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

¹

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.

²

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.

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.

³

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

³

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

⁴

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.

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.

⁵

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

⁵

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.

⁶

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

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

⁷

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

⁷

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

⁸

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

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

Ѻ҆́дръ сотворѝ себѣ̀ ца́рь соломѡ́нъ ѿ древе́съ лїва́нскихъ.

King Solomon made himself a litter of woods of Lebanon.

¹⁰

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

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.

¹¹

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.

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.
