نَشِيد الأنشاد 3
| (الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): طَوَالَ اللَّيْلِ عَلَى مَضْجَعِي طَلَبْتُ بِشَوْقٍ مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ نَفْسِي، فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ. | ١ 1 |
On my couch by night, I sought him whom my soul hath loved; I sought him, and I found him not!
| سَأَنْهَضُ الآنَ أَطُوفُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَتَجَوَّلُ فِي شَوَارِعِهَا وَسَاحَاتِهَا، أَلْتَمِسُ مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ نَفْسِي. وَهَكَذَا رُحْتُ أَلْتَمِسُهُ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ. | ٢ 2 |
— Pray, let me rise, and go round the city, In the streets and in the broad places, I seek him whom my soul hath loved! — I sought him, and I found him not.
| وَعَثَرَ عَلَيَّ الْحُرَّاسُ الْمُتَجَوِّلُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، فَسَأَلْتُ: أَشَاهَدْتُمْ مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ نَفْسِي؟ | ٣ 3 |
The watchmen have found me, (Who are going round about the city), 'Him whom my soul have loved saw ye?'
| وَمَا كِدْتُ أَتَجَاوَزُهُمْ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ نَفْسِي، فَتَشَبَّثْتُ بِهِ وَلَمْ أُطْلِقْهُ حَتَّى أَدْخَلْتُهُ بَيْتَ أُمِّي وَمُخْدَعَ مَنْ حَمَلَتْ بِي. | ٤ 4 |
But a little I passed on from them, Till I found him whom my soul hath loved! I seized him, and let him not go, Till I brought him in unto the house of my mother — And the chamber of her that conceived me.
| أَسْتَحْلِفُكُنَّ يَا بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِظِبَاءِ الصَّحْرَاءِ وَأَيَائِلِهَا أَلّا تُوْقِظْنَ أَوْ تُنَبِّهْنَ الْحَبِيبَ حَتَّى يَشَاءَ. | ٥ 5 |
I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till she please!
| (نَشِيدُ بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ): مَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّاعِدَةُ مِنَ الْقَفْرِ كَأَعْمِدَةٍ مِنْ دُخَانٍ مُعَطَّرَةٍ بِالْمُرِّ وَاللُّبَانِ وَكُلِّ عُطُورِ التَّاجِرِ؟ | ٦ 6 |
Who [is] this coming up from the wilderness, Like palm-trees of smoke, Perfumed [with] myrrh and frankincense, From every powder of the merchant?
| هَا هِيَ أَرِيكَةُ سُلَيْمَانَ يَحِفُّ بِهِ سِتُّونَ بَطَلاً مِنْ جَبَابِرَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ 7 |
Lo, his couch, that [is] Solomon's, Sixty mighty ones [are] around it, Of the mighty of Israel,
| جَمِيعُهُمْ مُدَجَّجُونَ بِالسُّيُوفِ مُتَمَرِّسُونَ عَلَى الْحَربِ، تَتَدَلَّى سُيُوفُهُمْ عَلَى جَوَانِبِهِمْ تَأَهُّباً لأَهْوَالِ اللَّيْلِ. | ٨ 8 |
All of them holding sword, taught of battle, Each his sword by his thigh, for fear at night.
| قَدْ صَنَعَ الْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ كُرْسِيَّ الْعَرْشِ مِنْ خَشَبِ لُبْنَانَ. | ٩ 9 |
A palanquin king Solomon made for himself, Of the wood of Lebanon,
| وَصَنَعَ أَعْمِدَتَهُ فِضَّةً وَمُتَّكَأَهُ ذَهَباً وَمَقْعَدَهُ أُرْجُوَاناً، وَغِطَاؤُهْ الدَّاخِلِيُّ رَصَّعَتْهُ بَنَاتُ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَحَبَّةً. | ١٠ 10 |
Its pillars he made of silver, Its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, Its midst lined [with] love, By the daughters of Jerusalem.
| (الْمَحْبُوبَةُ): اُخْرُجْنَ يَا بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ وَانْظُرْنَ الْمَلِكَ سُلَيْمَانَ مُكَلَّلاً بِالتَّاجِ الَّذِي تَوَّجَتْهُ بِهِ أَمُّهُ فِي يَوْمِ عُرْسِهِ، فِي يَوْمِ بَهَجَةِ قَلْبِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Go forth, and look, ye daughters of Zion, On king Solomon, with the crown, With which his mother crowned him, In the day of his espousals, And in the day of the joy of his heart!
