歌中的雅歌

¹所羅門的歌，是歌中的雅歌。This is Solomon’s Song of Songs.

新娘渴慕王的愛

²願他用口與我親嘴；因你的愛情比酒更美。Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is more delightful than wine.

³你的膏油馨香；你的名如同倒出來的香膏，所以眾童女都愛你。The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens adore you.

⁴願你吸引我，我們就快跑跟隨你。王帶我進了內室，我們必因你歡喜快樂。我們要稱讚你的愛情，勝似稱讚美酒。他們愛你是理所當然的。Take me away with you—let us hurry! May the king bring me to his chambers. We will rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right that they adore you.

我雖然黑，卻是秀美

⁵耶路撒冷的眾女子啊，我雖然黑，卻是秀美，如同基達的帳棚，好像所羅門的幔子。I am dark, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

⁶不要因日頭把我曬黑了就輕看我。我同母的弟兄向我發怒，他們使我看守葡萄園；我自己的葡萄園卻沒有看守。Do not stare because I am dark, for the sun has gazed upon me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have neglected.

你在何處牧羊

⁷我心所愛的啊，求你告訴我，你在何處牧羊？晌午在何處使羊歇臥？我何必在你同伴的羊群旁邊好像蒙著臉的人呢？Tell me, O one I love, where do you pasture your sheep? Where do you rest them at midday? Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your companions?

⁸你這女子中極美麗的，你若不知道，只管跟隨羊群的腳蹤去，把你的山羊羔牧放在牧人帳棚的旁邊。If you do not know, O fairest of women, follow the tracks of the flock, and graze your young goats near the tents of the shepherds.

⁴他帶我入筵宴所，以愛為旗在我以上。He has brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me is love.

⁵求你們給我葡萄乾增補我力，給我蘋果暢快我心，因我思愛成病。Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.

⁶他的左手在我頭下；他的右手將我抱住。His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

⁷耶路撒冷的眾女子啊，我指著羚羊或田野的母鹿囑咐你們：不要驚動、不要叫醒我所親愛的，等他自己情願（不要叫醒……情願：或譯不要激動愛情，等它自發）。O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
