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.

³Thine ointments savour sweetly; Thy name is an 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. They love thee uprightly.

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, 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 keeper of the vineyards; 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, thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest [thy flock], Where thou makest it to rest at noon; For why should I be as one veiled Beside 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, thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' booths.

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 compare thee, my love, To a steed 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 bead-rows, Thy neck with ornamental chains.

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

¹¹We will make thee bead-rows of gold With studs of silver.

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

¹²While the king is at his table, My spikenard sendeth forth its fragrance.

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

¹³A bundle of myrrh is my beloved unto me; He shall pass the night between my breasts.

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

¹⁴My beloved is unto me a cluster of henna-flowers 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: thine eyes are doves.

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 houses are cedars, Our rafters are cypresses.

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