Song of Solomon 1
1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
Wimbo ulio Bora, ambao ni wa Sulemani. Wanamke mdogo akizungumza na mpenzi wake
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for your love is better than wine.
O, laiti ungenibusu na mabasu ya mdomo wako, kwa kuwa upendo wako ni bora kuliko mvinyo.
3 Because of the savour of your good ointments your name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love you.
Mafuta yako ya upako yana manukato mazuri; jina lako ni kama marashi yaeleayo, hivyo wanawake wadogo wanakupenda.
4 Draw me, we will run after you: the king has brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in you, we will remember your love more than wine: the upright love you.
Nichukuwe kwako, na tutakimbia. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe Mfalme amenipeleka vyumbani mwake. Mwanamke akizungumza na mpenzi wake nina furuha; nina furahi kuhusu wewe; acha ni shereheke upendo wako; ni bora kuliko mvinyo. Ni halisi kwa wanawake wengine kupenda. Mwanamke akizungumza na wanawake wengine.
5 I am black, but comely, O all of you daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Mimi ni mweusi lakini mzuri, enyi mabinti wa wanaume wa Yerusalemu - mweusi kama hema za Kedari, muzuri kama mapazia ya Sulemani.
6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun has looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Usinishangae kwasababu ni mweusi, kwasababu jua limeniunguza. Wana wa mama yangu walikuwa na hasira juu yangu; walinifanya mtunzi wa mashamba ya mizabibu, lakini mshamba langu la mizabibu sijatunza. Wanamke akizungumza na mpenzi wake.
7 Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, where you feed, where you make your flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turns aside by the flocks of your companions?
Niambie, wewe ninaye kupenda, wapi unalisha mifugo yako? Wapi unapumzisha mifugo yako mchana? Kwa nini niwe kama mtu anaye akangaika miongoni mwa mifugo ya marafiki zako? Mpenzi wake anamjibu
8 If you know not, O you fairest among women, go your way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed your kids beside the shepherds' tents.
Kama haujui, uliye mzuri miongoni mwa wanawake, fuata nyayo za mifugo yangu, na ulishe watoto wako wa mbuzi karibu na hema za wachungaji.
9 I have compared you, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
Nina kulinganisha, mpenzi wangu, na farasi mzuri wakike miongoni mwa farasi wa magari ya Farao.
10 Your cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, your neck with chains of gold.
Mashavu yako ni mazuri na mapambo, shingo yako na mikufu ya madini.
11 We will make you borders of gold with studs of silver.
Nitakufanyia mapambo ya dhahabu yaliochanganywa na fedha. Mwanamke akiongea mwenyewe.
12 While the king sits at his table, my spikenard sends forth the smell thereof.
Wakati mfalme akiwa amelala kitandani mwake, marashi yangu yakasambaza arufu.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night between my breasts.
Mpenzi wangu ni kwangu kama mkebe wa marashi unao lala usiku katika ya maziwa yangu.
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
Mpenzi wangu ni kwangu kama kifurushi cha maua ya hena katika mashamba ya mizabibu ya Eni Gedi. Mpenzi wake anazungumza naye
15 Behold, you are fair, my love; behold, you are fair; you have doves' eyes.
Ona, wewe ni mzuri, mpenzi wangu; ona, wewe ni mzuri; macho yako ni kama ya hua. Mwanamke anazungumza na mpenzi wake.
16 Behold, you are fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
Ona, wewe ni mtanashati, mpenzi wangu, jinsi mtanashati.
17 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
Nguzo za nyumba yetu ni za matawi ya mierezi, na dari letu ni la matawi ya miberoshi.
