Song of Solomon 3

1 Bride: On my bed, throughout the night, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, and did not find him.

我夜间躺卧在床上， 寻找我心所爱的； 我寻找他，却寻不见。

2 I will rise up, and I will circle through the city. Through the side streets and thoroughfares, I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, and did not find him.

我说：我要起来，游行城中， 在街市上，在宽阔处， 寻找我心所爱的。 我寻找他，却寻不见。

3 The watchers who guard the city found me: “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”

城中巡逻看守的人遇见我； 我问他们：你们看见我心所爱的没有？

4 When I had passed by them a little, I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not release him, until I would bring him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her who bore me.

我刚离开他们就遇见我心所爱的。 我拉住他，不容他走， 领他入我母家， 到怀我者的内室。

5 Groom to Chorus: I bind you by oath, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the does and the stags of the open field, not to disturb or awaken the beloved, until she wills.

耶路撒冷的众女子啊， 我指着羚羊或田野的母鹿嘱咐你们： 不要惊动、不要叫醒我所亲爱的， 等他自己情愿。

6 Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who ascends through the desert, like a staff of smoke from the aromatics of myrrh, and frankincense, and every powder of the perfumer?

那从旷野上来、形状如烟柱、 以没药和乳香并商人各样香粉薰的是谁呢？

7 Chorus to Bride: Lo, sixty strong ones, out of all the strongest in Israel, stand watch at the bed of Solomon,

看哪，是所罗门的轿； 四围有六十个勇士， 都是以色列中的勇士；

8 all holding swords and well-trained in warfare, each one’s weapon upon his thigh, because of fears in the night.

手都持刀，善于争战， 腰间佩刀，防备夜间有惊慌。

9 Bride to Chorus: King Solomon made himself a portable throne from the wood of Lebanon.

所罗门王用黎巴嫩木 为自己制造一乘华轿。

10 He made its columns of silver, the reclining place of gold, the ascent of purple; the middle he covered well, out of charity for the daughters of Jerusalem.

轿柱是用银做的， 轿底是用金做的； 坐垫是紫色的， 其中所铺的乃耶路撒冷众女子的爱情。

11 O daughters of Zion, go forth and see king Solomon with the diadem with which his mother crowned him, on the day of his espousal, on the day of the rejoicing of his heart.

锡安的众女子啊， 你们出去观看所罗门王！ 头戴冠冕，就是在他婚筵的日子、 心中喜乐的时候，他母亲给他戴上的。
