< 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.
On bed my in the nights I sought whom it loves self my I sought him and not I found him.
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.
I will arise please and I will go around in the city in the streets and in the open places I will seek whom it loves self my I sought him and not I found him.
3 The watchers who guard the city found me: “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
They found me the watchmen who go around in the city whom it loves self my have you seen?
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.
Like a little that I had passed away from them until that I found whom it loves self my I grasped him and not I let go him until that I had brought him to [the] house of mother my and to [the] room of [the one who] conceived me.
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.
I adjure you O daughters of Jerusalem by gazelles or by [the] does of the field if you will awaken - and if you will arouse love until that it will please.
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?
Who? this [is] coming up from the wilderness like columns of smoke [who is] perfumed of myrrh and frankincense from all [the] scent-powder of a trader.
7 Chorus to Bride: Lo, sixty strong ones, out of all the strongest in Israel, stand watch at the bed of Solomon,
There! bed his which [belongs] to Solomon sixty warriors [are] around it some of [the] warriors of Israel.
8 all holding swords and well-trained in warfare, each one’s weapon upon his thigh, because of fears in the night.
All of them [are] grasped of a sword [are] trained of warfare each one sword his [is] on thigh his from dread in the nights.
9 Bride to Chorus: King Solomon made himself a portable throne from the wood of Lebanon.
A litter he has made for himself the king Solomon from [the] wood of Lebanon.
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.
Posts its he made silver back its gold seat its purple wool middle its [was] fitted out leather from [the] daughters of Jerusalem.
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.
Come out - and look O daughters of Zion on the king Solomon on the crown that crowned him mother his on [the] day of wedding his and on [the] day of [the] rejoicing of heart his.
