新婦遊觀於園

你這女子中極美麗的,你的良人往何處去了?你的良人轉向何處去了,我們好與你同去尋找他。

我的良人下入自己園中,到香花畦,在園內牧放群羊,採百合花。 我屬我的良人,我的良人也屬我;他在百合花中牧放群羊。

我的佳偶啊,你美麗如得撒,秀美如耶路撒冷,威武如展開旌旗的軍隊。 求你掉轉眼目不看我,因你的眼目使我驚亂。你的頭髮如同山羊群臥在基列山旁。 你的牙齒如一群母羊洗淨上來,個個都有雙生,沒有一隻喪掉子的。 你的兩太陽在帕子內,如同一塊石榴。 有六十王后八十妃嬪,並有無數的童女—— 我的鴿子,我的完全人,只有這一個是她母親獨生的,是生養她者所寶愛的。眾女子見了就稱她有福,王后妃嬪見了也讚美她。

10 那向外觀看如晨光發現,美麗如月亮,皎潔如日頭,威武如展開旌旗軍隊的,是誰呢?

11 我下入核桃園,要看谷中青綠的植物,要看葡萄發芽沒有,石榴開花沒有。 12 不知不覺,我的心將我安置在我尊長的車中。

13 回來,回來,書拉密女!你回來,你回來,使我們得觀看你!

你們為何要觀看書拉密女,像觀看瑪哈念跳舞的呢?

Friends

Where has your beloved(A) gone,
    most beautiful of women?(B)
Which way did your beloved turn,
    that we may look for him with you?

She

My beloved has gone(C) down to his garden,(D)
    to the beds of spices,(E)
to browse in the gardens
    and to gather lilies.
I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine;(F)
    he browses among the lilies.(G)

He

You are as beautiful as Tirzah,(H) my darling,
    as lovely as Jerusalem,(I)
    as majestic as troops with banners.(J)
Turn your eyes from me;
    they overwhelm me.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
    descending from Gilead.(K)
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
    coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin,
    not one of them is missing.(L)
Your temples behind your veil(M)
    are like the halves of a pomegranate.(N)
Sixty queens(O) there may be,
    and eighty concubines,(P)
    and virgins beyond number;
but my dove,(Q) my perfect one,(R) is unique,
    the only daughter of her mother,
    the favorite of the one who bore her.(S)
The young women saw her and called her blessed;
    the queens and concubines praised her.

Friends

10 Who is this that appears like the dawn,
    fair as the moon, bright as the sun,
    majestic as the stars in procession?

He

11 I went down to the grove of nut trees
    to look at the new growth in the valley,
to see if the vines had budded
    or the pomegranates were in bloom.(T)
12 Before I realized it,
    my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people.[a]

Friends

13 Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
    come back, come back, that we may gaze on you!

He

Why would you gaze on the Shulammite
    as on the dance(U) of Mahanaim?[b]

Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.

As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.

My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?

11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.

12 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.

13 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
