Before the dawn breezes blow and the night shadows flee, return to me, my love, like a gazelle or a young stag on the rugged mountains.

我的良人哪，求你等到天起凉风、日影飞去的时候，你要转回，好像羚羊，或像小鹿在比特山上。

我的良人哪，等到天起凉风、日影飞去的时候，愿你归回，像羚羊，像小鹿，在崎岖的山上。

我的良人哪，等到天起凉风、日影飞去的时候，愿你归回，像羚羊，像小鹿，在崎岖的山上。

我的良人啊，凉风吹起、日影飞逝的时候，但愿你像比特山的羚羊和小鹿一样快快回来。

我的良人啊！等到天起凉风，日影消逝的时候，愿你归来，好像崎岖山上的羚羊或是小鹿。

我的良人啊！等到天起涼風，日影消逝的時候，願你歸來，好像崎嶇山上的羚羊或是小鹿。

我的愛人哪，求你來回跳躍，好比瞪羚羊或小鹿仔在有裂罅的山嶺上，直到天吹涼風、日影飛去時候。

我所愛者、迨涼風起、日影逝時、尚其轉而來歸、如麞如鹿、在於溪峽、

夫子我所眷愛、譬彼麀鹿、遊於庇得之山、曷歸曷歸、待夕已過、待旦已明、然後相離。

我良人乎、我願爾歸、待風涼氣爽、日影已逝、日影已逝或作日昃影長爾必如獐如小鹿、越層巒叠嶂之山、層巒叠嶂之山或作比特之山

Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the rugged hills.

Until the day begins and the shadows fade away, turn to me, my love. Be like an antelope or like a young deer on the rocky hills.

Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle or a young stag on cleft mountains.

Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, turn around, my love, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the divided mountains.

Until the cool of the day, when the shadows flee, Turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle Or a young stag on the mountains of Bether.”

( TO HER BELOVED): Until the day breaks And the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, And be like a gazelle Or a young stag Upon the mountains of Bether.

Until the dawn arrives and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved– be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountain gorges.

Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.

Before the dawn breezes blow and the night shadows flee, I will hurry to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.

The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living.

They serve in a system of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning:“ Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.”

Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,

Come away, my love! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.

Ah, I hear my lover coming! He is leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills.My lover is like a swift gazelle or a young stag. Look, there he is behind the wall, looking through the window, peering into the room.

The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.

Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place— until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts.
