Song of Solomon 3

1 On my bed by night, I sought him whom my soul has loved; I sought him, and I did not find him!

我夜間躺臥在床上， 尋找我心所愛的； 我尋找他，卻尋不見。

2 Now let me rise, and go around the city, In the streets and in the broad places, I seek him whom my soul has loved! I sought him, and I did not find him.

我說：我要起來，遊行城中， 在街市上，在寬闊處， 尋找我心所愛的。 我尋找他，卻尋不見。

3 The watchmen have found me (Who are going around the city), “Have you seen him whom my soul has loved?”

城中巡邏看守的人遇見我； 我問他們：你們看見我心所愛的沒有？

4 But I passed on a little from them, Until I found him whom my soul has loved! I seized him, and did not let him go, Until I brought him to the house of my mother—And the chamber of her that conceived me.

我剛離開他們就遇見我心所愛的。 我拉住他，不容他走， 領他入我母家， 到懷我者的內室。

5 I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor wake the love until she pleases!

耶路撒冷的眾女子啊， 我指着羚羊或田野的母鹿囑咐你們： 不要驚動、不要叫醒我所親愛的， 等他自己情願。

6 Who [is] this coming up from the wilderness, Like palm-trees of smoke, Perfumed [with] myrrh and frankincense, From every powder of the merchant?

那從曠野上來、形狀如煙柱、 以沒藥和乳香並商人各樣香粉薰的是誰呢？

7 Behold, his couch, that [is] of Solomon, Sixty mighty ones [are] around it, Of the mighty of Israel,

看哪，是所羅門的轎； 四圍有六十個勇士， 都是以色列中的勇士；

8 All of them holding sword, taught of battle, Each his sword by his thigh, for fear at night.

手都持刀，善於爭戰， 腰間佩刀，防備夜間有驚慌。

9 A palanquin King Solomon made for himself, Of the wood of Lebanon,

所羅門王用黎巴嫩木 為自己製造一乘華轎。

10 Its pillars he made of silver, Its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, Its midst lined [with] love, By the daughters of Jerusalem.

轎柱是用銀做的， 轎底是用金做的； 坐墊是紫色的， 其中所鋪的乃耶路撒冷眾女子的愛情。

11 Go forth, and look, you daughters of Zion, On King Solomon, with the crown, With which his mother crowned him, In the day of his espousals, And in the day of the joy of his heart!

錫安的眾女子啊， 你們出去觀看所羅門王！ 頭戴冠冕，就是在他婚筵的日子、 心中喜樂的時候，他母親給他戴上的。
