Abụ nke Abụ 8
1 O, a sịkwarị na ị bụ nwanne m nwoke; nke otu nne mụrụ mụ na ya m gaara esutu gị ọnụ mgbe anyị zutere nʼokporoụzọ ma ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla ga-eleda m anya.
Oh that thou werest as my brother that sucked the brestes of my mother: I would finde thee without, I would kisse thee, then they should not despise thee.
2 Agaara m akpọrọ gị baa nʼụlọ nne m, ka ị nọdụ nʼebe ahụ, nʼụlọ onye ziri m ihe. Agaara m enye gị mmanya e tinyere ihe na-esi isi ụtọ, mmanya ụtọ nke pomegranet.
I will leade thee and bring thee into my mothers house: there thou shalt teache me: and I will cause thee to drinke spiced wine, and newe wine of the pomegranate.
3 Aka ekpe ya dị nʼokpuru isi m, aka nri ya na-ejikụ m.
His left hand shalbe vnder mine head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
4 Unu ụmụ agbọghọ Jerusalem, ana m agba unu iyi, unu agaghị akpọte maọbụ mee ka ịhụnanya teta tupu ruo mgbe ọ masịrị ya.
I charge you, O daughters of Ierusale, that you stir not vp, nor waken my loue, vntil she please.
5 Onye bụ onye a si nʼọzara na-abịa, onye na-adabere nʼahụ onye ọ hụrụ nʼanya. Onye a hụrụ nʼanya Nʼokpuru osisi apụl ka m kpọtere gị; nʼebe ahụ ka nne gị tụrụ ime gị; nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ mụọ gị.
(Who is this that commeth vp out of the wildernesse, leaning vpon her welbeloued?) I raysed thee vp vnder an apple tree: there thy mother conceiued thee: there she coceiued that bare thee.
6 Tụkwasị m dịka mgbaaka ihe a kara nʼobi, dịka mgbaaka ihe a kara nʼaka gị nʼihi na ịhụnanya dị ike dịka ọnwụ, ekworo ya dịkwa ike dịka ala mmụọ. Ọ na-enwupụtakwa dịka ọkụ na-ere ere, dịka ọkụ nke dị ukwu. (Sheol h7585)
Set mee as a seale on thine heart, and as a signet vpon thine arme: for loue is strong as death: ielousie is cruel as the graue: the coles thereof are fierie coles, and a vehement flame. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ọtụtụ mmiri apụghị imenyụ ịhụnanya, osimiri niile enwekwaghị ike iri ya. Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ga-enye akụ niile nke ụlọ ya nʼihi ịhụnanya, a ga-eleda ya anya nke ukwuu.
Much water can not quench loue, neither can the floods drowne it: If a man should giue all the substance of his house for loue, they would greatly contemne it.
8 Anyị nwekwara otu nwanne nwanyị nta ma ọ kpụbeghị ara. Gịnị ka anyị ga-emere nwanne anyị nwanyị, nʼụbọchị a ga-abịa ịlụ ya?
Wee haue a litle sister, and she hath no breastes: what shall we do for our sister when she shalbe spoken for?
9 Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ mgbidi, anyị ga-ewukwasị ụlọ elu ọlaọcha nʼelu ya; ma ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ ọnụ ụzọ, anyị ga-eji ibo e ji osisi sida wuo mechie ya, ichebe ya.
If shee be a wall, we will builde vpon her a siluer palace: and if she be a doore, we wil keepe her in with bordes of cedar.
10 Abụ m mgbidi, ara m abụọ guzokwa dịka ụlọ elu. Otu a ka m siri dị nʼanya ya dịka onye na-ewetara ya afọ ojuju.
I am a wall, and my breasts are as towres: then was I in his eyes as one that findeth peace.
11 Solomọn nwere ubi vaịnị na Baal-Hamon, o nyefere ubi vaịnị ya nʼaka ndị ọrụ nlekọta. Onye ọbụla nʼime ha ga-eweta puku shekel ọlaọcha maka mkpụrụ ọ na-amịta.
Salomon had a vine in Baal-hamon: hee gaue the vineyarde vnto keepers: euery one bringeth for ye fruite thereof a thousand pieces of siluer.
12 Ma ubi vaịnị m bụ nke aka m. Ana m enye ya onye m chọrọ inye. Puku ọlaọcha bụ nke Solomọn, ndị ọrụ ubi ga-enwetakwa narị ọlaọcha abụọ.
But my vineyarde which is mine, is before me: to thee, O Salomon appertaineth a thousand pieces of siluer, and two hundreth to them that keepe the fruite thereof.
13 Gị onye bi nʼubi a gbara ogige, gị na ndị enyi gị, kwere ka m nụ olu gị.
O thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken vnto thy voyce: cause me to heare it.
14 Soro m ka anyị pụọ, onye m hụrụ nʼanya, bịakwute m dịka mgbada, maọbụ dịka nwa ele na-awụgharị nʼelu ugwu ebe ụda dị iche iche na-esi isi ụtọ jupụtara.
O my welbeloued, flee away, and be like vnto the roe, or to the yong harte vpon ye mountaines of spices.
