Song of Solomon 1
1 The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.
KE Mele o na mele, na Solomona no ia,
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for thy love is better than wine.
E honi mai ia'u i na honi o kona waha; No ka mea, ua oi aku kou aloha i ka waina.
3 Thine oils have a good fragrance. Thy name is oil poured forth. Therefore the virgins love thee.
No ke ala o kou mea poni maikai, Ua like kou inoa me ka aila ala i nininiia; No ia mea, ua aloha mai na kaikamahine ia oe.
4 Draw me, we will run after thee. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in thee. We will make mention of thy love more than of wine. Rightly do they love thee.
E ume mai ia'u, e hahai makou mamuli ou. Ua hookomo mai ke alii ia'u iloko o kona keena; E hauoli makou, a e olioli hoi ia oe; E hoomanao makou i kou aloha mamua o ka waina; Ua aloha aku ka poe pono ia oe.
5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Ua eleele au, ua maikai no nae, E na kaikamahine o Ierusalema; E like me na halelewa o Kedara, E like hoi me na paku lole o Solomona.
6 Look not upon me, because I am swarthy, because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were incensed against me. They made me keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept.
Mai nana mai oukou ia'u, no ka mea, ua eleele au, No ka nana ana mai o ka la ia'u. Ua huhu mai ia'u na keiki a ko'u makuwahine, Ua hoolilo mai lakou ia'u i mea kiai i na malawaina; Aka hoi, o ka'u malawaina, aole au i malama.
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loves, where thou feed thy flock, where thou make it to rest at noon. For why should I be as she who is veiled beside the flocks of thy companions?
E hai mai ia'u, e ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i, Aila ihea oe i hanai mai. Mahea la oe i hoomaha ai i ke awakea? No ke aha la wau i lilo ai, Me ho wahine la i uhiia, Ma na poe hipa a kou mau hoanoho?
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
Ina, aole oe i ike, E ka mea maikai mawaena o na wahine, E hele oe ma na kapuwai o ka poe hipa, E hanai i kau poe kao keiki, Ma kahi kokoke i na halelewa o ka poe kahuhipa.
9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
Ua hoohalike au ia oe, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, Me he lio wahine la iloko o na kaa o Parao.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with plaits of hair, thy neck with strings of jewels.
Ua hoonaniia kou papalina i na kaula momi, A o kou a-i i na lei maikai.
11 We will make thee plaits of gold with studs of silver.
E hana makou nou i na kaula gula, A me na kaula hoi i paukuia i ke kala.
12 While the king sat at his table, my spikenard sent forth its fragrance.
I ka noho pu ana o ke alii me kona poe, Ua moani aku la ko'u mea ala.
13 My beloved is to me a bundle of myrrh that lies between my breasts.
O ka'u mea i aloha'i, he pua mura no ia na'u, E moe iho la ia mawaena o ko'u poli.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna-flowers in the vineyards of En-gedi.
O ka'u mea i aloha'i, he lala kupero ia na'u, No ka malawaina mai o Enegedi.
15 Behold, thou are fair, my love, behold thou are fair. Thine eyes are doves.
Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, He nani kou, he mau maka manu nunu kou.
16 Behold, thou are fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant. Also our couch is green.
Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, he maikai hoi; Ua omaomao no hoi ko kaua wahi moe.
17 The beams of our house are cedars, our rafters are firs.
Na kaola o ko kaua hale, he laau kedera ia, A me ko kaua mau oa, he laau fira.
