The Song of Songs, that [is] Solomon's.
2 A pahni hoiah na mok nasoe, nang palunghaih loe misurtui pongah hoih kue.
Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth, For better [are] thy loves than wine.
3 Na hmuihoihaih loe paroeai koeh han koiah oh; na hmin loe bawh ih hmuihoih tui ah oh; to pongah kacuem tanglanawk mah nang to ang palung o.
For fragrance [are] thy perfumes good. Perfume emptied out — thy name, Therefore have virgins loved thee!

Draw me: after thee we run, The king hath brought me into his inner chambers, We do joy and rejoice in thee, We mention thy loves more than wine, Uprightly they have loved thee!
5 Aw Jerusalem canunawk, kai loe ngan amnum, toe Kedar ih kahni im baktih, Solomon iimkhaan pakaahaih kahni baktiah, palung akap han koi kaom ah ka oh.
Dark [am] I, and comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As tents of Kedar, as curtains of Solomon.
6 Ni kabae mah paaem moe, ngan kam num pongah, na khen o kuur hmah; kam no ih caanawk mah palung ang phui o thuih pongah, misur takha khenzawnkung ah ang suek o; kaimah ih misur takha loe ka pahnong sut boeh.
Fear me not, because I [am] very dark, Because the sun hath scorched me, The sons of my mother were angry with me, They made me keeper of the vineyards, My vineyard — my own — I have not kept.
7 Kang palung ih nang oe, tuunawk to naah maw na pacah, naa ih ahmuen ah maw athun ah tuunawk to nang haksak, na thui ah; tipongah kai loe nam pui kalah tuu toepkung hnukah, loklam amkhraeng moe, kahni hoi mikhmai kakhuk khoep nongpata baktiah ka oh han loe?
Declare to me, thou whom my soul hath loved, Where thou delightest, Where thou liest down at noon, For why am I as one veiled, By the ranks of thy companions?

If thou knowest not, O fair among women, Get thee forth by the traces of the flock, And feed thy kids by the shepherds' dwellings!
9 Aw kang palung duek ih tlangai, nang loe Faro ih hrang lakok karuet hrang hoiah kang patah.
To my joyous one in chariots of Pharaoh, I have compared thee, my friend,
10 Naa ah na buen ih naaphaeh hoi tahnong ah na oih ih sui bungmu mah na tangbaengnawk to krang ang hoisak.
Comely have been thy cheeks with garlands, Thy neck with chains.
11 Sumkanglung tui hoi sui hoiah pazut ih bungmu to nang hanah kang sak pae o han.
Garlands of gold we do make for thee, With studs of silver!
12 Siangpahrang angmah ih caboi taengah anghnut naah, kai ih hmuihoih tui to amsong.
While the king [is] in his circle, My spikenard hath given its fragrance.
13 Ka palung duek ih ka tlangai loe aqum puek ka tahnu salakah kaom myrrh hmuihoih tui baktiah oh.
A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me, Between my breasts it lodgeth.
14 Kai ih tlangai loe En Gedi misur takha thung ih apawk tangoeng baktiah oh.
A cluster of cypress [is] my beloved to me, In the vineyards of En-Gedi!
15 Khenah, krang na hoih parai! Ka tlangai, khenah, na krang hoih parai; na mik doeh pahuu mik baktiah oh.
Lo, thou [art] fair, my friend, Lo, thou [art] fair, thine eyes [are] doves!

The beams of our houses [are] cedars, Our rafters [are] firs, I [am] a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys!
