The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 At night on my bed, I looked for the one I love; I looked for him, but I could not find him.
1
in lectulo meo per noctes quaesivi quem diligit anima mea quaesivi illum et non inveni
2 I got up and went around the city, in the streets and squares, looking for the one I love. I looked for him, but I could not find him.
2
surgam et circuibo civitatem per vicos et plateas quaeram quem diligit anima mea quaesivi illum et non inveni
3 The watchmen found me as they patrolled the city, so I asked, "Have you seen the one I love?"
3
invenerunt me vigiles qui custodiunt civitatem num quem dilexit anima mea vidistis
4 As soon as I had left them, I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go until I brought him to my mother's house, to the room where I was born.
4
paululum cum pertransissem eos inveni quem diligit anima mea tenui eum nec dimittam donec introducam illum in domum matris meae et in cubiculum genetricis meae
5 Women of Jerusalem, promise me by the gazelles and the deer not to awaken or excite my feelings of love until it is ready.

adiuro vos filiae Hierusalem per capreas cervosque camporum ne suscitetis neque evigilare faciatis dilectam donec ipsa velit
6 Who is this coming out of the desert like a cloud of smoke? Who is this that smells like myrrh, incense, and other spices?

quae est ista quae ascendit per desertum sicut virgula fumi ex aromatibus murrae et turis et universi pulveris pigmentarii
7 Look, it's Solomon's couchn with sixty soldiers around it, the finest soldiers of Israel.

en lectulum Salomonis sexaginta fortes ambiunt ex fortissimis Israhel

omnes tenentes gladios et ad bella doctissimi uniuscuiusque ensis super femur suum propter timores nocturnos

ferculum fecit sibi rex Salomon de lignis Libani

columnas eius fecit argenteas reclinatorium aureum ascensum purpureum media caritate constravit propter filias Hierusalem
11 Women of Jerusalem, go out and see King Solomon. He is wearing the crown his mother put on his head on his wedding day, when his heart was happy!

egredimini et videte filiae Sion regem Salomonem in diademate quo coronavit eum mater sua in die disponsionis illius et in die laetitiae cordis eius
