Kidung Agung 3
1 Malam-malam, di ranjangku, dalam mimpi kucari kekasihku; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia.
[[M.]] Upon my bed, in the night, I sought him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but found him not.
2 Aku mau bangun dan keliling kota, menjelajahi semua jalan dan lorongnya. Aku mau mencari jantung hatiku; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia.
I will arise now [[said I]], and go about the city; In the streets and the broad ways will I seek him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but found him not.
3 Aku ditemui peronda kota, dan kutanya, "Apakah kamu melihat jantung hatiku?"
The watchmen who go about the city found me; “Have you seen [[said I]] him whom my soul loveth?”
4 Baru saja kutinggalkan mereka, kutemui jantung hatiku. Kupegang dia, dan tidak kulepaskan sampai kubawa ke rumah ibuku, ke bilik orang yang melahirkan aku.
I had but just passed them, When I found him whom my soul loveth; I held him, and would not let him go, Till I had brought him into my mother's house, Into the apartment of her that bore me.
5 Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, demi rusa-rusa dan kijang-kijang di padang, bahwa kamu takkan mengganggu cinta, sampai ia dipuaskan.
[[Lov.]] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem! By the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she please.
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 that cometh up from the wilderness, Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the powders of the merchant?
7 Lihat, itu tandu Salomo, dikelilingi enam puluh orang perkasa, orang-orang perkasa Israel,
Behold, the carriage of Solomon! Threescore valiant men are around it, Of the valiant men of Israel.
8 yang berpengalaman dalam perang. Mereka semua membawa pedang di pinggang siap menghadapi serangan di waktu malam.

9 Salomo membuatkan dirinya sebuah tandu, dari kayu yang paling bermutu.
King Solomon made for himself a carriage 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.
The pillars thereof he made of silver, The railing of gold, The seat of purple, Its interior curiously wrought by a lovely one of 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, O ye daughters of Zion! And behold King Solomon In the crown with which his mother crowned him, In the day of his espousals, In the day of the gladness of his heart.
