Waƙar Waƙoƙi 8
1 Da a ce kai ɗan’uwa ne gare ni, wanda nonon mahaifiyata sun shayar! Da in na same ka a waje, na sumbace ka, babu wanda zai rena ni.
O that you were to me like a brother who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.
2 Da sai in bi da kai in kawo ka gidan mahaifiyata, ita da ta koyar da ni. Da na ba ka ruwan inabi gaurayayye da kayan yaji ka sha, zaƙin rumman nawa.
I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.
3 Hannunsa na hagu yana a ƙarƙashin kaina, hannunsa na dama kuma ya rungume ni.
His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
4 ’Yan matan Urushalima, ku yi mini alkawari. Ba za ku tā da ko ku farka ƙauna ba sai haka ya zama lalle.
O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
5 Wace ce wannan da take haurawa daga hamada tana dogara a kan ƙaunataccenta? Ƙaunatacciya A ƙarƙashin itacen gawasa na farkar da ke, a wurin da aka haife ki, wurin da mahaifiyarki ta haife ki.
Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.
6 Ka sa ni kamar hatimi a zuciyarka, kamar hatimi a hannunka; gama ƙauna tana da ƙarfi kamar mutuwa, kishinta yana kamar muguntar kabari, yana ƙuna kamar wuta mai ci, kamar gagarumar wuta. (Sheol h7585)
Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ruwa da yawa ba zai iya kashe ƙauna ba, koguna ba za su iya kwashe ta ba. In wani zai bayar da dukan dukiyar gidansa don ƙauna, za a yi masa dariya ne kawai.
Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.
8 Muna da ƙanuwa, nonanta ba su riga sun yi girma ba. Me za mu yi da ƙanuwarmu a ranar da za a yi maganar sonta?
We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?
9 Da a ce ita katanga ce, da sai mu gina hasumiyar azurfa a kanta. Da a ce ita ƙofa ce, da sai mun yi mata ƙyauren itacen al’ul.
If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver upon her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
10 Ni katanga ce kuma nonaina sun yi kamar hasumiya. Ta haka na zama idanunsa kamar wanda yake kawo gamsuwa.
I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.
11 Solomon ya kasance da gonar inabi a Ba’al-Hamon; ya ba da hayar gonar inabi ga’yan haya. Kowanne zai biya shekel dubu na azurfa don’ya’yan inabin.
Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.
12 Amma gonar inabina nawa ne da zan bayar; shekel dubu naka ne, ya Solomon, kuma ɗari biyu na waɗanda suke lura da’ya’yan itatuwansa ne.
But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.
13 Ke da kike zaune a cikin lambu da ƙawaye suna lura da ke, bari in ji muryarki!
You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!
14 Ka zo, ƙaunataccena, ka zama kamar barewa ko kuwa kamar’yar batsiya a kan dutsen da kayan yaji suke a shimfiɗe.
Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
