Wimbo wa Sulemani 8
1 Ninatamani ungekua kama kaka yangu, aliye nyonya ziwa la mama yangu. Ili kwamba kila ningekuona nje ningekubusu pasipo mtu kunidharau.
who? to give: put you like/as brother: male-sibling to/for me to suckle breast mother my to find you in/on/with outside (to kiss you *L(abh)*) also not to despise to/for me
2 Nitakuongoza na kukuleta kwenye nyumba ya mama yangu, na utanifundisha. Nitakupa mvinyo ulio chachwa unywe na baadhi ya jwisi ya komamanga. Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza mwenyewe
to lead you to come (in): bring you to(wards) house: home mother my to learn: teach me to water: drink you from wine [the] spice from sweet pomegranate my
3 Mkono wake wa kushoto uko chini ya kichwa changu na mkono wake wa kulia wanikumbatia. Mwanamke akiongea na wanawake wengine
left his underneath: under head my and right his to embrace me
4 Ninataka muape, mabinti wa wanaume wa Yerusalemu, kuwa hamtavuruga mapenzi yetu hadi yatakapo isha yenyewe. Wanawake wa Yerusalemu wakizungumza
to swear [obj] you daughter Jerusalem what? to rouse and what? to rouse [obj] [the] love till which/that to delight in
5 Ni nani huyu anaye kuja kutoka nyikani, amemuegemea mpenzi wake? Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza na mpenzi wake nimekuamsha chini ya mti wa mpera; pale mama yako alichukua mimba; pale alikuzaa, alijifungua wewe.
who? this to ascend: rise from [the] wilderness to lean upon beloved her underneath: under [the] apple to rouse you there [to] be in labour you mother your there [to] be in labour to beget you
6 Nieka kama muhuri kwenye moyo wako, kama muhuri kwenye mkono wako, kwa kuwa mapenzi yana nguvu kama mauti. Mapenzi mazito hayana kurudi kama kwenda kuzimu; miale yake yalipuka; ni miale ya moto inayo waka, miale yenye joto kuliko moto wowote. (Sheol h7585)
to set: make me like/as signet upon heart your like/as signet upon arm your for strong like/as death love severe like/as hell: Sheol jealousy flash her flash fire flame LORD (Sheol h7585)
7 Maji yalio zuka hayawezi kuzimisha upendo, wala mafuriko hayawezi kuondoa. Mwanaume akitoa mali zake zote kwa ajili ya upendo, ukarimu wake utadharauliwa. Kaka zake mwanamke mdogo wakizungumza wenyewe
water many not be able to/for to quench [obj] [the] love and river not to overflow her if to give: give man: anyone [obj] all substance house: home his in/on/with love to despise to despise to/for him
8 Tuna dada mdogo, na matiti yake bado hayajakua. Nini tutamfanyia dada yetu siku hatakayo ahidiwa kuolewa?
sister to/for us small and breast nothing to/for her what? to make: do to/for sister our in/on/with day which/that to speak: speak in/on/with her
9 Kama ni ukuta, tutamjengea juu yake mnara wa fedha. Kama ni mlango, tutampamba kwa mbao za mierezi. Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza peke yake
if wall he/she/it to build upon her encampment silver: money and if door he/she/it to confine upon her tablet cedar
10 Nilikuwa ukuta, lakini matiti yangu sasa ni kama nguzo imara; hivyo nimekomaa machoni pake. Mwanamke mdogo akizungumza mwenyewe
I wall and breast my like/as tower then to be in/on/with eye his like/as to find peace
11 Sulemani alikuwa na shamba la mizabibu huko Baali Hamoni. Aliwakodishia wao ambao watalitunza. Kila mmoja alipaswa kuleta shekeli elfu moja za fedha kwa matunda yake.
vineyard to be to/for Solomon in/on/with Baal-hamon Baal-hamon to give: give [obj] [the] vineyard to/for to keep man: anyone to come (in): bring in/on/with fruit his thousand silver: money
12 Shamba langu ka mzabibu ni langu, shekeli elfu moja ni za kwako, Sulemani mpenzi, na shekeli mia mbili ni za wale wanao tunza matunda yake. Mpenzi wa mwanamke akizungumza naye.
vineyard my which/that to/for me to/for face: before my [the] thousand to/for you Solomon and hundred to/for to keep [obj] fruit his
13 Wewe unaye ishi katika bustani, marafiki zangu wanasikiliza sauti yako; acha na mimi niweanaye isikia pia. Mwanamke mdogo akiongea na mpenzi wake
([the] to dwell *L(abh)*) in/on/with garden companion to listen to/for voice your to hear: hear me
14 Harakisha, mpenzi wangu, na uwe kama paa au mtoto wa paa kwenye milima ya manukato.
to flee beloved my and to resemble to/for you to/for gazelle or to/for fawn [the] deer upon mountain: mount spice
