Tonon-kiran'i Solomona 1
1 Ny tonon-kira tsara indrindra, izay nataon’ i Solomona.
The Song of Songs, that [is] of Solomon.
2 Enga anie ka hanoroka ahy amin’ ny fanorohan’ ny vavany izy! Fa tsara noho ny divay ny fitiavanao.
Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth, For better [are] your loves than wine.
3 Mani-pofona ny menakao tsara, menaka manitra voaidina ny anaranao, koa izany no itiavan’ ny zatovovavy anao.
For fragrance [are] your good perfumes. Perfume emptied out—your name, Therefore have virgins loved you!
4 Taomy aho, dia hihazakazaka hanaraka anao izahay; Nentin’ ny mpanjaka ho ao an-efi-tranony aho. Hifaly sy hiravoravo aminao izahay; Hankalazainay mihoatra noho ny divay ny fitiavanao; Fitiavana marina no itiavany anao.
Draw me: we run after you, The king has brought me into his inner chambers, We delight and rejoice in you, We mention your loves more than wine, Uprightly they have loved you!
5 Mivalomainty aho, nefa tsara tarehy, ry zanakavavin’ i Jerosalema, toy ny lain’ i Kedara, toy ny ambain-dain’ i Solomona.
I [am] dark and lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, as tents of Kedar, as curtains of Solomon.
6 Aza mibanjina ahy, fa mivalomainty aho, satria efa azon’ ny hainandro; Tezitra tamiko ny zanak’ ineny; Notendreny ho mpiandry ny tanim-boalobony aho; Nefa ny tanim-boaloboko kosa, dia ny an’ ny tenako, tsy mba nandrasako.
Do not fear me, because I [am] very dark, Because the sun has scorched me, The sons of my mother were angry with me, They made me keeper of the vineyards, My vineyard—my own—I have not kept.
7 Lazao amiko, ry ilay tian’ ny fanahiko, izay iandrasanao ny ondrinao, sy izay ampandrianao azy raha antoandro; Fa nahoana no ho tahaka izay mivezivezy foana aho Eny amin’ ny andian’ ny namanao?
Declare to me, you whom my soul has loved, Where you delight, Where you lie down at noon, For why am I as one veiled, By the ranks of your companions?
8 Raha tsy fantatrao, ry tsara tarehy indrindra amin’ ny vehivavy, dia mandehana hanaraka ny andian’ ny ondry aman’ osy, ary andraso eny amin’ ny lain’ ny mpiandry ondry ny zanak’ osinao.
If you do not know, O beautiful among women, Go forth by the traces of the flock, And feed your kids by the shepherds’ dwellings!
9 Ry tompokovavy havako, ianao dia ampitahaiko amin’ ny soavalivaviko mitarika ny kalesin’ i Farao.
To my joyous one in chariots of Pharaoh, I have compared you, my friend,
10 Mahatsara ny tarehinao ireo voahangy voatohy; Manendrika ny vozonao ireo rado.
Your cheeks have been lovely with garlands, your neck with chains.
11 Nefa rojo volamena misy voavola mibontsimbontsina kosa no hataonay ho anao.
We make garlands of gold for you, with studs of silver!
12 Raha mipetraka amin’ ny latabany ny mpanjaka, dia mamerovero tsara ny nardako.
While the king [is] in his circle, My spikenard has given its fragrance.
13 Ny malalako dia miora am-pehezana madinika mandry eo an-tratrako.
A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me, Between my breasts it lodges.
14 Ny malalako dia tahaka ny vonin’ ny kofera amiko, any an-tanimbolin’ i En-jedy.
A cluster of cypress [is] my beloved to me, In the vineyards of En-Gedi!
15 Indro, tsara tarehy ianao, ry tompokovavy havako; Indro, tsara tarehy ianao; Voromailala ny masonao.
Behold, you [are] beautiful, my friend, Behold, you [are] beautiful, your eyes [are] doves!
16 Indro, tsara tarehy ianao, ry malalako, eny, mahafinaritra; Maitso ny fandriantsika.
Behold, you [are] beautiful, my love, indeed, pleasant, Indeed, our bed [is] green,
17 Sedera ny sakamandimbin’ ny tranontsika, ary kypreso ny peta-drindrintsika.
The beams of our houses [are] cedars, Our rafters [are] firs, I [am] a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys!
