那从旷野上来,

靠在她爱人身旁的是谁呢?

我在苹果树下唤醒了你;

在那里你的母亲怀了你;

在那里生育你的为你受生产的痛苦。

求你把我放在你心上如印记,

把我带在你臂上如戳印;

因为爱情像死亡一般的坚强;

嫉妒如阴间一般的坚稳;

它的烈焰是火的烈焰,

是非常猛烈的火焰。

爱情,众水不能熄灭,

洪流不能淹没;

如果有人拿自己家里所有的财产去换取爱情,

就必被藐视。

耶路撒冷的少女:

那从旷野上来、靠在良人身旁的是谁呢?

女子:

我在苹果树下唤醒你,
你母亲在那里怀你养你,
为你受生产之苦。
请把我印在你的心上,
刻在你的手臂上,
因为爱情如死亡一般坚固,
嫉妒像阴间一样残酷,
它燃起的火焰是烧灭一切的烈火。
爱情,大水不能熄灭,
江河不能淹没。
若有人想倾其家财买爱情,
必遭唾弃。

Friends

Who is this coming up from the wilderness(A)
    leaning on her beloved?

She

Under the apple tree I roused you;
    there your mother conceived(B) you,
    there she who was in labor gave you birth.
Place me like a seal over your heart,
    like a seal on your arm;
for love(C) is as strong as death,
    its jealousy[a](D) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
    like a mighty flame.[b]
Many waters cannot quench love;
    rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
    all the wealth of one’s house for love,
    it[c] would be utterly scorned.(E)

  3. Song of Songs 8:7 Or he

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.

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.

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.
