Song of Solomon 3
1 On my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.
Mounu: Jan khat khun chunga sa-mang kajal laijin, ka goldeipa ka lhangai lheh-e. Kalhangai lheh jeng in, hinlah ama ahung poi.
2 I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and squares. I will seek the one I love. So I sought him but did not find him.
Hijeh chun, “Keima kithoudoh-ing katin khopi tolsungah vahle in, lamlen-lamkah ningkoi jouse ah ka goldeipa gahol le inge,” tin ka kigel tai. Hiti chun ka gahol le in, hinlah ka gamu joupoi.
3 I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city: “Have you seen the one I love?”
Kholai vengtup jan khongah hon lamkah-a eina khamtang uvin, chuin keiman amaho jah-a, “Ka goldeipa chu namu khah uvem?” tin kadong’e.
4 I had just passed them when I found the one I love. I held him and would not let go until I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
Amaho ka dalhah jouchet’na ka goldeipa kamu-mu chun, ka nailut in ka tuhchah jeng tan, chuin kapenna indan, kanu insung ah ka puilut tai.
5 O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
Vo Jerusalem chanute, loujaova sapeng le sakhi min pan’a katem nahiuve; achama ahung kipatdoh ngal lou leh kideina hi nanghon tildoh tho ding le suhkhah-tho din got dauvin.
6 Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, scented with myrrh and frankincense from all the spices of the merchant?
Zailom: Ipi hitantem hiche gamthip lama kon’a meikhu lom banga kijel doh letlut pi khu? Ipi hitan tem Myrrh gim namtwi chule sumkol veiho gimnamtwi kilhut nam bang jeng hi?
7 Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty of the mightiest men of Israel.
Veuvin, hiche khu Solomon khunjon ahi in, avengtup din Israel sunga gamngah-galsat son-um pen pasal thahat somgup in ahin jui uve.
8 All are skilled with the sword, experienced in warfare. Each has his sword at his side prepared for the terror of the night.
Amaho khu chemjam peithem cheh, galsat them cheh ahiuve. Chemjam a kiko sohkei uvin, janteng koiyin lengpa hin bulu jongleh avengdoh ding sadema kimansa ahiuve.
9 King Solomon has made his carriage out of the timber of Lebanon.
Leng Solomon loupitah-a akijonna khunjon hi Lebanon gam'a thing phapen’a kisem ahi.
10 He has made its posts of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple fabric. Its interior is inlaid with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.
Akhun jon akhom-ajol chengse chu dangka jeng in a kisem in, achung khu khu sana songmantam in akitom in, apondal-ho chu pon san dup val lheng ahi. Hichu Jerusalem chanu ten ngailutna jouse puma ajep-hoisel’u khunjon ahi.
11 Come out, O daughters of Zion, and gaze at King Solomon, wearing the crown his mother bestowed on the day of his wedding— the day of his heart’s rejoicing.
Mounu: Vo Jerusalem chanute, hung uvin lang Leng Solomon hi hung ve tem’un. Aman akipa thanop napen, ajinei nia anun lallukhuh apeh chu akikhuh-in ahi.
