I will get up now and go about the city, through its streets and squares; I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did not find him.

我说：我要起来，游行城中，在街市上，在宽阔处，寻找我心所爱的。我寻找他，却寻不见。

“我要起来，绕行城中，在街市上，在广场上，寻找我心所爱的。”我寻找他，却寻不着。

自謂我必興、遍行邑中、於通衢大道、求我心所愛者、求之不得、

我即興、遊於邑衢、遍行大道、求我夫子、求之不得、

我即興、游於邑中、徧行街衢大道、尋我心之所愛、尋而不得、

I will get up and go around in the city. I’ll look through all of its streets. I’ll search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but didn’t find him.

I will rise now and go about the city, in the streets and in the squares; I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but found him not.

So I said to myself,“ I will get up and roam the city, searching in all its streets and squares. I will search for the one I love.” So I searched everywhere but did not find him.

I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and the plazas. I will seek the one I love. I sought him, but did not find him.

‘ I must arise now and go around in the city; In the streets and in the public squares I must seek him whom my soul loves.’ I sought him but did not find him.

“ I will rise now,” I said,“ And go about the city; In the streets and in the squares I will seek the one I love.” I sought him, but I did not find him.

I said, 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.

I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and the plazas. I will seek the one I love. I sought him, but did not find him.

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.

“ I will arise and look all around throughout the town, and throughout the streets and squares; I will search for my beloved.” I searched for him but I did not find him.

I will get up now, and go about the city; in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.

There was a man sent from God whose name was John.

“ Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, look around and consider, search through her squares. If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city.

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.

Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God— I say this to your shame.

You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:

“ Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?Has God forgotten to be merciful?

“ The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant,‘ Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’“‘ Sir,’ the servant said,‘ what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’“ Then the master told his servant,‘ Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.

Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square;on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech:

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.I say to God my Rock,“ Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?”

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.“ Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.“ Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
