Song of Solomon 3
1 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but I 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 now, and go about the city, in the streets and in the broad ways, I will seek him whom my soul loveth.' I sought him, but 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 that go about the city found me: 'Saw ye 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 Scarce had I passed from them, when I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived 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 gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, that ye awaken not, nor stir up love, until it 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 this that cometh up out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
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, it is the litter of Solomon; threescore mighty men are about it, of the mighty men of Israel.
Lee ọ bụ ụgbọ Solomọn. Iri mmadụ isii ndị ọka agha, ndị a maara aha ha karịsịa nʼala Izrel sokwa ya.
8 They all handle the sword, and are expert in war; every man hath his sword upon his thigh, because of dread 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 made himself a palanquin of the wood of Lebanon.
Eze Solomọn rụrụ onwe ya ụgbọ a nke o ji osisi sitere Lebanọn rụọ.
10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, the top thereof of gold, the seat of it of purple, the inside thereof being inlaid with love, from 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, O ye daughters of Zion, and gaze upon king Solomon, even upon the crown wherewith his mother hath crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness 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.
