¹Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? Whither hath thy beloved turned him, 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 to 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 [his flock] among the lilies,

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

⁴Thou art fair, 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 lie along the side of Gilead.

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

⁶Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes, Which are come up from the washing; Whereof every one hath twins, And none is bereaved among them.

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

⁷Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate Behind thy veil.

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 called her blessed; [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, 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 green plants of the valley, To see whether the vine budded, [And] the pomegranates were in flower.

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

¹²Before I was aware, my soul set me [Among] the chariots of my princely people.

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

¹³Return, return, O Shulammite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. Why will ye look upon the Shulammite, As upon the dance of Mahanaim?

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