Song of Solomon 3
1 On my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.
Di atas ranjangku pada malam hari kucari jantung hatiku. Kucari, tetapi tak kutemui dia.
2 I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and squares. I will seek the one I love. So I sought him but did not find him.
Aku hendak bangun dan berkeliling di kota; di jalan-jalan dan di lapangan-lapangan kucari dia, jantung hatiku. Kucari, tetapi tak kutemui dia.
3 I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city: “Have you seen the one I love?”
Aku ditemui peronda-peronda kota. "Apakah kamu melihat jantung hatiku?"
4 I had just passed them when I found the one I love. I held him and would not let go until I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
Baru saja aku meninggalkan mereka, kutemui jantung hatiku; kupegang dan tak kulepaskan dia, sampai kubawa dia ke rumah ibuku, ke kamar orang yang melahirkan aku.
5 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
Kusumpahi kamu, puteri-puteri Yerusalem, demi kijang-kijang atau demi rusa-rusa betina di padang: jangan kamu membangkitkan dan menggerakkan cinta sebelum diingininya!
6 Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, scented with myrrh and frankincense from all the spices of the merchant?
Apakah itu yang membubung dari padang gurun seperti gumpalan-gumpalan asap tersaput dengan harum mur dan kemenyan dan bau segala macam serbuk wangi dari pedagang?
7 Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty of the mightiest men of Israel.
Lihat, itulah joli Salomo, dikelilingi oleh enam puluh pahlawan dari antara pahlawan-pahlawan Israel.
8 All are skilled with the sword, experienced in warfare. Each has his sword at his side prepared for the terror of the night.
Semua membawa pedang, terlatih dalam perang, masing-masing dengan pedang pada pinggang karena kedahsyatan malam.
9 King Solomon has made his carriage out of the timber of Lebanon.
Raja Salomo membuat bagi dirinya suatu tandu dari kayu Libanon.
10 He has made its posts of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple fabric. Its interior is inlaid with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.
Tiang-tiangnya dibuatnya dari perak, sandarannya dari emas, tempat duduknya berwarna ungu, bagian dalamnya dihiasi dengan kayu arang. Hai puteri-puteri Yerusalem,
11 Come out, O daughters of Zion, and gaze at King Solomon, wearing the crown his mother bestowed on the day of his wedding— the day of his heart’s rejoicing.
puteri-puteri Sion, keluarlah dan tengoklah raja Salomo dengan mahkota yang dikenakan kepadanya oleh ibunya pada hari pernikahannya, pada hari kesukaan hatinya.
