Soloumane ea Gesami 1
1 Gesami noga: idafa amo Soloumane ea dedei. Uda da amane sia: i,
This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
2 “Dia lafi da nonogosu amoga na dedebosa. Dia sasagesu hou da waini hano ea hedai baligisa.
Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
3 Di da gabusiga: agoane naba. Na da dia dio nabasea, amo dawa: lala. Uda huluane da dima sasagemusa: fawane dawa: lala.
The fragrance of the cologne on your [skin] is [very] sweet/pleasing [CHI]. And your reputation is [very] good and spreads, [like] [SIM] the fragrance of the special oil spread on your skin. That is why the [other] young women are attracted to you.
4 Na dia oule, ani hobeale masunu. Di nama ouligisu hamone, dia sesei amoga na oule masa. Ani da gilisili hahawane hamomu. Ania da waini hano nanu, sasagesu hou bagade hamobeba: le, asigi dawa: su fisimu. Dafawane! Uda huluane da dima asigiba: le, na da hame hiosa.
Take me quickly; take me to your home. [It is as though] you are my king; take me into your room. We are very happy [DOU] about you; we say that your love [for each other] is better than wine. It is not surprising that the other young women adore you.
5 Dilia Yelusaleme fi uda! Na gadofo da bunumai be na da noga: iwane ba: sa. Na da hafoga: i soge abula diasu Gida sogebiga diala, amo defele bunumai gala, Be na da Soloumane hina bagade diasu giga: gisu abula defele, ida: iwane ba: sa.
You women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful; my dark skin is like [SIM] the tents in Kedar, [or] like the beautiful curtains in Solomon’s palace.
6 Na gadofo da bunumaiba: le, dilia na mae higama. Bai na gadofo da esoga gia: le, bunumai. Lolalali da nama ougiba: le, na waini efe bugiga hawa: hamoma: ne asunasi. Na da nina: da: i ouligimu eso hame ba: i.
[But] do not stare at me because of the sun having caused my skin to become dark; my brothers were angry with me, [so] they forced me to work [out in the sunshine] in the vineyards, so I was not able to take good care of my body/skin [CHI, MET].
7 Na dogolegei! Nama adoma! Di da dia sibi wa: i gisi moma: ne habidili oule masa: bela: ? Ilia da dogoa eso gia: sea, habidili helefima: bela: ? Na da laluba: le sibi ouligisu eno ilia sibi wa: i ganodini, di hogoma: bela: ?” Dunu da amane sia: i,
You whom I [SYN] love, where will you take your flock of sheep today? Where will you allow them to rest at noontime? I want to know because it is not right [RHQ] for me to wander around like a prostitute looking for you among the flocks that belong to your friends.
8 “Di, uda eno ilia noga: idafa ba: su hou baligisu uda! Di da na esalebe sogebi hame dawa: bela: ? Di asili, sibi wa: i amo fa: no bobogema. Dia goudi da gisi moma: ne, gisi sogebi amo sibi ouligisu dunu ilia abula diasu gadenene hogoma.
You who are the most beautiful of all the women, if you [search for me and] do not know [where I will take my sheep], follow the tracks/footprints of the sheep. [Then] allow your young goats to (graze/eat grass) near the shepherds’ tents.
9 Na dogolegei! Felou ea sa: liode hiougisu hosi gawali ilia da hosi aseme ba: sea, hanasa, amo defele, dunu da di ba: sea, hanasa.
You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.

Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.
11 Be ninia da dia gisa: gima: ne, gouli sia: ine amoga silifa nina: hamoi liligi gala, amo hamomu.” Uda da amane sia: i,
We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
12 “Na hina bagade da ea fafai da: iya dialu. Na da gabusiga: manoma legeiba: le, hisi da gabusiga: amoga nabai ba: i.
While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
13 Na sasagesu dunu da ‘me’ gabusiga: galebe agoane naba. E da na dodo da: iya diala.
The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.

You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
16 “Na dogolegei! Di amola da noga: idafa ba: sa! Di da nama hahawane hamosa! Golofoia: i gisi da ania golasu hamomu.
You who love me, you are very delightful/handsome, you are wonderful! This green grass will be [like] a couch [where we lie down].
17 ‘Dolo’ ifa da ania diasu sa di agoai ba: mu. Amola ‘saibalase’ ifa da ania diasu figisu ganodini fei liligi agoai ba: mu.
[Branches of] cedar [trees] will shade us; [it is as though branches of] juniper/pine [trees] will be like [MET] a roof [over our heads].
