Soloumane ea Gesami 3
1 Na gasi huluane bobaligilalebe, na da na golasuga golai dialu, na sasagesu dunu simasia ba: i. Na da e hogolalu be hame ba: i.
All through the night [while I lay] on my bed, I longed for the one whom I love. I desired for him [to come], but he did not come.
2 Na da moilai bai bagadega amoga logoba: le amola logo fonoboiba: le, e hogosa lalalu. Na da e hogolalu, be hame ba: i.
[So I said to myself], “I will get up now and walk around the city, through the streets and plazas, to search for the one whom I love.” [So] I [got up and] searched for him, but I could not find him.
3 Sosodo aligisu dunu amo da moilai ouligili lalebe da na ba: i. Na da ilima amane adole ba: i, ‘Dilia da na sasagesu dunu ba: bela: ?’
The city watchmen saw me while they were patrolling/walking around the city. [I asked them], “Have you seen the one whom I love?”
4 Na da ili yolesilalu, e ba: i. Na da e gagulaligili, amola e masa: ne mae yolesili dialobawane, na da e adole, na: me ea diasuga oule asili, sesei amoga na da lalelegei, amoga e oule asi.
As soon as I walked past them, I found the one whom I love. I clung to him and would not let him go until I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room where my mother had conceived me (OR, where I was born).
5 Yelusaleme uda dilia! Hehenasu ‘dia’ amola ‘gasele dia’ ilia houba: le, sia: dafawaneyale ilegema! Ania sasagesu gilisili fibi hou mae hedofama: ne sia: ma!” Uda da amane sia: i,
You women of Jerusalem, solemnly promise me, while the does and gazelles [are listening], that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.
6 “Hafoga: i sogeganini manebe liligi da adila: ? Amo da mobi ganumu amo da gabusiga: manoma amola ‘me’ (bidi lasu dunu amoga lasu liligi agoai) agoane naba, agoai liligi ba: sa.
Who is it that is coming from the desert, who is [stirring up dust] like a column of smoke from burning myrrh and incense [made from] spices [imported by] merchants?
7 Soloumane da ea fisu da: iya fili, enoga gaguli manebe ba: sa. Dadi gagui dunu Isala: ili soge ganodini baligili noga: i dunu 60 agoane da ea da: i sosodo aligisu dunu, e sigi manebe ba: sa.
It is [Solomon], [sitting in] his portable chair surrounded by 60 bodyguards chosen from the strongest/greatest warriors in Israel.
8 Ilia huluane da gobihei bagade amoga gegemu hou bagade dawa: Ilia da gegesu bagohame hamobeba: le, gasa bagade gala. Soloumane ea ha lai da gasia ema doagala: sa: besa: le, ilia afae afae da gegesu gobihei gagusa.
They all have swords and they [all] (are trained to/know well how to) use them. Each one has his sword [strapped to] his side and [is prepared to defend Solomon from] dangers that might occur even during the night.
9 Hina bagade Soloumane da fisu amo noga: idafa ifa amoga hamoi, amoga fila heda: le, enoga gaguli ahoanebe ba: sa.
King Solomon [commanded his servants] to make that portable chair for him; [it was made] with wood from Lebanon.
10 Amo fisu ea bada da silifa amoga dedeboi. Abula amo da gouliga ga: muga: legei da ea fisu dedebosa. Ea bada fugulu dedebosu liligi da yoi abula amo Yelusaleme uda ilia da asigiwane amunasi.
The [canopy that covered it] was (held up/supported) by posts made of silver, and the back of the chair was [embroidered] with gold. The seat/cushion was covered with purple cloth lovingly made/woven by the women of Jerusalem.
11 Saione uda, dilia! Hina bagade Soloumane ba: la misa! Ea dialuma da: iya, habuga figisi dialebe ba: sa. Ea uda lasu esoga, e da hahawane bagade ba: i. Amola ea: me da amo esoga amo habuga ea dialuma da: iya figisi.”
You women of Jerusalem, come and look at King Solomon wearing the headdress that his mother put on his head on the day when he was married, the day when he [SYN] was very happy.
