< Wer Mamit 8 >

1 Ka dine ibedna owadwa mahie, mane wadhodhogo thuno achiel, to dine anyodhi, kapo ni ayudi oko, kendo onge ngʼama dine ochaya.
O that thou [wert] as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
2 Dine amako badi, mi akeli nyaka e od minwa kama ne opuonjae. Dine amiyi divai moketie yedhe madungʼ tik mamit mondo imadhi; kendo dine amiyi olemo mongʼinore makwar.
I would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother’s house, [who] would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3 Bade ma koracham oteno wiya, to bade ma korachwich okwaka.
His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4 Un nyi Jerusalem, asiemou ni kik utug hera kata chiewe ka sa ne pok oromo.
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
5 Mano to ngʼa mabiro koa e piny motimo ongoro koyiengore kuom jaherane? Nyako Ne achiewe e bwo yadh olemo mayom; kanyo ema ne minu omake ichni, kendo kanyo ema ngʼat mane muoch okayo nonywolie.
Who [is] this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth [that] bare thee.
6 Para e chunyi kinde duto, kendo wiyi kik wil koda; nikech hera nigi teko mana ka tho, kendo nyiego ma hera nigo tut mana ka bur tho. Herano liel ka mach mabebni, kendo mana ka ligek mach maduongʼ. (Sheol h7585)
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals thereof [are] coals of fire, [which hath a] most vehement flame. (Sheol h7585)
7 Pige mathoth ok nyal nego hera; kendo kata aore maringo ok nyal ywere. Ka dipo ni ngʼato dichiw mwandu duto mag ode mondo oyud hera, to mano dibed fuwo maduongʼ.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if [a] man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
8 Wan gi nyaminwa moro matin, kendo thundene pok obedo madongo. Angʼo mwanyalo timone nyaminwa chiengʼ ma wuowi obiro dware?
We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9 Ka dine bed ni en ohinga, to dine wagero osuch fedha kuome. To ka dine obed ni en dhoot, to dine walore gi thigo mar bap sida.
If she [be] a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she [be] a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10 An to an ohinga, kendo thundena ochungʼ, ka ohinga moger motingʼore gi malo. Kuom mano, asebedone wangʼ monenogo, kendo asemiyo obedo gi kwe.
I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
11 Solomon ne nigi puoth mzabibu kama iluongo ni Baal Hamon; kendo ne oketo puotheno e lwet jopur. Moro ka moro kuomgi nonego chul Solomon kilo, apar gachiel gi nus mar fedha kuom olembene.
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver.
12 An to an gi puotha awuon mar mzabibu; to in Solomon in to bed abeda gi kilo apar gachiel, gi nusgo miyudo kuom jopur, to un jopur un bende beduru abeda gi kilo, ariyo gi nusgo moyudo kuom poku.
My vineyard, which [is] mine, [is] before me: thou, O Solomon, [must have] a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
13 In midak e puothe mzabibu kaachiel gi osiepeni mabudhi, yie awinjie dwondi gie puodho kuno!
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear [it].
14 Bi wadhi, jaherana, kendo chal gi mwanda kata le, mamoko manie thim mochungʼ ewi gode mopongʼ gi yedhe madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar.
Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
