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.
Oh that some one would make thee as my brother that hath sucked my mother's breasts! should I then find thee without, I would kiss thee; and yet, people would not 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 thee, I would bring thee into my mother's house, thou shouldst teach me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, of the sweet juice of my pomegranate.
3 Hannunsa na hagu yana a ƙarƙashin kaina, hannunsa na dama kuma ya rungume ni.
Oh that his left hand might be under my head, and that his right hand might embrace me.
4 ’Yan matan Urushalima, ku yi mini alkawari. Ba za ku tā da ko ku farka ƙauna ba sai haka ya zama lalle.
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, why will ye awaken, and why will ye excite my love, until it please [to come of itself]?—
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 that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her friend?—Under the apple-tree have I waked thee up; there thy mother brought thee forth; there brought thee forth she that bore thee.
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 upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm; for strong as death is love; violent like the nether world is jealousy; its heat is the heat of fire, a flame of God. (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.
Many waters are not able to quench love, nor can the rivers flood it away: if a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, men would utterly despise him.—
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 she hath yet no breasts: what shall we do for our sister on the day when she shall be 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 be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards 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: then was I in his eyes as one that found favor.
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 at Ba'al-hamon; he had given up the vineyard unto the keepers; every one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces 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.
My vineyard, which was mine, was before me: thine, O Solomon, be the thousand, and let two hundred be for those that keep its fruit.—
13 Ke da kike zaune a cikin lambu da ƙawaye suna lura da ke, bari in ji muryarki!
“Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions listen for thy voice: oh 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.
Flee away, my friend, and be thou like the roebuck, or the fawn of the hinds, upon the mountain of spices.
