Song of Solomon 3
King James Version
3 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2 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 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
4 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 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 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 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
8 They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
9 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.
Hoheslied 3
Hoffnung für Alle
Nächtliche Sehnsucht
Sie:
3 Nachts auf meinem Bett
sehnte ich mich nach meinem Liebsten.
So gern wollte ich bei ihm sein,
doch er war nicht da!
2 »Ich will aufstehn, die Stadt durchstreifen,
durch die Gassen und über die Plätze laufen.
Meinen Liebsten muss ich finden!«
Ich suchte nach ihm, doch vergebens.
3 Bei ihrem Rundgang griff die Wache mich auf:
»Habt ihr meinen Liebsten gesehen?«, fragte ich sie.
4 Kaum war ich an ihnen vorbei,
da fand ich ihn, dem mein Herz gehört.
Ich hielt ihn fest und ließ ihn nicht mehr los.
Ich führte ihn in das Haus meiner Mutter,
in jene Kammer, in der sie mich empfing.
5 Ihr Mädchen von Jerusalem,
ich beschwöre euch bei der Liebe selbst:
Weckt sie nicht auf und facht die Leidenschaft nicht an,
bis die Zeit dafür kommt![a]
Der Hochzeitszug
Die Zuschauer:
6 Wer kommt dort herauf aus der Wüste,
umgeben von Rauchsäulen aus Weihrauch und Myrrhe
und allen Parfümen der Händler?
7 Seht! Es ist die Sänfte Salomos,
von sechzig Männern ist sie umringt,
von Israels tapferen Soldaten.
8 Sie alle sind im Kampf erprobt,
sie tragen das Schwert an der Seite
zum Schutz vor den Gefahren der Nacht.
9 Eine Sänfte ließ König Salomo sich bauen
aus dem kostbaren Holz des Libanon.
10 Die Pfosten sind mit Silber beschlagen
und die Lehnen mit Gold überzogen.
Der Stoff des Thronsitzes ist purpurrot,
liebevoll bestickt von Jerusalems Frauen.
11 Kommt heraus, ihr Mädchen von Jerusalem!
Seht König Salomo mit seiner Krone!
Heute hat seine Mutter ihn damit geschmückt,
am Tag seiner Hochzeit, am Tag seines Glücks!
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)
