1All night long on my bed
I looked for the one my heart loves;
I looked for him but did not find him.
2I will get up now and go about the city,
through its streets and squares;
I will search for the one my heart loves.
So I looked for him but did not find him.
3The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.
‘Have you seen the one my heart loves?’
4Scarcely had I passed them
when I found the one my heart loves.
I held him and would not let him go
till I had brought him to my mother’s house,
to the room of the one who conceived me.
5Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.
6Who is this coming up from the wilderness
like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and incense
made from all the spices of the merchant?
7Look! It is Solomon’s carriage,
escorted by sixty warriors,
the noblest of Israel,
8all of them wearing the sword,
all experienced in battle,
each with his sword at his side,
prepared for the terrors of the night.
9King Solomon made for himself the carriage;
he made it of wood from Lebanon.
10Its posts he made of silver,
its base of gold.
Its seat was upholstered with purple,
its interior inlaid with love.
Daughters of Jerusalem, 11come out,
and look, you daughters of Zion.
Look3:10,11 Or interior lovingly inlaid / by the daughters of Jerusalem. / 11 Come out, you daughters of Zion, / and look on King Solomon wearing a crown,
the crown with which his mother crowned him
on the day of his wedding,
the day his heart rejoiced.
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。
