Kidung Agung 3

1 Malam-malam, di ranjangku, dalam mimpi kucari kekasihku; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia.

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.

2 Aku mau bangun dan keliling kota, menjelajahi semua jalan dan lorongnya. Aku mau mencari jantung hatiku; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia.

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.

3 Aku ditemui peronda kota, dan kutanya, "Apakah kamu melihat jantung hatiku?"

The watchmen who go their rounds in the city found me. [I said], Have you seen him whom my soul loves?

4 Baru saja kutinggalkan mereka, kutemui jantung hatiku. Kupegang dia, dan tidak kulepaskan sampai kubawa ke rumah ibuku, ke bilik orang yang melahirkan aku.

[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.

5 Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, demi rusa-rusa dan kijang-kijang di padang, bahwa kamu takkan mengganggu cinta, sampai ia dipuaskan.

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.

6 Apakah itu yang datang dari padang gurun, menyerupai gumpalan asap? Wanginya seperti mur dan kemenyan, dan bedak-bedak harum dari pedagang.

Who is this that comes up from the wilderness as pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the perfumer?

7 Lihat, itu tandu Salomo, dikelilingi enam puluh orang perkasa, orang-orang perkasa Israel,

Behold Solomon's bed; sixty mighty men of the mighty ones of Israel are round about it.

8 yang berpengalaman dalam perang. Mereka semua membawa pedang di pinggang siap menghadapi serangan di waktu malam.

They all hold a sword, being expert in war: every man [has] his sword upon his thigh because of fear by night.

9 Salomo membuatkan dirinya sebuah tandu, dari kayu yang paling bermutu.

King Solomon made himself a litter of woods of Lebanon.

10 Tiangnya terbuat dari perak, dan sandarannya dari emas. Tempat duduknya berwarna ungu, disulam dengan senang hati oleh putri-putri Yerusalem.

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.

11 Keluarlah, hai putri-putri Sion, tengoklah Raja Salomo dengan mahkota yang dipasang ibunya, pada hari nikahnya, pada hari ia bersukaria.

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.
