Song of Solomon

Chapter 1

1 THE song of songs, which is Solomon's, the son of David king of Israel.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.

3 Because of the fragrance of your good ointments your name is like ointment of myrrh, therefore do the virgins love you.

4 Draw me after you, let us run; the king has brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in you, we will remember your love more than wine, and your affections more than the upright.

5 I have dark skin, but I am comely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

6 Do not look at me because I have dark skin, because the sun has tanned me; my mother's sons contended with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard I have not kept.

7 Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, where did I feed, where did I make my flock to rest at noon? Lest I become like a sheep which has gone astray from your flocks.

8 If you do not know, O you most beautiful among women, come, follow in the footprints of the flock, and feed your kids beside the shepherds' tents.

9 I have compared you, O my beloved, to a mare in Pharaoh's chariot.

10 Your cheeks are comely with braided hair, and your neck with necklaces.

11 We will make for you golden chains with studs of silver.

12 While you are seated with the king upon his cushion, spikenard sends forth its fragrance.

13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me; he shall lie all night between my breasts.

14 My beloved is to me like a cluster of henna flowers in a vineyard of Engad.

15 Behold, you are beautiful, O my beloved; behold, you are fair; you have dove's eyes.

16 Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yea, pleasant; also our bed is spacious.

17 The beams of our house are of cedar, and our rafters of cypress.

雅歌

第1章

1 所羅門的歌,是歌中的雅歌。

2 願他用口與我親嘴;因你的愛情比酒更美。

3 你的膏油馨香;你的名如同倒出來的香膏,所以眾處女[virgins]都愛你。

4 願你吸引我,我們就快跑跟隨你。王帶我進了內室。
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。我們要想念[remember]你的愛情,勝過想念[remember]美酒。凡正直的都愛你[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。

6 不要因日頭把我曬黑了就看著[Look]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。

7 我心所愛的啊,求你告訴我,你在何處牧羊?正午在何處使羊歇臥?我何必在你同伴的羊群旁邊好像蒙著臉的人呢?

8 你這女子中極美麗的[O],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。

9 我的愛人啊[my love],我將你比法老車上套的駿馬。

10 你的兩腮因珠串[rows of jewels]而秀美;你的頸項因金鏈[chains of gold]而華麗。

11 我們要為你編上金辮,鑲上銀釘。

12 王正坐席的時候,我的哪噠香膏發出香味。

13 我以我的良人為一袋沒藥,他必整夜在我懷中。

14 我以我的良人為一棵指甲花[camphire],在隱.基底葡萄園中。

15 我的愛人[love]看哪[Behold],你甚美麗;看哪[Behold],你甚美麗;你有鴿子的眼[thou hast dove's eyes]

16 我的良人哪,[Behold],你甚美麗可悅[pleasant];我們以青草為[bed]

17 香柏樹為我們[our]房屋的棟梁,松樹為我們的[our]椽子。
