Song of Songs 3
1 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he listened not to me.
夜われ床にありて我心の愛する者をたづねしが尋ねたれども得ず
2 I will rise now, and go about in the city, in the marketplaces, and in the streets, and I will seek him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I found him not.
我おもへらく今おきて邑をまはりありき わが心の愛する者を街衢あるひは大路にてたづねんと 乃ちこれを尋ねたれども得ざりき
3 The watchmen who go their rounds in the city found me. [I said], Have you seen him whom my soul loves?
邑をまはりありく夜巡者らわれに遇ひければ 汝らわが心の愛する者を見しやと問ひ
4 [It was] as a little [while] after I parted from them, that I found him whom my soul loves: I held him, and did not let him go, until I brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
これに別れて過ゆき間もなくわが心の愛する者の遇たれば 之をひきとめて放さず 遂にわが母の家にともなひゆき 我を産し者の室にいりぬ
5 I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and by the virtues of the field, that you rouse not nor awake [my] love, until he please.
エルサレムの女子等よ 我なんぢらに獐と野の鹿とをさし誓ひて請ふ 愛のおのづから起る時まで殊更に喚起し且つ醒すなかれ
6 Who is this that comes up from the wilderness as pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the perfumer?
この沒藥乳香など商人のもろもろの薫物をもて身をかをらせ 煙の柱のごとくして荒野より來る者は誰ぞや
7 Behold Solomon's bed; sixty mighty men of the mighty ones of Israel are round about it.
視よ こはソロモンの乗輿にして 勇士六十人その周圍にあり イスラエルの勇士なり
8 They all hold a sword, being expert in war: every man [has] his sword upon his thigh because of fear by night.
みな刀劍を執り 戰鬪を善す 各人腰に刀劍を帶て夜の警誡に備ふ
9 King Solomon made himself a litter of woods of Lebanon.
ソロモン王レバノンの木をもて己のために輿をつくれり
10 He made the pillars of it silver, the bottom of it gold, the covering of it scarlet, in the midst of it a pavement of love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
その柱は白銀 その欄杆は黄金 その座は紫色にて作り その内部にはイスラエルの女子等が愛をもて繍たる物を張つく シオンの女子等よ 出きたりてソロモン王を見よ かれは婚姻の日 心の喜べる日にその母の己にかうぶらしし冠冕を戴けり
11 Go forth, you daughters of Sion, 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.
