< Song of Solomon 6 >

1 Whither is thy beloved gone, Thou fairest among women? Whither is thy beloved turned aside? And we will seek him with thee.
Kuo ʻalu ki fē ho ʻofaʻanga, ʻa koe ʻoku hoihoifua ʻi he kau fefine kotoa pē? Kuo ʻalu ki fē ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai? Koeʻuhi ke tau kumi ia mo koe.
2 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, To feed in the gardens and to gather lilies.
Kuo ʻalu hifo ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga ki heʻene ngoue, ki he potu ngoue ʻoe ngaahi kakala, ke ne kai ʻi he ngoue, mo ne toli ʻae ngaahi lile.
3 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: He feedeth [his flock] among the lilies.
‌ʻOku ʻo hoku ʻofaʻanga ʻa au, pea ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga: ʻoku ne kai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi lile.
4 Thou art fair, my love, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem, Terrible as troops with banners:
ʻOku ke hoihoifua, ʻa koe ʻoku ou ʻofa ai, ʻo hangē ko Telisa, pea matamatalelei ʻo hangē ko Selūsalema, pea manavahēʻia ʻo hangē ko e matatau mo ʻenau ngaahi fuka.
5 Turn away thine eyes from me, For they overcome me. Thy hair is as a flock of goats On the slopes of Gilead.
Ke ʻoua naʻa sio mai ho mata kiate au he ʻoku ou vaivai ai: ʻoku tatau ho louʻulu mo e fanga kosi ʻoku fafanga ʻi Kiliati.
6 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep Which go up from the washing; Which have all borne twins, And none is barren among them.
‌ʻOku tatau ho kaunifo mo e fanga sipi ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he kaukauʻi, he ʻoku taki ʻuhiua ʻa honau ʻuhiki, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke paʻa ha taha ʻi ai.
7 As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples Behind thy veil.
‌ʻOku tatau ho manifinifihanga mo e konga pomikanite ʻoku fakalilo ʻaki ho louʻulu.
8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number:
‌ʻOku ai ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻe toko onongofulu, mo e sinifu ʻe toko valungofulu, mo e kau tāupoʻou taʻefaʻalaua.
9 My dove, mine undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother, She is the choice one of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and they called her blessed; The queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
Ka ʻoku taha pe ʻa ʻeku lupe, ʻa ʻeku haohaoa, ko e taʻahine pe taha ia ʻa ʻene faʻē, pea ko e pele ʻaʻana naʻa ne fanauʻi ia. Naʻe mamata ki ai ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻonau fakaongolelei ia, pea naʻa mo e ngaahi tuʻi fefine mo e sinifu foki kuo nau lea fakamālō ki ai.
10 Who is she that looketh forth as the dawn, Fair as the moon, clear as the sun, Terrible as troops with banners?
Ko hai eni ʻoku hā mai ʻo hangē ko e pongipongi, ʻoku fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo hangē ko e māhina, ʻoku ulo ʻo hangē ko e laʻā, pea manavahēʻia ʻo hangē ko e matatau mo ʻenau ngaahi fuka.
11 I went down into the garden of nuts, To see the verdure of the valley, To see whether the vine budded, Whether the pomegranates blossomed.
Ne u ʻalu hifo ki he ngoue natimeki ke u mamata ki he ngaahi fua ʻoe ʻakau ʻi he teleʻa, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo pe ʻoku tupu lelei ʻae vaine, pea fatakau ʻae ngaahi pomikanite.
12 Before I was aware, My soul set me upon the chariots of my willing people.
Pea ʻiloange kuo fakafokifā naʻe puna hoku laumālie, ʻo hangē ha taha kuo heka ki he ngaahi saliote ʻo ʻAminatipa.
13 Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. — What would ye look upon in the Shulamite? — As it were the dance of two camps.
Ke ke tafoki mai, tafoki mai, ʻE fefine Sulami; tafoki mai, tafoki mai, ka mau mamata kiate koe. Ko e hā ʻoku mou fie mamata ai ki he fefine Sulami? Ke mau mamata ʻo hangē ko e kau taha ʻae matatau ʻe ua.
