 Revised Standard VersionSong of Songs:3Biblia Hebraica (Stuttgartensia) | BHS (pdf - 3.5mb)  

1 Upon my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loves;
I sought him, but found him not;
I called him, but he gave no answer.
 עַל־מִשְׁכָּבִי בַּלֵּילֹות בִּקַּשְׁתִּי אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי בִּקַּשְׁתִּיו וְלֹא מְצָאתִיו׃
2 "I will rise 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 found him not.
 אָקוּמָה נָּא וַאֲסֹובְבָה בָעִיר בַּשְּׁוָקִים וּבָרְחֹבֹות אֲבַקְשָׁה אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי בִּקַּשְׁתִּיו וְלֹא מְצָאתִיו׃
3 The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city.
"Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"
 מְצָאוּנִי הַשֹּׁמְרִים הַסֹּבְבִים בָּעִיר אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי רְאִיתֶם׃
4 Scarcely had I passed 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,
and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
 כִּמְעַט שֶׁעָבַרְתִּי מֵהֶם עַד שֶׁמָּצָאתִי אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי אֲחַזְתִּיו וְלֹא אַרְפֶּנּוּ עַד־שֶׁהֲבֵיאתִיו אֶל־בֵּית אִמִּי וְאֶל־חֶדֶר הֹורָתִי׃
5 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles or the hinds of the field,
that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.
 הִשְׁבַּעְתִּי אֶתְכֶם בְּנֹות יְרוּשָׁלִַם בִּצְבָאֹות אֹו בְּאַיְלֹות הַשָּׂדֶה אִם־תָּעִירוּ וְאִם־תְּעֹורְרוּ אֶת־הָאַהֲבָה עַד שֶׁתֶּחְפָּץ׃ ס
6 What is that coming up from the wilderness,
like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?
The third song. She. Sg.3.6-11מִי זֹאת עֹלָה מִן־הַמִּדְבָּר כְּתִימֲרֹות עָשָׁן מְקֻטֶּרֶת מֹור וּלְבֹונָה מִכֹּל אַבְקַת רֹוכֵל׃
7 Behold, it is the litter of Solomon!
About it are sixty mighty men of the mighty men of Israel,
 הִנֵּה מִטָּתֹו שֶׁלִּשְׁלֹמֹה שִׁשִּׁים גִּבֹּרִים סָבִיב לָהּ מִגִּבֹּרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
8 all girt with swords and expert in war,
each with his sword at his thigh,
against alarms by night.
 כֻּלָּמ אֲחֻזֵי חֶרֶב מְלֻמְּדֵי מִלְחָמָה אִישׁ חַרְבֹּו עַל־יְרֵכֹו מִפַּחַד בַּלֵּילֹות׃ ס
9 King Solomon made himself a palanquin from the wood of Lebanon.
 אַפִּרְיֹון עָשָׂה לֹו הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה מֵעֲצֵי הַלְּבָנֹון׃
10 He made its posts of silver, its back of gold, its seat of purple;
it was lovingly wrought within by the daughters of Jerusalem.
 עַמּוּדָיו עָשָׂה כֶסֶף רְפִידָתֹו זָהָב מֶרְכָּבֹו אַרְגָּמָן תֹּוכֹו רָצוּף אַהֲבָה מִבְּנֹות יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃
11 Go forth, O daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon,
with the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding,
on the day of the gladness of his heart.
 צְאֶינָה וּרְאֶינָה בְּנֹות צִיֹּון בַּמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה בָּעֲטָרָה שֶׁעִטְּרָה־לֹּו אִמֹּו בְּיֹום חֲתֻנָּתֹו וּבְיֹום שִׂמְחַת לִבֹּו׃ ס
