아가 1

1솔로몬의 아가라 2내게 입맞추기를 원하니 네 사랑이 포도주보다 나음이로구나 3네 기름이 향기로워 아름답고 네 이름이 쏟은 향기름 같으므로 처녀들이 너를 사랑하는구나 4왕이 나를 침궁으로 이끌어 들이시니 너는 나를 인도하라 우리가 너를 따라 달려가리라 우리가 너를 인하여 기뻐하며 즐거워하니 네 사랑이 포도주에서 지남이라 처녀들이 너를 사랑함이 마땅하니라 5예루살렘 여자들아 내가 비록 검으나 아름다우니 게달의 장막 같을지라도 솔로몬의 휘장과도 같구나 6내가 일광에 쬐어서 거무스름할지라도 흘겨보지 말 것은 내 어미의 아들들이 나를 노하여 포도원지기를 삼았음이라 나의 포도원은 내가 지키지 못하였구나 7내 마음에 사랑하는 자야 너의 양떼 먹이는 곳과 오정에 쉬게 하는 곳을 내게 고하라 내가 네 동무 양떼 곁에서 어찌 얼굴을 가리운 자 같이 되랴 8여인 중에 어여쁜 자야 네가 알지 못하겠거든 양떼의 발자취를 따라 목자들의 장막 곁에서 너의 염소 새끼를 먹일지니라 9내 사랑아 내가 너를 바로의 병거의 준마에 비하였구나 10네 두 뺨은 땋은 머리털로, 네 목은 구슬 꿰미로 아름답구나 11우리가 너를 위하여 금사슬을 은을 박아 만들리라 12왕이 상에 앉았을 때에 나의 나도 기름이 향기를 토하였구나 13나의 사랑하는 자는 내 품 가운데 몰약 향낭이요 14나의 사랑하는 자는 내게 엔게디 포도원의 고벨화 송이로구나 15내 사랑아 너는 어여쁘고 어여쁘다 네 눈이 비둘기 같구나 16나의 사랑하는 자야 너는 어여쁘고 화창하다 우리의 침상은 푸르고 17우리 집은 백향목 들보, 잣나무 석가래로구나

1The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s. Beloved 2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine. 3Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you. 4Take me away with you. Let us hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are right to love you. 5I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains. 6Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard. 7Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; For why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions? Lover 8If you don’t know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents. 9I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots. 10Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. 11We will make you earrings of gold, with studs of silver. Beloved 12While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance. 13My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, that lies between my breasts. 14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi. Lover 15Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves. Beloved 16Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant. Lover 17The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.

1Het Hooglied, hetwelk van Salomo is. 2Hij kusse mij met de kussen Zijns monds; want Uw uitnemende liefde is beter dan wijn. 3Uw olien zijn goed tot reuk, Uw naam is een olie, die uitgestort wordt; daarom hebben U de maagden lief. 4Trek mij, wij zullen U nalopen! De Koning heeft mij gebracht in Zijn binnenkameren; wij zullen ons verheugen en in U verblijden; wij zullen Uw uitnemende liefde vermelden, meer dan den wijn; de oprechten hebben U lief. 5Ik ben zwart, doch liefelijk (gij dochteren van Jeruzalem!), gelijk de tenten van Kedar, gelijk de gordijnen van Salomo. 6Ziet mij niet aan, dat ik zwartachtig ben, omdat mij de zon heeft beschenen; de kinderen mijner moeder waren tegen mij ontstoken, zij hebben mij gezet tot een hoederin der wijngaarden. Mijn wijngaard, dien ik heb, heb ik niet gehoed. 7Zeg mij aan, Gij, Dien mijn ziel liefheeft, waar Gij weidt, waar Gij de kudde legert in den middag; want waarom zou ik zijn als een, die zich bedekt bij de kudden Uwer metgezellen? 8Indien gij het niet weet, o gij schoonste onder de vrouwen! zo ga uit op de voetstappen der schapen, en weid uw geiten bij de woningen der herderen. 9Mijn vriendin! Ik vergelijk u bij de paarden aan de wagens van Farao. 10Uw wangen zijn liefelijk in de spangen, uw hals in de parelsnoeren. 11Wij zullen u gouden spangen maken, met zilveren stipjes. 12Terwijl de Koning aan Zijn ronde tafel is, geeft mijn nardus zijn reuk. 13Mijn Liefste is mij een bundeltje mirre, dat tussen mijn borsten vernacht. 14Mijn Liefste is mij een tros van Cyprus, in de wijngaarden van En-gedi. 15Zie, gij zijt schoon, Mijn vriendin! Zie, gij zijt schoon; uw ogen zijn duiven ogen. 16Zie, gij zijt schoon, mijn Liefste, ja, liefelijk; ook groent onze bedstede. 17De balken onzer huizen zijn cederen, onze galerijen zijn cypressen.
