Song of Solomon

Chapter 1

1 THE song of songs, which is Solomon's, the son of David king of Israel.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.

3 Because of the fragrance of your good ointments your name is like ointment of myrrh, therefore do the virgins love you.

4 Draw me after you, let us run; the king has brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in you, we will remember your love more than wine, and your affections more than the upright.

5 I have dark skin, but I am comely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

6 Do not look at me because I have dark skin, because the sun has tanned me; my mother's sons contended with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard I have not kept.

7 Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, where did I feed, where did I make my flock to rest at noon? Lest I become like a sheep which has gone astray from your flocks.

8 If you do not know, O you most beautiful among women, come, follow in the footprints of the flock, and feed your kids beside the shepherds' tents.

9 I have compared you, O my beloved, to a mare in Pharaoh's chariot.

10 Your cheeks are comely with braided hair, and your neck with necklaces.

11 We will make for you golden chains with studs of silver.

12 While you are seated with the king upon his cushion, spikenard sends forth its fragrance.

13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me; he shall lie all night between my breasts.

14 My beloved is to me like a cluster of henna flowers in a vineyard of Engad.

15 Behold, you are beautiful, O my beloved; behold, you are fair; you have dove's eyes.

16 Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yea, pleasant; also our bed is spacious.

17 The beams of our house are of cedar, and our rafters of cypress.

雅歌

第1章

1 此所羅門之雅歌也。

2 新婦曰、爾眷愛之情、愈於酒醴、與我接吻。

3 爾名流芳、若芬馥之品、傾注於外、其香遠徹、故婢女愛汝。

4 爾爲我先導、我步爾後塵、遂入宮闈、予甚悅爾、爾眷愛之情、愈於酒醴、而人之戀愛爾者、亦其宜也。

5 謂其婢曰、耶路撒冷女乎、我顏微紫、若基達之幕、我容微美、若所羅門之幬。

6 昔兄弟憾予、使予守園、不顧己身、遂暴於日、容色微紫、爾曹婢女勿藐視予。

7 維我良人、予所敬愛、予不欲與爾同儔爲伍、以遨以遊、惟欲詣爾牧地、爾牧羊何所、至於日中、羊伏蔭下、又在何方、請以告我。

8 其婢曰、姣美之姝、如爾不識其所、以爾之羊置帷幕間、可踵羣羊之跡、自能遇之。

9 其良人曰、我視愛妃、若法老駕車之馬、

10 爾容甚美、飾貌以珍珠、垂項以玫瑰。

11 我必以金條銀頂、飾汝之首。

12 新婦曰、王坐席間、聞我馨香、

13 夫子我所敬愛、視若沒藥一緘、古伯花一簇、自隱其底之園而至、必使終夕、寢於我側。

14 併於上節

15 良人曰、愛妃甚美、爾目若鴿。

16 新婦曰、夫子丰采甚都、我所敬愛、我寢此牀、其色維綠、其式甚美。

17 我室之粱、製以柏香木、我室之蓋、製以松木。
