雅歌 3
1 夜われ床にありて我心の愛する者をたづねしが尋ねたれども得ず
By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2 我おもへらく今おきて邑をまはりありき わが心の愛する者を街衢あるひは大路にてたづねんと 乃ちこれを尋ねたれども得ざりき
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3 邑をまはりありく夜巡者らわれに遇ひければ 汝らわが心の愛する者を見しやと問ひ
The watchmen that go about the city found me: [to whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
4 これに別れて過ゆき間もなくわが心の愛する者の遇たれば 之をひきとめて放さず 遂にわが母の家にともなひゆき 我を産し者の室にいりぬ
[It was] but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
5 エルサレムの女子等よ 我なんぢらに獐と野の鹿とをさし誓ひて請ふ 愛のおのづから起る時まで殊更に喚起し且つ醒すなかれ
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please.
6 この沒藥乳香など商人のもろもろの薫物をもて身をかをらせ 煙の柱のごとくして荒野より來る者は誰ぞや
Who [is] this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
7 視よ こはソロモンの乗輿にして 勇士六十人その周圍にあり イスラエルの勇士なり
Behold his bed, which [is] Solomon's; sixty valiant men [are] about it, of the valiant of Israel.
8 みな刀劍を執り 戰鬪を善す 各人腰に刀劍を帶て夜の警誡に備ふ
They all hold swords, [being] expert in war: every man [hath] his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
9 ソロモン王レバノンの木をもて己のために輿をつくれり
King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
10 その柱は白銀 その欄杆は黄金 その座は紫色にて作り その内部にはイスラエルの女子等が愛をもて繍たる物を張つく シオンの女子等よ 出きたりてソロモン王を見よ かれは婚姻の日 心の喜べる日にその母の己にかうぶらしし冠冕を戴けり
He made its pillars [of] silver, the bottom of it [of] gold, the covering of it [of] purple, the midst of it being paved [with] love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
