Song of Solomon 7
Lexham English Bible
Solomon’s Praise of His Dancing Maiden
7 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
O royal princess![a]
The curves of your thighs[b] are like jewels,[c]
the work of the hands of a craftsman.
2 Your navel is a round wine-mixing bowl[d]
that does not lack mixed[e] wine!
Your belly is a heap of wheat
encircled with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory;
your eyes are pools in Heshbon at the gate of Beth Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
looking out over Damascus.[f]
5 Your head crowns you like Carmel;[g][h]
the flowing locks of your head are like purple tapestry;[i]
a king is held captive in the tresses!
6 How beautiful you are and how pleasant,
O loved one in the delights!
7 Your stature[j] is like the palm tree,
and your breasts are like clusters.
8 I say, “I will climb up the palm tree;
I will lay hold of its fruit clusters.”
Let your breasts be pleasing like clusters of the vine
and the scent of your breath like the apples.
9 Your palate is like the best wine that goes down for my beloved,
smoothly gliding over my lips and teeth.[k]
Mutual Possession Refrain
Rendezvous in the Countryside
11 Come, my beloved, let us go out to the countryside;[n]
let us spend the night[o] in the villages.
12 Let us rise early to go[p] to the vineyards;
let us see whether the vine has budded,[q]
whether the grape blossom has opened,
and whether the pomegranates are in bloom;[r]
there I will give my love to you.
13 The mandrakes give off their fragrance,
and over our doorway is every kind of delicious fruit;[s]
both fresh and dried fruit I have stored up[t] for you, O my beloved.

雅歌 7
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
再称赞佳偶丰姿秀丽
7 王女啊！
你的脚在鞋中多么美丽；
你大腿的曲线美如珠玉，
是巧匠手里的杰作。（本节在《马索拉文本》为7:2）
2 你的肚脐如圆杯，
永不缺乏调和的酒；
你的肚腹像一堆麦子，
周围有百合花。
3 你的两乳像一对小鹿，
像双生的母羚羊。
4 你的颈项如象牙塔；
你的眼像希实本城内，
巴特．拉并门旁的水池；
你的鼻子好象黎巴嫩的高塔，
居高临下朝着大马士革。
5 你的头在你身上像迦密山；
你头上的秀发是紫黑色的；
君王的心竟给这些发绺系住了。
6 亲爱的啊！使人喜悦的啊！
你多么美丽，多么可爱。
7 你的身量像一棵棕树；
你的两乳如树上累累的果子。
8 我说：“我要爬上这棵棕树，
我要抓住它的果子。”
愿你的两乳如一挂一挂的葡萄串；
你鼻子的香气如苹果芬芳；
9 你的口像美酒。
书拉密女说：“直流入我良人的口里，
轻轻流过唇齿之间（按照《马索拉文本》，“唇齿之间”作“睡觉人的唇”；现参照《七十士译本》等古译本翻译）。”
10 我属我的良人，
他也恋慕我。
11 我的良人哪！来吧！让我们往田间去；
让我们在凤仙花丛中过夜吧。
12 我们早晨起来往葡萄园去，
去看葡萄树发芽没有，
花朵开放没有；
也看看石榴开花没有。
我在那里要把我的爱给你。
13 风茄正在散发香气；
在我们的门旁有各样佳美的果子，
新的旧的都有。
我的良人哪，这些都是我为你保存的。
