Song of Solomon 1
1 The Song of Songs, which pertaineth to Solomon.
Zailom: Hiche hi Solomon la ho lah’a apipen, adang jouse sanga thupi ahi.
2 [SHE] Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! [THEY] For better are thy caresses than wine:
Mounu: Neichop in lang, avel in neichop in, ajeh chu nei deibolna chu lengpitwi sang in jong alhumjoi.
3 Like the fragrance of thy precious oils, Oil poured out, is thy name, For this cause, virgins love thee.
Gimnamtwi nakinu chu iti namtwija hitam, namin ngei hi agim namtwi kitungdoh tobang ahi. Akidang poi, khangdong nungah jousen hibang loma nahin deiju hi!
4 [SHE] Draw me! [THEY] After thee, will we run! [SHE] The king, hath brought me, into his chambers. [THEY] We will exult and rejoice in thee, we will mention thy caresses, beyond wine, Sincerely they love thee.
Kei jong neipuijin, hung in; kijam ta hite! Lengpan ajalna pindan’ah ei puilut hen. Zailom: Iti kahin kipapiu hitam, O Lengpa. Na milungset dan hi lengpitwi sang in ka ngaisang jouve. Mounu: Nahin ngaisangnau hi adih tangeiye!
5 [SHE] Swarthy, I am but comely, ye daughters of Jerusalem. [THEY] Like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
Keima ka vouso avom vang'in kamelhoi nai, Vo Jerusalem Chanute-Cedar phaiya ponbuh kisongho banga vom, Solomon pondal banga vom chu ka hinai.
6 [SHE] Do not look on me, because, I, am so swarthy, because the sun hath scorched me, —My mother’s sons, were angry with me, they set me to keep the vineyards, Mine own vineyard, have I not kept. …
Kavouso avom jeh-in, Neihin vehih-uvin-nisan ei kahdup jeh ahibouve. Ka sopi pasal ho ka chung ah alunghang uve, alengpi leiju vekol ding in eino uvin, hijeh chun kei le kei ka kijen joupoi; keima lengpilei ka kivet kol man poi.
7 Tell me, thou loved of my soul! Where wilt thou pasture thy flock? Where wilt thou let them recline at noon? For why should I be as one that wrappeth a veil about her, by the flocks of thy companions?
Nei seipeh-in, O goldei, tuni na kelngoi honho hoilama na puiding ham? Sun teng hoikoma na kol sah ding ham? Ajeh chu keima hi noti banga naloi-napaiho chule kelngoite lah’a iti ka vavai le jeng thei ding ham?
8 [HE] If thou know not of thyself, most beautiful among women! get thee forth in the footsteps of the flock, and pasture thy kids by the huts of the shepherds. …
Moulang: Na het loule, O nungah melhoipen nu; ka kelngoi ho kikaina nung juiyin lang, kelngoi chingho ponbuh vel’a chun na kelchate vah-in.
9 To a mare of mine, in the chariots of Pharaoh, have I likened thee, my fair one!
O ka deinu, na nunnop dan hi Pharaoh sakol lagol lah-a khat toh nabang’e.
10 Comely are thy cheeks, with bead-rows, thy neck, with strings of gems.
Na bengmai alangtoa hi iti deium hitam! Na bilba tenin asal emsel jeng’e! Nangong jong iti dei um hitam, na sana bilba hung kailha chun ajem hoi be cheh-e.
11 [THEY] Rows of golden ornaments, will we make thee, with studs of silver.
Zailom: Sanavui sempeh-ungting, kicheina ding dangkavui toh thosah-unge.
12 [SHE] By the time the king is in his circle, my nard, will have given out its fragrance:
Mounu: Lengpa jalkhun chung ah alum in, gimnamtwi ka kinu gimnam hi aki tunglut jel jeng’e.
13 A bag of myrrh, is my beloved to me, between my breasts, shall it tarry the night!
Ka goldeipa hi ka ang-a Myrrh gim namtwi theineo kikhai abangin ahi.
14 A cluster of henna, is my beloved to me, in the vineyards of En-gedi.
Ama hi En-gedi lengpileiya henna pahcha-boh toh abange.
15 [HE] Lo! thou art beautiful my fair one, lo! thou art beautiful, Thine eyes, [are] doves!
Moulang: Iti hoiya hoi nahi hitam, O ka goldei nu! Namit teni hi vakho te abang jeng’e.
16 [SHE] Lo! thou art beautiful, my beloved, Yea delightful! [BOTH] Yea! our couch, is covered with leaves:
Mounu: Nangma jong na hoi ngeije, O goldei, kam’a seidoh jou hoi hilouvin dei na um nalom’e! Hampa dong nem hiuheo khu i-jalkhun lhon ding in alom e.
17 The beams of our house, are cedars, Our fretted ceiling, is cypress-trees.
Namtwi tah Cedar thingbah ho jeng jong i-inkam lhon ding in apang uvin, chahthing ho jeng jong i-insun lhon ding in apang’uve.
