Song of Solomon 3

فِي اللَّيْلِ عَلَى فِرَاشِي طَلَبْتُ مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ نَفْسِي. طَلَبْتُهُ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ.
By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
إِنِّي أَقُومُ وَأَطُوفُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، فِي الأَسْوَاقِ وَفِي الشَّوَارِعِ، أَطْلُبُ مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ نَفْسِي. طَلَبْتُهُ فَمَا وَجَدْتُهُ.
I 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.
وَجَدَنِي الْحَرَسُ الطَّائِفُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، فَقُلْتُ: «أَرَأَيْتُمْ مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ نَفْسِي؟»
The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
فَمَا جَاوَزْتُهُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ نَفْسِي، فَأَمْسَكْتُهُ وَلَمْ أَرْخِهِ، حَتَّى أَدْخَلْتُهُ بَيْتَ أُمِّي وَحُجْرَةَ مَنْ حَبِلَتْ بِي.
It 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.
أُحَلِّفُكُنَّ يَا بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِالظِّبَاءِ وَبِأَيَائِلِ الْحَقْلِ، أَلاَّ تُيَقِّظْنَ وَلاَ تُنَبِّهْنَ الْحَبِيبَ حَتَّى يَشَاءَ.
I 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.
مَنْ هذِهِ الطَّالِعَةُ مِنَ الْبَرِّيَّةِ كَأَعْمِدَةٍ مِنْ دُخَانٍ، مُعَطَّرَةً بِالْمُرِّ وَاللُّبَانِ وَبِكُلِّ أَذِرَّةِ التَّاجِرِ؟
Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
هُوَذَا تَخْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَوْلَهُ سِتُّونَ جَبَّارًا مِنْ جَبَابِرَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
كُلُّهُمْ قَابِضُونَ سُيُوفًا وَمُتَعَلِّمُونَ الْحَرْبَ. كُلُّ رَجُل سَيْفُهُ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ مِنْ هَوْلِ اللَّيْلِ.
They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
اَلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ عَمِلَ لِنَفْسِهِ تَخْتًا مِنْ خَشَبِ لُبْنَانَ.
King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
عَمِلَ أَعْمِدَتَهُ فِضَّةً، وَرَوَافِدَهُ ذَهَبًا، وَمَقْعَدَهُ أُرْجُوانًا، وَوَسَطَهُ مَرْصُوفًا مَحَبَّةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ.
He 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.
اُخْرُجْنَ يَا بَنَاتِ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَانْظُرْنَ الْمَلِكَ سُلَيْمَانَ بِالتَّاجِ الَّذِي تَوَّجَتْهُ بِهِ أُمُّهُ فِي يَوْمِ عُرْسِهِ، وَفِي يَوْمِ فَرَحِ قَلْبِهِ.
Go 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.
