Solomon Labu 1
1 Zailom: Hiche hi Solomon la ho lah’a apipen, adang jouse sanga thupi ahi.
The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.
2 Mounu: Neichop in lang, avel in neichop in, ajeh chu nei deibolna chu lengpitwi sang in jong alhumjoi.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.
3 Gimnamtwi nakinu chu iti namtwija hitam, namin ngei hi agim namtwi kitungdoh tobang ahi. Akidang poi, khangdong nungah jousen hibang loma nahin deiju hi!
Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured forth, therefore the virgins love you.
4 Kei jong neipuijin, hung in; kijam ta hite! Lengpan ajalna pindan’ah ei puilut hen. Zailom: Iti kahin kipapiu hitam, O Lengpa. Na milungset dan hi lengpitwi sang in ka ngaisang jouve. Mounu: Nahin ngaisangnau hi adih tangeiye!
Take me away with you. Let us hurry. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine. They are right to love you.
5 Keima ka vouso avom vang'in kamelhoi nai, Vo Jerusalem Chanute-Cedar phaiya ponbuh kisongho banga vom, Solomon pondal banga vom chu ka hinai.
I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar's tents, like Solomon's curtains.
6 Kavouso avom jeh-in, Neihin vehih-uvin-nisan ei kahdup jeh ahibouve. Ka sopi pasal ho ka chung ah alunghang uve, alengpi leiju vekol ding in eino uvin, hijeh chun kei le kei ka kijen joupoi; keima lengpilei ka kivet kol man poi.
Do not stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven't kept my own vineyard.
7 Nei seipeh-in, O goldei, tuni na kelngoi honho hoilama na puiding ham? Sun teng hoikoma na kol sah ding ham? Ajeh chu keima hi noti banga naloi-napaiho chule kelngoite lah’a iti ka vavai le jeng thei ding ham?
Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; For why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions?
8 Moulang: Na het loule, O nungah melhoipen nu; ka kelngoi ho kikaina nung juiyin lang, kelngoi chingho ponbuh vel’a chun na kelchate vah-in.
If you do not know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds' tents.
9 O ka deinu, na nunnop dan hi Pharaoh sakol lagol lah-a khat toh nabang’e.
I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Na bengmai alangtoa hi iti deium hitam! Na bilba tenin asal emsel jeng’e! Nangong jong iti dei um hitam, na sana bilba hung kailha chun ajem hoi be cheh-e.
Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
11 Zailom: Sanavui sempeh-ungting, kicheina ding dangkavui toh thosah-unge.
We will make you earrings of gold, with studs of silver.
12 Mounu: Lengpa jalkhun chung ah alum in, gimnamtwi ka kinu gimnam hi aki tunglut jel jeng’e.
While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13 Ka goldeipa hi ka ang-a Myrrh gim namtwi theineo kikhai abangin ahi.
My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.
14 Ama hi En-gedi lengpileiya henna pahcha-boh toh abange.
My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
15 Moulang: Iti hoiya hoi nahi hitam, O ka goldei nu! Namit teni hi vakho te abang jeng’e.
Look, you are beautiful, my love. Look, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves.
16 Mounu: Nangma jong na hoi ngeije, O goldei, kam’a seidoh jou hoi hilouvin dei na um nalom’e! Hampa dong nem hiuheo khu i-jalkhun lhon ding in alom e.
Look, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant.
17 Namtwi tah Cedar thingbah ho jeng jong i-inkam lhon ding in apang uvin, chahthing ho jeng jong i-insun lhon ding in apang’uve.
The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.
