Song of Solomon 8
1 Who makes you as a brother to me, Suckling the breasts of my mother? I find you outside, I kiss you, Indeed, they do not despise me,
Naarĩ korwo no ũtuĩke ta mũrũ wa maitũ, ũrĩa wongire nyondo cia maitũ! Hĩndĩ ĩyo, ingĩgũtũnga nja, ndaakũmumunya, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩĩmena.
2 I lead you, I bring you into my mother’s house, She teaches me, I cause you to drink of the spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate,
Ingĩgũtongoria, ngũtware nyũmba ya maitũ, ũcio wandutire maũndũ. Ingĩkũhe ndibei ĩrĩa njamithie wega ũnyue, o yo ngogoyo ya mĩkomamanga yakwa.
3 His left hand [is] under my head, And his right embraces me.
Guoko gwake kwa ũmotho akũigĩte rungu rwa mũtwe wakwa, nakuo guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo gũkaahĩmbĩria.
4 I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, How you stir up, And how you wake the love until she pleases!
Inyuĩ aarĩ a Jerusalemu, ndamwĩhĩtithia atĩrĩ: Mũtikoimbuthũre wendo o na kana mũwarahũre, o nginya wĩrirĩrie kwarahũka guo mwene.
5 Who [is] this coming from the wilderness, Hastening herself for her beloved? Under the citron-tree I have awoken you, There your mother pledged you, There she [who] bore you gave a pledge.
Nũũ ũyũ ũroka ambatĩte oimĩte werũ-inĩ, etiiranĩtie na mwendwa wake? Mwendwa Rungu-inĩ rwa mũtĩ wa matunda nĩho ndakwarahũrire ũrĩ toro; hau nĩho nyũkwa aagĩĩrĩire nda yaku, o hau nĩho ũcio warĩ na ruo rwa kũrũmwo aagũciarĩire.
6 Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm, For strong as death is love, Sharp as Sheol is jealousy, Its burnings [are] burnings of fire, a flame of YAH! (Sheol h7585)
Njĩkĩra ta mũhũũri ngoro-inĩ yaku, ũũhũũre ta mũhũũri guoko-inĩ gwaku; amu wendo ũrĩ hinya o ta gĩkuũ, ũiru waguo ũmĩtie ngoro o ta mbĩrĩra. Ũcinaga o ta mwaki ũrakana, na o ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũnene mũno rwa Jehova. (Sheol h7585)
7 Many waters are not able to quench the love, And floods do not wash it away. If one gives all the wealth of his house for love, Treading down—they tread on it.
Maaĩ maingĩ matingĩhota kũhoria wendo; njũũĩ itingĩhota kũũthereria. Korwo mũndũ no aheane ũtonga wothe wa nyũmba yake nĩ ũndũ wa wendo-rĩ, no kũnyũrũrio ũngĩnyũrũrio o biũ.
8 We have a little sister, and she does not have breasts, What do we do for our sister, In the day that it is told of her?
Nĩtũrĩ na kairĩtu ka maitũ, nako gatiumĩtie nyondo. Tũgeka atĩa nĩ ũndũ wa kairĩtu kau gaitũ, mũthenya ũrĩa gagaatuĩka ga kũũrio?
9 If she is a wall, we build by her a palace of silver. And if she is a door, We fashion by her board-work of cedar.
Korwo nĩ rũthingo-rĩ, tũngĩaka mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ ya betha igũrũ rĩako. Korwo nĩ mũrango-rĩ, tũngĩkahingĩrĩria na mbaũ cia mũtarakwa.
10 I [am] a wall, and my breasts as towers, Then I have been in his eyes as one finding peace.
Niĩ ndĩ rũthingo, nacio nyondo ciakwa ihaana ta mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio maitho-inĩ make-rĩ, nduĩkĩte o ta mũndũ ũtũmaga aiganĩre.
11 Solomon has a vineyard in Ba‘al-Hamon, He has given the vineyard to keepers, Each brings for its fruit one thousand pieces of silver;
Solomoni aarĩ na mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ kũu Baali-Hamoni; mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ akĩũkomborithia kũrĩ akombori. O mũndũ aarĩ arehage cekeri 1,000 cia betha nĩ ũndũ wa maciaro maguo.
12 My vineyard—my own—is before me, The one thousand [is] for you, O Solomon. And the two hundred for those keeping its fruit. O dweller in gardens!
No mũgũnda wakwa wa mĩthabibũ nĩ wakwa o niĩ nyiki; cekeri icio 1,000 nĩ ciaku wee Solomoni; nacio cekeri 200 nĩ cia arĩa marĩmagĩra maciaro maguo.
13 The companions are attending to your voice, Cause me to hear. Flee, my beloved, and be like to a roe,
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee ũikaraga mĩgũnda-inĩ hamwe na arata a thiritũ yaku, reke o na niĩ njigue mũgambo waku.
14 Or to a young one of the harts on mountains of spices!
Umagara na ihenya mwendwa wakwa, ũtuĩke ta thiiya, kana ta thwariga nyanake ĩrĩ irĩma-inĩ iria ĩrĩ mahuti manungi wega.
