Song of Songs 2
1 I am a flower of the plain, a lily of the valleys.
Mimi ni ua katika tambarare, nyinyoro katika bonde. Mwanaume akizungumza naye
2 As a lily amongst thorns, so is my companion amongst the daughters.
Kama nyinyoro miongoni mwa mimba, ndivyo wewe, mpenzi wangu, miongoni mwa mabinti wengine wote. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe
3 As the apple amongst the trees of the wood, so is my kinsman amongst the sons. I desired his shadow, and sat down, and his fruit was sweet in my throat.
Kama mti wa mpera ulivyo miongoni mwa miti ya misituni, ndivyo mpenzi wangu alivyo miongoni mwa wanaume. Nina kaa chini ya kivuli chake kwa furaha sana, na tunda lake ni tamu kwa ladha yangu.
4 Bring me into the wine house; set love before me.
Amenileta kwenye ukumbi wa maakuli, na bendera yake juu yangu ilikuwa upendo. Mwanamke akizungumza na mpenzi wake.
5 Strengthen me with perfumes, stay me with apples: for I [am] wounded with love.
Ni uishe kwa keki za mizabibu na kuniuisha na mapera, kwa kuwa nimedhohofika na mapenzi. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe
6 His left [hand shall be] under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
Mkono wake wakushuto upo chini ya kichwa changu, na mkono wake wa kulia wanikumbatia. Mwanamke akizungumza na wanawake wengine.
7 I have charged you, you daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and by the virtues of the field, that you do not rouse or wake [my] love, until he please.
Ninataka muhaidi, mabinti wa Yerusalemu, kwa swala na paa wa porini, kwamba hamtavuruga mapenzi yetu hadi yatakapo isha yenyewe. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe.
8 The voice of my kinsman! behold, he comes leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills.
Sauti ya mpenzi wangu hiyo! O, huyu yuwaja, akiruka ruka juu milima, akiruka vilimani.
9 My kinsman is like a roe or a young hart on the mountains of Baethel: behold, he is behind our wall, looking through the windows, peeping through the lattices.
Mpenzi wangu ni kama swala au mtoto mdogo wa paa; angalia, amesimama nyuma ya ukuta wetu, akishangaa kupitia dirishani, akichungulia wavuni.
10 My kinsman answers, and says to me, Rise up, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove.
Mpenzi wangu alizungumza na mimi na kusema, “Amka, mpenzi wangu; mzuri wangu, twende pamoja nami.
11 For, behold, the winter is past, the rain is gone, it has departed.
Angalia, baridi imepita; mvua imeisha na kwenda.
12 The flowers are seen in the land; the time of pruning has arrived; the voice of the turtle-dove has been heard in our land.
Maua yametokeza juu ya nchi; wakati wa kupunguza matawi na kuimba kwa ndege umekuja, na sauti za hua zimesikika nchini kwetu.
13 The fig tree has put forth its young figs, the vines put forth the tender grape, they yield a smell: arise, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove; yes, come.
Mti wa tini umepevusha tini zake za kijani, na mizabibu imestawi; yatoa marashi yake. Inuka, mpenzi wangu, mzuri wangu, na uje nami.
14 [You are] my dove, in the shelter of the rock, near the wall: show me your face, and cause me to hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your countenance is beautiful.
Hua wangu, katika miamba ya mawe, katika miamba ya siri ya mipasuko ya milima, acha nione uso wako. Acha nisikie sauti yako, kwa kuwa sauti ni tamu, na uso wako ni mzuri.” Mwanamke akiongea mwenyewe
15 Take us the little foxes that spoil the vines: for our vines put forth tender grapes.
Wakamate mbweha kwa ajili yetu, mbweha wadogo wanao haribu shamba za mizabibu, kwa kuwa shamba la mizabibu limestawi.
16 My kinsman is mine, and I am his: he feeds [his flock] amongst the lilies.
Mpenzi wangu ni wangu, na mimi ni wake; anakula penye nyinyoro kwa raha. Mwanamke anaongea na mpenzi wake
17 Until the day dawn, and the shadows depart, turn, my kinsman, be you like to a roe or young hart on the mountains of the ravines.
Enenda zako, mpenzi wangu, kabla pepo za jioni hazija vuma na vivuli kutoweka. Nenda zako; kuwa kama ayala au mtoto mdogo wa paa katika milima mawe mengi.
