< Song of Solomon 8 >

1 Who shall give thee to me for my brother, sucking the breasts of my mother, that I may find thee without, and kiss thee, and now no man may despise me?
Ìwọ ìbá rí bí arákùnrin mi si mi, èyí tí ó mú ọmú ìyá mi dàgbà! Èmi ìbá rí ọ ní òde, èmi ìbá fi ẹnu kò ọ́ ní ẹnu, wọn kì bá fi mí ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.
2 I will take hold of thee, and bring thee Into my mother’s house: there thou shalt teach me, and I will give thee a cup of spiced wine and new wine of my pomegranates.
Èmi ìbá fi ọ̀nà hàn ọ́ èmi ìbá mú ọ wá sínú ilé ìyá mi, ìwọ ìbá kọ́ mi. Èmi ìbá fi ọtí wáìnì olóòórùn dídùn fún ọ mu, àti oje èso pomegiranate mi.
3 His left hand under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
Ọwọ́ òsì rẹ ìbá wà ní abẹ́ orí mi, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ ìbá sì gbà mí mọ́ra.
4 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor awake my love till she please.
Ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu, èmi pè yín ní ìjà. Ẹ má ṣe rú olùfẹ́ mi sókè. Ẹ má ṣe jí i títí tí yóò fi wù ú.
5 Who is this that cometh up from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I raised thee up: there thy mother was corrupted, there she was defloured that bore thee.
Ta ni ẹni tí ń gòkè bọ̀ wá láti aginjù, tí ó fi ara ti olùfẹ́ rẹ̀. Olólùfẹ́ Ní abẹ́ igi ápù ni mo ti jí ọ dìde; níbẹ̀ ni ìyá rẹ ti lóyún rẹ níbẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ń rọbí bí ọ sí.
6 Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire and flames. (Sheol h7585)
Gbé mi sí àyà rẹ bí èdìdì bí èdìdì lé apá rẹ; nítorí ìfẹ́ lágbára bí ikú, ìjowú sì le bí isà òkú jíjò rẹ̀ rí bí jíjò iná, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀wọ́-iná Olúwa. (Sheol h7585)
7 Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall despise it as nothing.
Omi púpọ̀ kò le paná ìfẹ́; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbígbá omi kò le gbá a lọ. Bí ènìyàn bá fún ìfẹ́, ní gbogbo ọrọ̀ ilé rẹ̀, a ó kẹ́gàn rẹ̀ pátápátá.
8 Our sister is little, and hath no breasts. What shall we do to our sister in the day when she is to be spoken to?
Àwa ní arábìnrin kékeré kan, òun kò sì ní ọmú, kí ni àwa yóò fún arábìnrin wa, ní ọjọ́ tí a ó bá fẹ́ ẹ?
9 If she be a wall: let us build upon it bulwarks of silver: if she be a door, let us join it together with boards or cedar.
Bí òun bá jẹ́ ògiri, àwa yóò kọ́ ilé odi fàdákà lé e lórí. Bí òun bá jẹ́ ìlẹ̀kùn, àwa yóò fi pákó kedari dí i.
10 I am a wall: and my breasts are as a tower since I am become in his presence as one finding peace.
Èmi jẹ́ ògiri, ọmú mi sì rí bí ilé ìṣọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo ṣe rí ní ojú rẹ̀ bí ẹni tí ń mú àlàáfíà wá.
11 The peaceable had a vineyard, in that which hath people: he let out the same to keepers, every man bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver.
Solomoni ní ọgbà àjàrà kan ní Baali-Hamoni ó gbé ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀ fún àwọn alágbàtọ́jú olúkúlùkù ni ó ń mú èso rẹ̀ wá ẹgbẹ̀rún fàdákà.
12 My vineyard is before me. A thousand are for thee, the peaceable, and two hundred for them that keep the fruit thereof.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọgbà àjàrà mi jẹ́ tèmi, ó wà fún mi; ẹgbẹ̀rún ṣékélì jẹ́ tìrẹ, ìwọ Solomoni, igba sì jẹ́ ti àwọn alágbàtọ́jú èso.
13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the friends hearken: make me hear thy voice.
Ìwọ tí ń gbé inú ọgbà, àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ dẹtí sí ohùn rẹ, jẹ́ kí èmi náà gbọ́ ohùn rẹ!
14 Flee away, O my beloved, and be like to the roe, and to the young hart upon the mountains of aromatical spices.
Yára wá, Olùfẹ́ mi, kí ìwọ kí ó sì rí bí abo egbin, tàbí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ àgbọ̀nrín, lórí òkè òórùn dídùn.
