Song of Songs 6
1 Whither is your kinsman gone, you beautiful amongst women? whither has your kinsman turned aside? [tell us], and we will seek him with you.
Mpenzi wako amekwenda wapi, ewe mzuri kupita wanawake wote? Mpenzi wako amegeukia njia ipi, tupate kumtafuta pamoja nawe?
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 amekwenda bustanini mwake, kwenye vitalu vya vikolezo, kujilisha bustanini na kukusanya yungiyungi.
3 I am my kinsman's, and my kinsman is mine, who feeds amongst the lilies.
Mimi ni wake mpenzi wangu, na mpenzi wangu ni wangu; yeye hujilisha katikati ya yungiyungi.
4 You are fair, my companion, as Pleasure, beautiful as Jerusalem, terrible as [armies] set in array.
Wewe ni mzuri, mpenzi wangu, kama Tirsa, upendezaye kama Yerusalemu, umetukuka kama jeshi lenye bendera.
5 Turn away your eyes from before me, for they have ravished me: your hair is as flocks of goats which have appeared from Galaad.
Uyageuze macho yako mbali nami, yananigharikisha. Nywele zako ni kama kundi la mbuzi wanaoteremka kutoka Gileadi.
6 Your teeth are as flocks of shorn [sheep], that have gone up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and there is none barren amongst them: your lips are as a thread of scarlet, and your speech is comely.
Meno yako ni kama kundi la kondoo watokao kuogeshwa. Kila mmoja ana pacha lake, hakuna hata mmoja aliye peke yake.
7 Your cheek is like the rind of a pomegranate, [being seen] without your veil.
Mashavu yako nyuma ya shela yako ni kama vipande viwili vya komamanga.
8 There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.
Panaweza kuwepo malkia sitini, masuria themanini na mabikira wasiohesabika;
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, yes, and the concubines, and they will praise her.
lakini hua wangu, mkamilifu wangu, ni wa namna ya pekee, binti pekee kwa mama yake, kipenzi cha yeye aliyemzaa. Wanawali walimwona na kumwita aliyebarikiwa; malkia na masuria walimsifu.
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 huyu atokeaye kama mapambazuko, mzuri kama mwezi, mwangavu kama jua, ametukuka kama nyota zifuatanazo?
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.
Niliteremka kwenye bustani ya miti ya milozi ili kutazama machipuko ya bondeni, kuona kama mizabibu imechipua au kama mikomamanga imechanua maua.
12 There I will give you my breasts: my soul knew [it] not: it made me as the chariots of Aminadab.
Kabla sijangʼamua, shauku yangu iliniweka katikati ya magari ya kifalme ya kukokotwa na farasi ya watu wangu.
13 Return, return, O Sunamite; return, return, and we will look at you. What will you see in the Sunamite? She comes as bands of armies.
Rudi, rudi, ee Mshulami; rudi, rudi ili tupate kukutazama! Mpenzi Kwa nini kumtazama Mshulami, kama kutazama ngoma ya Mahanaimu?
