Song of Solomon

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

2As a 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,his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4He brought me to the banquet hall.His banner over me is love.

5Strengthen me with raisins,refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love.

6His left hand is under my head.His right hand embraces me.

7I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.

8The voice of my beloved!Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.

9My beloved is like a roe or a young deer.Behold, he stands behind our wall!He looks in at the windows.He glances through the lattice.

10My beloved spoke, and said to me,“Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.

11For behold, the winter is past.The rain is over and gone.

12The flowers appear on the earth.The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

13The fig tree ripens her green figs.The vines are in blossom. They give out their fragrance.Arise, my love, my beautiful one,and come away.”

14My dove in the clefts of the rock,in the hiding places of the mountainside, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.

15Catch for us the foxes,the little foxes that plunder the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.

16My beloved is mine, and I am his.He browses among the lilies.

17Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on 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 !
