< Solomon La 1 >

1 Solomon ni a thut e lanaw thung dawk e la lah ao.
The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.
2 Pahni hoi paconae hoi kai hah na paco haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nange lungpatawnae teh misurtui hlak ahawihnawn.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better 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.
Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured forth, therefore the virgins love 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.
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 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, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar's tents, like Solomon's curtains.
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 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 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.
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 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, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds' tents.
9 Ka pahren e tawncanu, nang teh Faro siangpahrang e ranglengnaw thung dawk e marang hoi na bangnue.
I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Nange na tamboungnaw teh talung phu kaawm poung e lah ao teh, na lahuen teh suidingyin hoi na meihawi poung.
Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
11 Nang hanelah ngun hoi sak e suihnapacap hai kaimouh ni na sak pouh han.
We will make you earrings of gold, 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 sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
13 Kai ni ka pahren e nang e, murah hmuitui tabu ca teh, kaie lungtabue dawkvah rum touh thung ao.
My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.
14 Kai ni ka pahren e nang teh, kai hanelah Engedi misur takha dawk e Henna pei patetlah ao.
My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from 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.
Look, you are beautiful, my love. Look, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves.
16 Kai ni ka pahren e nang teh na mei ahawipoung. Ngai a tho poung. Ka lung a nawm sak. Maimae ikhun teh hringsuepcalah ao.
Look, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant.
17 Maimae im khomnaw teh, Sidar thing, a lemphu teh hmaicathing e doeh.
The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.
