雅歌 3

1 我夜间躺卧在床上， 寻找我心所爱的； 我寻找他，却寻不见。

By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

2 我说：我要起来，游行城中， 在街市上，在宽阔处， 寻找我心所爱的。 我寻找他，却寻不见。

I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

3 城中巡逻看守的人遇见我； 我问他们：你们看见我心所爱的没有？

The watchmen that go about the city found me: [to whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

4 我刚离开他们就遇见我心所爱的。 我拉住他，不容他走， 领他入我母家， 到怀我者的内室。

[It was] but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

5 耶路撒冷的众女子啊， 我指着羚羊或田野的母鹿嘱咐你们： 不要惊动、不要叫醒我所亲爱的， 等他自己情愿。

I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please.

6 那从旷野上来、形状如烟柱、 以没药和乳香并商人各样香粉薰的是谁呢？

Who [is] this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

7 看哪，是所罗门的轿； 四围有六十个勇士， 都是以色列中的勇士；

Behold his bed, which [is] Solomon’s; threescore valiant men [are] about it, of the valiant of Israel.

8 手都持刀，善于争战， 腰间佩刀，防备夜间有惊慌。

They all hold swords, [being] expert in war: every man [hath] his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

9 所罗门王用黎巴嫩木 为自己制造一乘华轿。

King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.

10 轿柱是用银做的， 轿底是用金做的； 坐垫是紫色的， 其中所铺的乃耶路撒冷众女子的爱情。

He made the pillars thereof [of] silver, the bottom thereof [of] gold, the covering of it [of] purple, the midst thereof being paved [with] love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

11 锡安的众女子啊， 你们出去观看所罗门王！ 头戴冠冕，就是在他婚筵的日子、 心中喜乐的时候，他母亲给他戴上的。

Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
