Song of Solomon 雅歌01

1Solomon's Song of Songs.
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth- for your love is more delightful¹ than wine.
3Pleasing is the fragrance² of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens³ love you!
4Take me away with you-let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers⁴. We rejoice and delight in you ; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you!
5Dark am I, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon.
6Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected.
7Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends?
8If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds.
9I liken you, my darling, to a mare⁵ harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh.
10Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings⁶, your neck with strings⁷ of jewels.
11We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.
12While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
14My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
15How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.
16How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant⁸.
17The beams of our house are cedars⁹; our rafters are firs.
