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。

[SHE] Upon my couch, in the night-time, sought I the beloved of my soul, —I sought him, but 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。

Come! I must arise, and go about in the city, In the paths and in the broadways, I must seek the beloved of my soul, —I sought him, but 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 round in the city, found me, The beloved of my soul, have ye seen?

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。

Scarcely had I passed from them, when I found the beloved of my soul, —I caught him, and would not let him go, until that I had brought him into the house of my mother, 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。

[HE] I adjure you ye, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by the hinds of the field, —That ye wake not, nor arouse, the dear love until she 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？

[THEY] Who is this, coming up out of the wilderness, like pillars of smoke, —with perfume of myrrh, and frankincense, besides all the aromatic powder 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；

Lo! his couch,’tis Solomon’s own, Threescore heroes, around it, —of the heroes of Israel:

8 手都持刀，善于争战， 腰间佩刀，防备夜间有惊慌。

All of them, grasping the sword, trained for war, —every man, with his sword upon his thigh, because of dread, in the night-time.

9 所罗门王用黎巴嫩木 为自己制造一乘华轿。

A palanquin, King Solomon made himself, of the trees 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。

The supports thereof, made he of silver, the couch thereof, of gold, the seat thereof, of purple, —the midst thereof, hath an inlay of love from 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 and gaze, ye daughters of Zion, upon King Solomon, —wearing the crown, wherewith his mother, crowned him, in the day of his marriage, and in the day of his heart gladness.
