Song of Solomon 8
1 Oh that thou wert as my brother, That sucked the breasts of my mother! Should I find thee without, I would kiss thee; And they would not despise me.
Ìwọ ìbá rí bí arákùnrin mi si mi, èyí tí ó mú ọmú ìyá mi dàgbà! Èmi ìbá rí ọ ní òde, èmi ìbá fi ẹnu kò ọ́ ní ẹnu, wọn kì bá fi mí ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.
2 I would lead thee, bring thee into my mother's house; Thou wouldest instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate.
Èmi ìbá fi ọ̀nà hàn ọ́ èmi ìbá mú ọ wá sínú ilé ìyá mi, ìwọ ìbá kọ́ mi. Èmi ìbá fi ọtí wáìnì olóòórùn dídùn fún ọ mu, àti oje èso pomegiranate mi.
3 His left hand would be under my head, And his right hand embrace me.
Ọwọ́ òsì rẹ ìbá wà ní abẹ́ orí mi, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ ìbá sì gbà mí mọ́ra.
4 I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, ...Why should ye stir up, why awake [my] love, till he please?
Ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu, èmi pè yín ní ìjà. Ẹ má ṣe rú olùfẹ́ mi sókè. Ẹ má ṣe jí i títí tí yóò fi wù ú.
5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? I awoke thee under the apple-tree: There thy mother brought thee forth; There she brought thee forth [that] bore thee.
Ta ni ẹni tí ń gòkè bọ̀ wá láti aginjù, tí ó fi ara ti olùfẹ́ rẹ̀. Olólùfẹ́ Ní abẹ́ igi ápù ni mo ti jí ọ dìde; níbẹ̀ ni ìyá rẹ ti lóyún rẹ níbẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ń rọbí bí ọ sí.
6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol: The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, Flames of Jah. (Sheol h7585)
Gbé mi sí àyà rẹ bí èdìdì bí èdìdì lé apá rẹ; nítorí ìfẹ́ lágbára bí ikú, ìjowú sì le bí isà òkú jíjò rẹ̀ rí bí jíjò iná, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀wọ́-iná Olúwa. (Sheol h7585)
7 Many waters cannot quench love, Neither do the floods drown it: Even if a man gave all the substance of his house for love, It would utterly be contemned.
Omi púpọ̀ kò le paná ìfẹ́; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbígbá omi kò le gbá a lọ. Bí ènìyàn bá fún ìfẹ́, ní gbogbo ọrọ̀ ilé rẹ̀, a ó kẹ́gàn rẹ̀ pátápátá.
8 We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for? —
Àwa ní arábìnrin kékeré kan, òun kò sì ní ọmú, kí ni àwa yóò fún arábìnrin wa, ní ọjọ́ tí a ó bá fẹ́ ẹ?
9 If she be a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver; And if she be a door, We will enclose her with boards of cedar.
Bí òun bá jẹ́ ògiri, àwa yóò kọ́ ilé odi fàdákà lé e lórí. Bí òun bá jẹ́ ìlẹ̀kùn, àwa yóò fi pákó kedari dí i.
10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers; Then was I in his eyes as one that findeth peace.
Èmi jẹ́ ògiri, ọmú mi sì rí bí ilé ìṣọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo ṣe rí ní ojú rẹ̀ bí ẹni tí ń mú àlàáfíà wá.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon: He let out the vineyard unto keepers; Every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand silver-pieces.
Solomoni ní ọgbà àjàrà kan ní Baali-Hamoni ó gbé ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀ fún àwọn alágbàtọ́jú olúkúlùkù ni ó ń mú èso rẹ̀ wá ẹgbẹ̀rún fàdákà.
12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: The thousand [silver-pieces] be to thee, Solomon; And to the keepers of its fruit, two hundred.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọgbà àjàrà mi jẹ́ tèmi, ó wà fún mi; ẹgbẹ̀rún ṣékélì jẹ́ tìrẹ, ìwọ Solomoni, igba sì jẹ́ ti àwọn alágbàtọ́jú èso.
13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, The companions hearken to thy voice: Let me hear [it].
Ìwọ tí ń gbé inú ọgbà, àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ dẹtí sí ohùn rẹ, jẹ́ kí èmi náà gbọ́ ohùn rẹ!
14 Haste, my beloved, And be thou like a gazelle or a young hart Upon the mountains of spices.
Yára wá, Olùfẹ́ mi, kí ìwọ kí ó sì rí bí abo egbin, tàbí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ àgbọ̀nrín, lórí òkè òórùn dídùn.
