旧约 - 雅歌(Song of Songs)第3章

By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: 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.
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, 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.
雅歌第三章   第 3 章 

  歌 3:1-4> 热恋时一日不见如三秋,现在呢?我的爱有没有萎缩…… 

  3:1-4 许多学者认为,这几节经文描述的是那女子回忆的一个梦。她在梦中不见爱郎踪影,心急如焚,不惜半夜即刻起身,四处寻觅。你爱一个人的时候,便会不顾一切满足对方的需要,务使对方平安无事,甚至牺牲个人幸福也在所不惜。这在日常生活的琐事上经常表露无遗:例如特地爬几层楼梯为另一半拿杯水、早些下班去参加孩子的学校活动,放弃个人安逸舒适的生活,赒济有困难的朋友等。 

  歌 3:6-5:1> 缔结良缘,是人生中重要的里程碑…… 

  3:6-5:1 这大段经文连换几个场景。有人认为, 3 章 6 至 11 节描写迎亲场面, 4 章 1 至 5 章 1 节描写新婚之夜,而 4 章 16 至 5 章 1 则刻划婚姻的完满。也有人认为,这大段经文是描述所罗门向那少女提亲和订婚的种种场面。在 2 章 8 至 3 章 5 节,所罗门与她共浴爱河,到 3 章 6 至 11 节这段,写所罗门以君王的显赫威仪重返她身边,并向她表达倾慕之意( 4:1-5 ),然后求婚( 4:7-15 ),那女子答应了( 4:16 ),最后所罗门对她接纳求婚作出回应( 5:1 )。 

  歌 3:7,9> 所罗门的轿,好不华丽! 

  3:7,9 所罗门的轿子可坐一人,四面罩着喜幕,由几个壮丁用肩抬着。──《灵修版圣经注释》
