< Song of Solomon 3 >
1 In my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and found him not.
Achọrọ m onye m hụrụ nʼanya nʼelu ihe ndina m nʼabalị, ma ahụghị m ya. Ebiliri m chọọ ya ma ahụghị m ya.
2 I will rise, and will go about the city: in the streets and the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and I found him not.
Ugbu a, aga m ebili pụọ jegharịa nʼama niile na nʼokporoụzọ niile nke obodo ịchọ ya, m ga-achọgharị onye m hụrụ nʼanya. Ya mere, achọrọ m ya ma ahụghị m ya.
3 The watchmen who keep the city, found me: Have you seen him, whom my soul loveth?
Ndị nche na-eche obodo hụrụ m, mgbe ha na-agagharị nʼobodo, ma ajụrụ m ha sị, “Biko, unu hụrụ onye ahụ m hụrụ nʼanya?”
4 When I had a little passed by them, I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him: and I will not let him go, till I bring him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that bore me.
Ọ dịghị anya mgbe m gafere ha, achọtara m onye m hụrụ nʼanya, ejidesiri m ya ike, ahapụghị m ya aka tutu m duta ya nʼụlọ nne m, nʼime ụlọ nwanyị tụrụ ime m.
5 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes and the harts of the fields, that you stir not up, nor awake my beloved, till she please.
Unu ụmụ agbọghọ Jerusalem, eji m nne mgbada niile na nne ele ọhịa gbaa unu iyi sị, unu akpọtela, maọbụ mee ka ịhụnanya teta ruo mgbe o masịrị ya.
6 Who is she that goeth up by the desert, as a pillar of smoke of aromatical spices, of myrrh, and frankincense, and of all the powders of the perfumer?
Onye bụ nke a na-esi nʼọzara na-abịa dịka anwụrụ ọkụ, nke tere mmanụ máá na ụda na-esi isi ụtọ, ụda nke ndị ahịa na-ere?
7 Behold threescore valiant ones of the most valiant of Israel, surrounded the bed of Solomon?
Lee ọ bụ ụgbọ Solomọn. Iri mmadụ isii ndị ọka agha, ndị a maara aha ha karịsịa nʼala Izrel sokwa ya.
8 All holding swords, and most expert in war: every man’s sword upon his thigh, because of fears in the night.
Ha niile ji mma agha; ha bụ ndị a zụrụ nke ọma ibu agha. Mma agha onye ọbụla dịkwa nʼukwu ya, ịdị njikere maka ihe egwu abalị.
9 King Solomon hath made him a litter of the wood of Libanus:
Eze Solomọn rụrụ onwe ya ụgbọ a nke o ji osisi sitere Lebanọn rụọ.
10 The pillars thereof he made of silver, the seat of gold, the going up of purple: the midst he covered with charity for the daughters of Jerusalem.
Ogidi ya ka o ji ọlaọcha mee; ala ya bụkwa ọlaedo. Ebe ịnọdụ ọdụ ya ka e ji akwa odo odo kpaa, e ji ịhụnanya dozie ebe ime ya. Ndị inyom Jerusalem,
11 Go forth, ye daughters of Sion, and see king Solomon in the diadem, wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the joy of his heart.
pụtanụ, bịa hụrụ, unu ụmụ agbọghọ Zayọn, bịanụ ka unu hụ Solomọn bụ eze; lee ụdị okpueze nne ya kpunyere ya nʼisi, nʼụbọchị agbamakwụkwọ ya, nʼụbọchị obi ụtọ na ịṅụrị ọṅụ ya.
