< 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.
Sa kinagabihan sa aking higaan, ay hinahanap ko siya na sinisinta ng aking kaluluwa: aking hinanap siya, nguni't hindi ko siya nasumpungan.
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.
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 watchmen found me as they were making their rounds in the city. I asked them, “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
Ang mga bantay na nagsisilibot sa bayan ay nasumpungan ako: na siya kong pinagsabihan, nakita baga ninyo siya na sinisinta ng aking kaluluwa?
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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 Look, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty warriors surround it, sixty soldiers of Israel.
Narito, ito ang arag-arag ni Salomon; anim na pung makapangyarihang lalake ay nangasa palibot nito, sa mga makapangyarihang lalake ng 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.
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 made himself a sedan chair of the wood from Lebanon.
Ang haring Salomon ay gumawa para sa kaniya ng palankin na kahoy sa 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.
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 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.
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.
