雅歌 第 8 章

¹巴不得你像我的兄弟，像吃我母亲奶的兄弟；我在外头遇见你就与你亲嘴，谁也不轻看我。O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.

²我必引导你，领你进我母亲的家；我可以领受教训，也就使你喝石榴汁酿的香酒。I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother’s house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.

³他的左手必在我头下；他的右手必将我抱住。His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

⁴耶路撒冷的众女子啊，我嘱咐你们：不要惊动、不要叫醒我所亲爱的，等他自己情愿（不要叫醒……情愿：或译不要激动爱情，等他自发）。I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.

⁵那靠着良人从旷野上来是谁呢？（新娘）我在苹果树下叫醒你。你母亲在的那里为你劬劳；生养你的在那里为你劬劳。Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

⁶求你将我放在你心上如印记，带在你臂上如戳记。因为爱情如死之坚强，嫉恨如阴间之残忍；所发的电光是火焰的电光，是耶和华的烈焰。Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

⁷爱情，众水不能息灭，大水也不能淹没。若有人拿家中所有的财宝要换爱情，就全被藐视。（新娘的兄弟）Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

⁸我们有一小妹；他的两乳尚未长成，人来提亲的日子，我们当为他怎样办理？We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

⁹他若是墙，我们要在其上建造银塔；他若是门，我们要用香柏木板围护他。（新娘）If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.

¹⁰我是墙；我两乳像其上的楼。那时，我在他眼中像得平安的人。（新郎）I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.

¹¹所罗门在巴力哈们有一葡萄园；他将这葡萄园交给看守的人，为其中的果子必交一千舍客勒银子。Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

¹²我自己的葡萄园在我面前。所罗门哪，一千舍客勒归你，二百舍客勒归看守果子的人。My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.

¹³你这住在园中的，同伴都要听你的声音，求你使我也得听见。（新娘）Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.

¹⁴我的良人哪，求你快来！如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上。Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
