Wimbo wa Sulemani 1
1 Wimbo ulio bora wa Solomoni.
2 Unibusu kwa busu la kinywa chako, kwa maana upendo wako unafurahisha kuliko divai.
Kisse he me with the cos of his mouth. For thi tetis ben betere than wyn,
3 Manukato yako yananukia vizuri, jina lako ni kama manukato yaliyomiminwa. Ndiyo sababu wanawali wanakupenda!
and yyuen odour with beste oynementis. Thi name is oile sched out; therfor yonge damesels loueden thee.
4 Nichukue twende nawe, na tufanye haraka! Mfalme na anilete ndani ya vyumba vyake. Marafiki Tunakushangilia na kukufurahia, tutasifu upendo wako zaidi kuliko divai. Mpendwa Tazama jinsi ilivyo bora wakupende!
Drawe thou me after thee; we schulen renne in to the odour of thin oynementis. The kyng ledde me in to hise celeris; we myndeful of thi teetis aboue wyn, schulen make ful out ioye, and schulen be glad in thee; riytful men louen thee.
5 Mimi ni mweusi, lakini napendeza, enyi binti za Yerusalemu, mweusi kama mahema ya Kedari, kama mapazia ya hema la Solomoni.
Ye douytris of Jerusalem, Y am blak, but fair, as the tabernaclis of Cedar, as the skynnes of Salomon.
6 Usinikazie macho kwa sababu mimi ni mweusi, kwa sababu nimefanywa mweusi na jua. Wana wa mama yangu walinikasirikia na kunifanya niwe mtunza mashamba ya mizabibu. Shamba langu mwenyewe la mizabibu nimeliacha.
Nyle ye biholde me, that Y am blak, for the sunne hath discolourid me; the sones of my modir fouyten ayens me, thei settiden me a kepere in vyners; Y kepte not my vyner.
7 Niambie, wewe ambaye ninakupenda, unalisha wapi kundi lako la kondoo na ni wapi unapowapumzisha kondoo wako adhuhuri. Kwa nini niwe kama mwanamke aliyefunikwa shela karibu na makundi ya rafiki zako?
Thou spouse, whom my soule loueth, schewe to me, where thou lesewist, where thou restist in myddai; lest Y bigynne to wandre, aftir the flockis of thi felowis.
8 Kama hujui, ewe mwanamke mzuri kuliko wote, fuata nyayo za kondoo, na kulisha wana-mbuzi wako karibu na hema za wachungaji.
A! thou fairest among wymmen, if thou knowist not thi silf, go thou out, and go forth aftir the steppis of thi flockis; and feede thi kidis, bisidis the tabernaclis of scheepherdis.
9 Mpenzi wangu, ninakufananisha na farasi jike aliyefungwa katika mojawapo ya magari ya vita ya Farao.
Mi frendesse, Y licnede thee to myn oost of knyytis in the charis of Farao.
10 Mashavu yako yanapendeza yakiwa na vipuli, shingo yako ikiwa na mikufu ya vito.
Thi chekis ben feire, as of a turtle; thi necke is as brochis.
11 Tutakufanyia vipuli vya dhahabu, vyenye kupambwa kwa fedha.
We schulen make to thee goldun ournementis, departid and maad dyuerse with silver.
12 Wakati mfalme alipokuwa mezani pake, manukato yangu yalisambaza harufu yake nzuri.
Whanne the kyng was in his restyng place, my narde yaf his odour.
13 Mpenzi wangu kwangu mimi ni kifuko cha manemane kati ya matiti yangu.
My derlyng is a bundel of myrre to me; he schal dwelle bitwixe my tetis.
14 Mpenzi wangu kwangu mimi ni kama kishada cha maua ya mhina kutoka mashamba ya mizabibu ya En-Gedi.
My derlyng is to me a cluster of cipre tre, among the vyneres of Engaddi.
15 Tazama jinsi ulivyo mzuri, mpenzi wangu! Tazama jinsi ulivyo mzuri! Macho yako ni kama ya hua.
Lo! my frendesse, thou art fair; lo! thou art fair, thin iyen ben the iyen of culueris.
16 Tazama jinsi ulivyo mzuri, mpenzi wangu! Ee, tazama jinsi unavyopendeza! Na kitanda chetu ni cha majani mazuri.
Lo, my derling, thou art fair, and schapli; oure bed is fair as flouris.
17 Nguzo za nyumba yetu ni mierezi, na mapao yetu ni miberoshi.
The trees of oure housis ben of cedre; oure couplis ben of cipresse.
