佳偶寻找良人

我夜间躺在床上,

寻找我心所爱的,

我寻找他,却找不到他。

我说:“我要起来,走遍全城,

在街上,在广场上,

寻找我心所爱的。”

我寻找他,却找不到他。

城中的守卫巡逻的时候,找着我;

我就问他们:“你们有没有看见我心所爱的?”

我刚刚离开他们,

就遇见我心所爱的;

我把他拉住,不让他走,

等到我带他到我母亲的家,

进到怀我者的内室。

耶路撒冷的众女子啊!

我指着羚羊、田间的母鹿恳求你们,

不要激动,不要挑动爱情,

等它自发吧。

所罗门的迎亲队伍

那从旷野上来,

好象烟柱;

用商人贩卖的各种香粉、

没药和乳香熏过的,是谁呢?

看哪!是所罗门的御轿,

四周有六十个勇士,

都是以色列中的勇士。

个个手拿武器,能征惯战;

各人腿上配有利剑,以防夜间的袭击。

所罗门王用黎巴嫩木,

为自己做了一乘华轿。

10 他用银子做轿柱,

用金子做轿底,

用紫色料子做轿的座垫;

内部所铺设的,

是耶路撒冷众女子的爱情。

11 锡安的众女子啊!

你们出来看看所罗门戴着的冠冕,

就是在他结婚的日子,

在他心里喜乐的时候,

他母亲给他戴上的。

所羅門的迎親隊伍

那從曠野上來,

好像煙柱;

用商人販賣的各種香粉、

沒藥和乳香薰過的,是誰呢?

看哪!是所羅門的御轎,

四周有六十個勇士,

都是以色列中的勇士。

個個手拿武器,能征慣戰;

All night long on my bed
    I looked(A) for the one my heart loves;
    I looked for him but did not find him.
I will get up now and go about the city,
    through its streets and squares;
I will search for the one my heart loves.
    So I looked for him but did not find him.
The watchmen found me
    as they made their rounds in the city.(B)
    “Have you seen the one my heart loves?”
Scarcely had I passed them
    when I found the one my heart loves.
I held him and would not let him go
    till I had brought him to my mother’s house,(C)
    to the room of the one who conceived me.(D)
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(E)
    by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
    until it so desires.(F)

Who is this coming up from the wilderness(G)
    like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh(H) and incense
    made from all the spices(I) of the merchant?
Look! It is Solomon’s carriage,
    escorted by sixty warriors,(J)
    the noblest of Israel,
all of them wearing the sword,
    all experienced in battle,
each with his sword at his side,
    prepared for the terrors of the night.(K)
King Solomon made for himself the carriage;
    he made it of wood from Lebanon.
10 Its posts he made of silver,
    its base of gold.
Its seat was upholstered with purple,
    its interior inlaid with love.
Daughters of Jerusalem, 11 come out,
    and look, you daughters of Zion.(L)
Look[a] on King Solomon wearing a crown,
    the crown with which his mother crowned him
on the day of his wedding,
    the day his heart rejoiced.(M)

Footnotes

  1. Song of Songs 3:11 Or interior lovingly inlaid / by the daughters of Jerusalem. / 11 Come out, you daughters of Zion, / and look

By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

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.

The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

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.

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.

Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.

They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.

10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

11 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
