Solomon La 6
1 Napuinaw thung dawk a mei kahawipoung e ka tawncanu, nange na pahren e teh nâ e hmuen koe maw a cei vai. Kaimouh ni nang hoi reirei tawng hanelah, nange pahren e teh, namaw na kâceihlinghlang roi tie hah dei haw.
Whither is your kinsman gone, you beautiful among women? whither has your kinsman turned aside? [tell us], and we will seek him with you.
2 Ka pahren teh, a pawnaw cat vaiteh, lili peinaw ka la han a titeh, takha thung hmuitui onae koe lah a cei toe.
My kinsman is gone down to his garden, to the beds of spice, to feed [his flock] in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
3 Ka pahren hanelah kai teh ka o. Ka pahren hai kai hanelah ao. Ayawn dawk ka pouh e lah ao.
I am my kinsman's, and my kinsman is mine, who feeds among the lilies.
4 Ka pahren e ka tawncanu, nang teh Tirzah kho patetlah na mei ahawi. Jerusalem kho patetlah ngai ao. Taran kâtuknae koe e patetlah taki kawi lah na o.
You are fair, my companion, as Pleasure, beautiful as Jerusalem, terrible as [armies] set in array.
5 Nange na mit teh, kai koehoi alouklah kangvawi leih. Ahnimouh ni kai teh na tâ toe. Nange na san teh, Gilead mon hoi ka kum e hmaehu patetlah ao.
Turn away your eyes from before me, for they have ravished me: your hair is as flocks of goats which have appeared from Galaad.
6 Nange na hânaw teh tui pâhluknae koehoi ka luen e tuhu patetlah ao. Buet touh hai kahmat hoeh. Kamphei e dueng doeh a khe awh.
Your teeth are as flocks of shorn [sheep], that have gone up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and there is none barren among them: your lips are as a thread of scarlet, and your speech is comely.
7 Na minhmai ramuknae thung kaawm e na tangboungnaw teh talepaw tangawntangai hoi a kâvan.
Your cheek is like the rind of a pomegranate, [being seen] without your veil.
8 Siangpahrang napui 60, a yu ado lah 80, touklek thai hoeh e tanglakacuemnaw ao.
There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.
9 Kaie bakhu, kaie ka kuep e, buet touh dueng doeh kaawm. Ahni ka khe e manu ni a pahren poung e lah ao. Tanglanaw ni ahni hah a hmu teh, yawhawi a poe awh. Siangpahrangnu hoi a yudonaw ni hai ahni teh a pholen awh.
My dove, my perfect one is one; she is the [only] one of her mother; she is the choice of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and the queens will pronounce her blessed, yes, and the concubines, and they will praise her.
10 Thapa patetlah ahawi teh, kanî patetlah a sei teh, tarankâtuknae koe e patetlah taki hanlah na o. Amom patetlah ngaihawi laihoi ka khen e teh apimaw.
Who is this that looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, choice as the sun, terrible as [armies] set in array?
11 Kai teh misurkung roung hai a roung hoeh hai, Tale a pei hoi a pei hoeh e hai panue hanelah, ka khetyawt hanelah takha koe ka cei.
I went down to the garden of nuts, to look at the fruits of the valley, to see if the vine flowered, [if] the pomegranates blossomed.
12 Kai ka panue hoehnahlan vah, ka muitha teh, Aminadab leng dawk kâcuie patetlah ao.
There I will give you my breasts: my soul knew [it] not: it made me as the chariots of Aminadab.
13 Oe Sulammit, bout tho haw. Kaimouh ni nang teh na hmu thai nahanelah bout tho haw. Bout tho haw. Sulammit dawk bang hno maw a hmu awh han vai. Ransahu bokhni touh e patetlah a hmu awh han.
Return, return, O Sunamite; return, return, and we will look at you. What will you see in the Sunamite? She comes as bands of armies.
