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.
Sa kinagabihan sa aking higaan, ay hinahanap ko siya na sinisinta ng aking kaluluwa: aking hinanap siya, nguni't hindi ko siya nasumpungan.
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.
Aking sinabi, ako'y babangon at liligid sa bayan, sa mga lansangan at sa mga maluwang na daan, aking hahanapin siya na sinisinta ng aking kaluluwa: aking hinanap siya, nguni't hindi ko siya nasumpungan.
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?”
Ang mga bantay na nagsisilibot sa bayan ay nasumpungan ako: na siya kong pinagsabihan, nakita baga ninyo siya na sinisinta ng aking kaluluwa?
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).
Kaunti lamang ang inilagpas ko sa kanila. Nang masumpungan ko siya na sinisinta ng aking kaluluwa: pinigilan ko siya, at hindi ko binayaang umalis, hanggang sa siya'y aking nadala sa bahay ng aking ina, at sa silid niya na naglihi sa akin.
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.
Pinagbibilinan ko kayo, Oh mga anak na babae ng Jerusalem, alangalang sa mga usang lalake at babae sa parang, na huwag ninyong pukawin o gisingin man ang aking sinta, hanggang sa ibigin niya.
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?
Sino itong umaahong mula sa ilang na gaya ng mga haliging usok, na napapabanguhan ng mira at ng kamangyan, ng lahat na blanquete ng mangangalakal?
7 It is [Solomon], [sitting in] his portable chair surrounded by 60 bodyguards chosen from the strongest/greatest warriors in Israel.
Narito, ito ang arag-arag ni Salomon; anim na pung makapangyarihang lalake ay nangasa palibot nito, sa mga makapangyarihang lalake ng 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.
Silang lahat ay nagsisihawak ng tabak, at bihasa sa pakikidigma: bawa't isa'y may tabak sa kaniyang pigi, dahil sa takot kung gabi.
9 King Solomon [commanded his servants] to make that portable chair for him; [it was made] with wood from Lebanon.
Ang haring Salomon ay gumawa para sa kaniya ng palankin na kahoy sa Libano,
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.
Ginawa niya ang mga haligi niyaon na pilak, ang pinakailalim niyaon ay ginto, at ang upuan ay kulay ube, ang gitna niyaon ay nalalatagan ng pagsinta, na mula sa mga anak na babae ng Jerusalem.
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.
Magsilabas kayo, Oh kayong mga anak na babae ng Sion, at inyong masdan ang haring Salomon, na may putong na ipinutong sa kaniya ng kaniyang ina, sa kaarawan ng kaniyang pagaasawa, at sa kaarawan ng kasayahan ng kaniyang puso.
