Song of Solomon 1
1 This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
Gesami noga: idafa amo Soloumane ea dedei. Uda da amane sia: i,
2 Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
“Dia lafi da nonogosu amoga na dedebosa. Dia sasagesu hou da waini hano ea hedai baligisa.
3 The fragrance of the cologne on your [skin] is [very] sweet/pleasing [CHI]. And your reputation is [very] good and spreads, [like] [SIM] the fragrance of the special oil spread on your skin. That is why the [other] young women are attracted to you.
Di da gabusiga: agoane naba. Na da dia dio nabasea, amo dawa: lala. Uda huluane da dima sasagemusa: fawane dawa: lala.
4 Take me quickly; take me to your home. [It is as though] you are my king; take me into your room. We are very happy [DOU] about you; we say that your love [for each other] is better than wine. It is not surprising that the other young women adore you.
Na dia oule, ani hobeale masunu. Di nama ouligisu hamone, dia sesei amoga na oule masa. Ani da gilisili hahawane hamomu. Ania da waini hano nanu, sasagesu hou bagade hamobeba: le, asigi dawa: su fisimu. Dafawane! Uda huluane da dima asigiba: le, na da hame hiosa.
5 You women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful; my dark skin is like [SIM] the tents in Kedar, [or] like the beautiful curtains in Solomon’s palace.
Dilia Yelusaleme fi uda! Na gadofo da bunumai be na da noga: iwane ba: sa. Na da hafoga: i soge abula diasu Gida sogebiga diala, amo defele bunumai gala, Be na da Soloumane hina bagade diasu giga: gisu abula defele, ida: iwane ba: sa.
6 [But] do not stare at me because of the sun having caused my skin to become dark; my brothers were angry with me, [so] they forced me to work [out in the sunshine] in the vineyards, so I was not able to take good care of my body/skin [CHI, MET].
Na gadofo da bunumaiba: le, dilia na mae higama. Bai na gadofo da esoga gia: le, bunumai. Lolalali da nama ougiba: le, na waini efe bugiga hawa: hamoma: ne asunasi. Na da nina: da: i ouligimu eso hame ba: i.
7 You whom I [SYN] love, where will you take your flock of sheep today? Where will you allow them to rest at noontime? I want to know because it is not right [RHQ] for me to wander around like a prostitute looking for you among the flocks that belong to your friends.
Na dogolegei! Nama adoma! Di da dia sibi wa: i gisi moma: ne habidili oule masa: bela: ? Ilia da dogoa eso gia: sea, habidili helefima: bela: ? Na da laluba: le sibi ouligisu eno ilia sibi wa: i ganodini, di hogoma: bela: ?” Dunu da amane sia: i,
8 You who are the most beautiful of all the women, if you [search for me and] do not know [where I will take my sheep], follow the tracks/footprints of the sheep. [Then] allow your young goats to (graze/eat grass) near the shepherds’ tents.
“Di, uda eno ilia noga: idafa ba: su hou baligisu uda! Di da na esalebe sogebi hame dawa: bela: ? Di asili, sibi wa: i amo fa: no bobogema. Dia goudi da gisi moma: ne, gisi sogebi amo sibi ouligisu dunu ilia abula diasu gadenene hogoma.
9 You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.
Na dogolegei! Felou ea sa: liode hiougisu hosi gawali ilia da hosi aseme ba: sea, hanasa, amo defele, dunu da di ba: sea, hanasa.
10 Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.
Dia dialuma hinabo da dia ba: dialebe, noga: i ba: sa. Amola dia dialuma hinabo da dia mugi da: iya dugisi da nina: hamosu igi agoai ba: sa.
11 We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
Be ninia da dia gisa: gima: ne, gouli sia: ine amoga silifa nina: hamoi liligi gala, amo hamomu.” Uda da amane sia: i,
12 While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
“Na hina bagade da ea fafai da: iya dialu. Na da gabusiga: manoma legeiba: le, hisi da gabusiga: amoga nabai ba: i.
13 The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.
Na sasagesu dunu da ‘me’ gabusiga: galebe agoane naba. E da na dodo da: iya diala.
14 He is like [MET] a bunch of flowers from the vineyards at En-Gedi.
Na sasagesu dunu da soge ale ifa mosoi amo da Enegidai moilai waini efe sagai ganodini falegasa, agoane ba: sa.” Dunu da amane sia: i,
15 You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
“Na dogolegei! Di da noga: idafa ba: sa! Di da nama sasagele ba: beba: le, dia si da nenemei ba: sa.” Uda da amane sia: i,
16 You who love me, you are very delightful/handsome, you are wonderful! This green grass will be [like] a couch [where we lie down].
“Na dogolegei! Di amola da noga: idafa ba: sa! Di da nama hahawane hamosa! Golofoia: i gisi da ania golasu hamomu.
17 [Branches of] cedar [trees] will shade us; [it is as though branches of] juniper/pine [trees] will be like [MET] a roof [over our heads].
‘Dolo’ ifa da ania diasu sa di agoai ba: mu. Amola ‘saibalase’ ifa da ania diasu figisu ganodini fei liligi agoai ba: mu.
