Soromoni' 8

1 Nenrera amima nenka ra hunka nagri nensarogama mani'nantesina, knare hisine. Na'ankure vahe'mo'za nenagazage'na korora osu, amne kagira antako nehuge'za mago kea osazasine.

Oh that you were my brother, who took milk from my mother's breasts! When I came to you in the street, I would give you kisses; yes, I would not be looked down on.

2 Nagra kavre'na rempima hunami'nea a' nenrera nompinka vusine. Haganentake mnazanteti eri havia hu'nea waini tina kamugenka nenanke'na, haganentake pomigreneti tinena kamugenka nasine.

I would take you by the hand into my mother's house, and she would be my teacher. I would give you drink of spiced wine, drink of the pomegranate.

3 Hoga kazanu naseni fitara ante harage hunenka, tamaga kazanu nanuki fanki hasine.

His left hand would be under my head, and his right hand about me.

4 Jerusalemi kumate a'nemota veamo'ma aravema hu antahintahia tazeri o'otinenunkeno kna fatgo'are egahie huta huvempa hiho.

I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

5 Ina mofamo ka'ma kokana atreno ne-eno, avesima nentea ne'mofo asumpina maserino ne-e? Mofamo'a huno, Negrera'ma atagu'ma nehuno kasegante'nea epoli zafa agafafima mani'nankena kavufga kazeri oti'noe.

Who is this, who comes up from the waste places, resting on her loved one? It was I who made you awake under the apple-tree, where your mother gave you birth; there she was in pain at your birth.

6 Taferomofo avaza'a erigiankna hunka, tumoka'amofo agofetu navrenentenka asama nehiaza hunka kazampasanafina nagrike navrento. Na'ankure navesizamofo hankanavemo'a frizamofo hankavemo'ma hiaza huno tusi hankanaveti'ne. Navesizamo'a tusi hankanavetino matipima vahe'ma asenenteankna hu'ne. Navesizamo'a teve anefamo'ma hagana hagana'ma hiaza huno hagana hagana huno marenerie. (Sheol h7585)

Put me as a sign on your heart, as a sign on your arm; love is strong as death, and wrath bitter as the underworld: its coals are coals of fire; violent are its flames. (Sheol h7585)

7 Avesizamofo tevea rama'a timo'a resura osuge, tima hageno esia timo'a avesizana erino vugara osu'ne. Hagi mago ne'mo'ma avesizama mika zago fenonteti'ma tesi'zama hanige'za, vahe'mo'za tusi kiza zokago ke huntegahaze.

Much water may not put out love, or the deep waters overcome it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be judged a price not great enough.

8 Nerasaro'a osi mofa mani'negeno, amima'amo'a oharage'ne. Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'zama a' erintegahune hu'zama hanageta, tagra nerasarona na'a huntegahune?

We have a young sister, and she has no breasts; what are we to do for our sister in the day when she is given to a man?

9 Hagi nersaro'ma kuma keginagna'ma huno maniresina, ana kegina agofetura silvareti zaza nona kita manineta kegava huntosine. Hagi agrama kafama maniresina, tagra sida zafagna huneta, kahantera ahekanirentosine.

If she is a wall, we will make on her a strong base of silver; and if she is a door, we will let her be shut up with cedar-wood.

10 Nagra kuma keginagna hu'nogeno, amini'amo'a za'za nonkna hu'ne. Hagi navesimanentoa ne'mo'a agrama nenageno'a tusiza huno ananke nakrura nehuno avesinante'ne.

I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers; then was I in his eyes as one to whom good chance had come.

11 Solomoni'a Ba'al-hamoni kumatera waini hoza ante'neanagi, ana waini hoza vahe'mo'za kegava hu'naze. Hagi ana hozama kegavama hu'neza zagoma troma nehaza vahe'mo'za hozama ante'za zafa rgama tagiza nona'a 1tauseni'a silva zago eme amitere hu'naze.

Solomon had a vine-garden at Baal-hamon; he let out the vine-garden to keepers; every one had to give a thousand bits of silver for its fruit.

12 Hianagi nagri waini hoza nagri su'ankina amigahuankino, Solomoni'a 1tausenia silva zagoa miza osegahie. Hianagi 200'a sekeli zagoreti hozama kegavama nehaza vahera mizana zamigahue.

My vine-garden, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, will have the thousand, and those who keep the fruit of them two hundred.

13 Hozafima mani'namoka, nagrane nemaniza vahe'mo'za kagri kagerukura zamagesa ante'za nentahize. Hagi natrege'na kagerura antahi'neno.

You who have your resting-place in the gardens, the friends give ear to your voice; make me give ear to it.

14 Navesima negantomoka gezeriema nehaza afi ve dia afumo'ma nehiaza nehunka, kasefa afi ve dia afumo'ma mananentake zama me'nea agonaramimpima vanoma nehiaza hunka ame hunka nagritega eno.

Come quickly, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of spice.
