1By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. 2I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. 3The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 4It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. 5I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
6¶ Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
7Behold his bed, which is Solomon’s; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. 8They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night. 9King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.3.9 a chariot: or, a bed 10He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem. 11Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, 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.
1我夜晚躺在床上，
思念着我心爱的人；
我寻找他，却找不到。
2我要起来寻遍城里的大街小巷，
我要寻找我心爱的人。
我寻找他，却寻不到。
3遇上了城中巡逻的守卫，
我就问他们：“你们看到我心爱的人了吗？”
4我刚离开他们，便找到了我心爱的人。
我拉着他，不让他走；
我把他带回娘家，
到怀我者的卧室。
5耶路撒冷的少女啊！
我指着羚羊和田野的母鹿吩咐你们，
不要叫醒或惊动爱情，
等它自发吧。
耶路撒冷的少女：
6那从旷野上来，形状像烟柱，
散发着商人贩卖的没药、乳香等各样芬芳之气的是什么呢？
7看啊，是所罗门的轿子，
周围是六十名勇士，
都是以色列的精兵。
8他们个个骁勇善战，手持利剑，
腰配战刀，防备夜间的偷袭。
9所罗门王用黎巴嫩木为自己制造了一顶轿子。
10银轿柱、金靠背、紫锦坐垫，
轿子里面的装饰都是耶路撒冷少女们用爱情编织的。
11锡安的少女啊，
出去看看所罗门王的风采吧！
他头上的王冠是他母亲在他成婚那天，
在他心中欢快之日为他戴上的。
