Cântico dos Cânticos 3
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
3 De noite, na minha cama, procurei pelo meu amado.
Procurei por ele, mas não podia encontrá-lo!
2 Pensei: “Me levantarei!
Percorrerei a cidade!
Pelas ruas e as praças
procurarei o amor da minha vida!”
Procurei por ele,
mas não consegui encontrá-lo!
3 Encontrei os guardas que fazem a ronda pela cidade
e lhes perguntei se tinham visto o meu amado.
4 Apenas acabei de falar com eles,
encontrei o amor da minha vida!
Abracei-o e não o soltei
até que chegamos à casa da minha mãe,[a]
à habitação daquela que me gerou.
Canta o amado
5 Mulheres de Jerusalém,
jurem pelas gazelas e cervos do campo
que não incomodarão nem acordarão o amor
até que seja o momento certo.[b]
Canta o coro
6 Quem é essa mulher que sobe do deserto[c]?
Ela deixa ao seu passo uma nuvem de fumaça
perfumada de incenso, mirra
e todo tipo de perfumes importados.[d]
7 Vejam! É a carruagem[e] de Salomão,
escoltada por sessenta guerreiros,
dos mais corajosos de Israel.
8 Todos são soldados experientes,
muito habilidosos com a espada.
Levam espadas para se proteger
dos perigos da noite.
9 O rei Salomão fez sua carruagem
com madeira fina do Líbano.
10 As suas colunas as fez de prata,
a cobertura de fio dourado,
o assento de púrpura.
Seu interior está decorado com motivos de amor.
11 Mulheres de Sião, saiam
e vejam o rei Salomão!
Vejam a coroa[f] que a sua mãe colocou nele no dia do seu casamento,
quando o seu coração pulava de alegria.

Song of Solomon 3
New King James Version
A Troubled Night
The Shulamite
3 By (A)night on my bed I sought the one I love;
I sought him, but I did not find him.
2 “I will rise now,” I said,
“And go about the city;
In the streets and in the squares
I will seek the one I love.”
I sought him, but I did not find him.
3 (B)The watchmen who go about the city found me;
I said,
“Have you seen the one I love?”
4 Scarcely had I passed by them,
When I found the one I love.
I held him and would not let him go,
Until I had brought him to the (C)house of my mother,
And into the [a]chamber of her who conceived me.
5 (D)I [b]charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
The Coming of Solomon
The Shulamite
6 (E)Who is this coming out of the wilderness
Like pillars of smoke,
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
With all the merchant’s fragrant powders?
7 Behold, it is Solomon’s couch,
With sixty valiant men around it,
Of the valiant of Israel.
8 They all hold swords,
Being expert in war.
Every man has his sword on his thigh
Because of fear in the night.
9 Of the wood of Lebanon
Solomon the King
Made himself a [c]palanquin:
10 He made its pillars of silver,
Its support of gold,
Its seat of purple,
Its interior paved with love
By the daughters of Jerusalem.
11 Go forth, O daughters of Zion,
And see King Solomon with the crown
With which his mother crowned him
On the day of his wedding,
The day of the gladness of his heart.

The Bride's Dream
3 On my bed (A)by night
I sought (B)him whom my soul loves;
(C)I sought him, but found him not.
2 I will rise now and go about the city,
in (D)the streets and in the squares;
I will seek (E)him whom my soul loves.
I sought him, but found him not.
3 (F)The watchmen found me
as they went about in the city.
“Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
4 Scarcely had I passed them
when I found (G)him whom my soul loves.
I (H)held him, and would not let him go
until I had (I)brought him into my mother's house,
and into the chamber of (J)her who conceived me.
5 (K)I adjure you, (L)O daughters of Jerusalem,
(M)by the gazelles or the does of the field,
that you not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.
Solomon Arrives for the Wedding
6 (N)What is that coming up from the wilderness
like (O)columns of smoke,
perfumed with (P)myrrh and frankincense,
with all the fragrant powders of a merchant?
7 Behold, it is the litter[a] of Solomon!
Around it are (Q)sixty (R)mighty men,
some of the mighty men of Israel,
8 all of them wearing swords
and expert in war,
each with his (S)sword at his thigh,
against (T)terror by night.
9 King Solomon made himself a carriage[b]
from the wood of Lebanon.
10 He made its posts of silver,
its back of gold, its seat of purple;
its interior was inlaid with love
by (U)the daughters of Jerusalem.
11 Go out, O (V)daughters of Zion,
and look upon King Solomon,
with the crown with which his mother crowned him
on (W)the day of his wedding,
on the day of the gladness of his heart.
