雅歌 4
Japanese Living Bible
4 1 愛する人よ。あなたはなんと美しいのだろう。
私は全く心を奪われてしまっている。
その鳩のような目がきれいだ。
あなたの顔にかかる髪は、
ギルアデの山腹を跳ね回るやぎの群れのようだ。
2 あなたの歯は、
毛を刈って体を洗ってもらったばかりの
羊の群れのように真っ白で、きれいな歯ならびだ。
3 くちびるは赤い糸のようで、
かわいらしい口もとが魅力的だ。
巻き毛のかかる頬は愛らしく、ふくよかだ。
4 首は、千人の英雄の盾で飾られた
ダビデのやぐらのようにしっかりしている。
5 二つの乳房は、ゆりの間で草を食べている
ふたごの子鹿のようだ。
6 夜が明け、影が消えるまでに、
私は没薬の山、香料の丘に行っていよう。
7 愛する人よ。あなたのすべてが美しい。
あなたには何の汚れもない。
8 花嫁よ、私といっしょにレバノンから来なさい。
山の頂上から、ヘルモン山の頂から見下ろしてみよう。
そこにはライオンのほら穴があり、
ひょうがうろついている。
9 美しい花嫁よ。あなたは私をとりこにしてしまった。
あなたのただ一度のまなざしと、
首飾りのただ一つの宝石で、
私はすっかり心を奪われてしまった。
10 いとしい花嫁よ。あなたの愛はなんと甘いことか。
ぶどう酒も比べものにならない。
あなたの愛の香水は、
最高の香料よりかぐわしい香りを放っている。
11 いとしい人よ。
あなたのくちびるは、はちみつでできている。
舌の裏にはみつとクリームがある。
あなたの服は山やレバノン杉の香りがする。
12 私のいとしい花嫁は、ほかの人の入れない庭園、
私だけの泉だ。
13-14 あなたはまるで最高の実の取れる、
すばらしい果樹園のようだ。
そこでは、ナルド、サフラン、しょうぶ、
シナモン、没薬、アロエをはじめ、
さまざまな最上の香料が取れる。
15 あなたは庭園の泉、湧き水の井戸で、
レバノンの山々から流れ落ちる冷たい水のように、
私をさわやかな気分にしてくれる。」
おとめ
「 16 北風よ、さあ吹いておくれ。
南風よ、私の庭に吹いて、
愛する方のもとに香りを届けておくれ。
あの方がご自分の庭に来て、
最上の実を召し上がるように。」
ソロモン王

Song of Songs 4
New International Version
He
4 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil(A) are doves.(B)
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from the hills of Gilead.(C)
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.(D)
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth(E) is lovely.(F)
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.(G)
4 Your neck is like the tower(H) of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(I)
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts(J) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle(K)
that browse among the lilies.(L)
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,(M)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh(N)
and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful,(O) my darling;
there is no flaw(P) in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,(Q)
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir,(R) the summit of Hermon,(S)
from the lions’ dens
and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;(T)
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.(U)
10 How delightful(V) is your love(W), my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,(X)
and the fragrance of your perfume(Y)
more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.(Z)
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.(AA)
12 You are a garden(AB) locked up, my sister, my bride;(AC)
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.(AD)
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates(AE)
with choice fruits,
with henna(AF) and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,(AG)
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh(AH) and aloes(AI)
and all the finest spices.(AJ)
15 You are[b] a garden(AK) fountain,(AL)
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.
She

New King James Version
The Bridegroom Praises the Bride
The Beloved
4 Behold, (A)you are fair, my love!
Behold, you are fair!
You have dove’s eyes behind your veil.
Your hair is like a (B)flock of goats,
Going down from Mount Gilead.
2 (C)Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep
Which have come up from the washing,
Every one of which bears twins,
And none is [a]barren among them.
3 Your lips are like a strand of scarlet,
And your mouth is lovely.
(D)Your temples behind your veil
Are like a piece of pomegranate.
4 (E)Your neck is like the tower of David,
Built (F)for an armory,
On which hang a thousand [b]bucklers,
All shields of mighty men.
5 (G)Your two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle,
Which feed among the lilies.
6 (H)Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh
And to the hill of frankincense.
7 (I)You are all fair, my love,
And there is no spot in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse,
With me from Lebanon.
Look from the top of Amana,
From the top of Senir (J)and Hermon,
From the lions’ dens,
From the mountains of the leopards.
9 You have ravished my heart,
My sister, my spouse;
You have ravished my heart
With one look of your eyes,
With one link of your necklace.
10 How fair is your love,
My sister, my spouse!
(K)How much better than wine is your love,
And the [c]scent of your perfumes
Than all spices!
11 Your lips, O my spouse,
Drip as the honeycomb;
(L)Honey and milk are under your tongue;
And the fragrance of your garments
Is (M)like the fragrance of Lebanon.
12 A garden [d]enclosed
Is my sister, my spouse,
A spring shut up,
A fountain sealed.
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
With pleasant fruits,
Fragrant henna with spikenard,
14 Spikenard and saffron,
Calamus and cinnamon,
With all trees of frankincense,
Myrrh and aloes,
With all the chief spices—
15 A fountain of gardens,
A well of (N)living waters,
And streams from Lebanon.
The Shulamite
16 Awake, O north wind,
And come, O south!
Blow upon my garden,
That its spices may flow out.
(O)Let my beloved come to his garden
And eat its pleasant (P)fruits.
