Kidung Agung 3
1 Malam-malam, di ranjangku, dalam mimpi kucari kekasihku; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia.
On my bed by night, I sought him whom my soul has loved; I sought him, and I did not find him!
2 Aku mau bangun dan keliling kota, menjelajahi semua jalan dan lorongnya. Aku mau mencari jantung hatiku; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia.
Now let me rise, and go around the city, In the streets and in the broad places, I seek him whom my soul has loved! I sought him, and I did not find him.
3 Aku ditemui peronda kota, dan kutanya, "Apakah kamu melihat jantung hatiku?"
The watchmen have found me (Who are going around the city), “Have you seen him whom my soul has loved?”
4 Baru saja kutinggalkan mereka, kutemui jantung hatiku. Kupegang dia, dan tidak kulepaskan sampai kubawa ke rumah ibuku, ke bilik orang yang melahirkan aku.
But I passed on a little from them, Until I found him whom my soul has loved! I seized him, and did not let him go, Until I brought him to the house of my mother—And the chamber of her that conceived me.
5 Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, demi rusa-rusa dan kijang-kijang di padang, bahwa kamu takkan mengganggu cinta, sampai ia dipuaskan.
I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor wake the love until she pleases!
6 Apakah itu yang datang dari padang gurun, menyerupai gumpalan asap? Wanginya seperti mur dan kemenyan, dan bedak-bedak harum dari pedagang.
Who [is] this coming up from the wilderness, Like palm-trees of smoke, Perfumed [with] myrrh and frankincense, From every powder of the merchant?
7 Lihat, itu tandu Salomo, dikelilingi enam puluh orang perkasa, orang-orang perkasa Israel,
Behold, his couch, that [is] of Solomon, Sixty mighty ones [are] around it, Of the mighty of Israel,
8 yang berpengalaman dalam perang. Mereka semua membawa pedang di pinggang siap menghadapi serangan di waktu malam.
All of them holding sword, taught of battle, Each his sword by his thigh, for fear at night.
9 Salomo membuatkan dirinya sebuah tandu, dari kayu yang paling bermutu.
A palanquin King Solomon made for himself, Of the wood of Lebanon,
10 Tiangnya terbuat dari perak, dan sandarannya dari emas. Tempat duduknya berwarna ungu, disulam dengan senang hati oleh putri-putri Yerusalem.
Its pillars he made of silver, Its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, Its midst lined [with] love, By the daughters of Jerusalem.
11 Keluarlah, hai putri-putri Sion, tengoklah Raja Salomo dengan mahkota yang dipasang ibunya, pada hari nikahnya, pada hari ia bersukaria.
Go forth, and look, you daughters of Zion, On King Solomon, with the crown, With which his mother crowned him, In the day of his espousals, And in the day of the joy of his heart!
