Song Of Songs 8 — NIV vs CUVS

Verse 1

If only you were to me like a brother,
    who was nursed at my mother’s breasts!
Then, if I found you outside,
    I would kiss you,
    and no one would despise me.

巴不得你像我的兄弟，像吃我母亲奶的兄弟；我在外头遇见你就与你亲嘴，谁也不轻看我。

Verse 2

I would lead you
    and bring you to my mother’s house—
    she who has taught me.
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
    the nectar of my pomegranates.

我必引导你，领你进我母亲的家；我可以领受教训，也就使你喝石榴汁酿的香酒。

His left arm is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.

Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.

leaning on her beloved?

Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.

Verse 6

Place me like a seal over your heart,
    like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
    its jealousy^[a] unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
    like a mighty flame.^[b]

求你将我放在你心上如印记，带在你臂上如戳记。因为爱情如死之坚强，嫉恨如阴间之残忍；所发的电光是火焰的电光，是耶和华的烈焰。

Many waters cannot quench love;
    rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
    all the wealth of one’s house for love,
    it^[c] would be utterly scorned.
