Song of Solomon 3
1 [[M.]] Upon my bed, in the night, I sought him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but found him not.
In lectulo meo per noctes quaesivi quem diligit anima mea: quaesivi illum, et non inveni.
2 I will arise now [[said I]], and go about the city; In the streets and the broad ways will I seek him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but found him not.
Surgam, et circuibo civitatem: per vicos et plateas quaeram quem diligit anima mea: quaesivi illum, et non inveni.
3 The watchmen who go about the city found me; “Have you seen [[said I]] him whom my soul loveth?”
Invenerunt me vigiles, qui custodiunt civitatem: Num quem diligit anima mea, vidistis?
4 I had but just passed them, When I found him whom my soul loveth; I held him, and would not let him go, Till I had brought him into my mother's house, Into the apartment of her that bore 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 [[Lov.]] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem! By the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she please.
Adiuro vos filiae Ierusalem per capreas, cervosque camporum, ne suscitetis, neque evigilare faciatis dilectam donec ipsa velit.
6 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the 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, the carriage of Solomon! Threescore valiant men are around it, Of the valiant men of Israel.
En lectulum Salomonis sexaginta fortes ambiunt ex fortissimis Israel:
8 They all wear swords, Being skilled in war. Every one hath his sword girt upon his thigh, On account of danger in the night.
omnes tenentes gladios, et ad bella doctissimi: uniuscuiusque ensis super femur suum propter timores nocturnos.
9 King Solomon made for himself a carriage Of the wood of Lebanon.
Ferculum fecit sibi rex Salomon de lignis Libani:
10 The pillars thereof he made of silver, The railing of gold, The seat of purple, Its interior curiously wrought by a lovely one of 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 In the crown with which his mother crowned him, In the day of his espousals, 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.
