Readers’ Version

Literal Version

3On my bed in the night, I search for the one that my soul loves.

≈ I searched for him, but I didn’t find him.

2I’ll get up now and go about in the city

in the streets and in the squares.

I will search for the man who my soul loves.

I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.

3The guards going around in the city found me:

“Have you seen the man whom my soul loves?”

4I’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.

5I strongly advise you, young women of Yerushalem,

by the female gazelles or the does in the countryside,

don’t awaken or stir love until it pleases.

3on bed_of_my in_nights I_sought DOM the_one_whom_it_loves self_of_my I_sought_him and_not I_found_him.

The bride

6Who’s that coming up from the wilderness like columns of smoke—

fragrant smoke of myrrh and frankincense from all the merchant’s powders?

7Look, it’s his chair carried on poles.

It belongs to Shelomoh (Solomon) and sixty Israeli warriors surround it.

8Each of them is studied in war and holding a sword.

Each one has his sword at his thigh against the dangers in the nights.

9King Shelomoh had a chair carried on poles made for himself

from the trees from Lebanon.

10Its posts were made of silver, its back, gold, and its seat, purple cloth.

Its interior was decorated with love by Yerushalem’s young women.

11Go out and look, young women of Tsiyyon, at King Shelomoh.

Look at the crown his mother crowned him with

on the day of his wedding

on the day that his heart was filled with happiness.
