< Song of Solomon 7 >

1 How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess! Your curved thighs are like ornaments made by a master craftsman.
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 Your navel is like a round bowl—may it never lack spiced wine! Your abdomen is like a mound of wheat surrounded by 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 Your 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 Your neck is as elegant as a tower made of ivory. Your eyes shine like the pools of Heshbon by the Bathrabbin gate. Your nose is beautiful, prominent like the tower in Lebanon that faces 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 Your head is as magnificent as Mount Carmel; your black hair has a purple sheen, as if a king was held captive in your locks!
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 beautiful you are, my love—how attractive are your charms!
Manomano kou nani, a me kou maikai, E ka'u mea i aloha'i, no ka olioli!
7 You are as tall and slender as a palm tree; your breasts are like its clusters of fruit.
O kou kiekie, ua like ia me ka laau pama, A o kou mau waiu me he mau huhui waina la.
8 I tell myself, “I will climb the palm tree and take hold of the fruit.” May your breasts be like bunches of grapes on the vine, and your breath have the scent of 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 May your kisses be like the best wine, going down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth.
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 My love is mine, and I am the one he desires!
No ka'u mea i aloha'i owau, A o kona makemake, eia no ia'u.
11 Come, my love, let's go out into the countryside, and spend the night among the henna flowers.
Ina kaua, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, e hele kaua i ke kula, E noho kaua ma na kauhale.
12 Let's go early to the vineyards and see if the vines have budded and are in flower, and if the pomegranates are blossoming. There I will give my love to you.
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 give off their fragrant scent; we are surrounded by all kinds of delights, new as well as old, which I have saved up for you, my love.
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.
