Kanta ni Solomon 1
1 Ti Kanta dagiti Kankanta, nga inaramid ni Solomon. Kasarsarita ti balasang ti mangay-ayat kenkuana
Solomon's song of songs.
2 O agkannak koma babaen kadagiti agek ti ngiwatmo, ta nasaysayaat ti ayatmo ngem ti arak.
Kiss me, kiss me with your mouth again and again, for your love is sweeter than wine.
3 Addaan dagiti pangsapsapo a lanam iti makaparagsak nga ayamuom; maiyarig iti agay-ayus a bangbanglo ti naganmo, isu nga ayatendaka dagiti babbalasang.
I love the way you smell from the perfumed oils you use. You have quite a reputation—it spreads like spilled perfumed oil. It's not surprising that all the young women adore you!
4 Isurotnak ket agtarayta. Kasarsarita ti babai ti bagina; Impannak ti ari kadagiti siledna. Kasarsarita ti babai ti mangay-ayat kenkuana Maragsakanak; Agragsao-ak gapu kenka; palubosannak a mangrambak iti ayatmo; nasaysayaat daytoy ngem ti arak. Gagangay laeng a magustoandaka dagiti dadduma a babbai.
Take me by the hand—let's run! (The king has brought me to his bedroom.) Let's be happy together and find pleasure in your love. Your love is far better than wine! Women are right to adore you so!
5 Kasarsarita ti babai dagiti dadduma a babbai, nangisitak ngem napintasak, dakayo nga annak a babbai dagiti tattao ti Jerusalem—nangisit a kasla kadagiti tolda ti Kedar, napintas a kasla kadagiti kurtina ni Solomon.
I'm black, but I'm beautiful, women of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Saannak a matmatan gapu ta nangisitak, gapu ta pinangisitnak ti init. Kaguradak dagiti kakabsatko a lallaki; pinagaywandak kadagiti kaubasan, ngem saanko a naaywanan ti bukodko a kaubasan. Kasarsarita ti babai ti mangay-ayat kenkuana;
Don't look down on me because I'm black, because the sun has burned me. My brothers were angry with me and made me look after the vineyards, so I couldn't look after my own vineyard.
7 Ibagam kaniak, sika nga ay-ayatek, sadino ti pangipastoram ti arbanmo? Sadino ti pangipalinongam ti arbanmo iti tengnga ti aldaw? Apay a masapul a kaslaak iti maysa a tao nga agalla-alla iti asideg ti arban dagiti kakaduam? Sumungsungbat kenkuana ti mangay-ayat kenkuana
My love, please tell me where you're taking your flock. Where will you rest them at noon? For why should I have to wear a veil while looking for you among the flocks of your companions?
8 No saanmo nga ammo, kapipintasan kadagiti babbai, surotem dagiti tugot ti arbanko, ken ipastormo dagiti urbon a kaldingmo iti asideg dagiti tolda dagiti agpaspastor.
If you really don't know, you who are more beautiful than any other woman, then follow the tracks of my flock, and let your goats graze near the shepherd's tents.
9 Iyarigka, ay-ayatek, iti kabaian a kabalio manipud kadagiti kabalio ti karwahe ni Faraon.
My darling, to me you're like a mare among Pharaoh's horses that pull his chariots,
10 Nagpintas dagiti pingpingmo nga addaan kadagiti arkos, ti tingngedmo nga addaan kadagiti alahas.
Your beautiful cheeks adorned with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
11 Iyaramidankanto kadagiti balitok nga arkos nga addaan ti butonesna a pirak. Kasarsarita ti babai ti bagina
Let's make you some gold ornaments inlaid with silver.
12 Kabayatan nga agid-idda ti ari iti sofana, agayamuom ti bangbanglok a nardo.
As the king lay on his couch, my nard perfume gave off its fragrance.
13 Para kaniak, maiyarig ti ay-ayatek iti maysa a pagkargaan ti mira nga agpatnag nga agid-idda iti nagbaetan dagiti susok.
My love is like a pouch of myrrh, lying all night between my breasts.
14 Para kaniak, maiyarig ti ay-ayatek iti sangaraay dagiti sabsabong a kandaroma idiay kaubasan ti Engedi. Kasarsarita isuna iti lalaki a mangay-ayat kenkuana
My love is like a bunch of fragrant henna flowers in the vineyards of Engedi.
15 Kitaem, nagpintaska ay-ayatek; kitaem, nagpintaska; kasla kadagiti kalapati dagiti matam. Kasarsarita ti babai ti mangay-ayat kenkuana
Look at how very beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are as gentle as doves.
16 Kitaem, nagtaerka, ay-ayatek, anian a nagtaraerka. Dagiti nalangto a mulmula ti agserbi a pagiddaanta.
And you, my love, are so handsome—how charming you are! The green grass is our bed,
17 Dagiti busoran ti balayta ket sangsanga dagiti kayo a sedro, ken dagiti bobedata ket dagiti sangsanga ti aruo.
with cedar trees as beams for our “house,” and pine trees for the rafters.
