Song of Solomon 8

1 O that you were to me like a brother who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.

1 巴不得你像我的兄弟， 像吃我母親奶的兄弟； 我在外頭遇見你就與你親嘴， 誰也不輕看我。

2 I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.

2 我必引導你， 領你進我母親的家； 我可以領受教訓， 也就使你喝石榴汁釀的香酒。

3 His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

3 他的左手必在我頭下； 他的右手必將我抱住。

4 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.

4 耶路撒冷的眾女子啊， 我囑咐你們： 不要驚動、不要叫醒我所親愛的， 等他自己情願 。

5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.

5 那靠着良人從曠野上來的是誰呢？ 我在蘋果樹下叫醒你。 你母親在那裏為你劬勞； 生養你的在那裏為你劬勞。

6 Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all.

6 求你將我放在你心上如印記， 帶在你臂上如戳記。 因為愛情如死之堅強， 嫉恨如陰間之殘忍； 所發的電光是火焰的電光， 是耶和華的烈焰。

7 Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.

7 愛情，眾水不能熄滅， 大水也不能淹沒。 若有人拿家中所有的財寶要換愛情， 就全被藐視。

8 We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?

8 我們有一小妹； 她的兩乳尚未長成， 人來提親的日子， 我們當為她怎樣辦理？

9 If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver upon her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.

9 她若是牆， 我們要在其上建造銀塔； 她若是門， 我們要用香柏木板圍護她。

10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.

10 我是牆； 我兩乳像其上的樓。 那時，我在他眼中像得平安的人。

11 Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.

11 所羅門在巴力‧哈們有一葡萄園； 他將這葡萄園交給看守的人， 為其中的果子必交一千舍客勒銀子。

12 But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.

12 我自己的葡萄園在我面前。 所羅門哪，一千舍客勒歸你， 二百舍客勒歸看守果子的人。

13 You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!

13 你這住在園中的， 同伴都要聽你的聲音， 求你使我也得聽見。

14 Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.

14 我的良人哪，求你快來！ 如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上。
