Tonon-kiran'i Solomona 1
1 Ny tonon-kira tsara indrindra, izay nataon’ i Solomona.
The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.
2 Enga anie ka hanoroka ahy amin’ ny fanorohan’ ny vavany izy! Fa tsara noho ny divay ny fitiavanao.
Oh, that he would kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, The woman speaking to the man for your love is better than wine.
3 Mani-pofona ny menakao tsara, menaka manitra voaidina ny anaranao, koa izany no itiavan’ ny zatovovavy anao.
Your anointing oils have a delightful fragrance; your name is like flowing perfume, so the young women love 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.
Take me with you, and we will run. The woman speaking to herself The king has brought me into his rooms. The woman speaking to the man We are glad; We rejoice about you; let us celebrate your love; it is better than wine. It is natural for the other women to adore 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 but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem— dark like the tents of Kedar, lovely like the 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 stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me; they made me keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard 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?
Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where do you feed your flock? Where do you rest your flock at noontime? Why should I be like someone who wanders beside the flocks 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, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of my flock, and pasture your young goats near the shepherds' tents.
9 Ry tompokovavy havako, ianao dia ampitahaiko amin’ ny soavalivaviko mitarika ny kalesin’ i Farao.
I compare you, my love, to a mare among Pharaoh's chariot horses.
10 Mahatsara ny tarehinao ireo voahangy voatohy; Manendrika ny vozonao ireo rado.
Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
11 Nefa rojo volamena misy voavola mibontsimbontsina kosa no hataonay ho anao.
We will make for you gold ornaments with silver studs.
12 Raha mipetraka amin’ ny latabany ny mpanjaka, dia mamerovero tsara ny nardako.
While the king lay on his couch, my nard emitted its fragrance.
13 Ny malalako dia miora am-pehezana madinika mandry eo an-tratrako.
My beloved is to me like a bag of myrrh that spends the night lying between my breasts.
14 Ny malalako dia tahaka ny vonin’ ny kofera amiko, any an-tanimbolin’ i En-jedy.
My beloved is to me like a cluster of henna flowers in the vineyards of En Gedi.
15 Indro, tsara tarehy ianao, ry tompokovavy havako; Indro, tsara tarehy ianao; Voromailala ny masonao.
Listen, you are beautiful, my love; listen, you are beautiful; your eyes are doves.
16 Indro, tsara tarehy ianao, ry malalako, eny, mahafinaritra; Maitso ny fandriantsika.
Listen, you are handsome, my beloved, how handsome. The lush plants are our bed.
17 Sedera ny sakamandimbin’ ny tranontsika, ary kypreso ny peta-drindrintsika.
The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs.
