Nyimbo ya Solomoni 8
1 Ukanakhala kuti ndiwe mlongo wanga, amene anayamwa mawere a amayi anga! Ndikanakumana nawe pa njira, ndikanakupsompsona, ndipo palibe wina aliyense akanandinyoza.
Who shall give thee to me for my brother, sucking the breasts of my mother, that I may find thee without, and kiss thee, and now no man may despise me?
2 Ndikanakutenga ndi kukulowetsa mʼnyumba ya amayi anga, amayi amene anandiphunzitsa, ndikanakupatsa vinyo wotsekemera kuti umwe, zotsekemera za makangadza.
I will take hold of thee, and bring thee Into my mother’s house: there thou shalt teach me, and I will give thee a cup of spiced wine and new wine of my pomegranates.
3 Mutu wanga watsamira dzanja lake lamanzere ndipo dzanja lake lamanja landikumbatira.
His left hand under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
4 Inu akazi a ku Yerusalemu, ndithu ndikukupemphani: musachigwedeze chikondi kapena kuchiutsa mpaka pamene chifunire ichocho.
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor awake my love till she please.
5 Kodi ndani uyo akutuluka ku chipululuyo, atatsamira wokondedwa wakeyo? Mkazi Ndinakudzutsa pa tsinde pa mtengo wa apulosi, pamenepo ndi pamene amayi anachirira, pamenepo ndi pamene wokubereka anamva ululu pokubala iweyo.
Who is this that cometh up from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I raised thee up: there thy mother was corrupted, there she was defloured that bore thee.
6 Undiyike pamtima pako ngati chidindo, ngati chidindo cha pa dzanja lako; pakuti chikondi nʼchamphamvu ngati imfa, nsanje ndiyaliwuma ngati manda. Chikondi chimachita kuti lawilawi ngati malawi a moto wamphamvu. (Sheol h7585)
Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire and flames. (Sheol h7585)
7 Madzi ochuluka sangachizimitse chikondi, mitsinje singachikokolole chikondicho. Ngati wina apereka chuma chonse cha mʼnyumba mwake chifukwa cha chikondi, adzangonyozeka nazo kotheratu.
Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall despise it as nothing.
8 Ife tili naye mlongo wathu wamngʼono, koma alibe mawere, kodi tidzamuchitira chiyani mlongo wathuyu pa tsiku limene adzamufunsire?
Our sister is little, and hath no breasts. What shall we do to our sister in the day when she is to be spoken to?
9 Ngati iye ndi khoma, tidzamumangira nsanja ya siliva. Ngati iye ndi chitseko, tidzamutchinga ndi matabwa a mkungudza.
If she be a wall: let us build upon it bulwarks of silver: if she be a door, let us join it together with boards or cedar.
10 Ine ndili ngati khoma, ndipo mawere anga ndi nsanja zake. Tsono mʼmaso mwa bwenzi langa ndine wobweretsa mtendere.
I am a wall: and my breasts are as a tower since I am become in his presence as one finding peace.
11 Solomoni anali ndi munda wampesa ku Baala-Hamoni; iyeyo anabwereketsa munda wamphesawo kwa alimi, aliyense mwa iwo ankayenera kupereka ndalama zasiliva 1,000 mʼmalo mwa zipatso zake.
The peaceable had a vineyard, in that which hath people: he let out the same to keepers, every man bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver.
12 Koma munda wanga wampesa ndi wangawanga ndiponso wa ine ndekha. Iwe Solomoni, khala nazo ndalama zasiliva 1,000 ndipo ndalama zasiliva 200 ndi za amene akusamalira mundawo.
My vineyard is before me. A thousand are for thee, the peaceable, and two hundred for them that keep the fruit thereof.
13 Iwe amene umakhala mʼminda uli pamodzi ndi anzako, ndilole kuti ndimve liwu lako!
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the friends hearken: make me hear thy voice.
14 Fulumira wokondedwa wanga, ndipo ukhale ngati gwape kapena mwana wa mbawala wothamanga mʼmapiri mʼmene mumamera mbewu zokometsera chakudya.
Flee away, O my beloved, and be like to the roe, and to the young hart upon the mountains of aromatical spices.
