Solomon La 1
1 Solomon ni a thut e lanaw thung dawk e la lah ao.
The Song of Songs, that [is] of Solomon.
2 Pahni hoi paconae hoi kai hah na paco haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nange lungpatawnae teh misurtui hlak ahawihnawn.
Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth, For better [are] your loves than wine.
3 Na kâhluk e hmuitui ni na kaying toe. Nange na min teh awi e hmuitui lah ao. Hatdawkvah tanglakacuemnaw ni nang teh na lungpataw awh.
For fragrance [are] your good perfumes. Perfume emptied out—your name, Therefore have virgins loved you!
4 Kai hah na hrawi nateh, karanglah yawng lei sei. Nang siangpahrang ni kai teh amae inae khan thung na kaw toe. Nang dawk ka lunghawi vaiteh ka konawm han. Na lungpatawnae hah misurtui hlak ka pouk han. Nang teh na lungpataw katang awh.
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 Oe Jerusalem canu, kai teh Kedar rim patetlah ka tamang eiteh, Solomon siangpahrang e im dawk yap e hni patetlah a mei kahawi.
I [am] dark and lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, as tents of Kedar, as curtains of Solomon.
6 Ka tamang poung e kaie ka takthai kecu dawk, kahawi hoeh lah na hmawt awh han. Ka manu e capanaw ni kai koe a lungkhuek awh teh, misur takhanaw hah, ka ring hanelah ka rakueng awh toe. Kaie misur takha teh ka ring hoeh.
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 Kaie ka lungthin thung dawk Ka pahren e tami, na tuhu hah nâ e hmuen koe vaimoe, a khoum awh vaiyoe, kanîthun vah na e hmuen koe vaimoe a kâhat sak vaiyoe. Kai hah na dei pouh haw. Kai teh bangkongmaw na hui tuhu naw rahak vah hro e patetlah khuet ka o han va.
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 Napuinaw thung dawk a mei kahawipoung e lah na Oe na ka panuek hoehpawiteh, tunaw e hnukkâbang haw. Tukhoumnaw e rim teng vah, nange hmaeca hah rawca poe haw.
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!

To my joyous one in chariots of Pharaoh, I have compared you, my friend,
10 Nange na tamboungnaw teh talung phu kaawm poung e lah ao teh, na lahuen teh suidingyin hoi na meihawi poung.
Your cheeks have been lovely with garlands, your neck with chains.
11 Nang hanelah ngun hoi sak e suihnapacap hai kaimouh ni na sak pouh han.
We make garlands of gold for you, with studs of silver!
12 Nang siangpahrang teh ahnie caboi dawk na tahung nah kai koehoi, ka tho e hmuitui hmui ni kaying e lah ao.
While the king [is] in his circle, My spikenard has given its fragrance.

A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me, Between my breasts it lodges.

A cluster of cypress [is] my beloved to me, In the vineyards of En-Gedi!
15 Ka pahren e ka tawncanu, nang teh na mei ahawipoung. Na hawi poung. Nange na mit teh bakhu mit na tawn.
Behold, you [are] beautiful, my friend, Behold, you [are] beautiful, your eyes [are] doves!
