1 Oh that thou wert as my brother, That sucked the breasts of my mother! Should I find thee without, I would kiss thee; And they would not despise me.

2 I would lead thee, bring thee into my mother's house; Thou wouldest instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate.

3 His left hand would be under my head, And his right hand embrace me.

4 I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, ...Why should ye stir up, why awake {my} love, till he please?

5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? I awoke thee under the apple-tree: There thy mother brought thee forth; There she brought thee forth {that} bore thee.

6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol: The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, Flames of Jah.

7 Many waters cannot quench love, Neither do the floods drown it: Even if a man gave all the substance of his house for love, It would utterly be contemned.

8 We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for? -

9 If she be a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver; And if she be a door, We will enclose her with boards of cedar.

10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers; Then was I in his eyes as one that findeth peace.

11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon: He let out the vineyard unto keepers; Every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand silver-pieces.

12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: The thousand {silver-pieces} be to thee, Solomon; And to the keepers of its fruit, two hundred.

13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, The companions hearken to thy voice: Let me hear {it}.

14 Haste, my beloved, And be thou like a gazelle or a young hart Upon the mountains of spices.

1 但愿你像我的兄弟， 像吃我母亲奶的兄弟。这样， 我在外面遇见你， 就可以吻你， 不会被人藐视。

2 我要引领你， 领你到我母亲家里去； 从小她就教导我。我要给你喝香酒。

3 他的左手托住我的头， 他的右手拥抱着我。

4 耶路撒冷的众女子啊！ 我恳求你们， 不要惊动他， 不要挑起他的爱情， 等它自发吧。

5 那从旷野上来， 靠在她爱人身旁的是谁呢？我在苹果树下唤醒了你； 在那里你的母亲怀了你； 在那里生育你的为你受生产的痛苦。

6 求你把我放在你心上如印记， 把我带在你臂上如戳印； 因为爱情像死亡一般的坚强； 嫉妒如阴间一般的坚稳； 它的烈焰是火的烈焰， 是非常猛烈的火焰。

7 爱情， 众水不能熄灭， 洪流不能淹没； 如果有人拿自己家里所有的财产去换取爱情， 就必被藐视。

8 我们有一个小妹妹， 她的两乳还未发育完全； 有人来提亲的时候， 我们当为她怎样办理呢？

9 她若是墙， 我们就要在她上面建造银塔； 她若是门， 我们就要用香柏木板围护她。

10 我是墙， 我的两乳像其上的塔； 我在他的眼中像寻得安乐的人。

11 所罗门在巴力．哈们有个葡萄园； 他把这葡萄园租给看守的人， 各人要为葡萄园所得的果子付一万一千四百克银子。

12 我自己的葡萄园却在我面前， 所罗门哪， 一万一千四百克归给你， 二千二百八十克归给那些看守果子的人。

13 你这住在园中的啊！ 我的同伴都在细听你的声音； 愿你使我也听见。

14 我的良人哪！ 愿你快来， 像羚羊或小鹿， 在香草山上！
