Canticle of Canticles 3

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 On my bed at night I sought the man who is my sweetheart: I sought but could not find him!	1 επι κοιτην μου εν νυξιν εζητησα ον ηγαπησεν η ψυχη μου εζητησα αυτον και ουχ ευρον αυτον εκαλεσα αυτον και ουχ υπηκουσεν μου
2 So I shal get up and go through the city; in the streets and in the squares, I shall seek my sweetheart. Isought but could not find him!	2 αναστησομαι δη και κυκλωσω εν τη πολει εν ταις αγοραις και εν ταις πλατειαις και ζητησω ον ηγαπησεν η ψυχη μου εζητησα αυτον και ουχ ευρον αυτον
3 I came upon the watchmen -- those who go on their rounds in the city: 'Have you seen my sweetheart?'	3 ευροσαν με οι τηρουντες οι κυκλουντες εν τη πολει μη ον ηγαπησεν η ψυχη μου ειδετε
4 Barely had I passed them when I found my sweetheart. I caught him, would not let him go, not til I hadbrought him to my mother's house, to the room where she conceived me!	4 ως μικρον οτε παρηλθον απ' αυτων εως ου ευρον ον ηγαπησεν η ψυχη μου εκρατησα αυτον και ουκ αφησω αυτον εως ου εισηγαγον αυτον εις οικον μητρος μου και εις ταμιειον της συλλαβουσης με
5 LOVER: I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, by gazel es and wild does, do not rouse, do not wake mybeloved before she pleases.	5 ωρκισα υμας θυγατερες ιερουσαλημ εν ταις δυναμεσιν και εν ταις ισχυσεσιν του αγρου εαν εγειρητε και εξεγειρητε την αγαπην εως αν θεληση
6 POET: What is this coming up from the desert like a column of smoke, breathing of myrrh andfrankincense and every exotic perfume?	6 τις αυτη η αναβαινουσα απο της ερημου ως στελεχη καπνου τεθυμιαμενη σμυρναν και λιβανον απο παντων κονιορτων μυρεψου
7 Here comes Solomon's litter. Around it are sixty champions, the flower of the warriors of Israel;	7 ιδου η κλινη του σαλωμων εξηκοντα δυνατοι κυκλω αυτης απο δυνατων ισραηλ
8 al of them skil ed swordsmen, expert in war. Each man has his sword at his side, against alarms bynight.	8 παντες κατεχοντες ρομφαιαν δεδιδαγμενοι πολεμον ανηρ ρομφαια αυτου επι μηρον αυτου απο θαμβους εν νυξιν
9 King Solomon has had a palanquin made of wood from Lebanon.	9 φορειον εποιησεν εαυτω ο βασιλευς σαλωμων απο ξυλων του λιβανου
10 He has had the posts made of silver, the canopy of gold, the seat of purple; the centre is inlaid withebony.	10 στυλους αυτου εποιησεν αργυριον και ανακλιτον αυτου χρυσεον επιβασις αυτου πορφυρα εντος αυτου λιθοστρωτον αγαπην απο θυγατερων ιερουσαλημ
11 Daughters of Zion, come and see King Solomon, wearing the diadem with which his mother crownedhim on his wedding day, on the day of his heart's joy.	11 εξελθατε και ιδετε εν τω βασιλει σαλωμων εν τω στεφανω ω εστεφανωσεν αυτον η μητηρ αυτου εν ημερα νυμφευσεως αυτου και εν ημερα ευφροσυνης καρδιας αυτου
