Oluyimba 8
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
8 Singa wali muganda wange eyakuzibwa mmange
era eyayonka amabeere ga mmange,
nandikusanze ebweru
nandikunywegedde
ne wataba n’omu annyooma.
2 (A)Nandikukulembedde
ne nkuleeta mu nnyumba ya mmange,
oyo eyangigiriza.
Nandikuwadde wayini okunywa ng’alimu ebyakaloosa,
omubisi ogw’amakomamawanga gange.
3 (B)Omukono gwe ogwa kkono guli wansi wa mutwe gwange
n’omukono gwe ogwa ddyo gumpambaatira.
4 (C)Mmwe abawala ba Yerusaalemi mbakuutira,
temusiikuula newaakubadde okuzuukusa okwagala
okutuusa ng’ekiseera ekituufu kituuse.
Abemikwano
5 (D)Ani oyo gwe tulengera ng’ava mu ddungu
nga yeesigamye muganzi we?
Omwagalwa
Nakuzuukusa ng’oli wansi w’omuti ogw’omucungwa.
Eyo maama wo gye yafunira olubuto era eyo
maama wo gye yakuzaalira mu bulumi obungi.
6 (E)Nteeka ng’akabonero ku mutima gwo,
era ng’akabonero ku mukono gwo,
kubanga okwagala kwa maanyi ng’okufa,
obuggya bwakwo buli ng’obusungu obw’emagombe.
Kwaka ng’ennimi ez’omuliro,
omuliro ogwaka n’amaanyi ennyo.
7 (F)Amazzi amangi tegamalaawo nnyonta ya kwagala
n’emigga tegiyinza kukumalawo.
Singa omuntu awaayo
obugagga bwe bwonna obw’ennyumba ye okufuna okwagala,
asekererwa nnyo.
Abemikwano
8 Tulina muto waffe
atannamera mabeere,
naye tulikola tutya
bw’alituuka okwogerezebwa?
9 Singa abadde bbugwe
twandimuzimbyeko eminaala egya ffeeza,
singa abadde luggi
twandimuggalidde na mivule.
Omwagalwa
10 Ndi bbugwe
era n’amabeere gange gali ng’ekitikkiro,
noolwekyo mu maaso ge,
mmufuukidde aleeta emirembe.
11 (G)Sulemaani yalina ennimiro y’emizabbibu e Baaluka Kamooni,
n’agisigira abalimi.
Buli omu ku bo yamusalira
ebitundu bya ffeeza lukumi.
12 (H)Ennimiro yange ey’emizabbibu, yange,
ebitundu olukumi bibyo ggwe Sulemaani,
ebitundu ebikumi bibiri by’abo abalabirira ennimiro.
Owoomukwano
13 Ggwe abeera mu nnimiro
ne mikwano gyo nga weebali,
ka mpulire eddoboozi lyo.
Omwagalwa
14 (I)Yanguwa okuvaayo eyo,
odduke mangu ng’empeewo
oba ng’ennangaazi ento,
oddukire ku nsozi ezijjudde ebyakaloosa.
Song of Songs 8
New International Version
8 If only you were to me like a brother,
who was nursed at my mother’s breasts!
Then, if I found you outside,
I would kiss you,
and no one would despise me.
2 I would lead you
and bring you to my mother’s house(A)—
she who has taught me.
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
the nectar of my pomegranates.
3 His left arm is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.(B)
4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(C)
Friends
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness(D)
leaning on her beloved?
She
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived(E) you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love(F) is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a](G) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it[c] would be utterly scorned.(H)
Friends
8 We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build towers of silver on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
She
10 I am a wall,
and my breasts are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
like one bringing contentment.
11 Solomon had a vineyard(I) in Baal Hamon;
he let out his vineyard to tenants.
Each was to bring for its fruit
a thousand shekels[d](J) of silver.
12 But my own vineyard(K) is mine to give;
the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,
and two hundred[e] are for those who tend its fruit.
He
13 You who dwell in the gardens
with friends in attendance,
let me hear your voice!
She
