< Song of Solomon 3 >
1 In my bed by night I sought him that my soule loued: I sought him, but I found him not.
我夜间躺卧在床上, 寻找我心所爱的; 我寻找他,却寻不见。
2 I will rise therefore nowe, and goe about in the citie, by the streetes and by the open places, and wil seeke him that my soule loueth: I sought him, but I found him not.
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。
3 The watchmen that went about the citie, found mee: to whome I said, Haue you seene him, whome my soule loueth?
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?
4 When I had past a litle from them, then I found him whom my soule loued: I tooke holde on him and left him not, till I had brought him vnto my mothers house into the chamber of her that conceiued me.
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。
5 I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, by the roes and by the hindes of the fielde, that ye stirre not vp, nor waken my loue vntill she please.
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。
6 Who is shee that commeth vp out of the wildernes like pillars of smoke perfumed with myrrhe and incense, and with all the spices of the marchant?
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?
7 Beholde his bed, which is Salomons: threescore strong men are round about it, of the valiant men of Israel.
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;
8 They all handle the sworde, and are expert in warre, euery one hath his sword vpon his thigh for the feare by night.
手都持刀,善于争战, 腰间佩刀,防备夜间有惊慌。
9 King Salomon made himselfe a palace of the trees of Lebanon.
所罗门王用黎巴嫩木 为自己制造一乘华轿。
10 Hee made the pillars thereof of siluer, and the pauement thereof of gold, the hangings thereof of purple, whose middes was paued with the loue of the daughters of Ierusalem.
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。
11 Come forth, ye daughters of Zion, and behold the King Salomon with the crowne, wherewith his mother crowned him in ye day of his mariage, and in the day of the gladnes of his heart.
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。
