By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he hearkened not to me.

ΕΠΙ κοίτην μου ἐν νυξὶν ἐζήτησα ὃν ἠγάπησεν ἡ ψυχή μου· ἐζήτησα αὐτὸν καὶ οὐχ εὗρον αὐτόν· ἐκάλεσα αὐτόν, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσέ μου.

На ло́жи мое́мъ въ но́щехъ и҆ска́хъ, є҆го́же возлюбѝ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀, и҆ска́хъ є҆го̀, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣто́хъ є҆гѡ̀: воззва́хъ є҆го̀, и҆ не послꙋ́ша менѐ.

2

I will rise now, and go about in the city, in the market-places, and in the streets, and I will seek him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I found him not.

ἀναστήσομαι δὴ καὶ κυκλώσω ἐν τῇ πόλει, ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις, καὶ ζητήσω ὃν ἠγάπησεν ἡ ψυχή μου. ἐζήτησα αὐτὸν καὶ οὐχ εὗρον αὐτόν.

Воста́нꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ ѡ҆бы́дꙋ во гра́дѣ и҆ на то́ржищихъ и҆ на сто́гнахъ, и҆ поищꙋ̀, є҆го́же возлюбѝ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀. Поиска́хъ є҆го̀, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣто́хъ є҆гѡ̀: зва́хъ є҆го̀, и҆ не послꙋ́ша менѐ.

3

The watchmen who go their rounds in the city found me. [I said], Have ye seen him whom my soul loves?

εὕροσάν με οἱ τηροῦντες, οἱ κυκλοῦντες ἐν τῇ πόλει. μὴ ὃν ἠγάπησεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἴδετε;

Ѡ҆брѣто́ша мѧ̀ стрегꙋ́щїи, ѡ҆бходѧ́ще во гра́дѣ: ви́дѣсте ли, є҆го́же возлюбѝ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀;

4

[It was] as a little [while] after I parted from them, that I found him whom my soul loves: I held him, and did not let him go, until I brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

ὡς μικρὸν ὅτε παρῆλθον ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν, ἕως οὗ εὗρον ὃν ἠγάπησεν ἡ ψυχή μου· ἐκράτησα αὐτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκα αὐτόν, ἕως οὗ εἰσήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον μητρός μου καὶ εἰς ταμιεῖον τῆς συλλαβούσης με.

Ꙗ҆́кѡ ма́лѡ є҆гда̀ преидо́хъ ѿ ни́хъ, до́ндеже ѡ҆брѣто́хъ, є҆го́же возлюбѝ дꙋша̀ моѧ̀: ᲂу҆держа́хъ є҆го̀, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́вихъ є҆гѡ̀, до́ндеже введо́хъ є҆го̀ въ до́мъ ма́тере моеѧ̀ и҆ въ черто́гъ заче́ншїѧ мѧ̀.

I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and by the virtues of the field, that ye rouse not nor awake [my] love, until he please.

ὥρκισα ὑμᾶς, θυγατέρες ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, ἐν ταῖς δυνάμεσι καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἰσχύσεσι τοῦ ἀγροῦ, ἐὰν ἐγείρητε καὶ ἐξεγείρητε τὴν ἀγάπην, ἕως ἂν θελήσῃ.

Заклѧ́хъ ва́съ, дщє́ри і҆ерⷭ҇ли̑мскїѧ, въ си́лахъ и҆ въ крѣ́постехъ се́льныхъ: а҆́ще подви́жете и҆ воздви́жете любо́вь, до́ндеже а҆́ще восхо́щетъ.

6

Who is this that comes up from the wilderness as pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the perfumer?

Τίς αὕτη ἡ ἀναβαίνουσα ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου ὡς στελέχη καπνοῦ τεθυμιαμένη σμύρναν καὶ λίβανον ἀπὸ πάντων κονιορτῶν μυρεψοῦ;

Кто̀ сїѧ̀ восходѧ́щаѧ ѿ пꙋсты́ни, ꙗ҆́кѡ стебло̀ ды́ма кадѧ́щее смѵ́рнꙋ и҆ лїва́нъ, ѿ всѣ́хъ благово́нїй мѷрова́рца;

7

Behold Solomon’s bed; sixty mighty men of the mighty ones of Israel are round about it.

ἰδοὺ ἡ κλίνη τοῦ Σαλωμών, ἑξήκοντα δυνατοὶ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ δυνατῶν ᾿Ισραήλ,

Сѐ, ѻ҆́дръ соломѡ́нь, шестьдесѧ́тъ си́льныхъ ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ си́льныхъ і҆и҃левыхъ,

8

They all hold a sword, being expert in war: every man [has] his sword upon his thigh because of fear by night.

πάντες κατέχοντες ῥομφαίαν, δεδιδαγμένοι πόλεμον, ἀνὴρ ρομφαία αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ μηρὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ θάμβους ἐν νυξί.

всѝ и҆мꙋ́ще ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ, наꙋче́ни на бра́нь: мꙋ́жъ, ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе є҆гѡ̀ на бедрѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѿ ᲂу҆́жаса въ но́щехъ.

King Solomon made himself a litter of woods of Lebanon.

φορεῖον ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν ἀπὸ ξύλων τοῦ Λιβάνου·

Ѻ҆́дръ сотворѝ себѣ̀ ца́рь соломѡ́нъ ѿ древе́съ лїва́нскихъ.

10

He made the pillars of it silver, the bottom of it gold, the covering of it scarlet, in the midst of it a pavement of love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

στύλους αὐτοῦ ἐποίησεν ἀργύριον καὶ ἀνάκλιτον αὐτοῦ χρύσεον· ἐπίβασις αὐτοῦ πορφυρᾶ, ἐντὸς αὐτοῦ λιθόστρωτον, ἀγάπην ἀπὸ θυγατέρων ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

Столпы̀ є҆гѡ̀ сотворѝ срє́брѧны и҆ восклоне́нїе є҆гѡ̀ зла́то: восхо́дъ є҆гѡ̀ багрѧ́нъ, внꙋ́трь є҆гѡ̀ ка́менїе по́стлано, любо́вь ѿ дще́рей і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскихъ.

Go forth, ye daughters of Sion, 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.

θυγατέρες Σιών, ἐξέλθατε καὶ ἴδετε ἐν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν ἐν τῷ στεφάνῳ, ᾧ ἐστεφάνωσεν αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ νυμφεύσεως αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ εὐφροσύνης καρδίας αὐτοῦ.

Дщє́ри сїѡ̑ни, и҆зыди́те и҆ ви́дите въ царѝ соломѡ́нѣ въ вѣнцѣ̀, и҆́мже вѣнча̀ є҆го̀ ма́ти є҆гѡ̀ въ де́нь ѡ҆брꙋче́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ въ де́нь весе́лїѧ се́рдца є҆гѡ̀.
