< Solomon Laa 2 >
1 Kai tah Sharon rhaimoei neh tuikol kah tuilipai ni.
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 Mutlo hling puem kah tuilipai bangla tanu lakli tah kamah cangyaeh van pawn ni.
As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3 Duup thing lakli thaihthawn kah bangla tongpa lakli ah tah kamah hlo van pawn ni. A hlipkhup ah ka naep tih ka ngol vaengah a thaih khaw ka dang dongah didip mai.
As an apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. Under its shadow I delighted to sit, and its fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 Misur im la kai n'khuen tih kai soah amah kah lungnah hnitai a hlaek.
He hath brought me to the banqueting-house, and his banner over me is love.
5 Ka lungnah he a tloh dongah yukhap neh kai n'duel tih thaihthawn neh kai n'caih sak.
'Stay ye me with dainties, refresh me with apples; for I am love-sick.'
6 A banvoei kut te ka lu hmui la a tloeng tih a bantang kut loh kai n'kop.
Let his left hand be under my head, and his right hand embrace me.
7 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 adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, that ye awaken not, nor stir up love, until it please.'
8 Kai hlo ol tah tlang dong a poe, mol dong a buem tih ha pawk coeng he.
Hark! my beloved! behold, he cometh, leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
9 Kamah hlo tah kirhang neh rhangrhaeh ca aka puet ni. Mah kah thoh hlip ah pai he ne, bangbuet lamloh m'hmaitang tih thohhuel lamloh khooi.
My beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart; behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh in through the windows, he peereth through the lattice.
10 Kamah hlo loh n'doo tih kai taengah, “Ka sakthen neh ka cangyaeh nang te thoo laeh, nang mah halo laeh,” a ti.
My beloved spoke, and said unto me: 'Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 Sikding, sikding a poeng atah khonal mael tih amah la cet coeng he.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 Diklai ah rhaipai phoe tih laa sak tue pai. Mah khohmuen ah vahu ol n'yaak coeng.
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 Thaibu a haengkang te hminkhah coeng tih, misur thaihmoe loh hmuehmuei a yal coeng. Thoo laeh oe, ka sakthen neh ka cangyaeh nang te lo dae lamtah namah mah lo laeh.
The fig-tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines in blossom give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14 Ka vahui aw, thaelpang thaelrhaep ah khaw, longpoeng huephael ah khaw na mueimae te kai n'tueng lah. Na ol te tui tih na mueimae a rhoeprhui dongah na ol te ka yaak lah mako.
O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.'
15 Mah misurdum tah a thaihmoe dongah misurdum aka phae maetang, maetang ca rhoek te mah hamla tu sih.
'Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.'
16 Kamah hlo tah kamah ham saeh lamtah kai khaw anih hamla tuilipai lakli ah ka luem.
My beloved is mine, and I am his, that feedeth among the lilies.
17 Khothaih thoeng tih khokhawn a rhaelrham hil khaw mael laeh. Kai hlo nang loh tlang naeng kah kirhang neh rhangrhaeh ca khaw puet lah.
Until the day breathe, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a gazelle or a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
