\q1
|
|
\v 1 During the entire night while I lay on my bed,
|
|
\q2 I was longing to see the one I love with all my heart.
|
|
\q1 I wanted him to come,
|
|
\q2 but he did not.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 So I said to myself,
|
|
\q1 "I will get up now and walk around the city,
|
|
\q2 through the streets and plazas,
|
|
\q2 to search for the one whom I love with all my heart."
|
|
\q1 So I got up and went out to look for him,
|
|
\q2 but I could not find him.

\v 3 The city watchmen saw me
|
|
\q2 while they were patrolling in the city.
|
|
\q1 I asked them,
|
|
\q2 "Have you seen the one whom I love with all my heart?"
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 As soon as I walked past them,
|
|
\q2 I found the one whom I love with all my heart.
|
|
\q1 I clung to him and would not let him go
|
|
\q2 until I brought him to my mother's house,
|
|
\q2 to the room where my mother had conceived me.

|
|
\v 5 You women of Jerusalem,
|
|
\q2 solemnly promise me, while the does and gazelles are listening, that you will not
|
|
\q1 disturb us while we are making love
|
|
\q2 until we are ready to stop.

\v 6 What is that I see coming from the wilderness,
|
|
\q2 something that is stirring up dust like a column of smoke
|
|
\q1 like smoke from burning myrrh and incense
|
|
\q2 made from spices imported by merchants?
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 It is Solomon's litter carried by servants and
|
|
\q2 surrounded by sixty bodyguards
|
|
\q2 chosen from the strongest soldiers in Israel.

\v 8 They all have swords
|
|
\q2 and they all are trained to use them.
|
|
\q1 Each one has his sword strapped to his side
|
|
\q2 and is prepared for dangers that can happen during the night or day.
|

\q1
|
|
\v 9 King Solomon commanded his servants to make that litter for him;
|
|
\q2 it was made with wood from Lebanon.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 The canopy that covered it was held up by silver posts,
|
|
\q2 and the back of the litter was embroidered with gold.
|
|
\q1 The seat was covered with purple cloth
|
|
\q2 lovingly made by the women of Jerusalem.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 You women of Jerusalem,
|
|
\q2 come and look at King Solomon
|
|
\q1 wearing the headdress that his mother put on his head
|
|
\q2 on the day when he was married,
|
|
\q1 the happiest day of his life.
