Kidung Agung 1

¹Kidung agung dari Salomo.

¹The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.

²--Kiranya ia mencium aku dengan kecupan! Karena cintamu lebih nikmat dari pada anggur,

²Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine;

³harum bau minyakmu, bagaikan minyak yang tercurah namamu, oleh sebab itu gadis-gadis cinta kepadamu!

³your anointing oils are fragrant; your name is oil poured out; therefore virgins love you.

⁴Tariklah aku di belakangmu, marilah kita cepat-cepat pergi! Sang raja telah membawa aku ke dalam maligai-maligainya. Kami akan bersorak-sorai dan bergembira karena engkau, kami akan memuji cintamu lebih dari pada anggur! Layaklah mereka cinta kepadamu!

⁴Draw me after you; let us run. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more than wine; rightly do they love you.

⁵Memang hitam aku, tetapi cantik, hai puteri-puteri Yerusalem, seperti kemah orang Kedar, seperti tirai-tirai orang Salma.

⁵I am very dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

⁶Janganlah kamu perhatikan bahwa aku hitam, karena terik matahari membakar aku. Putera-putera ibuku marah kepadaku, aku dijadikan mereka penjaga kebun-kebun anggur; kebun anggurku sendiri tak kujaga.

⁶Do not gaze at me because I am dark, because the sun has looked upon me. My mother's sons were angry with me; they made me keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept!

⁷Ceriterakanlah kepadaku, jantung hatiku, di mana kakanda menggembalakan domba, di mana kakanda membiarkan domba-domba berbaring pada petang hari. Karena mengapa aku akan jadi serupa pengembara dekat kawanan-kawanan domba teman-temanmu?

⁷Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you pasture your flock, where you make it lie down at noon; for why should I be like one who veils herself beside the flocks of your companions?

⁸--Jika engkau tak tahu, hai jelita di antara wanita, ikutilah jejak-jejak domba, dan gembalakanlah anak-anak kambingmu dekat perkemahan para gembala.

⁸If you do not know, O most beautiful among women, follow in the tracks of the flock, and pasture your young goats beside the shepherds' tents.

⁹--Dengan kuda betina dari pada kereta-kereta Firaun kuumpamakan engkau, manisku.

⁹I compare you, my love, to a mare among Pharaoh's chariots.

¹⁰Moleklah pipimu di tengah perhiasan-perhiasan dan lehermu di tengah kalung-kalung.

¹⁰Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.

¹¹Kami akan membuat bagimu perhiasan-perhiasan emas dengan manik-manik perak.

¹¹We will make for you ornaments of gold, studded with silver.

¹²--Sementara sang raja duduk pada mejanya, semerbak bau narwastuku.

¹²While the king was on his couch, my nard gave forth its fragrance.

¹³Bagiku kekasihku bagaikan sebungkus mur, tersisip di antara buah dadaku.

¹³My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh that lies between my breasts.

¹⁴Bagiku kekasihku setangkai bunga pacar di kebun-kebun anggur En-Gedi.

¹⁴My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of Engedi.

¹⁵--Lihatlah, cantik engkau, manisku, sungguh cantik engkau, bagaikan merpati matamu.

¹⁵Behold, you are beautiful, my love; behold, you are beautiful; your eyes are doves.

¹⁶--Lihatlah, tampan engkau, kekasihku, sungguh menarik; sungguh sejuk petiduran kita.

¹⁶Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly delightful. Our couch is green;

¹⁷Dari kayu aras balok-balok rumah kita, dari kayu eru papan dinding-dinding kita.

¹⁷the beams of our house are cedar; our rafters are pine.
