Song of Solomon

我是沙崙的玫瑰花（或譯：水仙花），是谷中的百合花。（新郎）

I {am} the rose of Sharon, {and} the lily of the valleys.

我的佳偶在女子中，好像百合花在荊棘內。（新娘）

As the lily among thorns, so {is} my love among the daughters.

我的良人在男子中，如同蘋果樹在樹林中。我歡歡喜喜坐在他的蔭下，嘗他果子的滋味，覺得甘甜。

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so {is} my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit {was} sweet to my taste. {I sat...: Heb. I delighted and sat down, etc} {taste: Heb. palate}

他帶我入筵宴所，以愛為旗在我以上。

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me {was} love. {banqueting...: Heb. house of wine}

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。

Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I {am} sick of love. {comfort...: Heb. straw me with apples}

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 hand doth embrace me.

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，等他自發）。

I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake {my} love, till he please. {I charge...: Heb. I adjure you}

聽啊！是我良人的聲音；看哪！他躥山越嶺而來。

The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

我的良人好像羚羊，或像小鹿。他站在我們牆壁後，從窗戶往裡觀看，從窗櫺往裡窺探。

My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. {shewing...: Heb. flourishing}

我良人對我說：（新郎）我的佳偶，我的美人，起來，與我同去！

My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

因為冬天已往，雨水止住過去了。

For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over {and} gone;

地上百花開放，百鳥鳴叫的時候（或譯：修理葡萄樹的時候）已經來到；斑鳩的聲音在我們境內也聽見了。

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing {of birds} is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

無花果樹的果子漸漸成熟；葡萄樹開花放香。我的佳偶，我的美人，起來，與我同去！

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines {with} the tender grape give a {good} smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

我的鴿子啊，你在磐石穴中，在陡巖的隱密處。求你容我得見你的面貌，得聽你的聲音；因為你的聲音柔和，你的面貌秀美。

O my dove, {that art} in the clefts of the rock, in the secret {places} of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet {is} thy voice, and thy countenance {is} comely.

要給我們擒拿狐狸，就是毀壞葡萄園的小狐狸，因為我們的葡萄正在開花。（新娘）

Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines {have} tender grapes.

良人屬我，我也屬他；他在百合花中牧放群羊。

My beloved {is} mine, and I {am} his: he feedeth among the lilies.

我的良人哪，求你等到天起涼風、日影飛去的時候，你要轉回，好像羚羊，或像小鹿在比特山上。

Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. {of Bether: or, of division}
