Song of Solomon 3
1 [[M.]] Upon my bed, in the night, I sought him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but found him not.
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 arise now [[said I]], and go about the city; In the streets and the broad ways will I seek him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but 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 about the city found me; “Have you seen [[said I]] him whom my soul loveth?”
Khopuei te a hil tih aka tawt rhoek loh kai m'hmuh uh. Ka hinglu kah a lungnah te na hmuh uh nim?
4 I had but just passed them, When I found him whom my soul loveth; I held him, and would not let him go, Till I had brought him into my mother's house, Into the apartment of her that bore 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 [[Lov.]] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem! By the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she 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 cometh up from the wilderness, Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the powders of the merchant?
Myrrah a phum neh thimpom vaidik boeih lamkah hmueihtui tah hmaikhu tung bangla khosoek lamloh aka cet he unim?
7 Behold, the carriage of Solomon! Threescore valiant men are around it, Of the valiant men of Israel.
Solomon taengkah a baiphaih aih ke. A kaepvai kah hlangrhalh sawmrhuk rhoek khaw Israel hlangrhalh khui lamkah ni.
8 They all wear swords, Being skilled in war. Every one hath his sword girt upon his thigh, On account of danger in the 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 for himself a carriage Of the wood of Lebanon.
Manghai Solomon loh Lebanon thing te amah kah pa la a sak.
10 The pillars thereof he made of silver, The railing of gold, The seat of purple, Its interior curiously wrought by a lovely one of 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, O ye daughters of Zion! And behold King Solomon In the crown with which his mother crowned him, In the day of his espousals, 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.
