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.
Jag sökte om nattena i mine säng den min själ kär hade; jag sökte, men jag fann honom intet.
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.
Jag vill stå upp och gå omkring i staden, på gator och gränder, och söka den min själ kär hafver; jag sökte, men jag fann honom intet.
3 The watchmen found me as they went through the city. “Have you seen the one I love?” I asked them.
Mig funno väktarena, som kringom i staden gå: Hafven I icke sett den min själ kär hafver?
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.
Då jag kom litet framom dem, så fann jag den min själ kär hafver; jag håller honom, och vill icke öfvergifva honom, tilldess jag hafver honom in uti mins moders hus, uti mins moders kammar.
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.
Jag besvär eder, I Jerusalems döttrar, vid rår och hinder på markene, att I icke uppväcken mina käro, eller omaken henne, tilldess henne sjelf lyster.
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?
Ho är denna, som uppgår utur öknene, såsom en rök af myrrham, rökelse och allahanda apothekares pulver?
7 Look, it's Solomon's sedan chair, accompanied by sixty of Israel's best warriors.
Si, omkring Salomos säng stå sextio starke, utaf de starka i 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.
Alle hålla de svärd, och äro behändige till strids; hvardera hafver sitt svärd vid sina sido, för fruktans skull, om nattena.
9 (Solomon's sedan chair was made for him with wood from Lebanon.
Konung Salomo lät göra sig ett sängerum af Libanons trä;
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,
Dess stodar voro af silfver, täckelsen af guld, sätet af purpur, bottnen deruti var lusteliga lagd för Jerusalems döttrars skull.
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.
Går ut, I Zions döttrar, och skåder Konung Salomo, i den krono, der hans moder honom med krönt hafver, på hans bröllopsdag, och på hans hjertas fröjds dag.
