
2 Te levaria e introduziria na casa de minha mãe, e tu me ensinarias; e te daria a beber vinho aromatico e do mosto das minhas romãs.
[No one would object if] I led you to my mother’s house, to where my mother, who taught me [many things], lives. I would like to take you to my mother’s house because I would [like to make love to you] [EUP], [and that would be as delightful as] [MET] juice [squeezed] from pomegranates.
3 A sua mão esquerda esteja debaixo da minha cabeça, e a sua direita me abrace.
You would put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.
4 Conjuro-vos, ó filhas de Jerusalem, que não acordeis nem desperteis o meu amor, até que queira.
[I would say to] you women of Jerusalem, “Solemnly promise me that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.”
5 Quem é esta que sobe do deserto, e vem encostada tão aprazivelmente ao seu amado? Debaixo d'uma macieira te despertei, ali te produziu tua mãe com dores; ali te produziu com dores aquella que te pariu.
Who is that [woman] who is coming up from the desert, (leaning on/clinging close to) the man who loves her? I woke you up [when you were] under the apple tree at the place where your mother conceived you, which is the same place where she gave birth to you.
6 Põe-me como sello sobre o teu coração, como sello sobre o teu braço, porque o amor é forte como a morte, e duro como a sepultura o ciume: as suas brazas são brazas de fogo, labaredas do Senhor. (Sheol h7585)
Keep me [close to you], like [SIM] a seal on your heart, [or] like [SIM] a bracelet on your arm. Our love [for each other] is as powerful as death, it is as enduring as the grave. [It is as though] our love [for each other] bursts into flames and burns like a hot fire. (Sheol h7585)
7 As muitas aguas não poderiam apagar este amor, nem os rios afogal-o: ainda que desse alguem toda a fazenda de sua casa por este amor, certamente a desprezariam.
Nothing can extinguish our love [for each other], not [even] a flood. If a man tried to cause a woman to love him by saying he would give her everything that is in his house, she would refuse.
8 Temos uma irmã pequena, que ainda não tem peitos: que faremos a esta nossa irmã, no dia em que d'ella se fallar?
We have a younger sister, and her breasts are still small. So this is [RHQ] what we should do for her on the day that we promise [some young man] that he can marry her:
9 Se ella fôr um muro, edificaremos sobre ella um palacio de prata; e, se ella fôr uma porta, a cercaremos com taboas de cedro.
If [her chest is flat like] [MET] a wall, we will [decorate it by] putting silver [jewels that are like] [MET] towers on it. Or, if she is [flat like] [MET] a door, we will decorate her with bits/pieces of cedar wood.
10 Eu sou um muro, e os meus peitos são como umas torres: então eu era aos seus olhos como aquella que acha paz.
My [chest was previously flat like] [MET] a wall, [but now] my breasts are [big] like [SIM] towers. So the one who loves me is delighted with me.
11 Teve Salomão uma vinha em Baal-hamon; entregou esta vinha a uns guardas; e cada um lhe trazia pelo seu fructo mil peças de prata.
[King] Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon, and he rented it to people for them to take care of it. He required each one to pay him 1,000 pieces of silver [each year] for the grapes [that they harvested].
12 A minha vinha que tenho está diante de mim: as mil peças de prata são para ti, ó Salomão, e duzentas para os guardas do seu fructo.
[But my body is like] [MET] my own vineyard, and Solomon, I am giving it to you. [You do not need to pay me] 1,000 pieces of silver [to enjoy my body], but I will give 200 pieces of silver to those who take care of me [MET].
13 Ó tu, a que habitas nos jardins, para a tua voz os companheiros attentam; faze-m'a pois tambem ouvir.
You are staying in the gardens and my friends are listening to your voice; [so] allow me to hear it, [too.]
14 Vem depressa, amado meu, e faze-te similhante ao corço ou ao filho dos veados sobre os montes dos aromas.
You who love me, come [to me] quickly; [run to me] [MET, EUP] as fast as [SIM] a gazelle or young deer runs across [MET] hills of spices.
