< Song of Songs 6 >
1 Whither is thy kinsman gone, thou beautiful among women? whither has thy kinsman turned aside? [tell us], and we will seek him with thee.
Mpenzi wako ameenda wapi, ulio mzuri miongoni mwa wanawake? Kwa njia gani mpenzi wako ameenda? ilitumtafute nawe? Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza mwenyewe
2 My kinsman is gone down to his garden, to the beds of spice, to feed [his flock] in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Mpenzi wangu ameenda katika bustani yake, kwenye vitanda vya manukato, kwenda kula katika bustani na kukusanya nyinyoro.
3 I am my kinsman's, and my kinsman is mine, who feeds among the lilies.
Mimi ni wa mpenzi wangu, na mpenzi wangu ni wangu; na kula katika nyinyoro kwa raha. Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza naye
4 Thou art fair, my companion, as Pleasure, beautiful as Jerusalem, terrible as [armies] set in array.
Wewe ni mzuri kama Tirza, mpenzi wangu, wapendeza kama Yerusalemu, waamasisha kama jeshi lenye bendera mbele.
5 Turn away thine eyes from before me, for they have ravished me: thy hair is as flocks of goats which have appeared from Galaad.
Geuza macho yako mbali na mimi, kwa kuwa yana nizidi ukali. Nywele zako ni kama kundi la mbuzi likishuka chini kutoka miteremko ya Mlima Gileadi.
6 Thy teeth are as flocks of shorn [sheep], that have gone up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and there is none barren among them: thy lips are as a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely.
Meno yako ni kama kundi la kondoo likishuka kutoka sehemu ya kuoshwa. Kila mmoja anapacha, na hamna ata mmoja aliyefiwa.
7 Thy cheek is like the rind of a pomegranate, [being seen] without thy veil.
Mashavu yako ni kama majani ya komamanga nyuma ya kitambaa chako cha uso. Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza peke yake
8 There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.
Kuna malikia sitini, masuria themanini, na wanawake wadogo bila idadi.
9 My dove, my perfect one is one; she is the [only] one of her mother; she is the choice of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and the queens will pronounce her blessed, yea, and the concubines, and they will praise her.
Hua wangu, asiye na doa wangu, ni yeye pekee; ni binti muhimu wa mama yake; ndiye kipenzi cha mwanamke aliye mzaa. Mabinti wa wenzengu wamemuona na kumuita mbarikiwa; wamalikia na masuria walimuona pia, na wakamsifu: Kile walicho sema wamalikia na masuria
10 Who is this that looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, choice as the sun, terrible as [armies] set in array?
“Ni nani huyo anaye jitokeza kama kukicha, mzuri kama mwezi, ana ng'aa kama jua, uamasisha kama bendera ya jeshi?” Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe
11 I went down to the garden of nuts, to look at the fruits of the valley, to see if the vine flowered, [if] the pomegranates blossomed.
Nimeenda kwenye kichaka cha miti ya milozi kuona mimea midogo ikikua bondeni, kuona kama mizabibu imechipua, na kama mikomamanga imestawi.
12 There I will give thee my breasts: my soul knew [it] not: it made me as the chariots of Aminadab.
Nilikuwa nina furaha nikahisi kama nimepakia gari ya farasi la mtoto wa mfalme. Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza naye
13 Return, return, O Sunamite; return, return, and we will look at thee. What will ye see in the Sunamite? She comes as bands of armies.
Geuka nyuma, geuka nyuma, wewe mwanamke mkamilifu; geuka nyuma, geuka nyuma iliniweze kukushangaa. Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza na mpenzi wake Kwanini wanishangaa, mwanamke mkamilifu, kana kwamba nina cheza katika ya mistari miwili ya wachezaji?
