Song of Solomon 3
1 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: 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 now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: 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 go about the city found me: [to whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
Invenerunt me vigiles, qui custodiunt civitatem: Num quem diligit anima mea, vidistis?
4 [It was] but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived 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 ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please.
Adiuro vos filiae Ierusalem per capreas, cervosque camporum, ne suscitetis, neque evigilare faciatis dilectam donec ipsa velit.
6 Who [is] this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
Quae est ista, quae ascendit per desertum sicut virgula fumi ex aromatibus myrrhae, et thuris, et universi pulveris pigmentarii?
7 Behold his bed, which [is] Solomon’s; threescore valiant men [are] about it, of the valiant of Israel.
En lectulum Salomonis sexaginta fortes ambiunt ex fortissimis Israel:
8 They all hold swords, [being] expert in war: every man [hath] his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
omnes tenentes gladios, et ad bella doctissimi: uniuscuiusque ensis super femur suum propter timores nocturnos.
9 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
Ferculum fecit sibi rex Salomon de lignis Libani:
10 He made the pillars thereof [of] silver, the bottom thereof [of] gold, the covering of it [of] purple, the midst thereof being paved [with] love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
columnas eius fecit argenteas, reclinatorium aureum, ascensum purpureum: media charitate constravit propter filias Ierusalem:
11 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
Egredimini et videte filiae Sion regem Salomonem in diademate, quo coronavit illum mater sua in die desponsationis illius, et in die laetitiae cordis eius.
