Song of Solomon 8
1 Oh that you were like my brother, who sucked the breasts of my mother. If I found you outside, I would kiss you; yes, and no one would despise me.
Ìwọ ìbá rí bí arákùnrin mi si mi, èyí tí ó mú ọmú ìyá mi dàgbà! Èmi ìbá rí ọ ní òde, èmi ìbá fi ẹnu kò ọ́ ní ẹnu, wọn kì bá fi mí ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.
2 I would lead you, bringing you into my mother's house, who would instruct me. I would have you drink spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranate.
Èmi ìbá fi ọ̀nà hàn ọ́ èmi ìbá mú ọ wá sínú ilé ìyá mi, ìwọ ìbá kọ́ mi. Èmi ìbá fi ọtí wáìnì olóòórùn dídùn fún ọ mu, àti oje èso pomegiranate mi.
3 His left hand would be under my head. His right hand would embrace me.
Ọwọ́ òsì rẹ ìbá wà ní abẹ́ orí mi, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ ìbá sì gbà mí mọ́ra.
4 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
Ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu, èmi pè yín ní ìjà. Ẹ má ṣe rú olùfẹ́ mi sókè. Ẹ má ṣe jí i títí tí yóò fi wù ú.
5 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I aroused you. There your mother conceived you. There she was in labor and bore you.
Ta ni ẹni tí ń gòkè bọ̀ wá láti aginjù, tí ó fi ara ti olùfẹ́ rẹ̀. Olólùfẹ́ Ní abẹ́ igi ápù ni mo ti jí ọ dìde; níbẹ̀ ni ìyá rẹ ti lóyún rẹ níbẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ń rọbí bí ọ sí.
6 Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD. (Sheol h7585)
Gbé mi sí àyà rẹ bí èdìdì bí èdìdì lé apá rẹ; nítorí ìfẹ́ lágbára bí ikú, ìjowú sì le bí isà òkú jíjò rẹ̀ rí bí jíjò iná, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀wọ́-iná Olúwa. (Sheol h7585)
7 Many waters can't quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.
Omi púpọ̀ kò le paná ìfẹ́; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbígbá omi kò le gbá a lọ. Bí ènìyàn bá fún ìfẹ́, ní gbogbo ọrọ̀ ilé rẹ̀, a ó kẹ́gàn rẹ̀ pátápátá.
8 We have a little sister. She has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is to be spoken for?
Àwa ní arábìnrin kékeré kan, òun kò sì ní ọmú, kí ni àwa yóò fún arábìnrin wa, ní ọjọ́ tí a ó bá fẹ́ ẹ?
9 If she is a wall, we will build on her a turret of silver. If she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
Bí òun bá jẹ́ ògiri, àwa yóò kọ́ ilé odi fàdákà lé e lórí. Bí òun bá jẹ́ ìlẹ̀kùn, àwa yóò fi pákó kedari dí i.
10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers, then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.
Èmi jẹ́ ògiri, ọmú mi sì rí bí ilé ìṣọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo ṣe rí ní ojú rẹ̀ bí ẹni tí ń mú àlàáfíà wá.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon. He leased out the vineyard to keepers. Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
Solomoni ní ọgbà àjàrà kan ní Baali-Hamoni ó gbé ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀ fún àwọn alágbàtọ́jú olúkúlùkù ni ó ń mú èso rẹ̀ wá ẹgbẹ̀rún fàdákà.
12 My own vineyard is before me. The thousand are for you, Solomon; two hundred for those who tend its fruit.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọgbà àjàrà mi jẹ́ tèmi, ó wà fún mi; ẹgbẹ̀rún ṣékélì jẹ́ tìrẹ, ìwọ Solomoni, igba sì jẹ́ ti àwọn alágbàtọ́jú èso.
13 You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice.
Ìwọ tí ń gbé inú ọgbà, àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ dẹtí sí ohùn rẹ, jẹ́ kí èmi náà gbọ́ ohùn rẹ!
14 Come away, my beloved. Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
Yára wá, Olùfẹ́ mi, kí ìwọ kí ó sì rí bí abo egbin, tàbí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ àgbọ̀nrín, lórí òkè òórùn dídùn.
