Song of Solomon 1
Wimbo ulio bora wa Solomoni.
2 Let him kisse me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy loue is better then wine.
Unibusu kwa busu la kinywa chako, kwa maana upendo wako unafurahisha kuliko divai.
3 Because of the sauour of thy good ointments thy name is as an ointment powred out: therefore the virgins loue thee.
Manukato yako yananukia vizuri, jina lako ni kama manukato yaliyomiminwa. Ndiyo sababu wanawali wanakupenda!
4 Drawe me: we will runne after thee: the King hath brought me into his chabers: we will reioyce and be glad in thee: we will remember thy loue more then wine: the righteous do loue thee.
Nichukue twende nawe, na tufanye haraka! Mfalme na anilete ndani ya vyumba vyake. Marafiki Tunakushangilia na kukufurahia, tutasifu upendo wako zaidi kuliko divai. Mpendwa Tazama jinsi ilivyo bora wakupende!
5 I am blacke, O daughters of Ierusalem, but comely, as the tentes of Kedar, and as the curtaines of Salomon.
Mimi ni mweusi, lakini napendeza, enyi binti za Yerusalemu, mweusi kama mahema ya Kedari, kama mapazia ya hema la Solomoni.
6 Regard ye me not because I am blacke: for the sunne hath looked vpon mee. The sonnes of my mother were angry against mee: they made me the keeper of ye vines: but I kept not mine owne vine.
Usinikazie macho kwa sababu mimi ni mweusi, kwa sababu nimefanywa mweusi na jua. Wana wa mama yangu walinikasirikia na kunifanya niwe mtunza mashamba ya mizabibu. Shamba langu mwenyewe la mizabibu nimeliacha.
7 Shewe me, O thou, whome my soule loueth, where thou feedest, where thou liest at noone: for why should I be as she that turneth aside to the flockes of thy companions?
Niambie, wewe ambaye ninakupenda, unalisha wapi kundi lako la kondoo na ni wapi unapowapumzisha kondoo wako adhuhuri. Kwa nini niwe kama mwanamke aliyefunikwa shela karibu na makundi ya rafiki zako?
8 If thou knowe not, O thou the fairest among women, get thee foorth by the steps of the flocke, and feede thy kiddes by the tents of the shepheards.
Kama hujui, ewe mwanamke mzuri kuliko wote, fuata nyayo za kondoo, na kulisha wana-mbuzi wako karibu na hema za wachungaji.
9 I haue compared thee, O my loue, to the troupe of horses in the charets of Pharaoh.
Mpenzi wangu, ninakufananisha na farasi jike aliyefungwa katika mojawapo ya magari ya vita ya Farao.
10 Thy cheekes are comely with rowes of stones, and thy necke with chaines.
Mashavu yako yanapendeza yakiwa na vipuli, shingo yako ikiwa na mikufu ya vito.
11 We will make thee borders of golde with studdes of siluer.
Tutakufanyia vipuli vya dhahabu, vyenye kupambwa kwa fedha.
12 Whiles the King was at his repast, my spikenard gaue the smelll thereof.
Wakati mfalme alipokuwa mezani pake, manukato yangu yalisambaza harufu yake nzuri.
13 My welbeloued is as a bundle of myrrhe vnto me: he shall lie betweene my breasts.
Mpenzi wangu kwangu mimi ni kifuko cha manemane kati ya matiti yangu.
14 My welbeloued is as a cluster of camphire vnto me in the vines of Engedi.
Mpenzi wangu kwangu mimi ni kama kishada cha maua ya mhina kutoka mashamba ya mizabibu ya En-Gedi.
15 My loue, beholde, thou art faire: beholde, thou art faire: thine eyes are like the doues.
Tazama jinsi ulivyo mzuri, mpenzi wangu! Tazama jinsi ulivyo mzuri! Macho yako ni kama ya hua.
16 My welbeloued, beholde, thou art faire and pleasant: also our bed is greene:
Tazama jinsi ulivyo mzuri, mpenzi wangu! Ee, tazama jinsi unavyopendeza! Na kitanda chetu ni cha majani mazuri.
17 The beames of our house are cedars, our rafters are of firre.
Nguzo za nyumba yetu ni mierezi, na mapao yetu ni miberoshi.
