Song of Solomon 6
1 To where has your beloved gone, O beautiful among women? To where has your beloved turned, And we seek him with you?
Mpenzi wako ameenda wapi, ulio mzuri miongoni mwa wanawake? Kwa njia gani mpenzi wako ameenda? ilitumtafute nawe? Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza mwenyewe
2 My beloved went down to his garden, To the beds of the spice, To delight himself in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Mpenzi wangu ameenda katika bustani yake, kwenye vitanda vya manukato, kwenda kula katika bustani na kukusanya nyinyoro.
3 I [am] my beloved’s, and my beloved [is] mine, Who is delighting himself among the lilies.
Mimi ni wa mpenzi wangu, na mpenzi wangu ni wangu; na kula katika nyinyoro kwa raha. Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza naye
4 You [are] beautiful, my friend, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts.
Wewe ni mzuri kama Tirza, mpenzi wangu, wapendeza kama Yerusalemu, waamasisha kama jeshi lenye bendera mbele.
5 Turn around your eyes from before me, Because they have made me proud. Your hair [is] as a row of the goats, That have shone from Gilead,
Geuza macho yako mbali na mimi, kwa kuwa yana nizidi ukali. Nywele zako ni kama kundi la mbuzi likishuka chini kutoka miteremko ya Mlima Gileadi.
6 Your teeth as a row of the lambs, That have come up from the washing, Because all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them.
Meno yako ni kama kundi la kondoo likishuka kutoka sehemu ya kuoshwa. Kila mmoja anapacha, na hamna ata mmoja aliyefiwa.
7 As the work of the pomegranate [is] your temple behind your veil.
Mashavu yako ni kama majani ya komamanga nyuma ya kitambaa chako cha uso. Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza peke yake
8 Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without number.
Kuna malikia sitini, masuria themanini, na wanawake wadogo bila idadi.
9 One is my dove, my perfect one, She [is] one of her mother, She [is] the choice one of her that bore her, Daughters saw, and pronounce her blessed, Queens and concubines, and they praise her.
Hua wangu, asiye na doa wangu, ni yeye pekee; ni binti muhimu wa mama yake; ndiye kipenzi cha mwanamke aliye mzaa. Mabinti wa wenzengu wamemuona na kumuita mbarikiwa; wamalikia na masuria walimuona pia, na wakamsifu: Kile walicho sema wamalikia na masuria
10 “Who [is] this that is looking forth as morning, Beautiful as the moon—clear as the sun, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts?”
“Ni nani huyo anaye jitokeza kama kukicha, mzuri kama mwezi, ana ng'aa kama jua, uamasisha kama bendera ya jeshi?” Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe
11 To a garden of nuts I went down, To look on the buds of the valley, To see to where the vine had flourished, The pomegranates had blossomed—
Nimeenda kwenye kichaka cha miti ya milozi kuona mimea midogo ikikua bondeni, kuona kama mizabibu imechipua, na kama mikomamanga imestawi.
12 I did not know my soul, It made me—chariots of my people Nadib.
Nilikuwa nina furaha nikahisi kama nimepakia gari ya farasi la mtoto wa mfalme. Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza naye
13 Return, return, O Shulammith! Return, return, and we look on you. What do you see in Shulammith?
Geuka nyuma, geuka nyuma, wewe mwanamke mkamilifu; geuka nyuma, geuka nyuma iliniweze kukushangaa. Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza na mpenzi wake Kwanini wanishangaa, mwanamke mkamilifu, kana kwamba nina cheza katika ya mistari miwili ya wachezaji?
