So 7:1-13.
繁體中文
英語原文
So 7:1-13.
1. thy feet--rather, "thy goings"
(Ps 17:5).
Evident allusion to
Isa 52:7:
"How beautiful . . . are the feet of him . . . that publisheth peace" (Shulamite,
So 6:13).
shoes--Sandals are richly jewelled in the East
(Lu 15:22; Eph 6:15).
She is evidently "on the mountains," whither she was wafted
(So 6:12),
above the daughters of Jerusalem, who therefore portray her feet first.
daughter--of God the Father, with whom Jesus Christ is one
(Mt 5:9),
"children of (the) God" (of peace), equivalent to Shulamite
(Ps 45:10-15; 2Co 6:18),
as well as bride of Jesus Christ.
prince's--therefore princely herself, freely giving the word of life to others, not sparing her "feet," as in
So 5:3; Ex 12:11.
To act on the offensive is defensive to ourselves.
joints--rather, "the rounding"; the full graceful curve of the hips in the female figure; like the rounding of a necklace (as the Hebrew for "jewels" means). Compare with the English Version,
Eph 4:13-16; Col 2:19.
Or, applying it to the girdle binding together the robes round the hips
(Eph 6:14).
cunning workman--
(Ps 139:14-16; Eph 2:10, 22; 5:29, 30, 32).

2. 肚臍——更當譯作“腰帶扣”，因位於其下的身體部位而得名。“鞋”
(So 7:1)
表明衣飾在所有通常穿著衣物的部位都是全書預設的。她是“為新郎妝飾整齊的新婦”；“不體面的肢體”越發加以裝飾
(1Co 12:23)。
腰帶扣鑲著紅寶石，猶如盛調和香料之酒的“圓杯”（crater，即調酒器）（不是“酒汁”，
So 8:2; Isa 5:22)。
這就是“在我血中所立的新約”的酒
(Lu 22:20)。
由它所致的屬靈陶醉，曾被人誤以為是新酒所致
(Ac 2:13-17; Eph 5:18)。
肚腹——即其上的衣袍。正如
Ps 45:13, 14
中新婦的衣飾由金線和繡花組成，照樣此處是金黃色的“麥子”和潔白的“百合花”。成熟的穀物，作為豐收歡樂的標記，慣常用百合花裝飾；照樣那累積的屬靈糧食
(Joh 6:35; 12:24)，
沒有糠秕，不以荊棘為籬，卻以百合花（“信徒”，
So 2:2; Ac 2:46, 47; 5:13, 14，
共同分享之）使之悅目。與那令人振奮的酒杯相連
(Zec 9:17)，
正如此處。
英語原文
2. navel--rather, "girdle-clasp," called from the part of the person underneath. The "shoes"
(So 7:1)
prove that dress is throughout presupposed on all parts where it is usually worn. She is "a bride adorned for her husband"; the "uncomely parts," being most adorned
(1Co 12:23).
The girdle-clasp was adorned with red rubies resembling the "round goblet" (crater or mixer) of spice-mixed wine (not "liquor,"
So 8:2; Isa 5:22).
The wine of the "New Testament in His blood"
(Lu 22:20).
The spiritual exhilaration by it was mistaken for that caused by new wine
(Ac 2:13-17; Eph 5:18).
belly--that is, the vesture on it. As in
Ps 45:13, 14,
gold and needlework compose the bride's attire, so golden-colored "wheat" and white "lilies" here. The ripe grain, in token of harvest joy, used to be decorated with lilies; so the accumulated spiritual food
(Joh 6:35; 12:24),
free from chaff, not fenced with thorns, but made attractive by lilies ("believers,"
So 2:2; Ac 2:46, 47; 5:13, 14,
in common partaking of it). Associated with the exhilarating wine cup
(Zec 9:17),
as here.

