¹Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

¹Ke mana kekasihmu pergi, hai gadis yang paling jelita? Ke mana kekasihmu pergi, agar kami ikut mencarinya?

²My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

²Kekasihku pergi ke kebunnya, ke kebun rempah-rempah untuk menggembalakan domba-domba di kebun, dan memetik bunga-bunga bakung.

³I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

³Aku milik kekasihku, dan dia milikku, ia menggembalakan domba-domba di tengah bunga-bunga bakung.

⁴Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

⁴Engkau cantik, manisku, secantik kota Yerusalem, seelok kota Tirzah. Engkau sangat mempesonakan, seperti bala tentara dengan panji-panjinya.

⁵Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

⁵Palingkanlah wajahmu daripadaku, sebab pandanganmu membingungkan aku. Rambutmu seperti kawanan kambing yang menuruni bukit-bukit Gilead.

⁶Thy 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.

⁶Gigimu putih seperti kawanan domba yang baru dicukur dan dimandikan; berpasangan seperti anak-anak domba kembar, satu pun tak ada yang hilang.

⁷As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

⁷Pipimu seperti belahan buah delima, tersembunyi di balik cadarmu.

⁸There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.

⁸Biarpun ada enam puluh permaisuri, dan delapan puluh selir, serta gadis-gadis banyak sekali,

⁹My 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.

⁹namun hanya satulah merpatiku, idamanku, anak tunggal kesayangan ibunya. Gadis-gadis melihat dan memuji dia, para permaisuri dan selir kagum padanya.

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

¹⁰Siapakah dia yang datang laksana fajar merekah, seindah bulan purnama, secerah sang surya? Ia sangat mempesonakan, seperti bala tentara dengan panji-panjinya.

¹¹I 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.

¹¹Aku datang ke kebun kenari, melihat kuntum-kuntum di lembah; entah pohon anggur sudah ada kuncupnya, dan pohon delima sudah berbunga.

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

¹²Aku sangat merindukan cintamu, seperti kurindukan naik kereta perang bersama para bangsawan.

¹³Return, 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.

¹³Menarilah, hai gadis Sulam, berputar-putarlah, supaya kami kagumi.
