Ezgiler Ezgisi 5
1 Bahçeme girdim, kızkardeşim, yavuklum, Mürümü topladım baharatımla, Gümecimi, balımı yedim, Şarabımı, sütümü içtim. Yiyin, için, ey dostlar! Mest olun aşktan, ey sevgililer!
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 Ben uyuyordum ama yüreğim uyanıktı. Dinleyin! Sevgilim kapıyı vuruyor. “Aç bana, kızkardeşim, aşkım, eşsiz güvercinim! Sırılsıklam oldu başım çiyden, Kaküllerim gecenin neminden.”
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 Entarimi çıkardım, Yine giyinmeli miyim? Ayaklarımı yıkadım, Yine kirletmeli miyim?
[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 Kapı deliğinden uzattı elini sevgilim, Aşk duygularım kabardı onun için.
The one who loves me put his hand through the opening [in the wall], and I was thrilled [that he was there].
5 Kalktım, sevgilime kapıyı açayım diye, Mür elimden damladı, Parmaklarımdan aktı Sürgü tokmakları üzerine.
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 Kapıyı açtım sevgilime, Ama sevgilim yoktu, gitmişti! Kendimden geçmişim o konuşurken. Aradım onu, ama bulamadım, Seslendim, ama yanıt vermedi.
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 Kenti dolaşan bekçiler buldu beni, Dövüp yaraladılar. Sur bekçileri alıp götürdü şalımı.
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 Size ant içiriyorum, ey Yeruşalim kızları! Eğer sevgilimi bulursanız, Söyleyin ona, aşk hastasıyım ben.
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 Farkı ne sevgilinin öbürlerinden, Ey güzeller güzeli? Farkı ne ki, bize böyle ant içiriyorsun?
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 Sevgilimin teni pembe-beyaz, ışıl ışıl yanıyor! Göze çarpıyor on binler arasında.
The man who loves me is handsome and healthy, (outstanding among/better than) (10,000/an uncountable number of) [other men].
11 Başı saf altın, Kakülleri kıvır kıvır, kuzgun gibi siyah.
His head is [beautiful, like] [MET] purest gold; his hair is wavy and as black as [SIM] a raven/crow.
12 Akarsu kıyısındaki Güvercinler gibi gözleri; Sütle yıkanmış, Yuvasındaki mücevher sanki.
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.
