< Song of Songs 8 >
1 I would that you, O my kinsman, were he that sucked the breasts of my mother; when I found you without, I would kiss you; yes, they should not despise me.
Ukanakhala kuti ndiwe mlongo wanga, amene anayamwa mawere a amayi anga! Ndikanakumana nawe pa njira, ndikanakupsompsona, ndipo palibe wina aliyense akanandinyoza.
2 I would take you, I would bring you into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me; I would make you to drink of spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranates.
Ndikanakutenga ndi kukulowetsa mʼnyumba ya amayi anga, amayi amene anandiphunzitsa, ndikanakupatsa vinyo wotsekemera kuti umwe, zotsekemera za makangadza.
3 His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
Mutu wanga watsamira dzanja lake lamanzere ndipo dzanja lake lamanja landikumbatira.
4 I have charged you, you daughters of Jerusalem, by the virtues of the field, that you stir not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
Inu akazi a ku Yerusalemu, ndithu ndikukupemphani: musachigwedeze chikondi kapena kuchiutsa mpaka pamene chifunire ichocho.
5 Who is this that comes up all white, leaning on her kinsman? I raised you up under an apple tree; there your mother brought you forth; there she that bore you brought you forth.
Kodi ndani uyo akutuluka ku chipululuyo, atatsamira wokondedwa wakeyo? Mkazi Ndinakudzutsa pa tsinde pa mtengo wa apulosi, pamenepo ndi pamene amayi anachirira, pamenepo ndi pamene wokubereka anamva ululu pokubala iweyo.
6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave, her shafts are shafts of fire, [even] the flames thereof. (Sheol )
Undiyike pamtima pako ngati chidindo, ngati chidindo cha pa dzanja lako; pakuti chikondi nʼchamphamvu ngati imfa, nsanje ndiyaliwuma ngati manda. Chikondi chimachita kuti lawilawi ngati malawi a moto wamphamvu. (Sheol )
7 Much water will not be able to quench love, and rivers shall not drown it; if a man would give all his substance for love, [men] would utterly despise it.
Madzi ochuluka sangachizimitse chikondi, mitsinje singachikokolole chikondicho. Ngati wina apereka chuma chonse cha mʼnyumba mwake chifukwa cha chikondi, adzangonyozeka nazo kotheratu.
8 Our sister is little, and has no breasts; what shall we do for our sister, in the day wherein she shall be spoken for?
Ife tili naye mlongo wathu wamngʼono, koma alibe mawere, kodi tidzamuchitira chiyani mlongo wathuyu pa tsiku limene adzamufunsire?
9 If she is a wall, let us build upon her silver bulwarks; and if she is a door, let us carve for her cedar panels.
Ngati iye ndi khoma, tidzamumangira nsanja ya siliva. Ngati iye ndi chitseko, tidzamutchinga ndi matabwa a mkungudza.
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are as towers; I was in their eyes as one that found peace.
Ine ndili ngati khoma, ndipo mawere anga ndi nsanja zake. Tsono mʼmaso mwa bwenzi langa ndine wobweretsa mtendere.
11 Solomon had a vineyard in Beelamon; he let his vineyard to keepers; every one was to bring for its fruit a thousand [pieces] of silver.
Solomoni anali ndi munda wampesa ku Baala-Hamoni; iyeyo anabwereketsa munda wamphesawo kwa alimi, aliyense mwa iwo ankayenera kupereka ndalama zasiliva 1,000 mʼmalo mwa zipatso zake.
12 My vineyard, even mine, is before me; Solomon [shall have] a thousand, and they that keep its fruit two hundred.
Koma munda wanga wampesa ndi wangawanga ndiponso wa ine ndekha. Iwe Solomoni, khala nazo ndalama zasiliva 1,000 ndipo ndalama zasiliva 200 ndi za amene akusamalira mundawo.
13 You that dwell in the gardens, the companions listen to your voice: make me hear [it].
Iwe amene umakhala mʼminda uli pamodzi ndi anzako, ndilole kuti ndimve liwu lako!
14 Away, my kinsman, and be like a doe or a fawn on the mountains of spices.
Fulumira wokondedwa wanga, ndipo ukhale ngati gwape kapena mwana wa mbawala wothamanga mʼmapiri mʼmene mumamera mbewu zokometsera chakudya.
