< Song of Solomon 1 >

1 This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
Ti Kanta dagiti Kankanta, nga inaramid ni Solomon. Kasarsarita ti balasang ti mangay-ayat kenkuana
2 Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
O agkannak koma babaen kadagiti agek ti ngiwatmo, ta nasaysayaat ti ayatmo ngem ti arak.
3 The fragrance of the cologne on your [skin] is [very] sweet/pleasing [CHI]. And your reputation is [very] good and spreads, [like] [SIM] the fragrance of the special oil spread on your skin. That is why the [other] young women are attracted to you.
Addaan dagiti pangsapsapo a lanam iti makaparagsak nga ayamuom; maiyarig iti agay-ayus a bangbanglo ti naganmo, isu nga ayatendaka dagiti babbalasang.
4 Take me quickly; take me to your home. [It is as though] you are my king; take me into your room. We are very happy [DOU] about you; we say that your love [for each other] is better than wine. It is not surprising that the other young women adore you.
Isurotnak ket agtarayta. Kasarsarita ti babai ti bagina; Impannak ti ari kadagiti siledna. Kasarsarita ti babai ti mangay-ayat kenkuana Maragsakanak; Agragsao-ak gapu kenka; palubosannak a mangrambak iti ayatmo; nasaysayaat daytoy ngem ti arak. Gagangay laeng a magustoandaka dagiti dadduma a babbai.
5 You women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful; my dark skin is like [SIM] the tents in Kedar, [or] like the beautiful curtains in Solomon’s palace.
Kasarsarita ti babai dagiti dadduma a babbai, nangisitak ngem napintasak, dakayo nga annak a babbai dagiti tattao ti Jerusalem—nangisit a kasla kadagiti tolda ti Kedar, napintas a kasla kadagiti kurtina ni Solomon.
6 [But] do not stare at me because of the sun having caused my skin to become dark; my brothers were angry with me, [so] they forced me to work [out in the sunshine] in the vineyards, so I was not able to take good care of my body/skin [CHI, MET].
Saannak a matmatan gapu ta nangisitak, gapu ta pinangisitnak ti init. Kaguradak dagiti kakabsatko a lallaki; pinagaywandak kadagiti kaubasan, ngem saanko a naaywanan ti bukodko a kaubasan. Kasarsarita ti babai ti mangay-ayat kenkuana;
7 You whom I [SYN] love, where will you take your flock of sheep today? Where will you allow them to rest at noontime? I want to know because it is not right [RHQ] for me to wander around like a prostitute looking for you among the flocks that belong to your friends.
Ibagam kaniak, sika nga ay-ayatek, sadino ti pangipastoram ti arbanmo? Sadino ti pangipalinongam ti arbanmo iti tengnga ti aldaw? Apay a masapul a kaslaak iti maysa a tao nga agalla-alla iti asideg ti arban dagiti kakaduam? Sumungsungbat kenkuana ti mangay-ayat kenkuana
8 You who are the most beautiful of all the women, if you [search for me and] do not know [where I will take my sheep], follow the tracks/footprints of the sheep. [Then] allow your young goats to (graze/eat grass) near the shepherds’ tents.
No saanmo nga ammo, kapipintasan kadagiti babbai, surotem dagiti tugot ti arbanko, ken ipastormo dagiti urbon a kaldingmo iti asideg dagiti tolda dagiti agpaspastor.
9 You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.
Iyarigka, ay-ayatek, iti kabaian a kabalio manipud kadagiti kabalio ti karwahe ni Faraon.
10 Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.
Nagpintas dagiti pingpingmo nga addaan kadagiti arkos, ti tingngedmo nga addaan kadagiti alahas.
11 We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
Iyaramidankanto kadagiti balitok nga arkos nga addaan ti butonesna a pirak. Kasarsarita ti babai ti bagina
12 While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
Kabayatan nga agid-idda ti ari iti sofana, agayamuom ti bangbanglok a nardo.
13 The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.
Para kaniak, maiyarig ti ay-ayatek iti maysa a pagkargaan ti mira nga agpatnag nga agid-idda iti nagbaetan dagiti susok.
14 He is like [MET] a bunch of flowers from the vineyards at En-Gedi.
Para kaniak, maiyarig ti ay-ayatek iti sangaraay dagiti sabsabong a kandaroma idiay kaubasan ti Engedi. Kasarsarita isuna iti lalaki a mangay-ayat kenkuana
15 You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
Kitaem, nagpintaska ay-ayatek; kitaem, nagpintaska; kasla kadagiti kalapati dagiti matam. Kasarsarita ti babai ti mangay-ayat kenkuana
16 You who love me, you are very delightful/handsome, you are wonderful! This green grass will be [like] a couch [where we lie down].
Kitaem, nagtaerka, ay-ayatek, anian a nagtaraerka. Dagiti nalangto a mulmula ti agserbi a pagiddaanta.
17 [Branches of] cedar [trees] will shade us; [it is as though branches of] juniper/pine [trees] will be like [MET] a roof [over our heads].
Dagiti busoran ti balayta ket sangsanga dagiti kayo a sedro, ken dagiti bobedata ket dagiti sangsanga ti aruo.
