< Song of Solomon 7 >

1 How beautiful are thy footsteps in sandals, O prince's daughter! The roundings of thy thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of an artist.
NANI wale kou mau wawae iloko o na kamaa, e ke kaikamahine alii! O ke apo o kou mau uha, ua like ia me ka lei o ka a-i, Ka mea a na lima o ka poe akamai i hana'i.
2 Thy navel is a round goblet, [which] wanteth not mixed wine; Thy belly a heap of wheat, set about with lilies;
O kou piko me he kiaha poepoe la ia, Aole nele i ka waina ala. O kou opu me he pua palaoa la, Ua nakinakiia i na lilia.
3 Thy two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle;
O kou mau waiu, ua like me na anetelope elua, He mau mahoe anetelope laua.
4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; Thine eyes, [like] the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose like the tower of Lebanon, Which looketh toward Damascus;
O koa a-i, ua like ia me ka halekiai niho elepani; O kou mau maka, me na punawai o Hesebona, Aia ma ka ipuka o Beterabima; O kou ihu ua like ia me ka halekiai o Lebanona, Aia kona alo i Damaseko.
5 Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the locks of thy head like purple; The king is fettered by [thy] ringlets!
O kou poo maluna ou, ua like ia me Karemela, O kou lauoho maluna o kou poo, me he mea ulaula la; Ua paa ke alii iloko o na keena maluna.
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, [my] love, in delights!
Manomano kou nani, a me kou maikai, E ka'u mea i aloha'i, no ka olioli!
7 This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to grape clusters.
O kou kiekie, ua like ia me ka laau pama, A o kou mau waiu me he mau huhui waina la.
8 I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof; And thy breasts shall indeed be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy nose like apples,
I iho la au, E pii au iluna o ka laau pama, A paa aku au i kona mau lala. Ano, e lilo mai kou mau waiu me he mau huhui waina la; A o ke ala o kou ihu e like me na ohia.
9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine, ...That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, And stealeth over the lips of them that are asleep.
A o ke aluna o kou waha me ka waina maikai no ka'u mea i aloha'i, e kahe oluolu ana, A olelo ae la na leheleho o ka poe hiamoe.
10 I am my beloved's, And his desire is toward me.
No ka'u mea i aloha'i owau, A o kona makemake, eia no ia'u.
11 — Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields; Let us lodge in the villages.
Ina kaua, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, e hele kaua i ke kula, E noho kaua ma na kauhale.
12 We will go up early to the vineyards, We will see if the vine hath budded, [If] the blossom is opening, And the pomegranates are in bloom: There will I give thee my loves.
E ala ae i ke kakahiaka ma ka malawaina, e ike i ka ulu ana o ka waina, E nana i ka pua ana o ka waina, A me ke kupu ana o ka pomeraite; Malaila au e haawi aiiaoei kou aloha.
13 The mandrakes yield fragrance; And at our gates are all choice fruits, new and old: I have laid them up for thee, my beloved.
Ua ala mai na dudima, A ma ko makou mau ipuka, aia na hua ono a pau, He mea kahiko, a me ka mea hou, O na mea au i waiho ai nou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i.
