旧约 -- 雅歌(Song of Songs) -- 第 8 章 
 
 
8:1 巴不得你像我的兄弟，像吃我母亲奶的兄弟。我在外头遇见你就与你亲嘴，谁也不轻看我。
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.
 
8:2 我必引导你，领你进我母亲的家。我可以领受教训，也就使你喝石榴汁酿的香酒。
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.
 
8:3 他的左手必在我头下，他的右手必将我抱住。
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
 
8:4 耶路撒冷的众女子阿，我嘱咐你们，不要惊动，不要叫醒我所亲爱的，等他自己情愿（不要叫醒云云或作不要激动爱情等它自发）。
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
 
8:5 那靠着良人从旷野上来的，是谁呢。我在苹果树下叫醒你。你母亲在那里为你劬劳，生养你的在那里为你劬劳。
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.
 
8:6 求你将我放在心上如印记，带在你臂上如戳记。因为爱情如死之坚强。嫉恨如阴间之残忍。所发的电光，是火焰的电光，是耶和华的烈焰。
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.
 
8:7 爱情众水不能息灭，大水也不能淹没。若有人拿家中所有的财宝要换爱情，就全被藐视。
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.
 
8:8 我们有一小妹，她的两乳尚未长成。人来提亲的日子，我们当为她怎样办理。
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?
 
8:9 她若是墙，我们要在其上建造银塔。她若是门，我们要用香柏木板围护她。
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.
 
8:10 我是墙，我两乳像其上的楼。那时，我在他眼中像得平安的人。
I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
 
8:11 所罗门在巴力哈们有一葡萄园。他将这葡萄园交给看守的人，为其中的果子，必交一千舍客勒银子。
Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
 
8:12 我自己的葡萄园在我面前。所罗门哪，一千舍客勒归你，二百舍客勒归看守果子的人。
My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
 
8:13 你这住在园中的，同伴都要听你的声音，求你使我也得听见。
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.
 
8:14 我的良人哪，求你快来。如羚羊或小鹿在香草山上。
Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
