Song of Solomon 3
1 One night when I was lying in bed, I longed for the one I love. I longed for him, but he was nowhere to be found.
Por la noche en mi cama, Busqué a quien mi alma ama. Lo busqué, pero no lo encontré.
2 So I said to myself, “I will get up now and go through the city, looking in its streets and squares for the one I love.” I looked for him but I didn't find him.
Me levantaré ahora y recorreré la ciudad; en las calles y en las plazas buscaré al que ama mi alma. Lo busqué, pero no lo encontré.
3 The watchmen found me as they went through the city. “Have you seen the one I love?” I asked them.
Los vigilantes que recorren la ciudad me encontraron; “¿Has visto al que ama mi alma?”
4 Only a little farther on after I'd passed them I found my love! I held him close and would not let him go until I'd brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me.
Apenas había pasado de ellos, cuando encontré al que ama mi alma. Lo abracé y no lo dejé ir, hasta que lo llevé a la casa de mi madre, en la habitación de la que me concibió.
5 Women of Jerusalem, swear to me by the gazelles or the wild deer that you won't disturb our love until the right time.
Os conjuro, hijas de Jerusalén, por las corzas, o por las ciervas del campo, para que no despiertes ni despiertes el amor, hasta que lo desee.
6 Who is this coming in from the wilderness like a plume of smoke, like a burning sacrifice scented with myrrh and frankincense, with all kinds of imported perfumed powders?
¿Quién es ese que sube del desierto como columnas de humo? perfumado con mirra e incienso, con todas las especias del comerciante?
7 Look, it's Solomon's sedan chair, accompanied by sixty of Israel's best warriors.
¡Mira, es el carruaje de Salomón! Sesenta hombres poderosos están a su alrededor, de los hombres poderosos de Israel.
8 All of them are expert swordsmen who have battle experience. They each carry a sword strapped to the thigh, ready for any night-time attacks.
Todos ellos manejan la espada y son expertos en la guerra. Todo hombre tiene su espada en el muslo, por el miedo en la noche.
9 (Solomon's sedan chair was made for him with wood from Lebanon.
El rey Salomón se hizo un carruaje del bosque del Líbano.
10 Its posts were covered in silver, and the back was covered in gold. The seat cushion was purple. The interior was lovingly decorated.) Women of Jerusalem,
Hizo sus pilares de plata, su fondo de oro, su asiento de púrpura, el centro de la misma está pavimentado con amor, de las hijas de Jerusalén.
11 come out! Look, women of Zion! See King Solomon wearing the crown that his mother placed on his head on his wedding day, his happiest day.
Salid, hijas de Sión, y ved al rey Salomón, con la corona con la que su madre le ha coronado, en el día de sus bodas, en el día de la alegría de su corazón.
