雅歌 第 1 章

¹所羅門的歌，是歌中的雅歌。（新娘）The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.

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 thy love is better 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。Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.

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。Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

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 black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as 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。Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

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？（新郎）Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy 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 thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.

⁹我的佳偶，我將你比法老車上套的駿馬。I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.

¹⁰你的兩腮因髮辮而秀美；你的頸項因珠串而華麗。Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.

¹¹我們要為你編上金辮，鑲上銀釘。（新娘）We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.

¹²王正坐席的時候，我的哪噠香膏發出香味。While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.

¹³我以我的良人為一袋沒藥，常在我懷中。A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.

¹⁴我以我的良人為一棵鳳仙花，在隱基底葡萄園中。（新郎）My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire 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。（新娘）Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.

¹⁶我的良人哪，你甚美麗可愛！我們以青草為床榻，Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.

¹⁷以香柏樹為房屋的棟梁，以松樹為椽子。The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
