< Song of Solomon 3 >

1 In my bed by night I sought him that my soule loued: I sought him, but I found him not.
Sou kabann mwen, pandan nwit la, mwen te chache sila ke nanm mwen renmen an. Mwen te chache l, men m pa t jwenn li.
2 I will rise therefore nowe, and goe about in the citie, by the streetes and by the open places, and wil seeke him that my soule loueth: I sought him, but I found him not.
Koulye a fòk mwen leve mache toupatou nan vil la; nan ri yo ak nan plas yo. Fòk mwen chache sila ke nanm mwen renmen an. Mwen te chache l, men m pa t jwenn li.
3 The watchmen that went about the citie, found mee: to whome I said, Haue you seene him, whome my soule loueth?
Gadyen ki fè tou vil la te twouve m. Mwen te mande l: “Èske ou konn wè sila ke nanm mwen renmen an?”
4 When I had past a litle from them, then I found him whom my soule loued: I tooke holde on him and left him not, till I had brought him vnto my mothers house into the chamber of her that conceiued me.
Lè m fenk kite yo mwen te jwenn sila ke nanm mwen renmen an. Mwen te kenbe l, mwen te refize lage l jiskaske mwen mennen l rive lakay manman m, pou l antre nan chanm a sila ki te vin ansent mwen an.
5 I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, by the roes and by the hindes of the fielde, that ye stirre not vp, nor waken my loue vntill she please.
M ap avèti nou, O fi a Jérusalem yo, nan non antilòp ak bich mawon an, pou nou pa fè lanmou leve ni ouvri zye l jiskaske se plezi li.
6 Who is shee that commeth vp out of the wildernes like pillars of smoke perfumed with myrrhe and incense, and with all the spices of the marchant?
Se kisa k ap monte kite dezè a tankou pilye lafimen yo, byen pafime ak fèy bazilik ak lansan, plen ak poud santi bon machann yo?
7 Beholde his bed, which is Salomons: threescore strong men are round about it, of the valiant men of Israel.
Gade byen, se kanape vwayaj Salomon k ap monte; swasant òm pwisan kap antoure l, mesye pwisan Israël yo.
8 They all handle the sworde, and are expert in warre, euery one hath his sword vpon his thigh for the feare by night.
Yo tout ki konn manyen nepe, ki fò nan afè lagè; chak mesye gen nepe l bò kote li, pou fè gad kont menas lannwit yo.
9 King Salomon made himselfe a palace of the trees of Lebanon.
Wa Salomon te fè pou kont li yon kanape vwayaj ak bwa Liban an.
10 Hee made the pillars thereof of siluer, and the pauement thereof of gold, the hangings thereof of purple, whose middes was paued with the loue of the daughters of Ierusalem.
Li te fè pye li ak ajan e repo pou do a ak lò. Kote pou chita a fabrike ak twal mov, e tout anndan li byen dekore pa fi Jérusalem yo.
11 Come forth, ye daughters of Zion, and behold the King Salomon with the crowne, wherewith his mother crowned him in ye day of his mariage, and in the day of the gladnes of his heart.
Ale, O fi a Sion yo, e fikse byen Wa Salomon ak kouwòn sila a manman l te kouwone l nan jou fèt maryaj li, nan jou kè kontan li an.
