Solomon Laa 8
1 U long nim nang te a nu rhangsuk dongkah ka manuca cahni bangla n'khueh lah sue. Nang te poeng ah kam hmuh tih namah kam mok akhaw kai he n'hnoelrhoeng pawt sue.
O that you were as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find you without, I would kiss you; yea, I should not be despised.
2 Namah te kan hmaithawn vetih nang te kai aka tukkil a nu im la kang khuen lah mako. Nang te kamah kah tale thingtui, anhoi misur kan tul sue.
I would lead you, and bring you into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3 A banvoei kut te ka lu hmuiah om saeh lamtah a bantang kut loh kai n'kop saeh.
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4 Jerusalem nu rhoek, nangmih te kan caeng lungnah te a ngaih hlan ah balae tih na haenghang eh?, balae tih na haenghang eh?
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that all of you stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
5 Khosoek lamloh cet tih amah hlo dongah aka hangdang he unim? Thaihthawn hmui ah nang kang haeng tih te ah te na nu nang n'laikoi. Nang n'laikoi nah ah pahoi n'cun.
Who is this that comes up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised you up under the apple tree: there your mother brought you forth: there she brought you forth that bare you.
6 Kai he na lungbuei ah kutbuen bangla, na ban dongah kutbuen bangla n'khueh lah. Lungnah dueknah bangla tlung tih thatlainah khaw saelkhui bangla mangkhak. A hmaino tah hmairhong hmai kah hmaino bangla om. (Sheol h7585)
Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which has a most vehement flame. (Sheol h7585)
7 Lungnah he tui yet loh thih hamla noeng pawt tih tuiva loh a yo moenih. Hlang loh a im kah boeirhaeng boeih te lungnah ham pae cakhaw amah te a hnoelrhoeng lam ni a hnoelrhoeng uh eh.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
8 Mah taengkah ngannu tah noe pueng tih anih te rhangsuk om hlan. Anih te a thui khohnin vaengah mah ngannu ham balae n'saii eh?
We have a little sister, and she has no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9 Anih te vongtung koinih a soah cak lumim n'sak sui tih anih te thohkhaih koinih a taengah lamphai thingphael n'dan pah sue.
If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10 Kamah he vongtung tih ka rhangsuk he rhaltoengim bangla om. Te dongah a mikhmuh ah tah rhoepnah ka hmu la ka om.
I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
11 Baalhamon ah Solomon kah misurdum om. Misurdum te lo hung taengla a paek. A thaih la hlang loh cak thawngkhat a khuen pah.
Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
12 Kamah kah ka misurdum tah kamah mikhmuh ah om. Solomon nang ham thawngkhat saeh lamtah a thaih aka hung rhoek ham te yahnih saeh.
My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
13 Dum ah aka om mah hui rhoek loh na ol a hnatung bangla kai khaw n'yaak sak lah.
You that dwell in the gardens, the companions hearken to your voice: cause me to hear it.
14 Kamah hlo oe yong laeh oe. Namah loh botui tlang ah rhangrhaeh ca neh kirhang khaw puet laeh oe.
Make haste, my beloved, and be you like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
