Song of Solomon 1
1 This is Solomon’s Song of Songs.
Laa rhoek khuikah Laa he Solomon kah ni.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is more delightful than wine.
Namah hlo tah misurtui lakah then tih a ka dongkah moknah neh kai m'mok lah sue.
3 The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens adore you.
Namah tah situi bo neh na then pai tih situi loh na ming a puem pai. Te dongah ni hula rhoek long nang n'lungnah.
4 Take me away with you—let us hurry! May the king bring me to his chambers. We will rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right that they adore you.
Namah hnukah kai m'mawt lamtah yong mai sih. Kai he manghai loh amah imhman la n' khuen coeng. Namah ah ka omngaih uh tih ka kohoe uh. Nang kah hlo rhoek tah misurtui lakah ka poek uh tih vanat la nang n'lungnah uh.
5 I am dark, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
Ka muem cakhaw Jerusalem nu rhoek tah Kedar dap banglam khaw, Solomon himbaiyan banglam khaw rhoeprhui mai.
6 Do not stare because I am dark, for the sun has gazed upon me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have neglected.
Khomik loh kai n'hmuh tih ka muem dongah nim kai nan hmuh pawh? Ka manu ca rhoek te kai taengah sai tih misurdum aka hung la kai n'khueh uh. Kamah taengkah ka misurdum ka hung pawt ah.
7 Tell me, O one I love, where do you pasture your sheep? Where do you rest them at midday? Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your companions?
Ka hinglu kah a lungnah te kamah taengah thui lah. Melam na luem sak? Khothun ah melam na kol sak? Te boel tah balae tih na hui rhoek kah tuping taengah aka kulup bangla ka om?
8 If you do not know, O fairest of women, follow the tracks of the flock, and graze your young goats near the tents of the shepherds.
Huta rhoek khuiah sakthen te na ming pawt atah boiva kholaeh ah namah cet. Na maae-ca te aka dawn rhoek kah dungtlungim ah luem sak.
9 I compare you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.
Ka cangyaeh namah tah Pharaoh leng dongkah ka marhang manu kam puet sak.
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
Na kam te aitlaeng neh, na rhawn khaw oidik neh damyal mai.
11 We will make you ornaments of gold, studded with beads of silver.
Nang hamla sui aitlaeng neh cak hnathawn khaw n'saii bitni.
12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
Kamah kah rhai-ul tah manghai amah loh a caboei dongah a hmuehmuei la a khueh.
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
Kamah hlo kah murrah cun tah kamah ham ka rhangsuk laklo ah rhaeh coeng.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi.
Kamah taengkah kamah hlo tah Engedi misurdum kah tlansum thaihsu ni.
15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how very beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.
Ka cangyaeh tah na rhoep ne, vahui na mik khaw na sakthen ne.
16 How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how delightful! The soft grass is our bed.
Ka hlo nang tah na sakthen ne, mah kah soengca hingsuep khaw naepnoi bal.
17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are fragrant firs.
Lamphai tah mah im kah tungpum saeh lamtah hmaical tah mah kah paekhop saeh.
