Song of Songs 3
1 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he listened not to me.
Ka hinglu kah a lungnah te khoyin ah ka thingkong dongah ka tlap. Anih te ka tlap dae amah ka hmuh moenih.
2 I will rise now, and go about in the city, in the marketplaces, and in the streets, and I will seek him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I found him not.
Ka thoo laeh vetih kho khopuei khui neh imdak ah khaw, toltung ah khaw ka hil mako. Ka hinglu loh a lungnah te ka tlap laeh mako. Anih te ka tlap dae amah ka hmuh moenih.
3 The watchmen who go their rounds in the city found me. [I said], Have you seen him whom my soul loves?
Khopuei te a hil tih aka tawt rhoek loh kai m'hmuh uh. Ka hinglu kah a lungnah te na hmuh uh nim?
4 [It was] as a little [while] after I parted from them, that I found him whom my soul loves: I held him, and did not let him go, until I brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
Amih lamloh vel ka poeng vaengah ka hinglu kah a lungnah te ka hmuh. Amah te ka tuuk tih a nu im hil neh kai n'yom nah imkhui hil amah ka khuen duela anih te ka hlah pawh.
5 I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and by the virtues of the field, that you rouse not nor awake [my] love, until he please.
Jerusalem nu rhoek nang te kan caeng coeng. Kohong kah sakhi rhuinu long khaw sayuk long khaw n'haeng boel saeh. Lungnah loh a ngaih duela haenghang boeh.
6 Who is this that comes up from the wilderness as pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the perfumer?
Myrrah a phum neh thimpom vaidik boeih lamkah hmueihtui tah hmaikhu tung bangla khosoek lamloh aka cet he unim?
7 Behold Solomon's bed; sixty mighty men of the mighty ones of Israel are round about it.
Solomon taengkah a baiphaih aih ke. A kaepvai kah hlangrhalh sawmrhuk rhoek khaw Israel hlangrhalh khui lamkah ni.
8 They all hold a sword, being expert in war: every man [has] his sword upon his thigh because of fear by night.
Amih boeih tah cunghang a muk uh tih caemtloek neh phaep uh. Hlang loh khoyin kah birhihnah dongah a phai ah a cunghang a vah.
9 King Solomon made himself a litter of woods of Lebanon.
Manghai Solomon loh Lebanon thing te amah kah pa la a sak.
10 He made the pillars of it silver, the bottom of it gold, the covering of it scarlet, in the midst of it a pavement of love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
A tung te cak neh, a imci te sui neh, a ngoldoelh te daidi neh a saii. A khui tah Jerusalem nu kah lungnah neh a ben.
11 Go forth, you daughters of Sion, and behold king Solomon, with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him, in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
Cet lamtah manghai Solomon taengkah Zion nu rhoek ke hmu uh lah. A lueinah hnin neh a lungbuei kohoenah hnin ah anih te a manu loh rhuisam neh a khuem.
