This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
3 On my bed in the night, I search for the one that my soul loves.
≈ I searched for him, but I didn’t find him.
2 I’ll get up now and go about in the city—
in the streets and in the town squares.
I will search for the man who my soul loves.
I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.
3 The guards going around in the city found me:
“Have you seen the man whom my soul loves?”
4 I’d hardly passed by the guards
when I found him whom my soul loves.
I held him and I wouldn’t let him go
until I’d brought him to my mother’s house
≈ and to the room of the woman who conceived me.
5 I strongly advise you, young women of Yerushalem (Jerusalem),
by the female gazelles or the does in the countryside,
don’t awaken or stir love until it pleases.
3:6 The third song
The bride
6 Who’s that coming up from the wilderness like columns of smoke—
fragrant smoke of myrrh and frankincense from all the merchant’s powders?
7 Look, it’s his chair carried on poles.
It belongs to Shelomoh (Solomon) and sixty Israeli warriors surround it.
8 Each of them is studied in war and holding a sword.
Each one has his sword at his thigh against the dangers in the nights.
9 King Shelomoh had a chair carried on poles made for himself
10 Its posts were made of silver, its back, gold, and its seat, purple cloth.
Its interior was decorated with love by Yerushalem’s (Jerusalem’s) young women.
11 Go out and look, young women of Tsiyon (Zion), at King Shelomoh.
