Ezgiler Ezgisi 3
1 Gece boyunca yatağımda Sevgilimi aradım, Aradım, ama bulamadım.
At night on my bed I was longing for him whom my soul loves; I looked for him, but I could not find him.
2 “Kalkıp kenti dolaşayım, Sokaklarda, meydanlarda sevgilimi arayayım” dedim, Aradım, ama bulamadım.
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.
3 Kenti dolaşan bekçiler buldu beni, “Sevgilimi gördünüz mü?” diye sordum.
The watchmen found me as they were making their rounds in the city. I asked them, “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
4 Onlardan ayrılır ayrılmaz Sevgilimi buldum. Tuttum onu, bırakmadım; Annemin evine, Beni doğuran kadının odasına götürünceye dek.
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.
5 Dişi ceylanlar, Yabanıl dişi geyikler üstüne Ant içiriyorum size, ey Yeruşalim kızları! Aşkımı ayıltmayasınız, uyandırmayasınız diye, Gönlü hoş olana dek.
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.
6 Kimdir bu kırdan çıkan, Bir duman sütunu gibi, Tüccarın türlü türlü baharatıyla, Mür ve günnükle tütsülenmiş?
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?
7 İşte Süleyman'ın tahtırevanı! İsrailli yiğitlerden Altmış kişi eşlik ediyor ona.
Look, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty warriors surround it, sixty soldiers of Israel.
8 Hepsi kılıç kuşanmış, eğitilmiş savaşçı. Gecenin tehlikelerine karşı, Hepsinin kılıcı belinde.
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.
9 Kral Süleyman tahtırevanı Lübnan ağaçlarından yaptı.
King Solomon made himself a sedan chair of the wood from Lebanon.
10 Direklerini gümüşten, Tabanını altından yaptı. Koltuğu mor kumaşla kaplıydı. İçini sevgiyle döşemişti Yeruşalim kızları.
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.
11 Dışarı çıkın, ey Siyon kızları! Düğününde, mutlu gününde Annesinin verdiği tacı giymiş Kral Süleyman'ı görün.
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.
