Solomon Labu 8
1 Mounu: Kasopi pasal, kanu noitwija kivahdohpa chu ana hile chun ka titave! Chutileh hoikom hihen, koijin eihin ve jongleh nahin chop jing thei ing kating, koiman jong ei seise thei ponte.
How I wish you were like a brother to me, one who nursed at my mother's breasts! Then if I met you on the street I could kiss you and no one would tell me off.
2 Chuteng neolaija ka chennau in ah napui ing-katin, kideije ki kihil tante. Hichea chun muinam thet lengpitwi na donsah ingting, ka kolbuthei jutwi lhum jet chu ka donsah ding nahi.
Then I could take you home to my mother's house, where she used to teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranate.
3 Naban veilang ka lukhap hintin, naban jet lang in eikoi tante.
He supports my head with his left hand, and holds me close with his right.
4 Vo Jerusalem chanute, kijoldeina kiti hi aphat didol tah alhin kahsea nanghon kaithoulou ding in kitem uvin.
Women of Jerusalem, swear to me that you won't disturb our love until the right time.
5 Zailom: Gamthip’a kon hungpheija, agoldei chunga kingailha khu koi hija? Ka hin thoukhang tai hiche theithup phungnoi, na chunnun nahin pensahna, sonat na hin thohpi na mun’a chun.
Who is this coming in from the wilderness holding her love close to her? Woman: I woke you up under the apple tree where your mother conceived you, and where she gave birth to you.
6 Mounu: Na-anglaija Mohor (Namdet melchih) kinam bang in neikoi jin, ajeh chu ngailutna hi thina toh kibanga thahattah ahin, kideina-a kon kithangsetna hi lhankhuh sunga ki um’a kithohgim tobang ahi. Kigoldeina hi meikong banga deo jejua, chule meikong lah-a akoupen tobang ahi. (Sheol h7585)
Stamp my name as a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm, for love is strong as death, passion as unyielding as the grave—its arrows flash like fire, a blazing flame of the Lord. (Sheol h7585)
7 Kingailutna hi twi ijat in jong achap mit joupon, vadung hon jong alhohmit joulou ahi. Khat touvin ngailutna hi anei-agou jousen chohtho ding gotaleh, alunggot chu imacha hidehlou ding ahi.
Floods of water cannot extinguish love; rivers cannot submerge it. If a man offered everything he owned in order to buy love he would be completely rejected.
8 Zailom: Keihon sopi numei kumdong, a-ang jong bohdoh nailou khat kanei jui. Khat touvin chongmou din thumna hung nei taleh, ka sopinu’u dinga ipi ka bolpeh thei diu ham?
We have a younger sister whose breasts are still small. What shall we do for our sister when someone asks to marry her?
9 Ama hi pal banga ding jangpet nungah theng ahileh, gal panmun sang dangka-a ka sem uva ka venbit diu ahi. Hinlah ama chu kotkha kikaile-kisonle banga detna neilou khat ahileh, ama venna dinga Cedar thinga pal kakam diu ahi.
If she is a wall, we will build a silver tower on it. But if she is a door, we will bar the way with cedar planks.
10 Mounu: Keima pal banga ding jang nungah theng chu kana hi-e, tuhin ka-ang teni hi insang kisa inting vum abang’e. Ka goldeipan eihin vet teng, ka chunga athilmu chung ah alunglhai ngeije.
I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So when he looks at me he's happy!
11 Solomon in Baal-hamon ah lengpilei aneijin, hichu lou natongho asansah-in, amaho jouse chun atheiga man dingin dangka sangkhat apecheh-uve.
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon which he leased to tenant farmers. Each of them paid him one thousand silver coins for the fruit it produced.
12 Hinlah keima lengpilei hi keija mong ahi in, keiman kapeh ding ahi. Solomon in dangka sangkhat eipeh angai poi. Hinla theiga ngah-a pangho vang dangka jani cheh kapeh ding ahi.
But I own my vineyard, it is mine alone. One thousand silver coins are for you, Solomon, and two hundred for those who look after it.
13 Moulang: Honleija cham jing, O ngainu, naloi ten nangma awgin ajah jeh-un avangphauve, keima jong nei jahsah-in.
My darling, sitting there in the gardens with companions listening to you—please talk to me!
14 Mounu: Hung in, O ka ngaipen pa! Muinam theiho pahna lhang chunga sapeng gol le sakhi chalgol bang in chom letan!
Come quickly, my love! Be like a gazelle or a young deer on the mountains of spices.
