Solomon Laa 1
1 Laa rhoek khuikah Laa he Solomon kah ni.
The Song of Songs, that [is] of Solomon.
2 Namah hlo tah misurtui lakah then tih a ka dongkah moknah neh kai m'mok lah sue.
Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth, For better [are] your loves than wine.
3 Namah tah situi bo neh na then pai tih situi loh na ming a puem pai. Te dongah ni hula rhoek long nang n'lungnah.
For fragrance [are] your good perfumes. Perfume emptied out—your name, Therefore have virgins loved you!
4 Namah hnukah kai m'mawt lamtah yong mai sih. Kai he manghai loh amah imhman la n' khuen coeng. Rhoihui Namah ah ka omngaih uh tih ka kohoe uh. Nang kah hlo rhoek tah misurtui lakah ka poek uh tih vanat la nang n'lungnah uh.
Draw me: we run after you, The king has brought me into his inner chambers, We delight and rejoice in you, We mention your loves more than wine, Uprightly they have loved you!
5 Ka muem cakhaw Jerusalem nu rhoek tah Kedar dap banglam khaw, Solomon himbaiyan banglam khaw rhoeprhui mai.
I [am] dark and lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, as tents of Kedar, as curtains of Solomon.
6 Khomik loh kai n'hmuh tih ka muem dongah nim kai nan hmuh pawh? Ka manu ca rhoek te kai taengah sai tih misurdum aka hung la kai n'khueh uh. Kamah taengkah ka misurdum ka hung pawt ah.
Do not fear me, because I [am] very dark, Because the sun has 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 Ka hinglu kah a lungnah te kamah taengah thui lah. Melam na luem sak? Khothun ah melam na kol sak? Te boel tah balae tih na hui rhoek kah tuping taengah aka kulup bangla ka om?
Declare to me, you whom my soul has loved, Where you delight, Where you lie down at noon, For why am I as one veiled, By the ranks of your companions?
8 Huta rhoek khuiah sakthen te na ming pawt atah boiva kholaeh ah namah cet. Na maae-ca te aka dawn rhoek kah dungtlungim ah luem sak.
If you do not know, O beautiful among women, Go forth by the traces of the flock, And feed your kids by the shepherds’ dwellings!
9 Ka cangyaeh namah tah Pharaoh leng dongkah ka marhang manu kam puet sak.
To my joyous one in chariots of Pharaoh, I have compared you, my friend,
10 Na kam te aitlaeng neh, na rhawn khaw oidik neh damyal mai.
Your cheeks have been lovely with garlands, your neck with chains.
11 Nang hamla sui aitlaeng neh cak hnathawn khaw n'saii bitni.
We make garlands of gold for you, with studs of silver!
12 Kamah kah rhai-ul tah manghai amah loh a caboei dongah a hmuehmuei la a khueh.
While the king [is] in his circle, My spikenard has given its fragrance.
13 Kamah hlo kah murrah cun tah kamah ham ka rhangsuk laklo ah rhaeh coeng.
A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me, Between my breasts it lodges.
14 Kamah taengkah kamah hlo tah Engedi misurdum kah tlansum thaihsu ni.
A cluster of cypress [is] my beloved to me, In the vineyards of En-Gedi!
15 Ka cangyaeh tah na rhoep ne, vahui na mik khaw na sakthen ne.
Behold, you [are] beautiful, my friend, Behold, you [are] beautiful, your eyes [are] doves!
16 Ka hlo nang tah na sakthen ne, mah kah soengca hingsuep khaw naepnoi bal.
Behold, you [are] beautiful, my love, indeed, pleasant, Indeed, our bed [is] green,
17 Lamphai tah mah im kah tungpum saeh lamtah hmaical tah mah kah paekhop saeh.
The beams of our houses [are] cedars, Our rafters [are] firs, I [am] a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys!
