Cantares de Salomâo 5
1 [Ele]: Já cheguei ao meu jardim, minha irmã, [minha] esposa; colhi minha mirra com minha especiaria; comi meu mel, bebi meu vinho com meu leite. [Autor do poema (ou os amigos dos noivos)]: Comei, amigos; bebei, ó amados, e embebedai-vos.
My bride, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, I have come [to cuddle up to you] [MET, EUP]; [it will be as though] I will be gathering myrrh with my other spices, and eating my honey and my honeycomb, and drinking my wine and my milk. You two who love each other, enjoy your lovemaking; enjoy all that you want to.
2 [Ela]: Eu estava dormindo, mas meu coração vigiava; era a voz de meu amado, batendo: Abre-me, minha irmã, minha querida, minha pomba, minha perfeita! Porque minha cabeça está cheia de orvalho, meus cabelos das gotas da noite.
I was partially asleep, but my mind was [still] awake. Then I heard the one who loves me knocking [at the door]. [He said], “My darling, [you who are dearer to me than] my sister, my dear friend, my perfect one, my dove [MET], open the door for me! My hair is wet from the dew, from the mist [that has fallen during] the night.”
3 Já tirei minha roupa; como [voltarei] a vesti-la? Já lavei meus pés; como vou sujá-los [de novo]?
[But] I had already taken off my robe; I did not [RHQ] want to put it on again [to open the door]. I had [already] washed my feet; I did not [RHQ] want them to become dirty again.
4 Meu amado meteu sua mão pelo buraco [da porta], e meu interior se estremeceu por ele.
The one who loves me put his hand through the opening [in the wall], and I was thrilled [that he was there].
5 Eu me levantei para abrir a meu amado; minhas mãos gotejavam mirra, e meus dedos [derramaram] mirra sobre os puxadores da fechadura.
I got up to open [the door] for the one who loves me, [but first I put a lot of] myrrh on my hands. The myrrh was dripping from my fingers while I unlatched the bolt.
6 Eu abri a porta ao meu amado, porém meu amado já tinha saído e ido embora; minha alma como que saía [de si] por causa de seu falar. Eu o busquei, mas não o achei; eu o chamei, mas ele não me respondeu.
I opened [the door] for the man who loves me, but he had left. He had turned away and was gone! I was very disappointed [IDM]; I searched for him, but I could not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.
7 Os guardas que rondavam pela cidade me encontraram; eles me bateram [e] me feriram; os guardas dos muros tiraram de mim o meu véu.
The city watchmen saw me while they were walking around the city. They beat me and wounded me [because they thought I must be a prostitute]; those men who were guarding the city walls took my robe.
8 Eu vos ordeno, filhas de Jerusalém: jurai que, se achardes o meu amado, dizei a ele que estou doente de amor.
You young women of Jerusalem, I plead with you, if you see the man who loves me, tell him [DOU] that I am very disappointed that we did not make love.
9 [Moças]: Ó, tu, mais bela entre as mulheres, como é o teu amado, a quem tu amas mais do que qualquer outro? Como é este teu amado, mais amado que qualquer outro, por quem assim nos mandas jurar?
You who are the (fairest/most beautiful) among women, why [do you think that] the one who loves you is better than other men? In what way is the man who loves you better than other men with the result that you ask us to tell him that?
10 [Ela]: Meu amado é radiante e rosado; ele se destaca entre dez mil.
The man who loves me is handsome and healthy, (outstanding among/better than) (10,000/an uncountable number of) [other men].
11 Sua cabeça é [como] o mais fino ouro; seus cabelos são crespos, pretos como o corvo.
His head is [beautiful, like] [MET] purest gold; his hair is wavy and as black as [SIM] a raven/crow.
12 Seus olhos são como pombas junto às correntes de águas, lavados em leite, colocados como [joias].
His eyes [are as gentle] as [SIM] doves along the streams; [the white parts of] his eyes are as white as [MET] milk, [with what resembles] jewels inlaid in them.
13 As laterais de seu rosto como um canteiro de especiarias, [como] caixas aromáticas; seus lábios são [como] lírios, que gotejam fragrante mirra.
His cheeks are like [SIM] a garden full of spice trees that produce [sweet-smelling] perfume. His lips are [like] [SIM] lilies that have myrrh/perfume dripping from them.
14 Suas mãos são [como] anéis de ouro com pedras de crisólitos; seu abdome [como] o brilhante marfim, coberto de safiras.
His arms are like [MET] gold bars/rods that are decorated with precious stones/jewels. His body is like [SIM] [a column/pillar of] ivory that is decorated with (sapphires/valuable [blue] stones).
15 Suas pernas são [como] colunas de mármore, fundadas sobre bases de ouro puro; seu aspecto é como o Líbano, precioso como os cedros.
His legs are [like] [MET] pillars of marble that are set in bases made of pure gold. He is [majestic, like the mountains of] [SIM] Lebanon, as delightful/beautiful as [SIM] cedar [trees].
16 Sua boca é [cheia] de doçura, e ele é desejável em todos os sentidos; assim é o meu amado; assim é o meu querido, ó filhas de Jerusalém.
His kisses [MTY] are extremely sweet; he is very handsome. You young women of Jerusalem, all that tells you why the one who loves me and who is my friend [is better than other men].
