Song of Solomon 3
1 [SHE] Upon my couch, in the night-time, sought I the beloved of my soul, —I sought him, but found him not.
夜われ床にありて我心の愛する者をたづねしが尋ねたれども得ず
2 Come! I must arise, and go about in the city, In the paths and in the broadways, I must seek the beloved of my soul, —I sought him, but found him not.
我おもへらく今おきて邑をまはりありき わが心の愛する者を街衢あるひは大路にてたづねんと 乃ちこれを尋ねたれども得ざりき
3 The watchmen that go round in the city, found me, The beloved of my soul, have ye seen?
邑をまはりありく夜巡者らわれに遇ひければ 汝らわが心の愛する者を見しやと問ひ
4 Scarcely had I passed from them, when I found the beloved of my soul, —I caught him, and would not let him go, until that I had brought him into the house of my mother, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
これに別れて過ゆき間もなくわが心の愛する者の遇たれば 之をひきとめて放さず 遂にわが母の家にともなひゆき 我を産し者の室にいりぬ
5 [HE] I adjure you ye, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by the hinds of the field, —That ye wake not, nor arouse, the dear love until she please.
エルサレムの女子等よ 我なんぢらに獐と野の鹿とをさし誓ひて請ふ 愛のおのづから起る時まで殊更に喚起し且つ醒すなかれ
6 [THEY] Who is this, coming up out of the wilderness, like pillars of smoke, —with perfume of myrrh, and frankincense, besides all the aromatic powder of the merchant?
この沒藥乳香など商人のもろもろの薫物をもて身をかをらせ 煙の柱のごとくして荒野より來る者は誰ぞや
7 Lo! his couch,’tis Solomon’s own, Threescore heroes, around it, —of the heroes of Israel:
視よ こはソロモンの乗輿にして 勇士六十人その周圍にあり イスラエルの勇士なり
8 All of them, grasping the sword, trained for war, —every man, with his sword upon his thigh, because of dread, in the night-time.
みな刀劍を執り 戰鬪を善す 各人腰に刀劍を帶て夜の警誡に備ふ
9 A palanquin, King Solomon made himself, of the trees of Lebanon:
ソロモン王レバノンの木をもて己のために輿をつくれり
10 The supports thereof, made he of silver, the couch thereof, of gold, the seat thereof, of purple, —the midst thereof, hath an inlay of love from the daughters of Jerusalem.
その柱は白銀 その欄杆は黄金 その座は紫色にて作り その内部にはイスラエルの女子等が愛をもて繍たる物を張つく シオンの女子等よ 出きたりてソロモン王を見よ かれは婚姻の日 心の喜べる日にその母の己にかうぶらしし冠冕を戴けり
11 Go forth and gaze, ye daughters of Zion, upon King Solomon, —wearing the crown, wherewith his mother, crowned him, in the day of his marriage, and in the day of his heart gladness.
