< Song of Solomon 8 >

1 O that thou [wert] as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
Ah, soki ozalaki ndeko na ngai ya mobali oyo amelaki mabele ya mama na ngai! Soki nakutanaki na yo na libanda, nalingaki kopesa yo beze, mpe moto moko te alingaki kotiola ngai.
2 I would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother’s house, [who] would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
Nalingaki komema yo mpe kokotisa yo na ndako ya mama na ngai, mpo ete oteya ngai bolingo. Nalingaki komelisa yo vino ya kitoko, oyo basali na bambuma ya grenade.
3 His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
Tika ete loboko na ye ya mwasi ezala na se ya moto na ngai, mpe loboko na ye ya mobali ekanga ngai nzoto!
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
Bilenge basi ya Yelusalemi, nabondeli bino: bolamusa Bolingo na ngai te liboso ete ye moko akoma na posa ya kolamuka.
5 Who [is] this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth [that] bare thee.
Nani oyo abimi na esobe mpe alaleli mobali na ye ya motema? Nalamusaki yo na se ya nzete ya pome, na esika oyo mama na yo azwaki zemi na yo, esika oyo abotaki yo na pasi.
6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals thereof [are] coals of fire, [which hath a] most vehement flame. (Sheol h7585)
Tia ngai lokola kashe na motema na yo, lokola kashe na loboko na yo; pamba te bolingo ezali makasi lokola kufa, zuwa ezali makasi lokola mokili ya bakufi. Moto ya bolingo epelaka makasi lokola kake kowuta epai na Yawe. (Sheol h7585)
7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if [a] man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
Mayi minene ekoki koboma moto ya bolingo te; ezala mayi ya bibale, ekoki komela yango te. Soki moto apesi biloko na ye nyonso ya ndako mpo na kosomba bolingo, solo penza bakotiola ye.
8 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
Tozali na ndeko moko ya mwasi, azali nanu moke; azali nanu ata na mabele te. Tokosala nini mpo na ye na mokolo oyo bakoluka ye na libala?
9 If she [be] a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she [be] a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
Soki azalaki mir, tolingaki kotonga likolo na ye ndako oyo esalemi na palata; soki azalaki ekuke, tolingaki kokanga ye na libaya ya sedele.
10 I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
Nazali mir, mpe mabele na ngai ezali lokola bandako milayi. Boye, na miso na ye, nazali lokola mwasi oyo azwi kimia.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver.
Salomo azali na elanga ya vino kati na Bala-Amoni, apesi yango na bakengeli; moko na moko kati na bango azalaki kopesa mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkoto moko mpo na kosomba bambuma na yango.
12 My vineyard, which [is] mine, [is] before me: thou, O Solomon, [must have] a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
Oh Salomo, mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkoto moko ezali ya yo, mpe bibende nkama mibale ezali ya bakengeli bambuma; kasi elanga na ngai ya vino, oyo ezali liboso na ngai, ezali ya ngai.
13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear [it].
Yo oyo ovandi kati na bilanga, baninga na yo balingi koyoka mongongo na yo; tika ete oyokisa ngai yango!
14 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
Oh bolingo na ngai, kima mbangu, zala lokola mboloko to lokola mwana ya mbuli; kende na likolo ya bangomba oyo etondi na matiti ya solo kitoko.
