Song of Solomon 2
Song of Solomon is a cycle of love poetry between two lovers, read in Jewish and Christian tradition both literally and allegorically.
我是沙 的玫瑰花 , 是谷中的百合花。
wǒ shì shā de méi guī huā , shì gǔ zhōng de bǎi hé huā 。
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
我的佳偶在女子中, 好像百合花在荆棘内。
wǒ de jiā ǒu zài nǚ zǐ zhōng , hǎo xiàng bǎi hé huā zài jīng jí nèi 。
As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
我的良人在男子中, 如同苹果树在树林中。 我欢欢喜喜坐在他的荫下, 尝他果子的滋味,觉得甘甜。
wǒ de liáng rén zài nán zǐ zhōng , rú tóng píng guǒ shù zài shù lín zhōng 。 wǒ huān huān xǐ xǐ zuò zài tā de yìn xià , cháng tā guǒ zi de zī wèi , jué de gān tián 。
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, his fruit was sweet to my taste.
他带我入筵宴所, 以爱为旗在我以上。
tā dài wǒ rù yán yàn suǒ , yǐ ài wéi qí zài wǒ yǐ shàng 。
He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner over me is love.
求你们给我葡萄干增补我力, 给我苹果畅快我心, 因我思爱成病。
qiú nǐ men gěi wǒ pú tao gān zēng bǔ wǒ lì , gěi wǒ píng guǒ chàng kuài wǒ xīn , yīn wǒ sī ài chéng bìng 。
Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love.
他的左手在我头下; 他的右手将我抱住。
tā de zuǒ shǒu zài wǒ tóu xià ; tā de yòu shǒu jiāng wǒ bào zhù 。
His left hand is under my head. His right hand embraces me.
耶路撒冷的众女子啊, 我指着羚羊或田野的母鹿嘱咐你们: 不要惊动、不要叫醒我所亲爱的, 等他自己情愿 。
yē lù sā lěng de zhòng nǚ zǐ a , wǒ zhǐ zhe líng yáng huò tián yě de mǔ lù zhǔ fu nǐ men : bú yào jīng dòng 、 bú yào jiào xǐng wǒ suǒ qīn ài de , děng tā zì jǐ qíng yuàn 。
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
听啊!是我良人的声音; 看哪!他蹿山越岭而来。
tīng a ! shì wǒ liáng rén de shēng yīn ; kàn nǎ ! tā cuān shān yuè lǐng ér lái 。
The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
我的良人好像羚羊,或像小鹿。 他站在我们墙壁后, 从窗户往里观看, 从窗棂往里窥探。
wǒ de liáng rén hǎo xiàng líng yáng , huò xiàng xiǎo lù 。 tā zhàn zài wǒ men qiáng bì hòu , cóng chuāng hu wǎng lǐ guān kàn , cóng chuāng líng wǎng lǐ kuī tàn 。
My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.
我良人对我说: 〔新郎〕 我的佳偶,我的美人, 起来,与我同去!
wǒ liáng rén duì wǒ shuō : 〔 xīn láng 〕 wǒ de jiā ǒu , wǒ de měi rén , qǐ lái , yǔ wǒ tóng qù !
My beloved spoke, and said to me, “Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
因为冬天已往, 雨水止住过去了。
yīn wèi dōng tiān yǐ wǎng , yǔ shuǐ zhǐ zhù guò qù le 。
For behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone.
地上百花开放, 百鸟鸣叫的时候 已经来到; 斑鸠的声音在我们境内也听见了。
dì shang bǎi huā kāi fàng , bǎi niǎo míng jiào de shí hou yǐ jīng lái dào ; bān jiū de shēng yīn zài wǒ men jìng nèi yě tīng jiàn le 。
The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
无花果树的果子渐渐成熟; 葡萄树开花放香。 我的佳偶,我的美人, 起来,与我同去!
wú huā guǒ shù de guǒ zi jiàn jiàn chéng shú ; pú tao shù kāi huā fàng xiāng 。 wǒ de jiā ǒu , wǒ de měi rén , qǐ lái , yǔ wǒ tóng qù !
The fig tree ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom. They give out their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.”
我的鸽子啊,你在磐石穴中, 在陡岩的隐密处。 求你容我得见你的面貌, 得听你的声音; 因为你的声音柔和, 你的面貌秀美。
wǒ de gē zi a , nǐ zài pán shí xué zhōng , zài dǒu yán de yǐn mì chù 。 qiú nǐ róng wǒ dé jiàn nǐ de miàn mào , dé tīng nǐ de shēng yīn ; yīn wèi nǐ de shēng yīn róu hé , nǐ de miàn mào xiù měi 。
My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountainside, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.
要给我们擒拿狐狸, 就是毁坏葡萄园的小狐狸, 因为我们的葡萄正在开花。
yào gěi wǒ men qín ná hú li , jiù shì huǐ huài pú tao yuán de xiǎo hú li , yīn wèi wǒ men de pú tao zhèng zài kāi huā 。
Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that plunder the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.
良人属我,我也属他; 他在百合花中牧放群羊。
liáng rén shǔ wǒ , wǒ yě shǔ tā ; tā zài bǎi hé huā zhōng mù fàng qún yáng 。
My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies.
我的良人哪, 求你等到天起凉风、 日影飞去的时候, 你要转回,好像羚羊, 或像小鹿在比特山上。
wǒ de liáng rén nǎ , qiú nǐ děng dào tiān qǐ liáng fēng 、 rì yǐng fēi qù de shí hou , nǐ yào zhuǎn huí , hǎo xiàng líng yáng , huò xiàng xiǎo lù zài bǐ tè shān shàng 。
Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.
