1Kidung Agung ciptaan Salomo.
1The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s. Beloved
2Ciumilah aku dengan bibirmu; cintamu lebih nikmat dari anggur!
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.
3Engkau harum semerbak, namamu seperti minyak wangi yang tertumpah; sebab itulah gadis-gadis cinta padamu!
3Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured forth, therefore the virgins love you.
4Bergegaslah kita, ya rajaku, bawalah aku ke dalam kamarmu. Karena engkau kami semua bersukaria, dan memuji cintamu melebihi anggur; pantaslah gadis-gadis cinta padamu!
4Take me away with you. Let us hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are right to love you.
5Biar hitam, aku cantik, hai putri-putri Yerusalem; hitam seperti kemah-kemah Kedar, tapi indah seperti tirai-tirai di istana Salomo!
5I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains.
6Jangan perhatikan kulitku yang hitam, sebab aku terbakar sinar matahari. Abang-abangku marah kepadaku, dan menyuruh aku bekerja di kebun anggur; aku tiada waktu mengurus diriku sendiri.
6Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.
7Katakanlah, hai kekasihku, di mana engkau menggembalakan domba-domba, di mana kaubaringkan mereka di waktu petang? Masakan aku akan seperti pengembara di antara kawanan domba teman-temanmu?
7Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; For why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions? Lover
8Masakan engkau tak tahu tempatnya, hai yang jelita di antara wanita? Ikut saja jejak kawanan domba, dan gembalakanlah kambing-kambingmu di dekat perkemahan para gembala.
8If you don’t know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.
9Kekasihku, engkau laksana kuda betina yang menarik kereta raja Mesir.
9I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.
10Pipimu molek di tengah perhiasan, lehermu indah dengan kalung permata.
10Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
11Kami buatkan perhiasan emas bagimu, dengan manik-manik perak.
11We will make you earrings of gold, with studs of silver. Beloved
12Sementara rajaku di pembaringannya, semerbak wangi narwastuku.
12While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13Kekasihku seperti mur harumnya, waktu berbaring di dadaku.
13My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.
14Kekasihku laksana serumpun bunga pacar di kebun-kebun anggur En-Gedi.
14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi. Lover
15Engkau cantik jelita, manisku, sungguh cantik engkau! Matamu bagaikan merpati.
15Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves. Beloved
16Engkau tampan, sayang, sungguh tampan engkau! Petiduran kita di rumput hijau.
16Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant. Lover
17Pohon aras jadi tiang rumah kita, dan pohon cemara langit-langitnya.
17The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.
