< 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.
On my bed by night, I sought him whom my soul has loved; I sought him, and I did not find 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.
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.
3 They found me the watchmen who go around in the city whom it loves self my have you seen?
The watchmen have found me (Who are going around the city), “Have you seen him whom my soul has loved?”
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.
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.
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 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!
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 up from the wilderness, Like palm-trees of smoke, Perfumed [with] myrrh and frankincense, From every powder of the merchant?
7 There! bed his which [belongs] to Solomon sixty warriors [are] around it some of [the] warriors of Israel.
Behold, his couch, that [is] of Solomon, Sixty mighty ones [are] around it, Of the mighty 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 holding sword, taught of battle, Each his sword by his thigh, for fear at night.
9 A litter he has made for himself the king Solomon from [the] wood of Lebanon.
A palanquin King Solomon made for himself, 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.
Its pillars he made of silver, Its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, Its midst lined [with] love, By the daughters of Jerusalem.
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 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!
