Song of Solomon 3

1 On bed my in the nights I sought whom it loves self my I sought him and not I found him.

By night on my bed I was looking for him who is the love of my soul: I was looking for him, but I did not see him.

2 I will arise please and I will go around in the city in the streets and in the open places I will seek whom it loves self my I sought him and not I found him.

I will get up now and go about the town, in the streets and in the wide ways I will go after him who is the love of my soul: I went after him, but I did not see him.

3 They found me the watchmen who go around in the city whom it loves self my have you seen?

The watchmen who go about the town came by me; to them I said, Have you seen him who is my heart's desire?

4 Like a little that I had passed away from them until that I found whom it loves self my I grasped him and not I let go him until that I had brought him to [the] house of mother my and to [the] room of [the one who] conceived me.

I was but a little way from them, when I came face to face with him who is the love of my soul. I took him by the hands, and did not let him go, till I had taken him into my mother's house, and into the room of her who gave me birth.

5 I adjure you O daughters of Jerusalem by gazelles or by [the] does of the field if you will awaken - and if you will arouse love until that it will please.

I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, let not love be moved till it is ready.

6 Who? this [is] coming up from the wilderness like columns of smoke [who is] perfumed of myrrh and frankincense from all [the] scent-powder of a trader.

Who is this coming out of the waste places like pillars of smoke, perfumed with sweet spices, with all the spices of the trader?

7 There! bed his which [belongs] to Solomon sixty warriors [are] around it some of [the] warriors of Israel.

See, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty men of war are about it, of the army of Israel,

8 All of them [are] grasped of a sword [are] trained of warfare each one sword his [is] on thigh his from dread (in the nights. *L(abh)*)

All of them armed with swords, trained in war; every man has his sword at his side, because of fear in the night.

9 A litter he has made for himself the king Solomon from [the] wood of Lebanon.

King Solomon made himself a bed of the wood of Lebanon.

10 Posts its he made silver back its gold seat its purple wool middle its [was] fitted out leather from [the] daughters of Jerusalem.

He made its pillars of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple, the middle of it of ebony.

11 Come out - and look O daughters of Zion on the king Solomon on the crown that crowned him mother his on [the] day of wedding his and on [the] day of [the] rejoicing of heart his.

Go out, O daughters of Jerusalem, and see King Solomon, with the crown which his mother put on his head on the day when he was married, and on the day of the joy of his heart.
