Solomon La 8
1 Nang koe kaie manu e sanutui karadip e, ka net e, ka thangroi patetlah o sak han ka ngai. Kai ni nang teh, alawilah kâhmo vaiteh, na paco nakunghai ayânaw ni kai teh na pathoe mahoeh.
Oh that you were like my brother, who nursed from the breasts of my mother! If I found you outside, I would kiss you; yes, and no one would despise me.
2 Anu e irakhan na kut dawk hoi na hrawi vaiteh na ceikhai han. Ahni ni hai kai hai na cangkhai han. Kai ni tâsi hoi kalawt e misurtui hoi taletui hah na nei sak han.
I would lead you, bringing you into the house of my mother, who would instruct me. I would have you drink spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranate.
3 Ahnie avoilah, e kut kaie ka lû rahim a hruek vaiteh, aranglae kut hoi na takawi seh.
His left hand would be under my head. His right hand would embrace me.
4 Oe Jerusalem canunaw, ka pahren e teh amahmawk a kâhlaw hoehroukrak na pâhlaw awh hoeh nahanelah, kahrawng e sayuk sakhinaw noe lahoi lawk na thui awh.
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
5 A pahren dawk kamngawi laihoi kahrawngum hoi ka tho e hateh api han namaw. Epal thingkung rahim nang teh na pâhlaw toe. Hote hmuen koe nange na manu ni nang teh na hâ toe. Hote hmuen koe nang na khe teh, hâ e lah na hruek toe.
Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Beloved Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother conceived you. There she was in labour and bore you.
6 Kai teh nange na lung dawkvah tacik na kin leih lah. Na kut dawk hai tacik na kin leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungpatawnae teh, due e patetlah a thao. Dipmanae lungthin teh phuen kho patetlah a ru. Ahnie a hue teh, hmaisaan hoi hmaito patetlah ao. (Sheol h7585)
Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD. (Sheol h7585)
7 Hatnavah, tuinaw ni lungpatawnae roum sak thai hoeh. Tuikalen ni hai pâyawt thai hoeh. Tami ni ama im kaawm hnopai pueng lungpatawnae lahoi poe han a ngai nakunghai puenghoi dudamnae doeh kâhmo ti.
Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.
8 Kaimouh koevah kanaw rae ka tawncanu buet touh ao rah. Ahni teh sanu co hoeh rah. Hote ka tawncanu a pacei awh navah, ahni hanelah bangtelamaw ka ti awh han.
We have a little sister. She has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is to be spoken for?
9 Ahni teh rapan lah awm pawiteh, ahni van ngunrapan ka sak han. Takhang lah awm pawiteh Sidar thing hoi ka kalup han.
If she is a wall, we will build on her a turret of silver. If she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10 Kai teh kho rapan lah ka o. Kaie sanu hai imrasang patetlah o. Hatdawkvah, kai teh nang na hmalah hawinae ka sak.
I am a wall, and my breasts like towers, then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.
11 Baalhamon ram dawk takha buet touh ao. Hote misur takha teh, karingkungnaw koe ka hlai sak teh a paw a ca phu lah shekel thawng touh rip a sin awh.
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon. He leased out the vineyard to keepers. Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
12 Ka tawn e misur takha teh kahma lah ao. Oe Solomon, ngun shekel thong touh nama hanelah ao teh, karingkungnaw ni cumhni touh rip a la awh.
My own vineyard is before me. The thousand are for you, Solomon, two hundred for those who tend its fruit.
13 Takha thung kaawm e, nange tami na huikonaw ni nange na lawk teh a ngai awh. Kai hai na thaisak van awh haw.
You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice!
14 Ka pahren nang kai koe karanglah tho leih. Hmuitui monnaw dawk kaawm e sayuk sakhicanaw patetlah na awm sak haw.
Come away, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!
