Soromoni' 3

1 Maka kenagera tafeni'are mase'nena, navesima nentoa ne'mofonkura tusiza hu'na antahintahia nehu'na, ava'nafina agrikura hakena vano hu'noanagi onke'noe.

One night when I was lying in bed, I longed for the one I love. I longed for him, but he was nowhere to be found.

2 Anama onke'na amanage hu'na hu'noe, menina oti'na rankumapine neone kampi vano nehu'na, nagu'aretima hu'na navesima nentoa ne'mofonkura hakena vano hugahue. Anage nehu'na otina hakena vano hu'noanagi onke'noe.

So I said to myself, “I will get up now and go through the city, looking in its streets and squares for the one I love.” I looked for him but I didn't find him.

3 Anante kumama kegava hu'za vanoma nehaza vahe'mo'za eme nage'za eri fore hazage'na, navesima nentoa nera ke'nazo hu'na zamantahige'noe.

The watchmen found me as they went through the city. “Have you seen the one I love?” I asked them.

4 Kuma'ma kegavama nehaza vahetmima zamagate'ma nere'na, nagu'areti'ma hu'na navesi navesima nehua nera ome ke'na erifore hutena, ome agazafe'na anukinena avre'na nenrera nontega vu'na agrama amu'enema huno kasenante'nefinka vu'noe.

Only a little farther on after I'd passed them I found my love! I held him close and would not let him go until I'd brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me.

5 Vemo'a huno, Jerusalemi mofaneramimota gazeliema nehaza afu'ene, afi diamo'ma nehia zante tamagesa nentahita, navesizana azeri ora otigosune huta huvempa hunenkeno vuno kna fatgore vino.

Women of Jerusalem, swear to me by the gazelles or the wild deer that you won't disturb our love until the right time.

6 E'i iza ka'ma kopintira kumo'ma rentikenoma eaza huno kumagumagu huno ne-e? Hagi merema nehaza mna zane, frenkinsensie nehaza mna zane maka mnanentake zama feno vahe'mo'zama zagore'ma netrazankna'ma nehiana iza'e?

Who is this coming in from the wilderness like a plume of smoke, like a burning sacrifice scented with myrrh and frankincense, with all kinds of imported perfumed powders?

7 E'i Solomoninki'za, mase tafe'are mani'nege'za zamafunte zafa hu'za neazageno Israeli vahepima ugagotama hu'naza harafa sondia vahera, 60'a vahe'mo'za azeri amu'nompi ante'za avre'za neaze.

Look, it's Solomon's sedan chair, accompanied by sixty of Israel's best warriors.

8 Ana maka vahe'mo'za bainati kazinteti'ma ha'ma hu'arera vugota hunazanki'za, ha'ma hu'zana antahikasi'naze. Ha' vahe'mo'zama kini ne'ma kenage'ma eme ahe'zanku'ma kegava hunentaza vaheki'za mago magomo'za bainati kazina zamote anaki tragotetere hu'naze.

All of them are expert swordsmen who have battle experience. They each carry a sword strapped to the thigh, ready for any night-time attacks.

9 Hanki Lebanoni mopafinti'ma eri'za e'naza zafanu kini ne' Solomoni'ma manisia trara tro hu'naze.

(Solomon's sedan chair was made for him with wood from Lebanon.

10 Ana sesenkumofo noma antesgama hu zafa Silvareti tro nehu'za, amagenama ante kaziga golireti eri fagaginente'za, fitunke tavravereti tafera masinte'naze. Jerusalemi mofanemo'za ana konararia tro huntenazankino, tusiza hu'za ana konararigura zamavesinte'naze.

Its posts were covered in silver, and the back was covered in gold. The seat cushion was purple. The interior was lovingly decorated.) Women of Jerusalem,

11 Atiramita kini ne' Solomonina eme keho. A'ma masimigeno tusi musema hia knare'ma, nerera'ma ami'nea kini fetori antanino ne-e.

come out! Look, women of Zion! See King Solomon wearing the crown that his mother placed on his head on his wedding day, his happiest day.
