Song of Solomon 3
1 On my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.
in lectulo meo per noctes quaesivi quem diligit anima mea quaesivi illum et non inveni
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.
surgam et circuibo civitatem per vicos et plateas quaeram quem diligit anima mea quaesivi illum et non inveni
3 I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city: “Have you seen the one I love?”
invenerunt me vigiles qui custodiunt civitatem num quem dilexit anima mea vidistis
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.
paululum cum pertransissem eos inveni quem diligit anima mea tenui eum nec dimittam donec introducam illum in domum matris meae et in cubiculum genetricis meae
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.
adiuro vos filiae Hierusalem per capreas cervosque camporum ne suscitetis neque evigilare faciatis dilectam donec ipsa velit
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?
quae est ista quae ascendit per desertum sicut virgula fumi ex aromatibus murrae et turis et universi pulveris pigmentarii
7 Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty of the mightiest men of Israel.
en lectulum Salomonis sexaginta fortes ambiunt ex fortissimis Israhel
8 All are skilled with the sword, experienced in warfare. Each has his sword at his side prepared for the terror of the night.
omnes tenentes gladios et ad bella doctissimi uniuscuiusque ensis super femur suum propter timores nocturnos
9 King Solomon has made his carriage out of the timber of Lebanon.
ferculum fecit sibi rex Salomon de lignis Libani
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.
columnas eius fecit argenteas reclinatorium aureum ascensum purpureum media caritate constravit propter filias Hierusalem
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.
egredimini et videte filiae Sion regem Salomonem in diademate quo coronavit eum mater sua in die disponsionis illius et in die laetitiae cordis eius
