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 I did not find him.
2 Aku mau bangun dan keliling kota, menjelajahi semua jalan dan lorongnya. Aku mau mencari jantung hatiku; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia.
I will get up now, and go about the city; in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I did not find him.
3 Aku ditemui peronda kota, dan kutanya, "Apakah kamu melihat jantung hatiku?"
The watchmen who go about the city found me; "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.
I had scarcely passed from them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, into the chamber of her who 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 adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by the does of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
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 who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all spices of the merchant?
7 Lihat, itu tandu Salomo, dikelilingi enam puluh orang perkasa, orang-orang perkasa Israel,
Look, it is Solomon's carriage. Sixty mighty men are around it, of the mighty men of Israel.
8 yang berpengalaman dalam perang. Mereka semua membawa pedang di pinggang siap menghadapi serangan di waktu malam.
They all handle the sword, and are expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh, because of fear in the night.
9 Salomo membuatkan dirinya sebuah tandu, dari kayu yang paling bermutu.
King Solomon made himself a carriage of the wood 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 its pillars of silver, its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, its midst being paved with love, from 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 Zion, and see king Solomon, with the crown with which his mother has crowned him, in the day of his weddings, in the day of the gladness of his heart.
