1 By night on my bed,

I sought him whom my soul loves.

I sought him, but I didn’t find him.

2 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 didn’t find him.

3 The watchmen who go about the city found me;

"Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"

4 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 room of her who conceived me.

5 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,

by the roes, or by the hinds of the field,

that you not stir up nor awaken love,

until it so desires.

6 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 Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage!

Sixty mighty men are around it,

of the mighty men of Israel.

8 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 King Solomon made himself a carriage

of the wood of Lebanon.

10 He made its pillars of silver,

its bottom of gold, its seat of purple,

the middle of it being paved with love,

from the daughters of Jerusalem.

11 Go out, 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.

1 我夜间躺在床上， 寻找我心所爱的， 我寻找他， 却找不到他。

2 我说： "我要起来， 走遍全城， 在街上， 在广场上， 寻找我心所爱的。"我寻找他， 却找不到他。

3 城中的守卫巡逻的时候， 找着我； 我就问他们： "你们有没有看见我心所爱的？"

4 我刚刚离开他们， 就遇见我心所爱的； 我把他拉住， 不让他走， 等到我带他到我母亲的家， 进到怀我者的内室。

5 耶路撒冷的众女子啊！ 我指着羚羊、田间的母鹿恳求你们， 不要惊动他， 不要挑起他的爱情， 等它自发吧。

6 那从旷野上来， 好像烟柱； 用商人贩卖的各种香粉、没药和乳香熏过的， 是谁呢？

7 看哪！ 是所罗门的御轿， 四周有六十个勇士， 都是以色列中的勇士。

8 个个手拿武器， 能征惯战； 各人腿上配有利剑， 以防夜间的袭击。

9 所罗门王用黎巴嫩木， 为自己做了一乘华轿。

10 他用银子做轿柱， 用金子做轿底， 用紫色料子做轿的座垫； 内部所铺设的， 是耶路撒冷众女子的爱情。

11 耶路撒冷的众女子啊！ 锡安的众女子啊！ 你们出来看看所罗门戴着的冠冕， 就是在他结婚的日子， 在他心里喜乐的时候， 他母亲给他戴上的。
