Song of Solomon 6
1 Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may 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 has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock 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. He browses 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 love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners.
Wewe ni mzuri kama Tirza, mpenzi wangu, wapendeza kama Yerusalemu, waamasisha kama jeshi lenye bendera mbele.
5 Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats, that lie along the side of 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 are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing, of which every one has twins; not one is bereaved among them.
Meno yako ni kama kundi la kondoo likishuka kutoka sehemu ya kuoshwa. Kila mmoja anapacha, na hamna ata mmoja aliyefiwa.
7 Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
Mashavu yako ni kama majani ya komamanga nyuma ya kitambaa chako cha uso. Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza peke yake
8 There are sixty queens, eighty concubines, and virgins without number.
Kuna malikia sitini, masuria themanini, na wanawake wadogo bila idadi.
9 My dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother’s only daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed. The queens and the concubines saw her, and they praised 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 she who looks out as the morning, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, and awesome as an army with banners?
“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 I went down into the nut tree grove, to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded, and the pomegranates were in flower.
Nimeenda kwenye kichaka cha miti ya milozi kuona mimea midogo ikikua bondeni, kuona kama mizabibu imechipua, na kama mikomamanga imestawi.
12 Without realizing it, my desire set me with my royal people’s chariots.
Nilikuwa nina furaha nikahisi kama nimepakia gari ya farasi la mtoto wa mfalme. Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza naye
13 Return, return, Shulammite! Return, return, that we may gaze at you. Lover Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite, as at the dance of Mahanaim?
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?
