¹I am a narcissus of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.

¹Izaho dia voninkazo eny an-tanety ihany sy lilia eny an-dohasaha.[Na: any Sarôna]

²As the lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.

²Toy ny lilia eo amin'ny tsilo, dia toy izany tompokovavy havako eo amin'ny zazavavy.

³As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons: In his shadow have I rapture and sit down; And his fruit is sweet to my taste.

³Toy ny hazo poma amin'ny hazo any an'ala, dia toy izany ny malalako eo amin'ny zatovo. Mahafinaritra ahy indrindra ny mipetraka eo ambanin'ny alokalony, sady mamy ao am-bavako ny voany.

⁴He hath brought me to the house of wine, And his banner over me is love.

⁴Nentiny ho ao an-tranon-divay aho, ary ny fanevany eo amboniko dia fitiavana.

⁵Sustain ye me with raisin-cakes, Refresh me with apples; For I am sick of love.

⁵Hatanjaho amin'ampempam-boaloboka aho, ary velombelomy amin'ny poma aho, fa mararim-pitia.

⁶His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.

⁶Aoka ny tànany ankavia hanondana ahy, ary aoka ny tànany ankavanana hanohona ahy.

⁷I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, or by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please.

⁷Mampianiana anareo amin'ny gazela na amin'ny dieravavy any an-tsaha aho, ry zanakavavin'i Jerosalema: Aza manaitra na mamoha ny fitiavana raha tsy efa sitrapony.[Anaram-biby haingan-tongotra]

⁸The voice of my beloved! Behold, he cometh Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.

⁸[Tenin'ny ampakarina, raha nitoetra irery izy] Injay, ny feon'ilay malalako! Indro, tamy izy ka miantsambotsambotra eny an-tendrombohitra ary mitsambitimbikina eny amin'ny havoana.

⁹My beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart. Behold, he standeth behind our wall, He looketh in through the windows, Glancing through the lattice.

⁹Ny malalako dia tahaka ny gazela na ny diera tanora; Indro, mijanona eo ala-tranonay izy, mitsidika eo am-baravarankely, manarangarana eo amin'ny makarakara.[Anaram-biby haingan-tongotra][Heb. ivelan'ny rindrinay]

¹⁰My beloved spake and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

¹⁰Niteny ny malalako ka nanao tamiko hoe: Mitsangàna, ry tompokovavy havako, ry tsara tarehiko, ka andeha ary!

¹¹For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over, it is gone:

¹¹Fa, indro, lasa ny ririnina, ritra tsy misy intsony ny ranonorana;

¹²The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;

¹²Miposaka eo amin'ny tany ny voninkazo; Tonga ny taona fanaovam-peo fifaliana, ary re atỳ amin'ny tanintsika ny feon'ny domohina.

¹³The fig-tree melloweth her winter figs, And the vines in bloom give forth [their] fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away!

¹³Ny aviavy mahamanitra ny voany tanora, mamony ny voaloboka ka mamerovero tsara. Mitsangàna, ry tompokovavy havako, ry tsara tarehiko, ka andeha ary![aviavimbazaha]

¹⁴My dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the covert of the precipice, Let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

¹⁴E, ry voromailalako ao amin'ny tsefatsefaky ny harambato, dia ao amin'ny fialokalofana amin'ny fiakarana mideza, aoka hahita ny endrikao sy handre ny feonao aho; Fa mamy ny feonao, sady mahafinaritra ny endrikao.

¹⁵Take us the foxes, The little foxes, that spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in bloom.

¹⁵Sambory ny amboahaolo, dia ireo amboahaolo madinika izay manimba ny tanim-boaloboka; Fa efa mamony izao ny voalobotsika.

¹⁶My beloved is mine, and I am his; He feedeth [his flock] among the lilies,

¹⁶Ahy ny malalako, ary azy aho, dia ilay miandry ny ondriny eny amin'ny lilia.Mandra-pangatsiatsiaky ny andro, ka efa hilentika ny masoandro, mitodiha, ry ilay malalako, ary aoka ho tahaka ny gazela na ny diera tanora eny an-tendrombohitra be hantsana ianao. [Heb. mandositra ny aloka][Anaram-biby haingan-tongotra][Na: tendrombohitra manelanelana]

¹⁷Until the day dawn, and the shadows flee away. Turn, my beloved: be thou like a gazelle or a young hart, Upon the mountains of Bether.

¹⁷Mandra-pangatsiatsiaky ny andro, ka efa hilentika ny masoandro, mitodiha, ry ilay malalako, ary aoka ho tahaka ny gazela na ny diera tanora eny an-tendrombohitra be hantsana ianao. [Heb. mandositra ny aloka][Anaram-biby haingan-tongotra][Na: tendrombohitra manelanelana]
