雅歌 1

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

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.

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.

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.

⁹我的佳偶，我將你比法老車上套的駿馬。I compare you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.

¹⁰你的兩腮因髮辮而秀美；你的頸項因珠串而華麗。Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.

¹¹我們要為你編上金辮，鑲上銀釘。We will make you ornaments of gold, studded with beads of silver.

¹²王正坐席的時候，我的哪噠香膏發出香味。While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.

¹³我以我的良人為一袋沒藥，常在我懷中。My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.

¹⁴我以我的良人為一棵鳳仙花，在隱‧基底葡萄園中。My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi.

¹⁵我的佳偶，你甚美麗！你甚美麗！你的眼好像鴿子眼。How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how very beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.

¹⁶我的良人哪，你甚美麗可愛！我們以青草為床榻，How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how delightful! The soft grass is our bed.

¹⁷以香柏樹為房屋的棟樑，以松樹為椽子。The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are fragrant firs.
