Song of Solomon 3
1 On my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.
MALUNA o ko'u wahi moe, i ka po, Ua imi au i ka'u mea i aloha'i; Imi au ia ia, aole nae i loaa.
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.
E ku au iluna, ano, e hele a puni ke kulanakauhale, Ma na alanui, a me na wahi akea, E imi i ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i; Ua imi au ia ia, aole nae i loaa.
3 I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city: “Have you seen the one I love?”
Ua loaa au i ka poe kiai, Ka poe hele a puni ke kulanakauhale; I aku la au, Ua ike anei oukou i ka'u mea i aloha'i?
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.
Aole liuliu ko'u hele ana mai o lakou aku, A loaa mai ia'u ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i; Ua lalau au ia ia, aole nae e hookuu aku; A hookomo au ia ia iloko o ka hale o ko'u makuwahine, A iloko o ke keena o ka mea nana au i hanau mai.
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.
Ke kauoha aku nei au ia oukou, e na kaikamahine o Ierusalema, Ma na anetelope a me na dia o ke kula, E hooluliluli ole aku oukou, a e hoala ole i ka'u mea i aloha'i, a ala wale mai ia.
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?
Owai keia e hoea mai ana mai ka waonahele mai, E like me na punohu uwahi? Ua moani mai kona mura, a me koua libano, A me na mea ala a pau a ka mea kalepa.
7 Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty of the mightiest men of Israel.
Aia hoi, o kona wahi e moe ai, no Solomona ia, He kanaono kanaka koa [e ku ana] a puni ia, He poe ikaika o ka Iseraela.
8 All are skilled with the sword, experienced in warfare. Each has his sword at his side prepared for the terror of the night.
Ua lalau lakou a pau i na pahikaua, He poe akamai lakou i ke kaua; Aia no ka pahi a kela mea keia mea ma kona uha, No ka makau i ka po.
9 King Solomon has made his carriage out of the timber of Lebanon.
Hana iho la ke alii o Solomona i hale auamo nona, I ka laau o Lebanona.
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.
Hana iho la oia i na kia he kala; A o ke kino, hana iho la i ke gula; O ka noho ona, he mea ulaula ia; Ua kipapaia kona walua i ke aloha, No na kaikamahine mai o Ierusalema.
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.
E puka iwaho, e na kaikamahine o Ziona, a e ike i ke alii ia Solomona, Me kona papale alii, ka mea a kona makuwahine i kau maluna ona, I kona la i mareia'i, i ka la i olioli ai kona naau.