3. 耶路撒冷的眾女子用與耶穌基督在
So 4:5
中相同的詞語來描述她。
天地兩方的見證彼此吻合。
雙生——信心與愛心。
英語原文
3. The daughters of Jerusalem describe her in the same terms as Jesus Christ in
So 4:5.
The testimonies of heaven and earth coincide.
twins--faith and love.

4. 象牙塔——在
So 4:4，
耶穌基督說：“大衛的塔，為軍械庫而建。”祂的描述以力量和得勝為主旨；此處則以秀美和打磨的潔白為主旨；對比
So 1:5。
水池——為伯克哈特（BURCKHARDT）所見，清澈
(Re 22:1)，
深邃、寧靜而豐滿
(1Co 2:10, 15)。
希實本——約旦河東，亞摩利王西宏的居所
(Nu 21:25
等），後來為迦得人所據。
拔拉賓——“多民之女”；一處擁擠的大道。她的眼睛
(So 4:1)
被耶穌基督稱為“鴿子眼”，仰望等候祂。但此處，在耶路撒冷的眾女子眼中，它們被比作一片平靜的湖水。她甚至在群眾之中也安息平靜
(Pr 8:2; Joh 16:33)。
鼻——或作臉。
利巴嫩塔——一座邊境堡壘，監視著懷有敵意的大馬士革。她對耶穌基督的面容滿懷聖潔的羞愧（參
So 4:1；
So 4:3
的註釋）；對屬靈的仇敵則如守望樓
(Hab 2:1; Mr 13:37; Ac 4:13)，
高聳入雲，使她不是從地仰望天，而是從天俯瞰地。若保留“鼻”的譯法，則指對屬靈香氣之分辨。
英語原文
4. tower of ivory--In
So 4:4,
Jesus Christ saith, "a tower of David builded for an armory." Strength and conquest are the main thought in His description; here, beauty and polished whiteness; contrast
So 1:5.
fishpools--seen by BURCKHARDT, clear
(Re 22:1),
deep, quiet, and full
(1Co 2:10, 15).
Heshbon--east of Jordan, residence of the Amorite king, Sihon
(Nu 21:25,
&c.), afterwards held by Gad.
Bath-rabbim--"daughter of a multitude"; a crowded thoroughfare. Her eyes
(So 4:1)
are called by Jesus Christ, "doves' eyes," waiting on Him. But here, looked on by the daughters or Jerusalem, they are compared to a placid lake. She is calm even amidst the crowd
(Pr 8:2; Joh 16:33).
nose--or, face.
tower of Lebanon--a border-fortress, watching the hostile Damascus. Towards Jesus Christ her face was full of holy shame (see on
So 4:1;
So 4:3);
towards spiritual foes, like a watchtower
(Hab 2:1; Mr 13:37; Ac 4:13),
elevated, so that she looks not up from earth to heaven, but down from heaven to earth. If we retain "nose," discernment of spiritual fragrance is meant.

