Pjesma nad pjesmama 8

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 O, da si mi brat, da si sisao prsa majke moje, našla bih te vani, poljubila bih te i nitko me zato ne bi prezirao.	1 Who shall give thee to me for my brother, sucking the breasts of my mother, that I may find thee without, and kiss thee, and now no man may despise me?
2 Povela bih te i uvela u kuću majke svoje koja me odgojila, pojila bih te najboljim vinom i sokom od mogranja.	2 I will take hold of thee, and bring thee Into my mother's house: there thou shalt teach me, and I will give thee a cup of spiced wine and new wine of my pomegranates.
3 Njegova mi je lijeva ruka pod glavom, a desnom me grli.	3 His left hand under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
4 Zaklinjem vas, kćeri jeruzalemske, ne budite, ne budite ljubav moju, dok sama ne bude htjela!	4 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor awake my love till she please.
5 Tko je ta što dolazi iz pustinje, naslonjena na dragoga svoga? Probudio sam te pod jabukom gdje te mati rodila, gdje te na svijet dala roditeljka tvoja.	5 Who is this that cometh up from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I raised thee up: there thy mother was corrupted, there she was defloured that bore thee.
6 Stavi me kao znak na srce, kao pečat na ruku svoju, jer ljubav je jaka kao smrt, a ljubomora tvrda kao grob. Žar je njezin žar vatre i plamena Jahvina.	6 Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire and flames.
7 Mnoge vode ne mogu ugasiti ljubav niti je rijeke potopiti. Da netko daje za ljubav sve što u kući ima, taj bi navukao prezir na sebe.	7 Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall despise it as nothing.
8 Imamo malu sestru koja još nema grudi, što ćemo činiti sa svojom sestrom kad bude riječ o njoj?	8 Our sister is little, and hath no breasts. What shall we do to our sister in the day when she is to be spoken to?
9 Ako bude poput zida, sagradit ćemo na njemu krunište od srebra; ako bude poput vratâ, utvrdit ćemo ih cedrovim daskama.	9 If she be a wall: let us build upon it bulwarks of silver: if she be a door, let us join it together with boards or cedar.
10 Ja sam zid i grudi su moje kule: tako postadoh u očima njegovim kao ona što nađe smirenje.	10 I am a wall: and my breasts are as a tower since I am become in his presence as one finding peace.
11 Salomon ima vinograd u Baal Hamonu, dao ga je čuvarima i svaki mora donijeti za urod tisuću srebrnjaka.	11 The peaceable had a vineyard, in that which hath people: he let out the same to keepers, every man bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver.
12 Moj vinograd je preda mnom: tebi, Salomone, tisuća, a dvjesta onima što čuvaju plodove.	12 My vineyard is before me. A thousand are for thee, the peaceable, and two hundred for them that keep the fruit thereof.
13 O ti, koja boraviš u vrtovima, drugovi slušaju glas tvoj, daj da ga i ja čujem!	13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the friends hearken: make me hear thy voice.
14 Pohitaj, mili moj, budi kao srna i kao jelenče na gorama mirisnim!	14 Flee away, O my beloved, and be like to the roe, and to the young hart upon the mountains of aromatical spices.
