Song of Solomon 1
1 This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
Solomon ni a thut e lanaw thung dawk e la lah ao.
2 Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
Pahni hoi paconae hoi kai hah na paco haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nange lungpatawnae teh misurtui hlak ahawihnawn.
3 The fragrance of the cologne on your [skin] is [very] sweet/pleasing [CHI]. And your reputation is [very] good and spreads, [like] [SIM] the fragrance of the special oil spread on your skin. That is why the [other] young women are attracted to you.
Na kâhluk e hmuitui ni na kaying toe. Nange na min teh awi e hmuitui lah ao. Hatdawkvah tanglakacuemnaw ni nang teh na lungpataw awh.
4 Take me quickly; take me to your home. [It is as though] you are my king; take me into your room. We are very happy [DOU] about you; we say that your love [for each other] is better than wine. It is not surprising that the other young women adore you.
Kai hah na hrawi nateh, karanglah yawng lei sei. Nang siangpahrang ni kai teh amae inae khan thung na kaw toe. Nang dawk ka lunghawi vaiteh ka konawm han. Na lungpatawnae hah misurtui hlak ka pouk han. Nang teh na lungpataw katang awh.
5 You women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful; my dark skin is like [SIM] the tents in Kedar, [or] like the beautiful curtains in Solomon’s palace.
Oe Jerusalem canu, kai teh Kedar rim patetlah ka tamang eiteh, Solomon siangpahrang e im dawk yap e hni patetlah a mei kahawi.
6 [But] do not stare at me because of the sun having caused my skin to become dark; my brothers were angry with me, [so] they forced me to work [out in the sunshine] in the vineyards, so I was not able to take good care of my body/skin [CHI, MET].
Ka tamang poung e kaie ka takthai kecu dawk, kahawi hoeh lah na hmawt awh han. Ka manu e capanaw ni kai koe a lungkhuek awh teh, misur takhanaw hah, ka ring hanelah ka rakueng awh toe. Kaie misur takha teh ka ring hoeh.
7 You whom I [SYN] love, where will you take your flock of sheep today? Where will you allow them to rest at noontime? I want to know because it is not right [RHQ] for me to wander around like a prostitute looking for you among the flocks that belong to your friends.
Kaie ka lungthin thung dawk Ka pahren e tami, na tuhu hah nâ e hmuen koe vaimoe, a khoum awh vaiyoe, kanîthun vah na e hmuen koe vaimoe a kâhat sak vaiyoe. Kai hah na dei pouh haw. Kai teh bangkongmaw na hui tuhu naw rahak vah hro e patetlah khuet ka o han va.
8 You who are the most beautiful of all the women, if you [search for me and] do not know [where I will take my sheep], follow the tracks/footprints of the sheep. [Then] allow your young goats to (graze/eat grass) near the shepherds’ tents.
Napuinaw thung dawk a mei kahawipoung e lah na Oe na ka panuek hoehpawiteh, tunaw e hnukkâbang haw. Tukhoumnaw e rim teng vah, nange hmaeca hah rawca poe haw.
9 You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.
Ka pahren e tawncanu, nang teh Faro siangpahrang e ranglengnaw thung dawk e marang hoi na bangnue.
10 Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.
Nange na tamboungnaw teh talung phu kaawm poung e lah ao teh, na lahuen teh suidingyin hoi na meihawi poung.
11 We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
Nang hanelah ngun hoi sak e suihnapacap hai kaimouh ni na sak pouh han.
12 While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
Nang siangpahrang teh ahnie caboi dawk na tahung nah kai koehoi, ka tho e hmuitui hmui ni kaying e lah ao.
13 The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.
Kai ni ka pahren e nang e, murah hmuitui tabu ca teh, kaie lungtabue dawkvah rum touh thung ao.
14 He is like [MET] a bunch of flowers from the vineyards at En-Gedi.
Kai ni ka pahren e nang teh, kai hanelah Engedi misur takha dawk e Henna pei patetlah ao.
15 You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
Ka pahren e ka tawncanu, nang teh na mei ahawipoung. Na hawi poung. Nange na mit teh bakhu mit na tawn.
16 You who love me, you are very delightful/handsome, you are wonderful! This green grass will be [like] a couch [where we lie down].
Kai ni ka pahren e nang teh na mei ahawipoung. Ngai a tho poung. Ka lung a nawm sak. Maimae ikhun teh hringsuepcalah ao.
17 [Branches of] cedar [trees] will shade us; [it is as though branches of] juniper/pine [trees] will be like [MET] a roof [over our heads].
Maimae im khomnaw teh, Sidar thing, a lemphu teh hmaicathing e doeh.
