Song of Solomon 3
1 All through the night [while I lay] on my bed, I longed for the one whom I love. I desired for him [to come], but he did not come.
On bed my in the nights I sought whom it loves self my I sought him and not I found him.
2 [So I said to myself], “I will get up now and walk around the city, through the streets and plazas, to search for the one whom I love.” [So] I [got up and] searched for him, but I could not find him.
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.
3 The city watchmen saw me while they were patrolling/walking around the city. [I asked them], “Have you seen the one whom I love?”
They found me the watchmen who go around in the city whom it loves self my have you seen?
4 As soon as I walked past them, I found the one whom I love. I clung to him and would not let him go until I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room where my mother had conceived me (OR, where I was born).
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.
5 You women of Jerusalem, solemnly promise me, while the does and gazelles [are listening], that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.
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.
6 Who is it that is coming from the desert, who is [stirring up dust] like a column of smoke from burning myrrh and incense [made from] spices [imported by] merchants?
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.
7 It is [Solomon], [sitting in] his portable chair surrounded by 60 bodyguards chosen from the strongest/greatest warriors in Israel.
There! bed his which [belongs] to Solomon sixty warriors [are] around it some of [the] warriors of Israel.
8 They all have swords and they [all] (are trained to/know well how to) use them. Each one has his sword [strapped to] his side and [is prepared to defend Solomon from] dangers that might occur even during the night.
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)*)
9 King Solomon [commanded his servants] to make that portable chair for him; [it was made] with wood from Lebanon.
