Wimbo wa Sulemani 5
1 Nimekuja katika bustani yangu, dada yangu, bibi arusi wangu; Nimekusanya udi wangu na manukato yangu. Nimekula mziga wangu wa asali na asali yangu; Nimekunywa mvinyo wangu pamoja na maziwa yangu. Marafiki wanazungumza na wapenzi Kuleni, marafiki; kunyweni na mlewe na mapenzi. Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza mwenyewe
to come (in): come to/for garden my sister my daughter-in-law: bride to pluck myrrh my with spice my to eat honeycomb my with honey my to drink wine my with milk my to eat neighbor to drink and be drunk beloved: love
2 Nilikuwa nimelala, lakini moyo wangu ulikuwa umeamka katika ndoto. Sauti ya mpenzi wangu yabisha na kusema, “Nifungulie, dada yangu, mpenzi wangu, hua wangu, wangu usiye na doa, kwa kuwa kichwa changu kimelowa na matone, nywele zangu na unyevu wa usiku.”
I sleeping and heart my to rouse voice: sound beloved my to beat to open to/for me sister my darling my dove my complete my which/that head my to fill dew lock my drop night
3 “Nimevua joho langu; lazima nilivae tena? Nimeosha miguu yangu; lazima ni ichafue?”

4 Mpenzi wangu anaeka mkono wake kwenye kitasa, na moyo wangu ukawaka kwa ajili yake.
beloved my to send: reach hand his from [the] hole and belly my to roar upon him
5 Nimeamka kumfungulia mlango mpenzi wangu; mikono yangu ikawa yamiminika na udi, vidole vyangu na unyevu wa udi, katika komeo la mlango.
to arise: rise I to/for to open to/for beloved my and hand my to drip/prophesy myrrh and finger my myrrh to pass upon palm [the] bolt
6 Nimemfungulia mlango mpenzi wangu, lakini mpenzi wangu aligeuka na kwenda. Moyo wangu ukadidimia; nikakosa tumaini. Nikamtafuta, lakini sikumpata; nikamuita, lakini hakunijibu.
to open I to/for beloved my and beloved my to turn away to pass soul my to come out: surrender in/on/with to speak: speak he to seek him and not to find him to call: call to him and not to answer me
7 Walinzi waliokuwa wakizunguka mjini walinipata mimi; walinipiga chini na kunijeruhi; askari katika ukuta walichukua nguo yangu ya juu. Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza na wanawake wa mji
to find me [the] to keep: guard [the] to turn: surround in/on/with city to smite me to wound me to lift: raise [obj] veil my from upon me to keep: guard [the] wall
8 Ninataka uhaidi, mabinti wa Yerusalemu, kwamba mkimuona mpenzi wangu, mwambie ninaumwa sababu ya upendo wangu kwake. Wanawake wa mji wakizungumza na mwanamke mdogo
to swear [obj] you daughter Jerusalem if to find [obj] beloved my what? to tell to/for him which/that be weak: ill love I
9 Mpenzi wako ana ubora gani kuliko mwanaume mwengine, wewe uliye mzuri miongoni mwa wanawake? Kwanini mpenzi wako bora kuliko mpenzi mwengine, hadi utuulize tuweke nadhiri kama hii? Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza na wanawake wa mji
what? beloved your from beloved [the] beautiful in/on/with woman what? beloved your from beloved which/that thus to swear us
10 Mpenzi wangu amenawiri na ana ng'aa, kati ya wanaume elfu kumi.
beloved my dazzling and red to look from myriad
11 Kichwa chake ni dhahabu safi; nywele zake ni laini na nyeusi kama kunguru.

12 Macho yake ni kama ya hua pembezoni ya vijito vya maji, yameoshwa na maziwa, yameundwa kama mikufu.
eye his like/as dove upon channel water to wash: wash in/on/with milk to dwell upon setting
13 Mashavu yake ni kama vitanda vya manukato, vinavyotoa arufu ya marashi. Midomo yake nni nyinyoro, inayo tiririka udi.
jaw his like/as bed [the] spice tower spice lips his lily to drip/prophesy myrrh to pass
14 Mikono yake ni ya mianzi ya dhahabu iliyo zungushiwa mikufu; tumbo lake ni pembe lililo funikwa yakuti samawi.

15 Miguu yake ni nguzo za marimari, iliyo ekwa juu ya dhahabu safi; muonekano wake ni kama Lebanoni, mizuri kama mierezi.

16 Mdomo wake ni mtamu; ni mzuri sana. Huyu ni mpenzi wangu, na huyu ni rafiki yangu, mabinti wa Yerusalemu.
