Song of Solomon 3
1 In my bed by night I sought him that my soule loued: I sought him, but I found him not.
Usiku kucha kwenye kitanda changu nilimtafuta yule moyo wangu umpendaye; nilimtafuta, lakini sikumpata.
2 I will rise therefore nowe, and goe about in the citie, by the streetes and by the open places, and wil seeke him that my soule loueth: I sought him, but I found him not.
Sasa nitaondoka na kuzunguka mjini, katika barabara zake na viwanja; nitamtafuta yule moyo wangu umpendaye. Kwa hiyo nilimtafuta lakini sikumpata.
3 The watchmen that went about the citie, found mee: to whome I said, Haue you seene him, whome my soule loueth?
Walinzi walinikuta walipokuwa wakizunguka mji. Nikawauliza, “Je, mmemwona yule moyo wangu umpendaye?”
4 When I had past a litle from them, then I found him whom my soule loued: I tooke holde on him and left him not, till I had brought him vnto my mothers house into the chamber of her that conceiued me.
Kitambo kidogo tu baada ya kuwapita nilimpata yule moyo wangu umpendaye. Nilimshika na sikumwachia aende mpaka nilipomleta katika nyumba ya mama yangu, katika chumba cha yule aliyenichukua mimba.
5 I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, by the roes and by the hindes of the fielde, that ye stirre not vp, nor waken my loue vntill she please.
Binti za Yerusalemu, ninawaagiza kwa paa na kwa ayala wa shambani: Msichochee wala kuamsha mapenzi hata yatakapotaka yenyewe.
6 Who is shee that commeth vp out of the wildernes like pillars of smoke perfumed with myrrhe and incense, and with all the spices of the marchant?
Ni nani huyu anayekuja kutoka jangwani kama nguzo ya moshi, anayenukia manemane na uvumba iliyotengenezwa kwa vikolezo vyote vya mfanyabiashara?
7 Beholde his bed, which is Salomons: threescore strong men are round about it, of the valiant men of Israel.
Tazama! Ni gari la Solomoni lisindikizwalo na mashujaa sitini, walio wakuu sana wa Israeli,
8 They all handle the sworde, and are expert in warre, euery one hath his sword vpon his thigh for the feare by night.
wote wamevaa panga, wote wazoefu katika vita, kila mmoja na upanga wake pajani, wamejiandaa kwa ajili ya hofu za usiku.
9 King Salomon made himselfe a palace of the trees of Lebanon.
Mfalme Solomoni alijitengenezea gari; alilitengeneza kwa mbao kutoka Lebanoni.
10 Hee made the pillars thereof of siluer, and the pauement thereof of gold, the hangings thereof of purple, whose middes was paued with the loue of the daughters of Ierusalem.
Nguzo zake alizitengeneza kwa fedha, kitako chake kwa dhahabu. Kiti chake kilipambwa kwa zambarau, gari lake likanakshiwa njumu kwa upendo na binti za Yerusalemu.
11 Come forth, ye daughters of Zion, and behold the King Salomon with the crowne, wherewith his mother crowned him in ye day of his mariage, and in the day of the gladnes of his heart.
Tokeni nje, ninyi binti za Sayuni, mkamtazame Mfalme Solomoni akiwa amevaa taji, taji ambalo mama yake alimvika siku ya arusi yake, siku ambayo moyo wake ulishangilia.
