Solomon Laa 3
1 Ka hinglu kah a lungnah te khoyin ah ka thingkong dongah ka tlap. Anih te ka tlap dae amah ka hmuh moenih.
By night on my bed I was looking for him who is the love of my soul: I was looking for him, but I did not see him.
2 Ka thoo laeh vetih kho khopuei khui neh imdak ah khaw, toltung ah khaw ka hil mako. Ka hinglu loh a lungnah te ka tlap laeh mako. Anih te ka tlap dae amah ka hmuh moenih.
I will get up now and go about the town, in the streets and in the wide ways I will go after him who is the love of my soul: I went after him, but I did not see him.
3 Khopuei te a hil tih aka tawt rhoek loh kai m'hmuh uh. Ka hinglu kah a lungnah te na hmuh uh nim?
The watchmen who go about the town came by me; to them I said, Have you seen him who is my heart's desire?
4 Amih lamloh vel ka poeng vaengah ka hinglu kah a lungnah te ka hmuh. Amah te ka tuuk tih a nu im hil neh kai n'yom nah imkhui hil amah ka khuen duela anih te ka hlah pawh.
I was but a little way from them, when I came face to face with him who is the love of my soul. I took him by the hands, and did not let him go, till I had taken him into my mother's house, and into the room of her who gave me birth.
5 Jerusalem nu rhoek nang te kan caeng coeng. Kohong kah sakhi rhuinu long khaw sayuk long khaw n'haeng boel saeh. Lungnah loh a ngaih duela haenghang boeh.
I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, let not love be moved till it is ready.
6 Myrrah a phum neh thenpom vaidik boeih lamkah hmueihtui tah hmaikhu tung bangla khosoek lamloh aka cet he unim?
Who is this coming out of the waste places like pillars of smoke, perfumed with sweet spices, with all the spices of the trader?
7 Solomon taengkah a baiphaih aih ke. A kaepvai kah hlangrhalh sawmrhuk rhoek khaw Israel hlangrhalh khui lamkah ni.
See, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty men of war are about it, of the army of Israel,
8 Amih boeih tah cunghang a muk uh tih caemtloek neh phaep uh. Hlang loh khoyin kah birhihnah dongah a phai ah a cunghang a vah.
All of them armed with swords, trained in war; every man has his sword at his side, because of fear in the night.
9 Manghai Solomon loh Lebanon thing te amah kah pa la a sak.
King Solomon made himself a bed of the wood of Lebanon.
10 A tung te cak neh, a imci te sui neh, a ngoldoelh te daidi neh a saii. A khui tah Jerusalem nu kah lungnah neh a ben.
He made its pillars of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple, the middle of it of ebony.
11 Cet lamtah manghai Solomon taengkah Zion nu rhoek ke hmu uh lah. A lueinah hnin neh a lungbuei kohoenah hnin ah anih te a manu loh rhuisam neh a khuem.
Go out, O daughters of Jerusalem, and see King Solomon, with the crown which his mother put on his head on the day when he was married, and on the day of the joy of his heart.
