1 On my bed, in the nights, I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

2 I will rise now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the broadways Will I seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

3 The watchmen that go about the city found me: -Have ye seen him whom my soul loveth?

4 -Scarcely had I passed from them, When 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.

5 I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, or by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake {my} love, till he please.

6 Who is this, {she} that cometh up from the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all powders of the merchant? ...

7 Behold his couch, Solomon's own: Threescore mighty men are about it, Of the mighty of Israel.

8 They all hold the sword, Experts in war; Each hath his sword upon his thigh Because of alarm in the nights.

9 King Solomon made himself a palanquin Of the wood of Lebanon.

10 Its pillars he made of silver, Its support of gold, Its seat of purple; The midst thereof was paved {with} love By the daughters of Jerusalem.

11 Go forth, 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。
