Ezgiler Ezgisi 6
1 Nereye gitti sevgilin, Ey güzeller güzeli, Ne yana yöneldi? Biz de onu arayalım seninle birlikte!
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 Bahçesine indi sevgilim, Güzel kokulu tarhlara, Bahçede gezinmek, zambak toplamak için.
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 Ben sevgilime aitim, sevgilim de bana, Gezinip duruyor zambaklar arasında.
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 Sevgilim, Tirsa kadar güzelsin, Yeruşalim kadar şirin, Sancak açmış bir ordu kadar görkemli.
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 Çevir gözlerini benden, Çünkü şaşırtıyorlar beni. Gilat Dağı'nın yamaçlarından inen Keçi sürüsünü andırıyor siyah saçların.
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 Yeni yıkanmış, sudan çıkmış dişi koyun sürüsü gibi dişlerin, Hepsinin ikizi var; Yavrusunu yitiren yok aralarında.
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 Peçenin ardındaki yanakların Nar parçası sanki.
Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Altmış kraliçe, Seksen cariye, Sayısız bakire kız olabilir;
Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
9 Ama bir tanedir benim eşsiz güvercinim, Biricik kızıdır annesinin, Gözbebeği kendisini doğuranın. Kızlar sevgilimi görünce, “Ne mutlu ona!” dediler. Kraliçeler, cariyeler onu övdüler.
[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 Kimdir bu kadın? Şafak gibi beliren, Ay kadar güzel, Güneş kadar parlak, Sancak açmış bir ordu kadar görkemli.
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 Ceviz bahçesine indim, Yeşermiş vadiyi göreyim diye; Asma tomurcuk verdi mi, Narlar çiçek açtı mı bakayım diye.
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 Nasıl oldu farkına varmadan, Tutkum bindirdi beni soylu halkımın savaş arabalarına.
[But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
13 Dön, geri dön, ey Şulamlı kız, Dön, geri dön de seni seyredelim. Niçin Şulamlı kızı seyretmek istiyorsunuz, Mahanayim oyununu seyredercesine?
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?
