Cantar de los Cantares 3

El libro del Pueblo de Dios	King James Bible
¹ En mi lecho, durante la noche, busqué al amado de mi alma. ¡Lo busqué y no lo encontré!	¹ By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
² Me levantaré y recorreré la ciudad; por las calles y las plazas, buscaré al amado de mi alma. ¡Lo busqué y no lo encontré!	² I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
³ Me encontraron los centinelas que hacen la ronda por la ciudad: «¿Han visto al amado de mi alma?».	³ The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
⁴ Apenas los había pasado, encontré al amado de mi alma. Lo agarré, y no lo soltaré hasta que lo haya hecho entrar en la casa de mi madre, en la habitación de la que me engendró. [El Amado]	⁴ It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
⁵ ¡Júrenme, hijas de Jerusalén, por las gacelas y las ciervas del campo, que no despertarán ni desvelarán a mi amor, hasta que ella quiera. [Coro]	⁵ I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
⁶ ¿Qué es eso que sube del desierto, como una columna de humo, perfumada de mirra y de incienso y de todos los perfumes exóticos? [La Amada]	⁶ Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
⁷ ¡Es la litera de Salomón! La rodean setenta guerreros, de los más valientes de Israel:	⁷ Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
⁸ todos ellos provistos de espada, adiestrados para el combate, cada uno con su espada a la cintura por temor a los peligros de la noche.	⁸ They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
⁹ El rey Salomón se hizo una litera con maderas del Líbano.	⁹ King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
¹⁰ Sus columnas las hizo de plata, su respaldo de oro, su asiento de púrpura, con el interior revestido de ébano. Hijas de Jerusalén,	¹⁰ He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
¹¹ salgan a contemplar al rey Salomón, con la corona que le ciñó su madre, el día de su boda, el día de su alegría.	¹¹ Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
