Wimbo wa Sulemani 8
1 Laiti ungelikuwa kwangu kama ndugu wa kiume, ambaye aliyanyonya matiti ya mama yangu! Kisha, kama ningekukuta huko nje, ningelikubusu, wala hakuna mtu yeyote angelinidharau.
Who? will he give you like a brother to me [the] suckling-child of [the] breasts of mother my I will find you on the outside (I will kiss you *L(abh)*) also not people will despise me.
2 Ningelikuongoza na kukuleta katika nyumba ya mama yangu, yeye ambaye amenifundisha. Ningelikupa divai iliyokolezwa unywe, asali ya maua ya mikomamanga yangu.
I will lead you I will bring you to [the] house of mother my [who] she taught me I will give to drink you some of [the] wine of spice some of [the] juice of pomegranate my.
3 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.
4 Binti za Yerusalemu, ninawaagiza: msichochee wala kuamsha mapenzi hata yatakapotaka yenyewe.
I adjure you O daughters of Jerusalem why? will you awaken - and why? will you arouse love until that it will please.
5 Ni nani huyu anayekuja kutoka nyikani akimwegemea mpenzi wake? Mpendwa Nilikuamsha chini ya mtofaa, huko mama yako alipotunga mimba yako, huko yeye alipata utungu akakuzaa.
Who? this [is] coming up from the wilderness leaning herself on lover her under the apple tree I aroused you there she was in labor with you mother your there she was in labor she bore you.
6 Nitie kama muhuri moyoni mwako, kama muhuri kwenye mkono wako; kwa maana upendo una nguvu kama mauti, wivu wake ni mkatili kama kuzimu. Unachoma kama mwali wa moto, kama mwali mkubwa wa moto wa Bwana hasa. (Sheol h7585)
Put me like seal on heart your like seal on arm your for [is] strong like death love [is] severe like Sheol jealousy flashes its [are] flashes of fire a flame of [the] Lord. (Sheol h7585)
7 Maji mengi hayawezi kuuzimisha upendo, mito haiwezi kuugharikisha. Kama mtu angelitoa mali yote ya nyumbani mwake kwa ajili ya upendo, angelidharauliwa kabisa.
Waters many not they are able to extinguish love and rivers not they will overflow it if he will give anyone all [the] wealth of house his for love certainly people will despise it.
8 Tunaye dada mdogo, matiti yake hayajakua bado. Tutafanya nini kwa ajili ya dada yetu wakati atakapokuja kuposwa?
A sister [belongs] to us small and breasts not [belong] to her what? will we do for sister our on the day when it will be spoken for her.
9 Kama yeye ni ukuta, tutajenga minara ya fedha juu yake. Na kama yeye ni mlango, tutamzungushia mbao za mierezi.
If [is] a wall she we will build on her a battlement of silver and if [is] a door she we will shut up over her a board of cedar.
10 Mimi ni ukuta, nayo matiti yangu ni kama minara. Ndivyo ambavyo nimekuwa machoni pake kama yule anayeleta utoshelevu.
I [was] a wall and breasts my [are] like towers then I was in view his like [one who] finds peace.
11 Solomoni alikuwa na shamba la mizabibu huko Baal-Hamoni; alikodisha shamba lake la mizabibu kwa wapangaji. Kila mmoja angeleta kwa ajili ya matunda yake shekeli 1,000 za fedha.
A vineyard it belonged to Solomon at Baal-Hamon he gave the vineyard to [those who] keep each one he will bring for fruit its a thousand silver.
12 Lakini shamba langu la mizabibu ambalo ni langu mwenyewe ni langu kutoa; hizo shekeli 1,000 ni kwa ajili yako, ee Solomoni, na shekeli mia mbili ni kwa ajili ya wale wanaotunza matunda yake.
Vineyard my which [belongs] to me [is] before me the thousand [shekels] [belong] to you O Solomon and two hundred [shekels] [belong] to [those who] keep fruit its.
13 Wewe ukaaye bustanini pamoja na marafiki mliohudhuria, hebu nisikie sauti yako!
(O [one who] dwells *L(abh)*) in the gardens companions [are] listening for voice your cause to hear [it] me.
14 Njoo, mpenzi wangu, uwe kama swala au kama ayala kijana juu ya milima iliyojaa vikolezo.
Hasten - O lover my and be like yourself a gazelle or [the] fawn of the deer on mountains of spices.
