Solomon La 2
1 Kai teh Sharon e rosi pei hoi kâvan teh ayawn dawk e lili pei lah ka o.
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 Ka pahren e nang teh, ka lungpataw e tangla, pâkhingum e, lili pei patetlah na o.
As a lily amongst thorns, so is my love amongst the daughters.
3 Kahrawngum ka paw e Epal thingkung patetlah ka pahren nang teh, thoundounnaw e rahak na o. Kai teh ahnie tâhlip dawk kanawmca lah ka o teh, a paw teh kai hanelah a radip poung oe.
As the apple tree amongst the trees of the wood, so is my beloved amongst the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 Ahni ni kai teh buvennae im koe na hrawi teh, kaie lathueng a yap e hni teh a lungpatawnae doeh.
He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner over me is love.
5 Kai teh ngaipatawnae hoi ka o dawkvah misur hoi Epal paw hoi lung bout na pahawi haw.
Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love.
6 Ahnie avoilae a kut ka lû rahim a ta teh, aranglae kut hoi na takawi na seh.
His left hand is under my head. His right hand embraces me.
7 Oe Jerusalem canu ka pahren e teh, a mahmawk a kâhlaw hoeh roukrak na pâhlaw awh hoeh nahanelah, kahrawng e sayuk sakhinaw thoebo laihoi nangmouh teh lawk na thui awh.
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
8 Khenhaw! ka pahren e lawk doeh. Montang monruinaw yawngtapue laihoi a tho.
The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
9 Ka pahren e teh, sayuk sakhi ca patetlah ao. Rapan lawilah a kangdue. Hlalangaw koe a khet teh, hlalangaw koe a kâpâtue.
My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.
10 Ka pahren ni na kaw teh, a dei e lawk teh, ka pahren poung e tangla, a meikahawi e, thaw nateh tho haw.
My beloved spoke, and said to me, “Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
11 Khenhaw! kasik hai aloum teh cotui hai abaw toe.
For behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone.
12 Talai van vah, a peinaw a kamhlawng toe. Tavanaw hai a cainae tue a pha toe. Maimae ram vah, bakhu lawk hai thai toe.
The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13 Thaibunglung kung a pawnaw hai a hmin toe. Misurkung hai a pei teh, a hmuitui toe. Ka pahren e ka imlawinu, a meikahawi poung e, thaw nateh tho leih.
The fig tree ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom. They give out their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.”
14 Lungsong rahak e bakhu, na mei heh na hmawt sak haw. Na lawk hai na thaisak haw. Na lawk a rading teh na mei teh ngai ao poung.
My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountainside, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.
15 Maimae misurnaw teh a pei lahun toung dawkvah, misurkungnaw ka raphoe hane Asuinaw hoi Asuicanaw hah man awh.
Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that plunder the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.
16 Kaie ka pahren e teh kai hanelah ao e patetlah kai hai ahni hanelah ka o. Ahni teh tucahunaw hah kahrawngum a khoum teh a kawkhik.
My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses amongst the lilies.
17 Khohmo a kahma teh, khodai totouh ka pahren teh Bether mon dawk e sayuk sakhi patetlah doeh ao.
Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.
