Song of Solomon 3
1 At night on my bed I was longing for him whom my soul loves; I looked for him, but I could not find him.
MALUNA o ko'u wahi moe, i ka po, Ua imi au i ka'u mea i aloha'i; Imi au ia ia, aole nae i loaa.
2 I said to myself, “I will get up and go through the city, through the streets and squares; I will search for him whom my soul loves.” I searched for him, but I did not find him.
E ku au iluna, ano, e hele a puni ke kulanakauhale, Ma na alanui, a me na wahi akea, E imi i ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i; Ua imi au ia ia, aole nae i loaa.
3 The watchmen found me as they were making their rounds in the city. I asked them, “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
Ua loaa au i ka poe kiai, Ka poe hele a puni ke kulanakauhale; I aku la au, Ua ike anei oukou i ka'u mea i aloha'i?
4 It was only a little while after I had passed them that I found him whom my soul loves. I held him and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house, into the bedroom of the one who had conceived me.
Aole liuliu ko'u hele ana mai o lakou aku, A loaa mai ia'u ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i; Ua lalau au ia ia, aole nae e hookuu aku; A hookomo au ia ia iloko o ka hale o ko'u makuwahine, A iloko o ke keena o ka mea nana au i hanau mai.
5 I want you to swear, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and the does of the fields, that you will not awaken or arouse love until she pleases.
Ke kauoha aku nei au ia oukou, e na kaikamahine o Ierusalema, Ma na anetelope a me na dia o ke kula, E hooluliluli ole aku oukou, a e hoala ole i ka'u mea i aloha'i, a ala wale mai ia.
6 What is that coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the powders sold by merchants?
Owai keia e hoea mai ana mai ka waonahele mai, E like me na punohu uwahi? Ua moani mai kona mura, a me koua libano, A me na mea ala a pau a ka mea kalepa.
7 Look, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty warriors surround it, sixty soldiers of Israel.
Aia hoi, o kona wahi e moe ai, no Solomona ia, He kanaono kanaka koa [e ku ana] a puni ia, He poe ikaika o ka Iseraela.
8 All of them are skilled with a sword and are experienced in warfare. Every man has his sword at his side, armed against the terrors of the night.
Ua lalau lakou a pau i na pahikaua, He poe akamai lakou i ke kaua; Aia no ka pahi a kela mea keia mea ma kona uha, No ka makau i ka po.
9 King Solomon made himself a sedan chair of the wood from Lebanon.
Hana iho la ke alii o Solomona i hale auamo nona, I ka laau o Lebanona.
10 Its posts were made of silver; the back was made of gold, and the seat of purple cloth. Its interior was decorated with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.
Hana iho la oia i na kia he kala; A o ke kino, hana iho la i ke gula; O ka noho ona, he mea ulaula ia; Ua kipapaia kona walua i ke aloha, No na kaikamahine mai o Ierusalema.
11 Go out, daughters of Zion, and gaze on King Solomon, bearing the crown with which his mother crowned him on his wedding day, on the day of the joy of his heart.
E puka iwaho, e na kaikamahine o Ziona, a e ike i ke alii ia Solomona, Me kona papale alii, ka mea a kona makuwahine i kau maluna ona, I kona la i mareia'i, i ka la i olioli ai kona naau.
