< 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.
Gece boyunca yatağımda Sevgilimi aradım, Aradım, ama bulamadım.
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.
“Kalkıp kenti dolaşayım, Sokaklarda, meydanlarda sevgilimi arayayım” dedim, Aradım, ama bulamadım.
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?”
Kenti dolaşan bekçiler buldu beni, “Sevgilimi gördünüz mü?” diye sordum.
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).
Onlardan ayrılır ayrılmaz Sevgilimi buldum. Tuttum onu, bırakmadım; Annemin evine, Beni doğuran kadının odasına götürünceye dek.
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.
Dişi ceylanlar, Yabanıl dişi geyikler üstüne Ant içiriyorum size, ey Yeruşalim kızları! Aşkımı ayıltmayasınız, uyandırmayasınız diye, Gönlü hoş olana dek.
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?
Kimdir bu kırdan çıkan, Bir duman sütunu gibi, Tüccarın türlü türlü baharatıyla, Mür ve günnükle tütsülenmiş?
7 It is [Solomon], [sitting in] his portable chair surrounded by 60 bodyguards chosen from the strongest/greatest warriors in Israel.
İşte Süleyman'ın tahtırevanı! İsrailli yiğitlerden Altmış kişi eşlik ediyor ona.
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.
Hepsi kılıç kuşanmış, eğitilmiş savaşçı. Gecenin tehlikelerine karşı, Hepsinin kılıcı belinde.
9 King Solomon [commanded his servants] to make that portable chair for him; [it was made] with wood from Lebanon.
Kral Süleyman tahtırevanı Lübnan ağaçlarından yaptı.
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.
Direklerini gümüşten, Tabanını altından yaptı. Koltuğu mor kumaşla kaplıydı. İçini sevgiyle döşemişti Yeruşalim kızları.
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.
Dışarı çıkın, ey Siyon kızları! Düğününde, mutlu gününde Annesinin verdiği tacı giymiş Kral Süleyman'ı görün.
