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.
| شب هنگام در بستر خویش او را که جانم دوستش دارد به خواب دیدم: به دنبال او می‌گشتم، اما او را نمی‌یافتم. |
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.
| پس به خود گفتم: «برمی‌خیزم و در کوچه‌ها و میدانهای شهر محبوب جانم را جستجو خواهم کرد.» پس همه جا را گشتم اما او را نیافتم! |
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?”
| شبگردهای شهر مرا دیدند و من از آنان پرسیدم: «آیا او را که جانم دوستش دارد دیده‌اید؟» |
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).
| هنوز از ایشان چندان دور نشده بودم که محبوبم را یافتم. او را گرفتم و رها نکردم تا به خانهٔ مادرم آوردم. |
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.
| ای دختران اورشلیم، شما را به غزالها و آهوان صحرا قسم می‌دهم که مزاحم عشق ما نشوید. |
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?
| این کیست که مثل ستون دود از بیابان پیداست و بوی خوش مُر و کندر و عطرهایی که تاجران می‌فروشند به اطراف می‌افشاند؟ |
7 It is [Solomon], [sitting in] his portable chair surrounded by 60 bodyguards chosen from the strongest/greatest warriors in Israel.
| نگاه کنید! این تخت روان سلیمان است که شصت نفر از نیرومندترین سپاهیان اسرائیل آن را همراهی می‌کنند. |
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.
| همهٔ آنان شمشیر زنانی ماهر و جنگاورانی کارآزموده‌اند. هر یک شمشیری بر کمر بسته‌اند تا در برابر حمله‌های شبانه از پادشاه دفاع کنند. |
9 King Solomon [commanded his servants] to make that portable chair for him; [it was made] with wood from Lebanon.
| تخت روان سلیمان پادشاه از چوب لبنان ساخته شده است. |
10 The [canopy that covered it] was (held up/supported) by posts made of silver, and the back of the chair was [embroidered] with gold. The seat/cushion was covered with purple cloth lovingly made/woven by the women of Jerusalem.
| ستونهایش از نقره و سایبانش از طلاست. پشتی آن از پارچهٔ ارغوان است که به دست دختران اورشلیم، به نشانهٔ محبتشان دوخته شده است. |
11 You women of Jerusalem, come and look at King Solomon wearing the headdress that his mother put on his head on the day when he was married, the day when he [SYN] was very happy.
| ای دختران اورشلیم، بیرون بیایید و سلیمان پادشاه را ببینید، او را با تاجی که مادرش در روز شاد عروسی‌اش بر سر وی نهاد، تماشا کنید. |
