Wimbo wa Sulemani 2
1 Mimi ni ua la Sharoni, yungiyungi ya bondeni.
I [am] [the] crocus of Sharon lily of the valleys.
2 Kama yungiyungi katikati ya miiba ndivyo alivyo mpenzi wangu katikati ya wanawali.
Like a lily between the thorns [is] so friend my between the daughters.
3 Kama mti wa mtofaa miongoni mwa miti ya msituni ndivyo alivyo mpenzi wangu miongoni mwa wanaume vijana. Ninafurahia kuketi kivulini mwa mwanaume huyu, na tunda lake ni tamu kwangu.
Like an apple tree among [the] trees of the forest [is] so lover my between the sons in shade his I desired and I sat and fruit his [was] sweet to palate my.
4 Amenichukua mpaka kwenye ukumbi wa karamu, na bendera ya huyu mwanaume juu yangu ni upendo.
He has brought me into [the] house of wine and standard his over me [is] love.
5 Nitie nguvu kwa zabibu kavu, niburudishe kwa matofaa, kwa maana ninazimia kwa mapenzi.
Sustain me with raisin-cakes refresh me with apples for [am] weak of love I.
6 Mkono wake wa kushoto uko chini ya kichwa changu, na mkono wake wa kuume unanikumbatia.
Left [hand] his [is] under head my and right [hand] his it embraces me.
7 Binti za Yerusalemu, ninawaagiza kwa paa na kwa ayala wa shambani: Msichochee wala kuamsha mapenzi hata yatakapotaka yenyewe.
I adjure you O daughters of Jerusalem by gazelles or by [the] does of the field if you will awaken - and if you will arouse love until that it will please.
8 Sikiliza! Mpenzi wangu! Tazama! Huyu hapa anakuja, akirukaruka juu milimani akizunguka juu ya vilima.
[the] sound of Lover my there! this [is] coming [is] leaping over the mountains [is] bounding over the hills.
9 Mpenzi wangu ni kama paa au ayala kijana. Tazama! Anasimama nyuma ya ukuta wetu, akitazama kupitia madirishani, akichungulia kimiani.
[is] like Lover my a gazelle or [the] fawn of the deer there! this [is] standing behind wall our [is] gazing from the windows [is] peering from the lattices.
10 Mpenzi wangu alizungumza na kuniambia, “Inuka, mpenzi wangu, mrembo wangu, tufuatane.
He answered lover my and he said to me arise yourself O friend my beautiful [one] my and come yourself.
11 Tazama! Wakati wa masika umepita, mvua imekwisha na ikapita.
For there! (the winter *Q(K)*) it has passed the rain it has passed away it has gone itself.
12 Maua yanatokea juu ya nchi; majira ya kuimba yamewadia, sauti za njiwa zinasikika katika nchi yetu.
The blossoms they have appeared in the land [the] time of pruning it has arrived and [the] sound of the turtle-dove it has been heard in land our.
13 Mtini unatunga matunda yake ya mwanzoni, zabibu zinazochanua zaeneza harufu nzuri. Inuka, njoo mpenzi wangu. Mrembo wangu, tufuatane.”
The fig tree it has ripened early figs its and the vines - blossom they have given forth odor arise (yourself *Q(K)*) O friend my beautiful [one] my and come yourself.
14 Hua wangu penye nyufa za majabali, mafichoni pembezoni mwa mlima, nionyeshe uso wako, na niisikie sauti yako, kwa maana sauti yako ni tamu, na uso wako unapendeza.
O dove my in [the] clefts of the rock in [the] hiding place of the steep place let see me form your cause to hear me voice your for voice your [is] sweet and form your [is] lovely.
15 Tukamatie mbweha, mbweha wale wadogo wanaoharibu mashamba ya mizabibu, mashamba yetu ya mizabibu yaliyochanua.
Seize for us foxes foxes small [which] ruin vineyards and vineyards our [are] blossom.
16 Mpenzi wangu ni wangu, nami ni wake, yeye hujilisha katikati ya yungiyungi.
Lover my [belongs] to me and I [belong] to him who [is] grazing among the lilies.
17 Mpaka jua linapochomoza, na vivuli vikimbie, rudi, mpenzi wangu, na uwe kama paa, au kama ayala kijana juu ya vilima vya Betheri.
Until that will breathe the day and they will flee the shadows turn be like yourself O lover my a gazelle or [the] fawn of the deer on [the] mountains of ravine[s].
