Song of Solomon 3
1 At night on my bed I was longing for him whom my soul loves; I looked for him, but I could not find him.
De noite busquei em minha cama a quem a minha alma ama: busquei-o, e não o achei.
2 I said to myself, “I will get up and go through the city, through the streets and squares; I will search for him whom my soul loves.” I searched for him, but I did not find him.
Levantar-me-hei, pois, e rodearei a cidade; pelas ruas e pelas praças buscarei a quem ama a minha alma: busquei-o; e não o achei.
3 The watchmen found me as they were making their rounds in the city. I asked them, “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
Acharam-me os guardas, que rondavam pela cidade: eu lhes perguntei: Vistes a quem ama a minha alma?
4 It was only a little while after I had passed them that I found him whom my soul loves. I held him and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house, into the bedroom of the one who had conceived me.
Apartando-me eu um pouco d'elles, logo achei a quem ama a minha alma: agarrei-me a elle, e não o larguei, até que o introduzi em casa de minha mãe, na camara d'aquella que me gerou.
5 I want you to swear, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and the does of the fields, that you will not awaken or arouse love until she pleases.
Conjuro-vos, ó filhas de Jerusalem, pelas corças e cervas do campo, que não acordeis, nem desperteis o meu amor, até que queira.
6 What is that coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the powders sold by merchants?
Quem é esta que sobe do deserto, como umas columnas de fumo, perfumada de myrrha, de incenso, e de toda a sorte de pós do especieiro?
7 Look, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty warriors surround it, sixty soldiers of Israel.
Eis que é a cama de Salomão; sessenta valentes estão ao redor d'ella, dos valentes d'Israel:
8 All of them are skilled with a sword and are experienced in warfare. Every man has his sword at his side, armed against the terrors of the night.
Todos armados d'espadas, dextros na guerra: cada um com a sua espada á coxa por causa dos temores nocturnos.
9 King Solomon made himself a sedan chair of the wood from Lebanon.
O rei Salomão fez para si um thalamo de madeira do Libano.
10 Its posts were made of silver; the back was made of gold, and the seat of purple cloth. Its interior was decorated with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.
Fez-lhe as columnas de prata, o estrado d'oiro, o assento de purpura, o interior coberto com o amor das filhas de Jerusalem.
11 Go out, daughters of Zion, and gaze on King Solomon, bearing the crown with which his mother crowned him on his wedding day, on the day of the joy of his heart.
Sahi, ó filhas de Sião, e contemplae ao rei Salomão com a corôa com que o coroou sua mãe no dia do seu desposorio e no dia do jubilo do seu coração.
