Song of Solomon 1
Ko e fungani ʻoe hiva ʻa Solomone.
2 Let him kisse me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy loue is better then wine.
Tuku ke ne ʻumaʻaki kiate au ʻae ngaahi ʻuma ʻa hono ngutu: he ʻoku lelei hake hoʻo ʻofa ʻi he uaine.
3 Because of the sauour of thy good ointments thy name is as an ointment powred out: therefore the virgins loue thee.
ʻOku tatau ho huafa mo e lilingi atu ʻae lolo kakala, koeʻuhi ko e namu lelei ʻo hoʻo ngaahi meʻa tākai, pea ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ai ʻae kau tāupoʻou kiate koe.
4 Drawe me: we will runne after thee: the King hath brought me into his chabers: we will reioyce and be glad in thee: we will remember thy loue more then wine: the righteous do loue thee.
Toho au, pea te mau lele atu kiate koe: kuo ʻomi au ʻe he tuʻi ki hono ngaahi potu fale: te mau fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe, pea te mau tokanga lahi hake kiate koe ʻi he uaine: ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe ʻae angatonu.
5 I am blacke, O daughters of Ierusalem, but comely, as the tentes of Kedar, and as the curtaines of Salomon.
ʻE ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, ʻoku ou ʻuliʻuli ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Keta, kae matamatalelei ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi puipui ʻi he fale ʻo Solomone.
6 Regard ye me not because I am blacke: for the sunne hath looked vpon mee. The sonnes of my mother were angry against mee: they made me the keeper of ye vines: but I kept not mine owne vine.
ʻOua naʻa sio mai kiate au koeʻuhi ʻoku ou ʻuliʻuli, koeʻuhi kuo sio hifo ʻae laʻā kiate au: naʻe ʻita kiate au ʻae fānau ʻa ʻeku faʻē; naʻa nau ngaohi au ko e tauhi ki he ngaahi ngoue vaine; ka ko ʻeku ngoue vaine ʻaʻaku kuo ʻikai te u tauhi ia.
7 Shewe me, O thou, whome my soule loueth, where thou feedest, where thou liest at noone: for why should I be as she that turneth aside to the flockes of thy companions?
ʻA koe, ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie, fakahā mai kiate au ʻae potu ʻoku ke fafanga ai, ʻae potu ʻoku ke pule ke malolō ai ʻa hoʻo fanga manu ʻi he hoʻatāmālie: he ko e hā te u hoko ai ke u tatau mo ha taha ʻoku afe ki he fanga manu ʻa ho kaungāʻapi?
8 If thou knowe not, O thou the fairest among women, get thee foorth by the steps of the flocke, and feede thy kiddes by the tents of the shepheards.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo, ʻa koe ʻoku hoihoifua lahi ʻi he kau fefine kotoa pē, ʻalu pe ʻi ho hala, ʻi he ʻalunga ʻoe fanga manu, pea ke fafanga hoʻo ngaahi ʻuhikiʻi kosi ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kau tauhimanu.
9 I haue compared thee, O my loue, to the troupe of horses in the charets of Pharaoh.
ʻA hoku ʻofaʻanga, kuo u fakatatau koe ki he fanga hoosi ʻi he ngaahi saliote ʻo Felo.
10 Thy cheekes are comely with rowes of stones, and thy necke with chaines.
Kuo fakamatamatalelei ho kouʻahe ʻaki ʻae tuinga [mataʻitofe], mo ho kia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kahoa [koula].
11 We will make thee borders of golde with studdes of siluer.
Te mau ngaohi ʻaki ʻae koula ho ngaahi kapaʻi kofu, mo puleʻi ʻaki ia ʻae siliva.
12 Whiles the King was at his repast, my spikenard gaue the smelll thereof.
Lolotonga ʻae nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono keinangaʻanga ʻoku namu kakala atu ʻeku naatosi.
13 My welbeloued is as a bundle of myrrhe vnto me: he shall lie betweene my breasts.
ʻOku hangē ko e ʻu kakala ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga kiate au, pea ʻe tokoto ia ki hoku fatafata ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho.
14 My welbeloued is as a cluster of camphire vnto me in the vines of Engedi.
ʻOku tatau kiate au ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga mo e fuhi saipalesi ʻi he ngaahi ngoue vaine ʻi Eniketi.
15 My loue, beholde, thou art faire: beholde, thou art faire: thine eyes are like the doues.
Vakai, ʻoku ke hoihoifua ʻa koe ʻoku ou ʻofa ai; vakai, ʻoku ke hoihoifua ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae mata ʻoe lupe.
16 My welbeloued, beholde, thou art faire and pleasant: also our bed is greene:
Vakai, ʻoku ke toulekeleka, ʻE hoku ʻofaʻanga, ʻio, mo fakaʻofoʻofa; pea ʻoku laumaʻuiʻui foki hota tokotoʻanga.
17 The beames of our house are cedars, our rafters are of firre.
Ko e ngaahi ʻalanga ʻo hota fale ko e sita, pea ʻoku ʻato ʻaki ʻae saipalesi.
