1By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.
1佳偶寻找良人
2I 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我说：“我要起来，走遍全城，在街上，在广场上，寻找我心所爱的。”我寻找他，却找不到他。
3The watchmen who go about the city found me; “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
3城中的守卫巡逻的时候，找着我；我就问他们：“你们有没有看见我心所爱的？”
4I 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 room of her who conceived me.
4我刚刚离开他们，就遇见我心所爱的；我把他拉住，不让他走，等到我带他到我母亲的家，进到怀我者的内室。
5I 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耶路撒冷的众女子啊！我指着羚羊、田间的母鹿恳求你们，不要惊动他，不要挑起他的爱情，等它自发吧。

6所罗门的迎亲队伍那从旷野上来，好像烟柱；用商人贩卖的各种香粉、没药和乳香熏过的，是谁呢？

8个个手拿武器，能征惯战；各人腿上配有利剑，以防夜间的袭击。
9King Solomon made himself a carriage of the wood of Lebanon.
