雅歌 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
8 如果你是我的同胞兄弟就好了。
這樣，在外頭遇見你，
我也可以親吻你，
沒有人會取笑我。
2 我可以把你帶進我母親的家——她教養了我。
我要給你喝石榴汁釀的醇酒。
3 你的左手扶著我的頭，
右手緊抱著我。
4 耶路撒冷的少女啊，
我懇求你們，
不要叫醒或驚動愛情，
等它自發吧。
耶路撒冷的少女：
5 那從曠野上來、靠在良人身旁的是誰呢？
女子：
我在蘋果樹下喚醒你，
你母親在那裡懷你養你，
為你受生產之苦。
6 請把我印在你的心上，
刻在你的手臂上，
因為愛情如死亡一般堅固，
嫉妒像陰間一樣殘酷，
它燃起的火焰是燒滅一切的烈火。
7 愛情，大水不能熄滅，
江河不能淹沒。
若有人想傾其家財買愛情，
必遭唾棄。
女子的兄長：
8 我們有一個小妹，
她的胸脯還沒有發育。
若有人來提親，
我們該怎麼辦？
9 她若是牆，
我們要在上面建造銀塔；
她若是門，
我們要用香柏木板圍護她。
女子：
10 我是一面牆，
雙乳像城樓，
我在他眼中像找到平安的人。
11 所羅門在巴力·哈們有一個葡萄園，
他把葡萄園租給農夫，
租金是每人一千塊銀子。
12 我的葡萄園，我自己作主。
所羅門啊，你的一千塊銀子自己留著，
二百塊銀子給管果園的人。
男子：
13 你這住在園中的人啊，
同伴們都在聆聽你的聲音，
求你讓我也聽見吧！
女子：
14 我的良人啊，
願你像香草山上的羚羊和小鹿，
快快來到我身邊！
Song of Solomon 8
New King James Version
Lovers Reunited at Their Country Home
8 Oh, that you were like my brother,
Who nursed at my mother’s breasts!
If I should find you outside,
I would kiss you;
I would not be despised.
2 I would lead you and bring you
Into the (A)house of my mother,
She who used to instruct me.
I would cause you to drink of (B)spiced wine,
Of the juice of my pomegranate.
(To the Daughters of Jerusalem)
3 (C)His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.
4 (D)I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
Love Renewed in Lebanon
A Relative
5 (E)Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved?
I awakened you under the apple tree.
There your mother brought you forth;
There she who bore you brought you forth.
The Shulamite to Her Beloved
6 (F)Set me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
(G)Jealousy as [a]cruel as [b]the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
[c]A most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
(H)If a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.
The Shulamite’s Brothers
8 (I)We have a little sister,
And she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
We will build upon her
A battlement of silver;
And if she is a door,
We will enclose her
With boards of cedar.
The Shulamite
10 I am a wall,
And my breasts like towers;
Then I became in his eyes
As one who found peace.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;
(J)He leased the vineyard to keepers;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit
A thousand silver coins.
(To Solomon)
12 My own vineyard is before me.
You, O Solomon, may have a thousand,
And those who tend its fruit two hundred.
The Beloved
13 You who dwell in the gardens,
The companions listen for your voice—
(K)Let me hear it!
The Shulamite

Longing for Her Beloved
8 Oh that you were like a brother to me
who nursed at my mother's breasts!
If I found you outside, I would kiss you,
and none would despise me.
2 I would lead you and (A)bring you
into the house of my mother—
she who used to teach me.
I would give you (B)spiced wine to drink,
the juice of my pomegranate.
3 (C)His left hand is under my head,
and his right hand embraces me!
4 I (D)adjure you, O (E)daughters of Jerusalem,
(F)that you not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.
5 (G)Who is that coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on her beloved?
Under the apple tree I awakened you.
There your mother was in labor with you;
there she who bore you was in labor.
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as (H)a seal upon your arm,
for (I)love is strong as death,
(J)jealousy[a] is fierce as the grave.[b]
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very (K)flame of the Lord.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can floods drown it.
If a man offered for love
all the wealth of his (L)house,
he[c] would be utterly despised.
