Song of Solomon 2
New Living Translation
Young Woman
2 I am the spring crocus blooming on the Sharon Plain,[a]
the lily of the valley.
Young Man
2 Like a lily among thistles
is my darling among young women.
Young Woman
3 Like the finest apple tree in the orchard
is my lover among other young men.
I sit in his delightful shade
and taste his delicious fruit.
4 He escorts me to the banquet hall;
it’s obvious how much he loves me.
5 Strengthen me with raisin cakes,
refresh me with apples,
for I am weak with love.
6 His left arm is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me.
7 Promise me, O women of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles and wild deer,
not to awaken love until the time is right.[b]
8 Ah, I hear my lover coming!
He is leaping over the mountains,
bounding over the hills.
9 My lover is like a swift gazelle
or a young stag.
Look, there he is behind the wall,
looking through the window,
peering into the room.
10 My lover said to me,
“Rise up, my darling!
Come away with me, my fair one!
11 Look, the winter is past,
and the rains are over and gone.
12 The flowers are springing up,
the season of singing birds[c] has come,
and the cooing of turtledoves fills the air.
13 The fig trees are forming young fruit,
and the fragrant grapevines are blossoming.
Rise up, my darling!
Come away with me, my fair one!”
Young Man
14 My dove is hiding behind the rocks,
behind an outcrop on the cliff.
Let me see your face;
let me hear your voice.
For your voice is pleasant,
and your face is lovely.
Young Women of Jerusalem
15 Catch all the foxes,
those little foxes,
before they ruin the vineyard of love,
for the grapevines are blossoming!
Young Woman
16 My lover is mine, and I am his.
He browses among the lilies.
17 Before the dawn breezes blow
and the night shadows flee,
return to me, my love, like a gazelle
or a young stag on the rugged mountains.[d]
雅歌 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
新郎新妇相爱
2 我是沙仑的玫瑰花[a]，是谷中的百合花。
2 我的佳偶在女子中，好像百合花在荆棘内。
3 我的良人在男子中，如同苹果树在树林中。我欢欢喜喜坐在他的荫下，尝他果子的滋味，觉得甘甜。 4 他带我入筵宴所，以爱为旗在我以上。 5 求你们给我葡萄干增补我力，给我苹果畅快我心，因我思爱成病。 6 他的左手在我头下，他的右手将我抱住。
7 耶路撒冷的众女子啊，我指着羚羊或田野的母鹿嘱咐你们：不要惊动，不要叫醒我所亲爱的，等她自己情愿[b]。
8 听啊，是我良人的声音！看哪，他蹿山越岭而来。 9 我的良人好像羚羊，或像小鹿。他站在我们墙壁后，从窗户往里观看，从窗棂往里窥探。
10 我良人对我说：“我的佳偶，我的美人，起来，与我同去！ 11 因为冬天已往，雨水止住过去了。 12 地上百花开放，百鸟鸣叫的时候[c]已经来到，斑鸠的声音在我们境内也听见了。 13 无花果树的果子渐渐成熟，葡萄树开花放香。我的佳偶，我的美人，起来，与我同去！ 14 我的鸽子啊，你在磐石穴中，在陡岩的隐密处，求你容我得见你的面貌，得听你的声音，因为你的声音柔和，你的面貌秀美。”
15 要给我们擒拿狐狸，就是毁坏葡萄园的小狐狸，因为我们的葡萄正在开花。 16 良人属我，我也属他；他在百合花中牧放群羊。 17 我的良人哪，求你等到天起凉风，日影飞去的时候，你要转回，好像羚羊或像小鹿在比特山上。
