Waƙar Waƙoƙi 3
1 Dare farai a kan gadona na nemi wanda zuciyata take ƙauna; na neme shi amma ban same shi ba.
By night on my bed I was looking for him who is the love of my soul: I was looking for him, but I did not see him.
2 Zan tashi yanzu in zagaya gari, in ratsa titunansa da dandalinsa; zan nemi wanda zuciyata take ƙauna. Saboda haka na neme shi, amma ban same shi ba.
I will get up now and go about the town, in the streets and in the wide ways I will go after him who is the love of my soul: I went after him, but I did not see him.
3 Masu tsaro suka gamu da ni yayinda suke kai kawo a cikin birni, sai na ce, “Kun ga mini wanda zuciyata take ƙauna?”
The watchmen who go about the town came by me; to them I said, Have you seen him who is my heart's desire?
4 Rabuwata da su ke nan sai na sami wanda zuciyata take ƙauna. Na riƙe shi, ban yarda yă tafi ba sai da na kawo shi gidan mahaifiyata, zuwa ɗakin wadda ta yi cikina.
I was but a little way from them, when I came face to face with him who is the love of my soul. I took him by the hands, and did not let him go, till I had taken him into my mother's house, and into the room of her who gave me birth.
5 ’Yan matan Urushalima, ku yi mini alkawari da bareyi da ƙishimai na jeji. Ba za ku tā da ko ku farka ƙauna ba sai haka ya zama lalle.
I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, let not love be moved till it is ready.
6 Wane ne wannan mai zuwa daga hamada kamar tunnuƙewar hayaƙi, cike da ƙanshin turaren mur da lubban da aka yi da kayan yajin’yan kasuwa?
Who is this coming out of the waste places like pillars of smoke, perfumed with sweet spices, with all the spices of the trader?
7 Duba! Abin ɗaukar Solomon ne, jarumawa sittin suke rakiya, zaɓaɓɓun sojojin Isra’ila,
See, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty men of war are about it, of the army of Israel,
8 dukansu suna saye da takobi dukansu ƙwararru ne a yaƙi, kowanne da takobinsa a rataye a gefensa, a shirye don abubuwan bantsoro na dare.
All of them armed with swords, trained in war; every man has his sword at his side, because of fear in the night.
9 Sarki Solomon ya yi wa kansa abin ɗauka; ya yi shi da katako daga Lebanon.
King Solomon made himself a bed of the wood of Lebanon.
10 An yi sandunansa da azurfa, aka yi ƙasarsa da zinariya. An lulluɓe wurin zaman da zanen shunayya,’yan matan Urushalima sun yi mata irin yayen da ake yi na ƙauna.
He made its pillars of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple, the middle of it of ebony.
11 Fito, ku’yan matan Sihiyona, ku ga Sarki Solomon yana saye da rawani, rawanin da mahaifiyarsa ta naɗa masa, a ranar aurensa, a ranar da zuciyarsa ta yi farin ciki.
Go out, O daughters of Jerusalem, and see King Solomon, with the crown which his mother put on his head on the day when he was married, and on the day of the joy of his heart.
