< Wimbo wa Sulemani 2 >
1 Mimi ni ua katika tambarare, nyinyoro katika bonde. Mwanaume akizungumza naye
I crocus [the] Sharon lily [the] valley
2 Kama nyinyoro miongoni mwa mimba, ndivyo wewe, mpenzi wangu, miongoni mwa mabinti wengine wote. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe
like/as lily between: among [the] thistle so darling my between: among [the] daughter
3 Kama mti wa mpera ulivyo miongoni mwa miti ya misituni, ndivyo mpenzi wangu alivyo miongoni mwa wanaume. Nina kaa chini ya kivuli chake kwa furaha sana, na tunda lake ni tamu kwa ladha yangu.
like/as apple in/on/with tree [the] wood so beloved my between: among [the] son: descendant/people in/on/with shadow his to desire and to dwell and fruit his sweet to/for palate my
4 Amenileta kwenye ukumbi wa maakuli, na bendera yake juu yangu ilikuwa upendo. Mwanamke akizungumza na mpenzi wake.
to come (in): bring me to(wards) house: home [the] wine and standard his upon me love
5 Ni uishe kwa keki za mizabibu na kuniuisha na mapera, kwa kuwa nimedhohofika na mapenzi. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe
to support me in/on/with raisin bun to spread me in/on/with apple for be weak: ill love I
6 Mkono wake wakushuto upo chini ya kichwa changu, na mkono wake wa kulia wanikumbatia. Mwanamke akizungumza na wanawake wengine.
left his underneath: under to/for head my and right his to embrace me
7 Ninataka muhaidi, mabinti wa Yerusalemu, kwa swala na paa wa porini, kwamba hamtavuruga mapenzi yetu hadi yatakapo isha yenyewe. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe.
to swear [obj] you daughter Jerusalem in/on/with gazelle or in/on/with doe [the] land: country if: surely no to rouse and if: surely no to rouse [obj] [the] love till which/that to delight in
8 Sauti ya mpenzi wangu hiyo! O, huyu yuwaja, akiruka ruka juu milima, akiruka vilimani.
voice beloved my behold this to come (in): come to leap upon [the] mountain: mount to gather upon [the] hill
9 Mpenzi wangu ni kama swala au mtoto mdogo wa paa; angalia, amesimama nyuma ya ukuta wetu, akishangaa kupitia dirishani, akichungulia wavuni.
to resemble beloved my to/for gazelle or to/for fawn [the] deer behold this to stand: stand after wall our to gaze from [the] window to gaze from [the] lattice
10 Mpenzi wangu alizungumza na mimi na kusema, “Amka, mpenzi wangu; mzuri wangu, twende pamoja nami.
to answer beloved my and to say to/for me to arise: rise to/for you darling my beautiful my and to go: went to/for you
11 Angalia, baridi imepita; mvua imeisha na kwenda.
for behold ([the] winter *Q(K)*) to pass [the] rain to pass to go: went to/for him
12 Maua yametokeza juu ya nchi; wakati wa kupunguza matawi na kuimba kwa ndege umekuja, na sauti za hua zimesikika nchini kwetu.
[the] flower to see: see in/on/with land: soil time [the] branch to touch and voice [the] turtledove to hear: hear in/on/with land: country/planet our
13 Mti wa tini umepevusha tini zake za kijani, na mizabibu imestawi; yatoa marashi yake. Inuka, mpenzi wangu, mzuri wangu, na uje nami.
[the] fig to spice early fig her and [the] vine blossom to give: give aroma to arise: rise (to/for you *Q(K)*) darling my beautiful my and to go: come to/for you
14 Hua wangu, katika miamba ya mawe, katika miamba ya siri ya mipasuko ya milima, acha nione uso wako. Acha nisikie sauti yako, kwa kuwa sauti ni tamu, na uso wako ni mzuri.” Mwanamke akiongea mwenyewe
dove my in/on/with cleft [the] crag in/on/with secrecy [the] steep to see: see me [obj] appearance your to hear: hear me [obj] voice your for voice your sweet and appearance your lovely
15 Wakamate mbweha kwa ajili yetu, mbweha wadogo wanao haribu shamba za mizabibu, kwa kuwa shamba la mizabibu limestawi.
to grasp to/for us fox fox small to destroy vineyard and vineyard our blossom
16 Mpenzi wangu ni wangu, na mimi ni wake; anakula penye nyinyoro kwa raha. Mwanamke anaongea na mpenzi wake
beloved my to/for me and I to/for him [the] to pasture in/on/with lily
17 Enenda zako, mpenzi wangu, kabla pepo za jioni hazija vuma na vivuli kutoweka. Nenda zako; kuwa kama ayala au mtoto mdogo wa paa katika milima mawe mengi.
till which/that to breathe [the] day and to flee [the] shadow to turn: turn to resemble to/for you beloved my to/for gazelle or to/for fawn [the] deer upon mountain: mount cleft
