< 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.
in lectulo meo per noctes quaesivi quem diligit anima mea quaesivi illum et non inveni
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.
surgam et circuibo civitatem per vicos et plateas quaeram quem diligit anima mea quaesivi illum et non inveni
3 The watchmen that went about the citie, found mee: to whome I said, Haue you seene him, whome my soule loueth?
invenerunt me vigiles qui custodiunt civitatem num quem dilexit anima mea vidistis
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.
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 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.
adiuro vos filiae Hierusalem per capreas cervosque camporum ne suscitetis neque evigilare faciatis dilectam donec ipsa velit
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?
quae est ista quae ascendit per desertum sicut virgula fumi ex aromatibus murrae et turis et universi pulveris pigmentarii
7 Beholde his bed, which is Salomons: threescore strong men are round about it, of the valiant men of Israel.
en lectulum Salomonis sexaginta fortes ambiunt ex fortissimis Israhel
8 They all handle the sworde, and are expert in warre, euery one hath his sword vpon his thigh for the feare by night.
omnes tenentes gladios et ad bella doctissimi uniuscuiusque ensis super femur suum propter timores nocturnos
9 King Salomon made himselfe a palace of the trees of Lebanon.
ferculum fecit sibi rex Salomon de lignis Libani
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.
columnas eius fecit argenteas reclinatorium aureum ascensum purpureum media caritate constravit propter filias Hierusalem
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.
egredimini et videte filiae Sion regem Salomonem in diademate quo coronavit eum mater sua in die disponsionis illius et in die laetitiae cordis eius
