Cantares 3
Traducción en lenguaje actual
3 En la oscuridad de la noche
busco al amor de mi vida.
En la soledad de mi cuarto
lo busco y no lo encuentro.
2 Me levanto,
recorro la ciudad,
voy por calles y mercados,
buscando al amor de mi vida.
Lo busco y no lo encuentro.
3 Me topo con los guardias,
con los que vigilan la ciudad,
y les pregunto si han visto
al amor de mi vida.
4 Apenas los dejo,
encuentro al amor de mi vida.
Lo abrazo,
no lo suelto,
lo llevo a mi casa,
¡lo hago entrar
en la habitación donde nací!
El novio
5 Mujeres de Jerusalén,
quiero que me prometan,
por las gacelas y venaditas
que corren por el bosque,
que no molestarán a mi amada
ni la despertarán de su sueño de amor
hasta que ella sola se despierte.
Tercer canto
Los amigos
6 ¡Algo viene por el desierto!
¿Qué podrá ser?
Parece una columna de humo
que avanza entre aromas
de flores, incienso y perfumes.
7 ¡Pero si es Salomón,
y viene en su carruaje real!
Lo escoltan sesenta valientes,
¡los mejores soldados de Israel!
8 Armados con espadas,
son maestros en el combate;
todos llevan la espada lista
por causa de los peligros
que presenta la noche.
9 Este carruaje fue hecho
con finas maderas del Líbano.
Salomón mismo lo mandó hacer.
10 Ordenó que le pusieran
columnas de plata,
soportes de oro,
y un asiento de tela púrpura.
Las mujeres de Jerusalén
decoraron su interior
con gran delicadeza.
11 ¡Salgan, mujeres de Jerusalén!
¡Vengan a ver al rey Salomón!
Lleva puesta la corona
que su propia madre le hizo
para el día de su boda,
¡para el día más feliz de su vida!
Song of Songs 3
New International Version
3 All night long on my bed
I looked(A) for the one my heart loves;
I looked for him but did not find him.
2 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.
3 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.(B)
“Have you seen the one my heart loves?”
4 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)
5 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)
6 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?
7 Look! It is Solomon’s carriage,
escorted by sixty warriors,(J)
the noblest of Israel,
8 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)
9 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)
