Song of Solomon 6
1 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither hath thy beloved turned him, that we may seek him with thee?
Mpenzi wako amekwenda wapi, ewe mzuri kupita wanawake wote? Mpenzi wako amegeukia njia ipi, tupate kumtafuta pamoja nawe?
2 My beloved is gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Mpenzi wangu amekwenda bustanini mwake, kwenye vitalu vya vikolezo, kujilisha bustanini na kukusanya yungiyungi.
3 I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth [his flock] among the lilies.
Mimi ni wake mpenzi wangu, na mpenzi wangu ni wangu; yeye hujilisha katikati ya yungiyungi.
4 Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.
Wewe ni mzuri, mpenzi wangu, kama Tirsa, upendezaye kama Yerusalemu, umetukuka kama jeshi lenye bendera.
5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, that lie along the side of Gilead.
Uyageuze macho yako mbali nami, yananigharikisha. Nywele zako ni kama kundi la mbuzi wanaoteremka kutoka Gileadi.
6 Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes, which are come up from the washing; whereof every one hath twins, and none is bereaved among them.
Meno yako ni kama kundi la kondoo watokao kuogeshwa. Kila mmoja ana pacha lake, hakuna hata mmoja aliye peke yake.
7 Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind thy veil.
Mashavu yako nyuma ya shela yako ni kama vipande viwili vya komamanga.
8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.
Panaweza kuwepo malkia sitini, masuria themanini na mabikira wasiohesabika;
9 My dove, my undefiled, is [but] one; she is the only one of her mother; she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; [yea], the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
lakini hua wangu, mkamilifu wangu, ni wa namna ya pekee, binti pekee kwa mama yake, kipenzi cha yeye aliyemzaa. Wanawali walimwona na kumwita aliyebarikiwa; malkia na masuria walimsifu.
10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, terrible as an army with banners?
Ni nani huyu atokeaye kama mapambazuko, mzuri kama mwezi, mwangavu kama jua, ametukuka kama nyota zifuatanazo?
11 I went down into the garden of nuts, to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded, [and] the pomegranates were in flower.
Niliteremka kwenye bustani ya miti ya milozi ili kutazama machipuko ya bondeni, kuona kama mizabibu imechipua au kama mikomamanga imechanua maua.
12 Or ever I was aware, my soul set me [among] the chariots of my princely people.
Kabla sijangʼamua, shauku yangu iliniweka katikati ya magari ya kifalme ya kukokotwa na farasi ya watu wangu.
13 Return, return, O Shulammite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. Why will ye look upon the Shulammite, as upon the dance of Mahanaim?
Rudi, rudi, ee Mshulami; rudi, rudi ili tupate kukutazama! Mpenzi Kwa nini kumtazama Mshulami, kama kutazama ngoma ya Mahanaimu?
