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.
På mit Leje om Natten søgte Ham, som min Sjæl har kær, jeg søgte, men fandt ham ikke.
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.
"Så står jeg op og går om i Byen, om På dens Gader og Torve og søger ham, som min Sjæl har kær. "Jeg søgte, men fandt ham ikke.
3 The watchmen that went about the citie, found mee: to whome I said, Haue you seene him, whome my soule loueth?
Vægterne, som færdes i Byen, traf mig: "Så I mon ham, som min Sjæl har kær?"
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.
Knap var jeg kommet forbi dem, så fandt jeg ham, som min Sjæl har kær; jeg greb ham og slap ham ikke, før jeg fik ham ind i min Moders Hus, i hendes Kammer, som fødte mig.
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.
Jeg besværger eder, Jerusalems Døtre, ved Gazeller og Markens Hjorte: Gør ikke Kærligheden Uro, væk den ikke, før den ønsker det selv!
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?
Hvad er det, som kommer fra Ørkenen i Støtter af Røg, omduftet af Myrra og Røgelse, alskens Vellugt?
7 Beholde his bed, which is Salomons: threescore strong men are round about it, of the valiant men of Israel.
Se, det er Salomos Bærestol, omgivet af tresindstyve Helte, Israels Helte,
8 They all handle the sworde, and are expert in warre, euery one hath his sword vpon his thigh for the feare by night.
alle med Sværd i Hånd, oplærte til Krig, hver med sit Sværd ved Lænd mod Nattens Rædsler.
9 King Salomon made himselfe a palace of the trees of Lebanon.
Kong Salomo laved sig en Bærekarm af Træ fra Libanon,
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.
gjorde dens Støtter af Sølv, dens Arme af Guld; i Midten er Ibenholt indlagt, Sædet er Purpur.
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.
Jerusalems Døtre, gå ud og se på Kong Salomo, på Kronen, hans Moder kroned ham med på hans Brudefærds Dag, hans Hjertens Glædes Dag!
