Song of Solomon 2
1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
Mimi ni ua katika tambarare, nyinyoro katika bonde. Mwanaume akizungumza naye
2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Kama nyinyoro miongoni mwa mimba, ndivyo wewe, mpenzi wangu, miongoni mwa mabinti wengine wote. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
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.
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Amenileta kwenye ukumbi wa maakuli, na bendera yake juu yangu ilikuwa upendo. Mwanamke akizungumza na mpenzi wake.
5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
Ni uishe kwa keki za mizabibu na kuniuisha na mapera, kwa kuwa nimedhohofika na mapenzi. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand does embrace me.
Mkono wake wakushuto upo chini ya kichwa changu, na mkono wake wa kulia wanikumbatia. Mwanamke akizungumza na wanawake wengine.
7 I charge you, O all of you daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that all of you stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
Ninataka muhaidi, mabinti wa Yerusalemu, kwa swala na paa wa porini, kwamba hamtavuruga mapenzi yetu hadi yatakapo isha yenyewe. Mwanamke akizungumza mwenyewe.
8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
Sauti ya mpenzi wangu hiyo! O, huyu yuwaja, akiruka ruka juu milima, akiruka vilimani.
9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he stands behind our wall, he looks forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice.
Mpenzi wangu ni kama swala au mtoto mdogo wa paa; angalia, amesimama nyuma ya ukuta wetu, akishangaa kupitia dirishani, akichungulia wavuni.
10 My beloved spoke, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Mpenzi wangu alizungumza na mimi na kusema, “Amka, mpenzi wangu; mzuri wangu, twende pamoja nami.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
Angalia, baridi imepita; mvua imeisha na kwenda.
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds has come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
Maua yametokeza juu ya nchi; wakati wa kupunguza matawi na kuimba kwa ndege umekuja, na sauti za hua zimesikika nchini kwetu.
13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Mti wa tini umepevusha tini zake za kijani, na mizabibu imestawi; yatoa marashi yake. Inuka, mpenzi wangu, mzuri wangu, na uje nami.
14 O my dove, that are in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see your countenance, let me hear your voice; for sweet is your voice, and your countenance is comely.
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
15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
Wakamate mbweha kwa ajili yetu, mbweha wadogo wanao haribu shamba za mizabibu, kwa kuwa shamba la mizabibu limestawi.
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feeds among the lilies.
Mpenzi wangu ni wangu, na mimi ni wake; anakula penye nyinyoro kwa raha. Mwanamke anaongea na mpenzi wake
17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be you like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
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.
