¹良人称赞佳偶

¹Lo, thou [art] fair, my friend, lo, thou [art] fair, Thine eyes [are] doves behind thy veil, Thy hair as a row of the goats That have shone from mount Gilead,

²你的牙齿像新剪毛的一群母羊，刚刚洗净那样洁白整齐；它们成双成对，没有单独一只的。

²Thy teeth as a row of the shorn ones That have come up from the washing, For all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them.

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。

³As a thread of scarlet [are] thy lips, And thy speech [is] comely, As the work of the pomegranate [is] thy temple behind thy veil,

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。

⁴As the tower of David [is] thy neck, built for an armoury, The chief of the shields are hung on it, All shields of the mighty.

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。

⁵Thy two breasts [are] as two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are feeding among lilies.

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。

⁶Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled away, I will get me unto the mountain of myrrh, And unto the hill of frankincense.

⁷我的佳偶啊！你全然美丽，毫无瑕疵。

⁷Thou [art] all fair, my friend, And a blemish there is not in thee. Come from Lebanon, O spouse,

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。

⁸Come from Lebanon, come thou in. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Hermon, From the habitations of lions, From the mountains of leopards.

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。

⁹Thou hast emboldened me, my sister-spouse, Emboldened me with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.

¹⁰我的妹妹，我的新妇啊！你的爱情多么美丽。你的爱情多么美好，比酒更美、更好。你膏油的香气胜过一切香料。

¹⁰How wonderful have been thy loves, my sister-spouse, How much better have been thy loves than wine, And the fragrance of thy perfumes than all spices.

¹¹我的新妇啊！你的嘴唇滴蜜，好像蜂房滴蜜；你的舌下有蜜有奶；你衣服的香气好像黎巴嫩山的香气。

¹¹Thy lips drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk [are] under thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments [Is] as the fragrance of Lebanon.

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。

¹²A garden shut up [is] my sister-spouse, A spring shut up — a fountain sealed.

¹³你所栽种的是一所石榴园，有极美的果子，有凤仙花和哪达树。

¹³Thy shoots a paradise of pomegranates, With precious fruits,

¹⁴有哪达和番红花，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。

¹⁴Cypresses with nard — nard and saffron, Cane and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices.

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。

¹⁵A fount of gardens, a well of living waters, And flowings from Lebanon!

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。

¹⁶Awake, O north wind, and come, O south, Cause my garden to breathe forth, its spices let flow, Let my beloved come to his garden, And eat its pleasant fruits!