5. 在你身上——頭飾“在”她頭上。
迦密——意為一片耕作精良的田
(Isa 35:2)。
在
So 5:15
祂被比作雄偉的利巴嫩；她此處則被比作結果子的迦密。她的頭飾，即冠冕
(2Ti 4:8; 1Pe 5:4)。
也是她所贏得的靈魂
(1Th 2:19, 20)，
是她結果子的標記。
紫色——王權
(Re 1:6)。
應用於頭髮時，它表示那在東方備受讚賞的黑髮（字面作“下垂的頭髮”）的光澤華美
(So 4:1)。
王將她的頭髮比作山羊的花發（她順服的標記），耶路撒冷的眾女子卻將其比作王室的紫。
遊廊——（參
So 1:17，
旁註；
Re 21:3)。
但 MAURER 此處譯作“飄垂的髮捲”；王被這些髮捲如同被“繩索”（LEE 據阿拉伯文如此譯）所“繫住”
(So 6:5; Pr 6:25)。
她那紫色殉道者冠冕尤其使王傾心，這冠冕從祂的遊廊中顯出
(Ac 7:55, 56)。
正如參孫的力量在於他的頭髮
(Jud 16:17)。
此處眾女子頭一次親自看見了王。
英語原文
5. upon thee--the headdress "upon" her.
Carmel--signifying a well-cultivated field
(Isa 35:2).
In
So 5:15
He is compared to majestic Lebanon; she here, to fruitful Carmel. Her headdress, or crown
(2Ti 4:8; 1Pe 5:4).
Also the souls won by her
(1Th 2:19, 20),
a token of her fruitfulness.
purple--royalty
(Re 1:6).
As applied to hair, it expresses the glossy splendor of black hair (literally, "pendulous hair") so much admired in the East
(So 4:1).
While the King compares her hair to the flowering hair of goats (the token of her subjection), the daughters of Jerusalem compare it to royal purple.
galleries--(so
So 1:17,
Margin;
Re 21:3).
But MAURER translates here, "flowing ringlets"; with these, as with "thongs" (so LEE, from the Arabic translates it) "the King is held" bound
(So 6:5; Pr 6:25).
Her purple crowns of martyrdom especially captivated the King, appearing from His galleries
(Ac 7:55, 56).
As Samson's strength was in his locks
(Jud 16:17).
Here first the daughters see the King themselves.

6. 眾女子進一步靠近教會
(Ac 2:47; 5:13
節末）。愛她是愛祂的第一個標記
(1Jo 5:1
節末）。
俊美——對她們、對王都是迷人的魅力
(So 7:5; Isa 62:4，
“協西巴”〔Hephzi-bah〕）。將來也是如此
(Zep 3:17; Mal 3:12; Re 21:9)。
英語原文
6. Nearer advance of the daughters to the Church
(Ac 2:47; 5:13,
end). Love to her is the first token of love to Him
(1Jo 5:1,
end).
delights--fascinating charms to them and to the King
(So 7:5; Isa 62:4,
Hephzi-bah). Hereafter, too
(Zep 3:17; Mal 3:12; Re 21:9).

7. 棕樹——
(Ps 92:12)。
是附近有水的確據
(Ex 15:27; Joh 7:38)。
累累——並非椰棗的累累，如 MOODY STUART 所想。
So 7:8
的平行“葡萄的累累”，表明此處是葡萄的累累。葡萄樹常常被牽引（稱為“婚配”）在別的樹上。
英語原文
7. palm tree--
(Ps 92:12).
The sure sign of water near
(Ex 15:27; Joh 7:38).
clusters--not of dates, as MOODY STUART thinks. The parallelism
(So 7:8),
"clusters of the vine," shows it is here clusters of grapes. Vines were often trained (termed "wedded") on other trees.

8. 眾女子不再滿足於觀賞，決意要摘取她的果子，儘管這些果子掛得很高。棕樹的樹幹在相當高的部位是光禿的，其累累果實的冠頂在最上端。這是得勝喜樂的象徵
(Joh 12:13)；
將來也是如此
(Re 7:9)。
兩乳——
(Isa 66:11)。
葡萄樹——耶穌基督
(Ho 14:7
節末；
Joh 15:1)。
鼻——即氣息；聖靈由祂——其“口極其甘甜”
(So 5:16)——
吹入她的鼻孔裡。
蘋果——香櫞，來自那棵祂被比作的樹
(So 2:3)。
英語原文
8. The daughters are no longer content to admire, but resolve to lay hold of her fruits, high though these be. The palm stem is bare for a great height, and has its crown of fruit-laden boughs at the summit. It is the symbol of triumphant joy
(Joh 12:13);
so hereafter
(Re 7:9).
breasts--
(Isa 66:11).
the vine--Jesus Christ
(Ho 14:7,
end;
Joh 15:1).
nose--that is, breath; the Holy Ghost breathed into her nostrils by Him, whose "mouth is most sweet"
(So 5:16).
apples--citrons, off the tree to which He is likened
(So 2:3).

