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!
Di atas ranjangku pada malam hari kucari jantung hatiku. Kucari, tetapi tak kutemui dia.
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.
Aku hendak bangun dan berkeliling di kota; di jalan-jalan dan di lapangan-lapangan kucari dia, jantung hatiku. Kucari, tetapi tak kutemui dia.
3 The watchmen have found me (Who are going around the city), “Have you seen him whom my soul has loved?”
Aku ditemui peronda-peronda kota. "Apakah kamu melihat jantung hatiku?"
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.
Baru saja aku meninggalkan mereka, kutemui jantung hatiku; kupegang dan tak kulepaskan dia, sampai kubawa dia ke rumah ibuku, ke kamar orang yang melahirkan aku.
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!
Kusumpahi kamu, puteri-puteri Yerusalem, demi kijang-kijang atau demi rusa-rusa betina di padang: jangan kamu membangkitkan dan menggerakkan cinta sebelum diingininya!
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?
Apakah itu yang membubung dari padang gurun seperti gumpalan-gumpalan asap tersaput dengan harum mur dan kemenyan dan bau segala macam serbuk wangi dari pedagang?
7 Behold, his couch, that [is] of Solomon, Sixty mighty ones [are] around it, Of the mighty of Israel,
Lihat, itulah joli Salomo, dikelilingi oleh enam puluh pahlawan dari antara pahlawan-pahlawan Israel.
8 All of them holding sword, taught of battle, Each his sword by his thigh, for fear at night.
Semua membawa pedang, terlatih dalam perang, masing-masing dengan pedang pada pinggang karena kedahsyatan malam.
9 A palanquin King Solomon made for himself, Of the wood of Lebanon,
Raja Salomo membuat bagi dirinya suatu tandu dari kayu Libanon.
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.
Tiang-tiangnya dibuatnya dari perak, sandarannya dari emas, tempat duduknya berwarna ungu, bagian dalamnya dihiasi dengan kayu arang. Hai puteri-puteri Yerusalem,
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!
puteri-puteri Sion, keluarlah dan tengoklah raja Salomo dengan mahkota yang dikenakan kepadanya oleh ibunya pada hari pernikahannya, pada hari kesukaan hatinya.
