Song of Solomon 3
1 One night when I was lying in bed, I longed for the one I love. I longed for him, but he was nowhere to be found.
Dare farai a kan gadona na nemi wanda zuciyata take ƙauna; na neme shi amma ban same shi ba.
2 So I said to myself, “I will get up now and go through the city, looking in its streets and squares for the one I love.” I looked for him but I didn't find him.
Zan tashi yanzu in zagaya gari, in ratsa titunansa da dandalinsa; zan nemi wanda zuciyata take ƙauna. Saboda haka na neme shi, amma ban same shi ba.
3 The watchmen found me as they went through the city. “Have you seen the one I love?” I asked them.
Masu tsaro suka gamu da ni yayinda suke kai kawo a cikin birni, sai na ce, “Kun ga mini wanda zuciyata take ƙauna?”
4 Only a little farther on after I'd passed them I found my love! I held him close and would not let him go until I'd brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me.
Rabuwata da su ke nan sai na sami wanda zuciyata take ƙauna. Na riƙe shi, ban yarda yă tafi ba sai da na kawo shi gidan mahaifiyata, zuwa ɗakin wadda ta yi cikina.
5 Women of Jerusalem, swear to me by the gazelles or the wild deer that you won't disturb our love until the right time.
’Yan matan Urushalima, ku yi mini alkawari da bareyi da ƙishimai na jeji. Ba za ku tā da ko ku farka ƙauna ba sai haka ya zama lalle.
6 Who is this coming in from the wilderness like a plume of smoke, like a burning sacrifice scented with myrrh and frankincense, with all kinds of imported perfumed powders?
Wane ne wannan mai zuwa daga hamada kamar tunnuƙewar hayaƙi, cike da ƙanshin turaren mur da lubban da aka yi da kayan yajin’yan kasuwa?
7 Look, it's Solomon's sedan chair, accompanied by sixty of Israel's best warriors.
Duba! Abin ɗaukar Solomon ne, jarumawa sittin suke rakiya, zaɓaɓɓun sojojin Isra’ila,
8 All of them are expert swordsmen who have battle experience. They each carry a sword strapped to the thigh, ready for any night-time attacks.
dukansu suna saye da takobi dukansu ƙwararru ne a yaƙi, kowanne da takobinsa a rataye a gefensa, a shirye don abubuwan bantsoro na dare.
9 (Solomon's sedan chair was made for him with wood from Lebanon.
Sarki Solomon ya yi wa kansa abin ɗauka; ya yi shi da katako daga Lebanon.
10 Its posts were covered in silver, and the back was covered in gold. The seat cushion was purple. The interior was lovingly decorated.) Women of Jerusalem,
An yi sandunansa da azurfa, aka yi ƙasarsa da zinariya. An lulluɓe wurin zaman da zanen shunayya,’yan matan Urushalima sun yi mata irin yayen da ake yi na ƙauna.
11 come out! Look, women of Zion! See King Solomon wearing the crown that his mother placed on his head on his wedding day, his happiest day.
Fito, ku’yan matan Sihiyona, ku ga Sarki Solomon yana saye da rawani, rawanin da mahaifiyarsa ta naɗa masa, a ranar aurensa, a ranar da zuciyarsa ta yi farin ciki.
