Song of Solomon 3
1 All through the night [while I lay] on my bed, I longed for the one whom I love. I desired for him [to come], but he did not come.
De noite busquei em minha cama a quem a minha alma ama: busquei-o, e não o achei.
2 [So I said to myself], “I will get up now and walk around the city, through the streets and plazas, to search for the one whom I love.” [So] I [got up and] searched for him, but I could not find him.
Levantar-me-ei, pois, e rodearei a cidade; pelas ruas e pelas praças buscarei a quem ama a minha alma: busquei-o; e não o achei.
3 The city watchmen saw me while they were patrolling/walking around the city. [I asked them], “Have you seen the one whom I love?”
Acharam-me os guardas, que rondavam pela cidade: eu lhes perguntei: Vistes a quem ama a minha alma?
4 As soon as I walked past them, I found the one whom I love. I clung to him and would not let him go until I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room where my mother had conceived me (OR, where I was born).
Apartando-me eu um pouco deles, logo achei a quem ama a minha alma: agarrei-me a ele, e não o larguei, até que o introduzi em casa de minha mãe, na câmara daquela que me gerou.
5 You women of Jerusalem, solemnly promise me, while the does and gazelles [are listening], that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.
Conjuro-vos, ó filhas de Jerusalém, pelas corças e cervas do campo, que não acordeis, nem desperteis o meu amor, até que queira.
6 Who is it that is coming from the desert, who is [stirring up dust] like a column of smoke from burning myrrh and incense [made from] spices [imported by] merchants?
Quem é esta que sobe do deserto, como umas colunas de fumo, perfumada de mirra, de incenso, e de toda a sorte de pós do especieiro?
7 It is [Solomon], [sitting in] his portable chair surrounded by 60 bodyguards chosen from the strongest/greatest warriors in Israel.
Eis que é a cama de Salomão; sessenta valentes estão ao redor dela, dos valentes de Israel:
8 They all have swords and they [all] (are trained to/know well how to) use them. Each one has his sword [strapped to] his side and [is prepared to defend Solomon from] dangers that might occur even during the night.
Todos armados de espadas, dextros na guerra: cada um com a sua espada à coxa por causa dos temores noturnos.
9 King Solomon [commanded his servants] to make that portable chair for him; [it was made] with wood from Lebanon.
O rei Salomão fez para si um tálamo de madeira do líbano.
10 The [canopy that covered it] was (held up/supported) by posts made of silver, and the back of the chair was [embroidered] with gold. The seat/cushion was covered with purple cloth lovingly made/woven by the women of Jerusalem.
Fez-lhe as colunas de prata, o estrado de ouro, o assento de púrpura, o interior coberto com o amor das filhas de Jerusalém.
11 You women of Jerusalem, come and look at King Solomon wearing the headdress that his mother put on his head on the day when he was married, the day when he [SYN] was very happy.
Saí, ó filhas de Sião, e contemplai ao rei Salomão com a coroa com que o coroou sua mãe no dia do seu desposório e no dia do júbilo do seu coração.
