Wer Mamit 1
1 Wer mamit moloyo wende moko nondiki gi ruoth Solomon.
The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
2 Bi mondo inyodha gi dhogi, nikech herani kelo mor moloyo divai.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.
3 Modhi miwirorigo dungʼ mamit; kendo nyingi chalo gi mo mangʼwe ngʼar ma pukore oko. Kare mano emomiyo nyiri duto oheri!
Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.
4 Kawa idhi koda, waret piyo waa kae! Ruoth mondo odhi koda nyaka ei ode maiye. Osiepe Wail kendo chunywa mor kodi; wabiro pako herani moloyo divai. Nyako Gitimo gima kare ka gipuoyi!
Take me away with you. Let’s hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are right to love you.
5 An nyako ma dichol kendo ma jaber, yaye nyi Jerusalem, an dichol mana ka hembe mag Kedar, kendo mana ka pasia molier e hembe Solomon.
I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains.
6 Kik uchaya nikech an dichol, nimar chiengʼ ema oseloko denda kamano. Yawuot minwa nokecho koda, mine giketa jarit puothegi mag mzabibu; to puotha awuon mar mzabibu to ne ajwangʼo.
Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.
7 Yaye jaherana, nyisane kuma ikwayoe jambi kod kuma iweye rombi mondo oyweyee odiechiengʼ tir. Angʼo momiyo dachal mana gi dhako moumo wangʼe e dier jamb osiepeni?
Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; for why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions?
8 Ka ok ingʼeyo, yaye jaber moloyo mon mamoko, lu bangʼ rombe kuonde ma gikwayoe, mondo ikwa nyidiek ma pod tindo e bath hembe mag jokwath.
If you don’t know, most beautiful amongst women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.
9 Jaherana, apimi mana gi faras madhako motwe but achiel kuom geche Farao.
I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.
10 Lembi nenore maber ka sitadi olierie; ngʼuti bende nenore maber ka olierie tigo ma nengogi tek.
Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
11 Wabiro losoni thiwni mag dhahabu, kod tigo mag fedha.
We will make you earrings of gold, with studs of silver.
12 Kane ruoth chiemo e mesane, mo mangʼwe ngʼar man-gi tik mamit nopongʼo ot kadonjo.
While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13 Jaherana chalona gi mo mane-mane mobo matin ma nengone tek, mantie e kind thundena.
My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.
14 Jaherana chalona maua maber mothiewo, moa e puoth mzabibu man En Gedi.
My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
15 Mano kaka ijaber, jaherana! Yaye, mano kaka ijaber! Wengeni neno mamuol ka akuru.
Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are like doves.
16 Mano kaka iber, jaherana! Yaye, mano kaka berni olomba! Kendo kitandawa bende yom ka lum mangʼich.
Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant.
17 Bepe mag tat odwa gin mag sida; kendo bede yien mokar mag obudo nobednwa tado.
The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.
