Wimbo wa Sulemani 5
1 Nimekuja kwenye bustani yangu, dada yangu, bibi arusi wangu; nimekusanya manemane yangu pamoja na kikolezo changu. Nimekula sega langu la asali na asali yangu; nimekunywa divai yangu na maziwa yangu. Marafiki Kuleni, enyi marafiki, mnywe; kunyweni ya kutosha, ee wapenzi.
I have come to garden my O sister my bride I have gathered myrrh my with spice my I have eaten honeycomb my with honey my I have drunk wine my with milk my eat O friends drink and become drunk O lovers.
2 Nililala lakini moyo wangu ulikuwa macho. Sikiliza! Mpenzi wangu anabisha: “Nifungulie, dada yangu, mpenzi wangu, hua wangu, asiye na hitilafu. Kichwa changu kimeloa umande, na nywele zangu manyunyu ya usiku.”
I [was] sleeping and heart my [was] awake [the] sound of - lover my knocking open to me O sister my friend my dove my perfect [one] my that head my [is] filled dew locks my dewdrops of night.
3 Nimevua joho langu: je, ni lazima nivae tena? Nimenawa miguu yangu: je, ni lazima niichafue tena?
I have taken off tunic my how? will I put on it I have washed feet my how? will I dirty them.
4 Mpenzi wangu aliweka mkono wake kwenye tundu la komeo; moyo wangu ulianza kugonga kwa ajili yake.
Lover my he sent hand his from the hole and inward parts my they were turbulent on him.
5 Niliinuka kumfungulia mpenzi wangu, mikono yangu ikidondosha manemane, vidole vyangu vikitiririka manemane, penye vipini vya komeo.
I arose I to open to lover my and hands my they dripped myrrh and fingers my myrrh flowing on [the] handles of the bolt.
6 Nilimfungulia mpenzi wangu, lakini mpenzi wangu alishaondoka; alikuwa amekwenda zake. Moyo wangu ulishuka kwa kuondoka kwake. Nilimtafuta lakini sikumpata. Nilimwita lakini hakunijibu.
I opened I to lover my and lover my he had turned away he had passed away being my it went out when turned aside he I sought him and not I found him I called him and not he answered me.
7 Walinzi walinikuta walipokuwa wakifanya zamu za ulinzi mjini. Walinipiga, wakanijeruhi, wakaninyangʼanya joho langu, hao walinzi wa kuta!
They found me the watchmen who go around in the city they struck me they bruised me they lifted garment my from on me [the] watchmen of the walls.
8 Enyi binti za Yerusalemu, ninawaagiza: kama mkimpata mpenzi wangu, mtamwambia nini? Mwambieni ninazimia kwa mapenzi.
I adjure you O daughters of Jerusalem if you will find lover my what? will you tell to him that [am] weak of love I.
9 Je, mpendwa wako ni bora kuliko wengine namna gani, wewe uliye mzuri kupita wanawake wote? Je, mpendwa wako ni mzuri kuliko wengine, namna gani, hata unatuagiza hivyo?
How [is]? lover your more than a lover O beautiful [one] among women how? [is] lover your more than a lover that thus you have adjured us.
10 Mpenzi wangu anangʼaa, tena ni mwekundu, wa kuvutia miongoni mwa wanaume kumi elfu.
Lover my [is] dazzling and ruddy [is] conspicuous more than ten thousand.
11 Kichwa chake ni dhahabu safi kuliko zote, nywele zake ni za mawimbi na ni nyeusi kama kunguru.
Head his [is] gold of pure gold locks his [are] curls black like raven.
12 Macho yake ni kama ya hua kandokando ya vijito vya maji, aliyeogeshwa kwenye maziwa, yaliyopangwa kama vito vya thamani.
Eyes his [are] like doves at channels of water washing in milk sitting on fullness.
13 Mashavu yake ni kama matuta ya vikolezo yakitoa manukato. Midomo yake ni kama yungiyungi inayodondosha manemane.
Cheeks his [are] like [the] bed of spice towers of aromatic herbs lips his [are] lilies dripping myrrh flowing.
14 Mikono yake ni fimbo za dhahabu iliyopambwa kwa krisolitho. Mwili wake ni kama pembe ya ndovu iliyongʼarishwa iliyopambwa na yakuti samawi.
Hands his [are] rods of gold filled with chrysolite lower parts his [are] a plate of ivory covered sapphires.
15 Miguu yake ni nguzo za marmar zilizosimikwa katika vitako vya dhahabu safi. Sura yake ni kama Lebanoni, bora kama miti yake ya mierezi.
Legs his [are] pillars of marble founded on bases of pure gold appearance his [is] like Lebanon chosen like cedars.
16 Kinywa chake chenyewe ni utamu, kwa ujumla yeye ni wa kupendeza. Huyu ndiye mpenzi wangu, huyu ndiye rafiki yangu, ee binti za Yerusalemu.
Mouth his [is] sweetness and all of him [is] desirableness this [is] lover my and this [is] friend my O daughters of Jerusalem.
