Song of Solomon 3
1 By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I did not find him.
Di atas ranjangku pada malam hari kucari jantung hatiku. Kucari, tetapi tak kutemui dia.
2 I will get up now, and go about the city; in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but 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 who go about the city found me; "Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"
Aku ditemui peronda-peronda kota. "Apakah kamu melihat jantung hatiku?"
4 I had scarcely passed from them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, into the chamber of her who 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 adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by the does of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
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 who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all spices 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 Look, it is Solomon's carriage. Sixty mighty men are around it, of the mighty men of Israel.
Lihat, itulah joli Salomo, dikelilingi oleh enam puluh pahlawan dari antara pahlawan-pahlawan Israel.
8 They all handle the sword, and are expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh, because of fear in the night.
Semua membawa pedang, terlatih dalam perang, masing-masing dengan pedang pada pinggang karena kedahsyatan malam.
9 King Solomon made himself a carriage of the wood of Lebanon.
Raja Salomo membuat bagi dirinya suatu tandu dari kayu Libanon.
10 He made its pillars of silver, its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, its midst being paved with love, from 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, you daughters of Zion, and see king Solomon, with the crown with which his mother has crowned him, in the day of his weddings, in the day of the gladness 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.
