Song of Solomon

1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

6His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

7I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

8¶ The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

9My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

10My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

11For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

12The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

13The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

14¶ O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

15Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

16¶ My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

17Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

1là bông huệ thắm hồng trong thung lũng.

2có khác gì cánh huệ giữa bụi gai.

3và hoa trái của chàng ngọt lịm trong miệng tôi.

4đã thắng tôi nhờ sức mạnh tình yêu.

5cho tôi táo để tôi được bồi dưỡng, bởi vì tôi đã ốm tương tư.

6đưa tay phải ghì chặt lấy tôi.

10người đẹp của anh, hãy ra đây nào !

11mùa mưa đã dứt, đã xa lắm rồi.

12Tiếng chim gáy văng vẳng trên khắp đồng quê ta.

13người đẹp của anh, hãy ra đây nào !

14vì tiếng em ngọt ngào và mặt em duyên dáng.”

15lũ chồn con phá phách vườn nho, ngay giữa mùa hoa nở.

16Giữa những khóm huệ thơm, chàng cho chiên gặm cỏ.

17hãy làm linh dương, làm nai nhỏ trên dãy núi Be-the !
