Song of Solomon 4
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.

良人称赞佳偶
4 我的佳偶啊!你很美丽;
你很美丽。
你的眼在面纱后面好象鸽子的眼睛;
头发如同从基列山下来的山羊群。
2 你的牙齿像新剪毛的一群母羊,
刚刚洗净那样洁白整齐;
牠们成双成对,
没有单独一只的。
3 你的嘴唇像一条朱红线,
你的小嘴美丽;
你的两颊在面纱后面,
如同切开的石榴。
4 你的颈项像大卫的城楼,
建造得十分整齐、雅观;
其上悬挂着一千个盾牌,
都是勇士的武器。
5 你的两乳像双生的母羚羊,
是在百合花中吃草的一对小鹿。
6 等到晚风徐来,
日影消逝的时候,
我要亲自到没药山,
要往乳香冈去。
7 我的佳偶啊!你全然美丽,
毫无瑕疵。
8 我的新妇啊!与我同去黎巴嫩山。
与我前往黎巴嫩山。
从亚玛拿山顶,
从示尼珥和黑门山顶,
从狮子洞,从豹子山俯望。
9 我的妹妹,我的新妇啊!你夺去了我的心。
你用你的眼神、
用你项链上的一颗珍珠夺去了我的心。
10 我的妹妹,我的新妇啊!
你的爱情多么美丽。
你的爱情比酒更好。
你膏油的香气胜过一切香料。
11 我的新妇啊!你的嘴唇滴蜜,好象蜂房滴蜜;
你的舌下有蜜有奶;
你衣服的香气好象黎巴嫩山的香气。
12 我的妹妹,我的新妇,是上了闩的园子,
是上了锁的水井,是封闭了的泉源。
13 你所栽种的是一所石榴园,
有极美的果子,有凤仙花和哪哒树。
14 有哪哒和番红花,菖蒲和肉桂,
以及各种乳香树、
没药和沉香,与各样精选的香料。
15 你是园中的泉源,
是活水的井,
是从黎巴嫩山流下来的溪水。
16 北风啊!兴起。
南风啊!吹来。
吹进我的园里,
让其中的香气散播出来。
愿我的良人进入他自己的园中,
享用他佳美的果子。
