1 By layal (night) on my mashakab (bed), I baqash (sought) him whom my napash (soul) ahab (love). I baqash (sought) him, but I didn't matzaa (find) him.
2 I will qawam (rise up) up now, and sabab (go) about the iyar (city); in the shawaqayam (streets) and in the squares I will baqash (seek) him whom my napash (soul) ahab (love). I baqash (sought) him, but I didn't matzaa (find) him.
3 The watchmen who sabab (go) about the iyar (city) matzaa (found) me; “raah (see / saw) you seen him whom my napash (soul) ahab (love)?”
4 I had scarcely ibar (pass over/through) from them, when I matzaa (found) him whom my napash (soul) ahab (love). I achaz (held) him, and would not rapah (let) him go, until I bawaa (bring) brought him into my am (mother) bayath (house), into the room of her who harah (conceived) me.
5 I shabai (swear / take oath) you, banawath (daughters) of Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem), by the tzabaawath (roes), or by the ayalawath (hinds) of the shadah (field), that you not iwar (rouse / awaken) up, nor awaken ahabah (love), until it so chapatz (desires).
6 Who is this who ilah (go up / offer) up from the madabar (wilderness) like thayamarawath (pillars) of ishan (smoke), perfumed with mar (myrrh) and labawanah (frankincense), with all spices of the rakal (merchant)?
7 Behold, it is Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) carriage! Shashayam (sixty) gabawar (mighty) men are around it, of the gabawar (mighty) men of Yashar-Al (Israel).
8 They all achaz (handle) the charab (sword), and are lamad (teach / instruct) in malachamah (war). Every ayash (man / husband) has his charab (sword) on his yarak (thigh), because of pachad (fear / dread) in the layal (night).
