¹The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

¹Ny tonon-kira tsara indrindra, izay nataon'i Solomona.

²Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

²[Ny ampakarina sy ny zanakavavin'i Jerosalema] Enga anie ka hanoroka ahy amin'ny fanorohan'ny vavany izy! Fa tsara noho ny divay ny fitiavanao.

³Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.

³Mani-pofona ny menakao tsara, menaka manitra voaidina ny anaranao, koa izany no itiavan'ny zatovovavy anao.

⁴Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

⁴Taomy aho, dia hihazakazaka hanaraka anao izahay; Nentin'ny mpanjaka ho ao an-efi-tranony aho. Hifaly sy hiravoravo aminao izahay; Hankalazainay mihoatra noho ny divay ny fitiavanao; Fitiavana marina no itiavany anao.

⁵I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

⁵Mivalomainty aho, nefa tsara tarehy, ry zanakavavin'i Jerosalema, toy ny lain'i Kedara, toy ny ambain-dain'i Solomona.

⁶Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

⁶Aza mibanjina ahy, fa mivalomainty aho, satria efa azon'ny hainandro; Tezitra tamiko ny zanak'ineny; Notendreny ho mpiandry ny tanim-boalobony aho; Nefa ny tanim-boaloboko kosa, dia ny an'ny tenako, tsy mba nandrasako.

⁷Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?

⁷Lazao amiko, ry ilay tian'ny fanahiko, izay iandrasanao ny ondrinao, sy izay ampandrianao azy raha antoandro; Fa nahoana no ho tahaka izay mivezivezy foana aho Eny amin'ny andian'ny namanao? [Na: misarona fisalobonana]

⁸If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.

⁸Raha tsy fantatrao, ry tsara tarehy indrindra amin'ny vehivavy, dia mandehana hanaraka ny andian'ny ondry aman'osy, ary andraso eny amin'ny lain'ny mpiandry ondry ny zanak'osinao.

⁹I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.

⁹[Ny mpanjaka sy ny ampakarina] Ry tompokovavy havako, ianao dia ampitahaiko amin'ny soavalivaviko mitarika ny kalesin'i Farao.

¹⁰Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.

¹⁰Mahatsara ny tarehinao ireo voahangy voatohy; Manendrika ny vozonao ireo rado.

¹¹We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.

¹¹Nefa rojo volamena misy voavola mibontsimbontsina kosa no hataonay ho anao.

¹²While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.

¹²Raha mipetraka amin'ny latabany ny mpanjaka, dia mamerovero tsara ny nardako.

¹³A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.

¹³Ny malalako dia miora am-pehezana madinika mandry eo an-tratrako.

¹⁴My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

¹⁴Ny malalako dia tahaka ny vonin'ny kofera amiko, any an-tanimbolin'i En-jedy.

¹⁵Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.

¹⁵Indro, tsara tarehy ianao, ry tompokovavy havako; Indro, tsara tarehy ianao; Voromailala ny masonao.[Na: Manana masom-boromailala ianao]

¹⁶Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.

¹⁶Indro, tsara tarehy ianao, ry malalako, eny, mahafinaritra; Maitso ny fandriantsika.Sedera ny sakamandimbin'ny tranontsika, ary kypreso ny peta-drindrintsika.

¹⁷The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.

¹⁷Sedera ny sakamandimbin'ny tranontsika, ary kypreso ny peta-drindrintsika.
