Song of Solomon 1
1 The Song of Songs, that [is] of Solomon.
Wimbo ulio bora wa Solomoni.
2 Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth, For better [are] your loves than wine.
Unibusu kwa busu la kinywa chako, kwa maana upendo wako unafurahisha kuliko divai.
3 For fragrance [are] your good perfumes. Perfume emptied out—your name, Therefore have virgins loved you!
Manukato yako yananukia vizuri, jina lako ni kama manukato yaliyomiminwa. Ndiyo sababu wanawali wanakupenda!
4 Draw me: we run after you, The king has brought me into his inner chambers, We delight and rejoice in you, We mention your loves more than wine, Uprightly they have loved you!
Nichukue twende nawe, na tufanye haraka! Mfalme na anilete ndani ya vyumba vyake. Marafiki Tunakushangilia na kukufurahia, tutasifu upendo wako zaidi kuliko divai. Mpendwa Tazama jinsi ilivyo bora wakupende!
5 I [am] dark and lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, as tents of Kedar, as curtains of Solomon.
Mimi ni mweusi, lakini napendeza, enyi binti za Yerusalemu, mweusi kama mahema ya Kedari, kama mapazia ya hema la Solomoni.
6 Do not fear me, because I [am] very dark, Because the sun has scorched me, The sons of my mother were angry with me, They made me keeper of the vineyards, My vineyard—my own—I have not kept.
Usinikazie macho kwa sababu mimi ni mweusi, kwa sababu nimefanywa mweusi na jua. Wana wa mama yangu walinikasirikia na kunifanya niwe mtunza mashamba ya mizabibu. Shamba langu mwenyewe la mizabibu nimeliacha.
7 Declare to me, you whom my soul has loved, Where you delight, Where you lie down at noon, For why am I as one veiled, By the ranks of your companions?
Niambie, wewe ambaye ninakupenda, unalisha wapi kundi lako la kondoo na ni wapi unapowapumzisha kondoo wako adhuhuri. Kwa nini niwe kama mwanamke aliyefunikwa shela karibu na makundi ya rafiki zako?
8 If you do not know, O beautiful among women, Go forth by the traces of the flock, And feed your kids by the shepherds’ dwellings!
Kama hujui, ewe mwanamke mzuri kuliko wote, fuata nyayo za kondoo, na kulisha wana-mbuzi wako karibu na hema za wachungaji.
9 To my joyous one in chariots of Pharaoh, I have compared you, my friend,
Mpenzi wangu, ninakufananisha na farasi jike aliyefungwa katika mojawapo ya magari ya vita ya Farao.
10 Your cheeks have been lovely with garlands, your neck with chains.
Mashavu yako yanapendeza yakiwa na vipuli, shingo yako ikiwa na mikufu ya vito.
11 We make garlands of gold for you, with studs of silver!
Tutakufanyia vipuli vya dhahabu, vyenye kupambwa kwa fedha.
12 While the king [is] in his circle, My spikenard has given its fragrance.
Wakati mfalme alipokuwa mezani pake, manukato yangu yalisambaza harufu yake nzuri.
13 A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me, Between my breasts it lodges.
Mpenzi wangu kwangu mimi ni kifuko cha manemane kati ya matiti yangu.
14 A cluster of cypress [is] my beloved to me, In the vineyards of En-Gedi!
Mpenzi wangu kwangu mimi ni kama kishada cha maua ya mhina kutoka mashamba ya mizabibu ya En-Gedi.
15 Behold, you [are] beautiful, my friend, Behold, you [are] beautiful, your eyes [are] doves!
Tazama jinsi ulivyo mzuri, mpenzi wangu! Tazama jinsi ulivyo mzuri! Macho yako ni kama ya hua.
16 Behold, you [are] beautiful, my love, indeed, pleasant, Indeed, our bed [is] green,
Tazama jinsi ulivyo mzuri, mpenzi wangu! Ee, tazama jinsi unavyopendeza! Na kitanda chetu ni cha majani mazuri.
17 The beams of our houses [are] cedars, Our rafters [are] firs, I [am] a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys!
Nguzo za nyumba yetu ni mierezi, na mapao yetu ni miberoshi.
