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.
Una noche, cuando estaba acostada en la cama, anhelaba a mi amado. Lo anhelaba, pero no estaba en ninguna parte.
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.
Entonces me dije: “Me levantaré ahora y recorreré la ciudad, buscando en sus calles y plazas a aquel que amo”. Lo busqué, pero no lo encontré.
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?”
Los vigilantes me hallaron mientras recorría la ciudad. “¿Han visto a mi amado?” - les pregunté.
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).
Sólo un poco más adelante, después de haberlos pasado, encontré a mi amor. Lo abracé y no lo dejé ir hasta que lo llevé a la casa de mi madre, a la habitación de la que me concibió.
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.
Mujeres de Jerusalén, júrenme por las gacelas o los ciervos salvajes que no perturbarán nuestro amor hasta el momento oportuno.
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?
¿Quién es ese que viene del desierto como una columna de humo, como un sacrificio ardiente perfumado con mirra e incienso, con toda clase de polvos perfumados importados?
7 It is [Solomon], [sitting in] his portable chair surrounded by 60 bodyguards chosen from the strongest/greatest warriors in Israel.
Miren, es la litera de Salomón, acompañado de sesenta de los mejores guerreros de 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.
Todos ellos son expertos espadachines con experiencia en la batalla. Cada uno de ellos lleva una espada atada al muslo, preparada para cualquier ataque nocturno.
9 King Solomon [commanded his servants] to make that portable chair for him; [it was made] with wood from Lebanon.
(La litera de Salomón fue hecha para él con madera del Líbano.
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.
Sus soportes estaban cubiertos de plata, y el respaldo estaba cubierto de oro. El cojín del asiento era de color púrpura. El interior estaba decorado con detalle.) ¡Mujeres de Jerusalén,
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.
salgan! ¡Miren, mujeres de Sión! Vean al rey Salomón llevando la corona que su madre le puso en la cabeza el día de su boda, su día más feliz.
