1 O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised. 2 I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother’s house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate. 3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. 4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.

5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give 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 palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar. 10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour. 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 pieces of silver. 12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.

13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.

14 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to 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！
