Cantares de Salomâo 6
1 [Moças]: Para onde foi o teu amado, ó tu mais bela entre as mulheres? Para que direção se virou o teu amado, para o procurarmos contigo?
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 [Ela]: Meu amado desceu ao seu jardim, aos canteiros de especiarias, para apascentar [seu rebanho] nos jardins, e para colher lírios.
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 meu amado é meu; ele apascenta entre os lírios.
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 [Ele]: Tu és bela, minha querida, como Tirza, agradável como Jerusalém; és formidável como bandeiras [de exércitos].
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 Afasta teus olhos de mim, pois eles me deixam desconcertado. Teu cabelo é como um rebanho de cabras, que descem de Gileade.
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 Teus dentes são como um rebanho de ovelhas, que sobem do lavatório; todas produzem gêmeos, e não há estéril entre elas.
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 laterais de teu rosto abaixo de teu véu.
Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Sessenta são as rainhas, e oitenta as concubinas; e as donzelas são inúmeras;
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, minha perfeita, a única de sua mãe, a mais querida daquela que a gerou. As moças a viram, e a chamaram de bem-aventurada; as rainhas e as concubinas a elogiaram.
[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 aparece como o nascer do dia, bela como a lua, brilhante como o sol, formidável como bandeiras [de exércitos]?
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 frutos do vale; para ver se as videiras estavam floridas, [e se] as romãzeiras brotavam.
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 Sem eu perceber, minha alma me pôs nas carruagens de meu nobre povo.
[But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
13 [Moças]: Volta! Volta, Sulamita! Volta! Volta, e nós te veremos! [Ele]: Por que [quereis] ver a Sulamita, como a dança de duas companhias?
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?
