Kidung Agung 3

1 Di atas ranjangku pada malam hari kucari jantung hatiku. Kucari, tetapi tak kutemui dia.

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 hendak bangun dan berkeliling di kota; di jalan-jalan dan di lapangan-lapangan kucari dia, jantung hatiku. Kucari, tetapi tak kutemui dia.

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-peronda kota. "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 aku meninggalkan mereka, kutemui jantung hatiku; kupegang dan tak kulepaskan dia, sampai kubawa dia ke rumah ibuku, ke kamar 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 Kusumpahi kamu, puteri-puteri Yerusalem, demi kijang-kijang atau demi rusa-rusa betina di padang: jangan kamu membangkitkan dan menggerakkan cinta sebelum diingininya!

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 membubung dari padang gurun seperti gumpalan-gumpalan asap tersaput dengan harum mur dan kemenyan dan bau segala macam serbuk wangi 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, itulah joli Salomo, dikelilingi oleh enam puluh pahlawan dari antara pahlawan-pahlawan Israel.

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

8 Semua membawa pedang, terlatih dalam perang, masing-masing dengan pedang pada pinggang karena kedahsyatan malam.

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

9 Raja Salomo membuat bagi dirinya suatu tandu dari kayu Libanon.

King Solomon made himself a litter of woods of Lebanon.

10 Tiang-tiangnya dibuatnya dari perak, sandarannya dari emas, tempat duduknya berwarna ungu, bagian dalamnya dihiasi dengan kayu arang. Hai puteri-puteri 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 puteri-puteri Sion, keluarlah dan tengoklah raja Salomo dengan mahkota yang dikenakan kepadanya oleh ibunya pada hari pernikahannya, pada hari kesukaan hatinya.

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.
