< 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 thy friend gone, O fairest of women? whither hath thy friend turned himself? that we may seek him with thee?—
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 beloved is gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed 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 friend's, and my friend is mine: he that feedeth 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.
Thou art beautiful, O my beloved, like Thirzah, comely like Jerusalem, terrible as armies encamped round their banners.
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 thy eyes from me, for they have excited me: thy hair is like a flock of goats that come quietly down from mount Gil'ad.
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.
Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes which are come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and there is not one among them that is deprived of her young.
7 Na minhmai ramuknae thung kaawm e na tangboungnaw teh talepaw tangawntangai hoi a kâvan.
Like the half of the pomegranate is the upper part of thy cheek behind thy vail.
8 Siangpahrang napui 60, a yu ado lah 80, touklek thai hoeh e tanglakacuemnaw ao.
Sixty are the queens, and eighty the concubines, and the young women 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.
But one alone is my dove, my guiltless one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the chosen of her that bore her: maidens see her, and call her happy; yea, queens and concubines, and 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 shineth forth like the morning-dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as armies encamped round their banners?
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.
Into the nut-garden was I gone down, to look about among the plants of the valley, to see whether the vine had blossomed, whether the pomegranates had budded.
12 Kai ka panue hoehnahlan vah, ka muitha teh, Aminadab leng dawk kâcuie patetlah ao.
I knew not [how it was], my soul made me [like] the chariots of my noble people.
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 Shulammith; return, return, that we may look upon thee. “What will ye see in the Shulammith?” As though it were the dance of a double company.
