Song of Solomon 6
1 Whither is thy beloved gone, Thou fairest among women? Whither is thy beloved turned aside? And we will seek him with thee.
Mpenzi wako amekwenda wapi, ewe mzuri kupita wanawake wote? Mpenzi wako amegeukia njia ipi, tupate kumtafuta pamoja nawe?
2 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, To feed 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 beloved's, and my beloved is mine: He feedeth [his flock] among the lilies.
Mimi ni wake mpenzi wangu, na mpenzi wangu ni wangu; yeye hujilisha katikati ya yungiyungi.
4 Thou art fair, my love, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem, Terrible as troops with banners:
Wewe ni mzuri, mpenzi wangu, kama Tirsa, upendezaye kama Yerusalemu, umetukuka kama jeshi lenye bendera.
5 Turn away thine eyes from me, For they overcome me. Thy hair is as a flock of goats On the slopes of Gilead.
Uyageuze macho yako mbali nami, yananigharikisha. Nywele zako ni kama kundi la mbuzi wanaoteremka kutoka Gileadi.
6 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep Which go up from the washing; Which have all borne twins, And none is barren among them.
Meno yako ni kama kundi la kondoo watokao kuogeshwa. Kila mmoja ana pacha lake, hakuna hata mmoja aliye peke yake.
7 As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples Behind thy veil.
Mashavu yako nyuma ya shela yako ni kama vipande viwili vya komamanga.
8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number:
Panaweza kuwepo malkia sitini, masuria themanini na mabikira wasiohesabika;
9 My dove, mine undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother, She is the choice one of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and they called her blessed; The queens and the concubines, and they praised 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 she that looketh forth as the dawn, Fair as the moon, clear as the sun, Terrible as troops with banners?
Ni nani huyu atokeaye kama mapambazuko, mzuri kama mwezi, mwangavu kama jua, ametukuka kama nyota zifuatanazo?
11 I went down into the garden of nuts, To see the verdure of the valley, To see whether the vine budded, Whether 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 Before I was aware, My soul set me upon the chariots of my willing people.
Kabla sijangʼamua, shauku yangu iliniweka katikati ya magari ya kifalme ya kukokotwa na farasi ya watu wangu.
13 Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. — What would ye look upon in the Shulamite? — As it were the dance of two camps.
Rudi, rudi, ee Mshulami; rudi, rudi ili tupate kukutazama! Mpenzi Kwa nini kumtazama Mshulami, kama kutazama ngoma ya Mahanaimu?
