1 By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn't find him.

1 עַל־מִשְׁכָּבִי֙ בַּלֵּילֹ֔ות בִּקַּ֕שְׁתִּי אֵ֥ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י בִּקַּשְׁתִּ֖יו וְלֹ֥א מְצָאתִֽיו׃

Ark.au Illustrated Bible - Song of Solomon 3:1 - By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn't find him.

2 I will get up now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn't find him.

2 אָק֨וּמָה נָּ֜א וַאֲסֹובְבָ֣ה בָעִ֗יר בַּשְּׁוָקִים֙ וּבָ֣רְחֹבֹ֔ות אֲבַקְשָׁ֕ה אֵ֥ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י בִּקַּשְׁתִּ֖יו וְלֹ֥א מְצָאתִֽיו׃

3 The watchmen who go about the city found me; "Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"

3 מְצָא֙וּנִי֙ הַשֹּׁ֣מְרִ֔ים הַסֹּבְבִ֖ים בָּעִ֑יר אֵ֛ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖י רְאִיתֶֽם׃

4 I had scarcely passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, Into the chamber of her who conceived me.

4 כִּמְעַט֙ שֶׁעָבַ֣רְתִּי מֵהֶ֔ם עַ֣ד שֶֽׁמָּצָ֔אתִי אֵ֥ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י אֲחַזְתִּיו֙ וְלֹ֣א אַרְפֶּ֔נּוּ עַד־שֶׁ֤הֲבֵיאתִיו֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית אִמִּ֔י וְאֶל־חֶ֖דֶר הֹורָתִֽי׃

5 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes, or by the hinds of the field, That you not stir up, nor awaken love, Until it so desires.

5 הִשְׁבַּ֨עְתִּי אֶתְכֶ֜ם בְּנֹ֤ות יְרוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ בִּצְבָאֹ֔ות אֹ֖ו בְּאַיְלֹ֣ות הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה אִם־תָּעִ֧ירוּ׀ וְֽאִם־תְּעֹֽורְר֛וּ אֶת־הָאַהֲבָ֖ה עַ֥ד שֶׁתֶּחְפָּֽץ׃

6 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all spices of the merchant?

6 מִ֣י זֹ֗את עֹלָה֙ מִן־הַמִּדְבָּ֔ר כְּתִֽימֲרֹ֖ות עָשָׁ֑ן מְקֻטֶּ֤רֶת מֹור֙ וּלְבֹונָ֔ה מִכֹּ֖ל אַבְקַ֥ת רֹוכֵֽל׃

7 Behold, it is Solomon's carriage! Sixty mighty men are around it, Of the mighty men of Israel.

7 הִנֵּ֗ה מִטָּתֹו֙ שֶׁלִּשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה שִׁשִּׁ֥ים גִּבֹּרִ֖ים סָבִ֣יב לָ֑הּ מִגִּבֹּרֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

Ark.au Illustrated Bible - Song of Solomon 3:7 - Behold, it is Solomon's carriage! Sixty mighty men are around it, Of the mighty men of Israel.

8 They all handle the sword, and are expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh, Because of fear in the night.

8 כֻּלָּם֙3 אֲחֻ֣זֵי חֶ֔רֶב מְלֻמְּדֵ֖י מִלְחָמָ֑ה אִ֤ישׁ חַרְבֹּו֙ עַל־יְרֵכֹ֔ו מִפַּ֖חַד בַּלֵּילֹֽות׃

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

9 אַפִּרְיֹ֗ון עָ֤שָׂה לֹו֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה מֵעֲצֵ֖י הַלְּבָנֹֽון׃

10 He made its pillars of silver, Its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, Its midst being paved with love, From the daughters of Jerusalem.

10 עַמּוּדָיו֙ עָ֣שָׂה כֶ֔סֶף רְפִידָתֹ֣ו זָהָ֔ב מֶרְכָּבֹ֖ו אַרְגָּמָ֑ן תֹּוכֹו֙ רָצ֣וּף אַהֲבָ֔ה מִבְּנֹ֖ות יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃

11 Go forth, you daughters of Zion, and see king Solomon, With the crown with which his mother has crowned him, In the day of his weddings, In the day of the gladness of his heart. Lover

11 צְאֶ֧ינָה׀ וּֽרְאֶ֛ינָה בְּנֹ֥ות צִיֹּ֖ון בַּמֶּ֣לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֑ה בָּעֲטָרָ֗ה שֶׁעִטְּרָה־לֹּ֤ו אִמֹּו֙ בְּיֹ֣ום חֲתֻנָּתֹ֔ו וּבְיֹ֖ום שִׂמְחַ֥ת לִבֹּֽו׃
