Kidung Agung 6

¹--Ke mana perginya kekasihmu, hai jelita di antara wanita? Ke jurusan manakah kekasihmu pergi, supaya kami mencarinya besertamu?

¹Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?

²--Kekasihku telah turun ke kebunnya, ke bedeng rempah-rempah untuk menggembalakan domba dalam kebun dan memetik bunga bakung.

²My beloved has gone down to his garden to the beds of spices, to graze in the gardens and to gather lilies.

³Aku kepunyaan kekasihku, dan kepunyaanku kekasihku, yang menggembalakan domba di tengah-tengah bunga bakung.

³I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he grazes among the lilies.

⁴Cantik engkau, manisku, seperti kota Tirza, juita seperti Yerusalem, dahsyat seperti bala tentara dengan panji-panjinya.

⁴You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.

⁵Palingkanlah matamu dari padaku, sebab aku menjadi bingung karenanya. Rambutmu bagaikan kawanan kambing yang bergelombang turun dari Gilead.

⁵Turn away your eyes from me, for they overwhelm me--Your hair is like a flock of goats leaping down the slopes of Gilead.

⁶Gigimu bagaikan kawanan domba, yang keluar dari tempat pembasuhan, yang beranak kembar semuanya, yang tak beranak tak ada.

⁶Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing; all of them bear twins; not one among them has lost its young.

⁷Bagaikan belahan buah delima pelipismu di balik telekungmu.

⁷Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.

⁸Permaisuri ada enam puluh, selir delapan puluh, dan dara-dara tak terbilang banyaknya.

⁸There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

⁹Tetapi dialah satu-satunya merpatiku, idam-idamanku, satu-satunya anak ibunya, anak kesayangan bagi yang melahirkannya; puteri-puteri melihatnya dan menyebutnya bahagia, permaisuri-permaisuri dan selir-selir memujinya.

⁹My dove, my perfect one, is the only one, the only one of her mother, pure to her who bore her. The young women saw her and called her blessed; the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.

¹⁰"Siapakah dia yang muncul laksana fajar merekah, indah bagaikan bulan purnama, bercahaya bagaikan surya, dahsyat seperti bala tentara dengan panji-panjinya?"

¹⁰"Who is this who looks down like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, awesome as an army with banners?"

¹¹Ke kebun kenari aku turun melihat kuntum-kuntum di lembah, melihat apakah pohon anggur berkuncup dan pohon-pohon delima berbunga.

¹¹I went down to the nut orchard to look at the blossoms of the valley, to see whether the vines had budded, whether the pomegranates were in bloom.

¹²Tak sadar diri aku; kerinduanku menempatkan aku di atas kereta orang bangsawan.

¹²Before I was aware, my desire set me among the chariots of my kinsman, a prince.

¹³Kembalilah, kembalilah, ya gadis Sulam, kembalilah, kembalilah, supaya kami dapat melihat engkau! Mengapa kamu senang melihat gadis Sulam itu seperti melihat tari-tarian perang?

¹³Return, return, O Shulammite, return, return, that we may look upon you.Why should you look upon the Shulammite, as upon a dance before two armies?
