Tonon-kiran'i Solomona 4
1 Endrey, tsara tarehy ianao, ry tompokovavy havako! Endrey, tsara tarehy ianao! Ny masonao dia voromailala eo amin’ ny fisalobonanao; Ny volonao dia tahaka ny osy andiany, izay mandriandry eny an-kilan’ ny tendrombohitr’ i Gileada.
Behold, you are fair, my love; behold, you are fair; you have doves' eyes within your locks: your hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
2 Ny nifinao dia tahaka ny ondrivavy andiany efa voahety, izay miakatra avy eo amin’ ny fampandroana; Samy kambana avy ireo, fa tsy misy tsy mana-namana.
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
3 Tahaka ny kofehy jaky ny molotrao, ary mahafinaritra ny vavanao; Tahaka ny hasin’ ampongabendanitra ny takolakao eo amin’ ny fisalobonanao,
Your lips are like a thread of scarlet, and your speech is comely: your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within your locks.
4 Ny vozonao dia tahaka ny tilikambon’ i Davida, natao ho trano fihantonam-piadiana; Ampinga arivo no voahantona eo, dia ny ampinga rehetra an’ ny lehilahy mahery.
Your neck is like the tower of David built for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
5 Ny nononao roa dia toy ny diera kambana mbola tanora, izay homana eny amin’ ny lilia.
Your two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
6 Mandra-pangatsiatsiaky ny andro, ka efa hilentika ny masoandro, dia handeha aho ho any amin’ ny tendrombohitry ny miora sy ny havoan’ ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona.
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7 Tsara avokoa izato bikanao izato, ry tompokovavy havako; Tsy misy kilema ianao.
You are all fair, my love; there is no spot in you.
8 Hiaraka amiko avy any Libanona ianao, ry ampakariko, eny, hiaraka amiko avy any Libanona, hitazana eny an-tampon’ i Amana, eny an-tampon’ i Senira sy Hermona, eny an-davaky ny liona, eny an-tendrombohitry ny leoparda.
Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9 Efa lasanao ny foko, ry havako ampakariko, efa lasanao ny foko tamin’ ny masonao an-ila sy tamin’ ny rojo anankiray amin’ ny vozonao.
You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; you have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.
10 Akory ny hatsaran’ ny fitiavanao, ry havako ampakariko! Akory ny hatsaran’ ny fitiavanao! eny, tsara noho ny divay! Ary ny fofon’ ny menaka manitrao dia mihoatra noho ny zava-manitra rehetra!
How fair is your love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is your love than wine! and the smell of your ointments than all spices!
11 Mitete tantely toy ny avy amin’ ny tohotra ny molotrao, ry ampakariko; Tantely sy ronono no ao ambanin’ ny lelanao, ary ny fofon’ ny fitafianao dia tahaka ny fofon’ i Libanona.
Your lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under your tongue; and the smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12 Saha voahidy ny havako ampakariko, loharano voahidy, fantsakan-drano voaisy tombo-kase.
A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13 Hianao no saha anirian’ ny ampongabendanitra tsara voa, sady misy kofera sy narda,
Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
14 Eny, narda sy safrona, veromanitra sy havozomanitra sy ny hazo misy ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona rehetra. Miora sy hazo manitra Mbamin’ ny zava-manitra tsara rehetra;
Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15 Loharano ao an-tanimboly ianao, loharano miboiboika, ary renirano kely avy any Libanona.
A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
16 Mifohaza, ry rivotra avy any avaratra; avia, ry avy any atsimo, Mitsofa eny an-tsahako hielezan’ ny fofony manitra. Aoka ny malalako hankatỳ an-tanimboliny ka hihinana ny voankazony tsara.
Awake, O north wind; and come, you south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
