1 G oor habeennimo ah ayaan sariirtayda ka doondoonay kan naftaydu jeceshahay. Waan doondoonay, laakiinse ma aanan helin.

In the night I dreamed that I sought the one whom I love. I looked for him but could not find him.

2 H addaba waan kacayaa, oo magaaladaan dhex wareegayaa, Oo dariiqyada iyo jidadka waaweyn Ayaan ka dhex goobayaa kan naftaydu jeceshahay. Waan doondoonay laakiinse ma aanan helin.

So I decided to go out into the city, into the streets and broad ways, and seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I could not find him.

3 W axaa i helay waardiyayaashii magaalada dhex warwareegayay, Oo anna waxaan ku idhi, Kan naftaydu jeceshahay ma aragteen?

The watchmen who go about the city found me, to whom I said, Have you seen him whom my soul loves?

4 O o kolkaan iyagii in yar sii dhaafay Ayaan helay kii naftaydu jeceshahay. Waan qabtay, mana sii dayn, Ilaa aan isaga gurigii hooyaday keenay, Oo aan qolladdii tii i uuraysatay geliyey.

I had gone but a little way past them when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her who conceived me.

5 G abdhaha reer Yeruusaalemow, waxaan idinku dhaarinayaa Cawsha iyo deerada duurka Inaydaan jacayl kicin ama aydaan toosin Ilaa uu doono.

I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or by the hinds of the field that you stir not up nor awaken love until it pleases.

6 W aa kuma kan cidlada uga soo baxaya sida tiirar qiiq ah? Oo ay malmalka, iyo fooxa, Iyo dhirta udgoon ee baayacmushtariga oo dhammu ka carfayaan?

Who or what is this that comes gliding out of the wilderness like stately pillars of smoke perfumed with myrrh, frankincense, and all the fragrant powders of the merchant?

7 B al eeg, waa sariirta Sulaymaan lagu qaadee. Lixdan nin oo xoog badan oo ka mid ah kuwa xoogga badan ee reer binu Israa'iil Ayaa hareereheeda ku wareegsan.

Behold, it is the traveling litter (the bridal car) of Solomon. Sixty mighty men are around it, of the mighty men of Israel.

8 K ulligood seefta aad bay u yaqaaniin, waana wada dagaalyahan. Ninkood kastaba seeftiisii dhexday ugu xidhan tahay, Cabsida habeenka aawadeed.

They all handle the sword and are expert in war; every man has his sword upon his thigh, that fear be not excited in the night.

9 B oqor Sulaymaan wuxuu kursi la qaado Ka samaystay qoryihii Lubnaan.

King Solomon made himself a car or a palanquin from the wood of Lebanon.

10 T iirarkiisii lacag buu ka dhigay, Hoostiisiina dahab buu ka dhigay, oo meeshuu fadhiistayna guduud buu ka dhigay, Oo dhexdiisiina gabdhaha reer Yeruusaalem ayaa jacayl ku sharraxay.

He made its posts of silver, its back of gold, its seat of purple, the inside of it lovingly and intricately wrought in needlework by the daughters of Jerusalem.

11 G abdhaha reer Siyoonow, bal baxa, oo Boqor Sulaymaan eega, Isagoo qaba taajkii hooyadiis madaxa u saartay maalintii arooskiisa, Iyo maalintii qalbigiisu faraxsanaa.

Go forth, O you daughters of Zion, and gaze upon King Solomon wearing the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, on the day of his gladness of heart.
