Tonon-kiran'i Solomona 3
1 Teo am-pandriako nony alina dia mazàna nitady ilay tian’ ny fanahiko aho; Nitady azy aho, fa tsy nahita azy.
In my bed by night I sought him that my soule loued: I sought him, but I found him not.
2 Dia hoy izaho: Hifoha aho ka handehandeha eo an-tanàna, dia eny an-dalambe sy eny an-kalalahana, hitady ilay tian’ ny fanahiko eny, nitady azy aho, nefa tsy nahita azy.
I will rise therefore nowe, and goe about in the citie, by the streetes and by the open places, and wil seeke him that my soule loueth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3 Hitan’ ny antily izay mandehandeha eny an-tanàna aho; Dia hoy izaho: Sao mba hitanareo lahy ilay tian’ ny fanahiko iny?
The watchmen that went about the citie, found mee: to whome I said, Haue you seene him, whome my soule loueth?
4 Nony vao nandalo ireo vetivety foana aho, dia hitako ilay tian’ ny fanahiko, ka nohazoniko izy, fa tsy navelako handeha, mandra-pitondrako azy ho any an-tranon’ ineny, dia any amin’ ny efi-tranon’ ilay niteraka ahy.
When I had past a litle from them, then I found him whom my soule loued: I tooke holde on him and left him not, till I had brought him vnto my mothers house into the chamber of her that conceiued me.
5 Mampianiana anareo amin’ ny gazela na amin’ ny dieravavy any an-tsaha aho, ry zanakavavin’ i Jerosalema; Aza manaitra na mamoha ny fitiavana, raha tsy efa sitrapony.
I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, by the roes and by the hindes of the fielde, that ye stirre not vp, nor waken my loue vntill she please.
6 Iza moa iry vehivavy miakatra avy any an-efitra, tahaka ny setroka mitankosina, sady tsara fofona amin’ ny miora sy ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona mbamin’ ny vovoka manitra samy hafa entin’ ny mpandranto?
Who is shee that commeth vp out of the wildernes like pillars of smoke perfumed with myrrhe and incense, and with all the spices of the marchant?
7 Indro ny filanjan’ i Solomona! Lehilahy enim-polo, mahery avokoa, avy amin’ ny lehilahy mahery amin’ ny Isiraely, no manotrona azy.
Beholde his bed, which is Salomons: threescore strong men are round about it, of the valiant men of Israel.
8 An-tsabatra avokoa izy rehetra sady mahay miady, samy mitondra ny sabany eo am-balahany avy noho ny tahotra amin’ ny alina.
They all handle the sworde, and are expert in warre, euery one hath his sword vpon his thigh for the feare by night.
9 Nanao filanjana ho azy Solomona mpanjaka tamin’ ny hazo avy any Libanona:
King Salomon made himselfe a palace of the trees of Lebanon.
10 Volafotsy no nataony andriny, ary volamena ny fiankinana, volomparasy ny ondany, ny ao anatiny voaravaka amin’ ny fanomezam-pitiavana avy tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Jerosalema.
Hee made the pillars thereof of siluer, and the pauement thereof of gold, the hangings thereof of purple, whose middes was paued with the loue of the daughters of Ierusalem.
11 Mivoaha, ry zanakavavin’ i Ziona, ka mijere an’ i Solomona mpanjaka, misatroka ilay satro-boninahitra nasatro-dreniny azy tamin’ ny andro nampakarany vady, dia tamin’ ny andro nifalian’ ny fony.
Come forth, ye daughters of Zion, and behold the King Salomon with the crowne, wherewith his mother crowned him in ye day of his mariage, and in the day of the gladnes of his heart.