上好的酒——福音國度裡那新酒
(Mr 14:25)，
在五旬節傾倒出來
(Ac 2:4, 13, 17)。
為我的良人——
(So 4:10)。
此處眾女子頭一次稱祂為她們的，便與新婦成為一。這些步驟依次是：
(So 1:5)
她們誤斷她
(So 3:11)；
So 5:8，
表達出她們在她重得祂之前可能先尋見祂；
So 5:9

使 . . . 沉睡的說話——
(Isa 35:6; Mr 5:19, 20; Ac 2:47; Eph 5:14)。
耶穌基督頭一件神蹟將水變為“存到如今的好酒”
(Joh 2:10)；
照樣福音使那些在律法之下沉睡將死的人復甦
(Pr 31:6; Ro 7:9, 10, 24, 25; 8:1)。

9. roof of thy mouth--thy voice
(Pr 15:23).
best wine--the new wine of the gospel kingdom
(Mr 14:25),
poured out at Pentecost
(Ac 2:4, 13, 17).
for my beloved--
(So 4:10).
Here first the daughters call Him theirs, and become one with the bride. The steps successively are
(So 1:5)
where they misjudge her
(So 3:11);
So 5:8,
where the possibility of their finding Him, before she regained Him, is expressed;
So 5:9

causing . . . asleep to speak--

Jesus Christ's first miracle turned water into "good wine kept until now"

他戀慕我——強烈的確據。祂如此切慕我們，以致讓我們感受到祂對我們的切慕

(So 2:13)。
但此處她為祂預備各樣新舊果子；並且，她在出去尋找時，盼望與祂在“愛”中相交。“早”暗示立即的熱心。“村莊”暗示離耶路撒冷甚遠。司提反死時，門徒從其中分散，走遍猶太和撒瑪利亞，傳揚這道
(Ac 8:4-25)。
耶穌基督與他們同在，以神蹟印證這道。他們收取耶穌基督所撒種之舊果
(Joh 4:39-42)，
也收取新果。
住宿——為耶穌基督的緣故舍棄家
(Mt 19:29)。
英語原文
11. field--the country. "The tender grape (MAURER translates, flowers) and vines" occurred before
(So 2:13).
But here she prepares for Him all kinds of fruit old and new; also, she anticipates, in going forth to seek them, communion with Him in "loves." "Early" implies immediate earnestness. "The villages" imply distance from Jerusalem. At Stephen's death the disciples were scattered from it through Judea and Samaria, preaching the word
(Ac 8:4-25).
Jesus Christ was with them, confirming the word with miracles. They gathered the old fruits, of which Jesus Christ had sown the seed

門——進入涼亭或夏宮的入口。愛“為自己所愛的人存留”各樣最好的

藉此實際上——雖是不知不覺地——也為自己存留

明顯是影射
Isa 52:7：

So 6:13)。
鞋——在東方，涼鞋上鑲滿珍貴的寶石
(Lu 15:22; Eph 6:15)。
她顯然“在群山之上”，正是她被提起去到那裡
(So 6:12)，
凌駕於耶路撒冷的眾女子之上，因此她們先描繪她的腳。
女兒——神父的女兒，耶穌基督與父原為一
(Mt 5:9)，
“（和平之）神的兒子”，即等於書拉密女
(Ps 45:10-15; 2Co 6:18)，
也是耶穌基督的新婦。
君王——因此她自己也是君尊的，白白地將生命之道分給人，毫不吝惜自己的“腳”，正如
So 5:3; Ex 12:11。
進攻就是對自己最好的防守。
大腿——更當譯作“圓潤”；女性身形中臀部豐滿優美的弧線；如同項鍊的圓潤（希伯來文的“寶石”一詞正有此義）。試將英文欽定譯本與
Eph 4:13-16; Col 2:19
相較。
或可應用於將衣袍束在臀部的腰帶
