8:1

Quis mihi det te fratrem meum, sugentem ubera matris meae, ut inveniam te foris, et deosculer te, et jam me nemo despiciat ?

Oh that you were like a brother to me, / Who nursed at my mothers breasts! / If I found you outside, I would kiss you, / And none would despise me.

哦，巴不得你像我的兄弟，像喫我母親奶的兄弟！我在外頭遇見你就與你親嘴，誰也不輕看我。

8:2

Apprehendam te, et ducam in domum matris meae : ibi me docebis, et dabo tibi poculum ex vino condito, et mustum malorum granatorum meorum.

I would lead you and bring you / Into my mothers house, / Who has instructed me; / I would make you drink spiced wine / From the juice of my pomegranate.

我必引導你，領你進我母親的家；我領受了她的教訓；我要使你喝石榴汁釀的香酒。

8:3

Laeva ejus sub capite meo, et dextera illius amplexabitur me.

His left hand would be under my head, / And his right hand would embrace me.

他的左手必在我頭下，他的右手必將我抱住。

8:4

Adjuro vos, filiae Jerusalem, ne suscitetis, neque evigilare faciatis dilectam, donec ipsa velit.

I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, / Do not rouse up or awaken my love / Until she pleases.

耶路撒冷的眾女子阿，我鄭重的囑咐你們，不要驚動，不要叫醒我所愛的，等她自己情願。

8:5

Quae est ista quae ascendit de deserto, deliciis affluens, innixa super dilectum suum ? Sub arbore malo suscitavi te ; ibi corrupta est mater tua, ibi violata est genitrix tua.

Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, / Leaning on her beloved? / I awakened you under the apple tree: / There your mother was in labor with you; / There she was in labor and brought you forth.

那從曠野上來，靠著她良人的是誰呢？我在蘋果樹下叫醒你：你母親在那裏為你劬勞；生你的在那裏為你劬勞。

8:6

Pone me ut signaculum super cor tuum, ut signaculum super brachium tuum, quia fortis est ut mors dilectio, dura sicut infernus aemulatio : lampades ejus lampades ignis atque flammarum.

Set me as a seal on your heart, / As a seal on your arm; / For love is as strong as death, / Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol; / Its flashes are the flashes of fire, / A flame of Jehovah.

求你將我放在你心上如印記，帶在你臂上如戳記；因為愛如死之堅強，嫉妒如陰間之殘忍；所閃的光是火的閃光，是耶和華的烈焰。

8:7

Aquae multae non potuerunt extinguere caritatem, nec flumina obruent illam. Si dederit homo omnem substantiam domus suae pro dilectione, quasi nihil despiciet eam.

Many waters cannot quench love, / Nor do floods drown it. / If a man gave all the substance of his house for love, / It would be utterly despised.

這愛，眾水不能熄滅，洪水也不能淹沒。若有人拿家中所有的財寶要換這愛，就全被藐視。

8:8

Soror nostra parva, et ubera non habet ; quid faciemus sorori nostrae in die quando alloquenda est ?

We have a little sister, / And she has no breasts: / What shall we do for our sister / On the day when she is spoken for?

我們有一小妹；她的兩乳尚未長成：當我們的妹妹被人題親的日子，我們當為她怎樣辦理？

8:9

Si murus est, aedificemus super eum propugnacula argentea ; si ostium est, compingamus illud tabulis cedrinis.

If she is a wall, / We will build on her a battlement of silver; / And if she is a door, / We will enclose her with boards of cedar.

她若是牆，我們要在其上建造銀的城垛；她若是門，我們要用香柏木板圍護她。
