< Song of Solomon 8 >

1 O that thou [wert] as my brother, that was nourished at the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yes, I should not be despised.
Nang koe kaie manu e sanutui karadip e, ka net e, ka thangroi patetlah o sak han ka ngai. Kai ni nang teh, alawilah kâhmo vaiteh, na paco nakunghai ayânaw ni kai teh na pathoe mahoeh.
2 I would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother's house, [who] would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
Anu e irakhan na kut dawk hoi na hrawi vaiteh na ceikhai han. Ahni ni hai kai hai na cangkhai han. Kai ni tâsi hoi kalawt e misurtui hoi taletui hah na nei sak han.
3 His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
Ahnie avoilah, e kut kaie ka lû rahim a hruek vaiteh, aranglae kut hoi na takawi seh.
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
Oe Jerusalem canunaw, ka pahren e teh amahmawk a kâhlaw hoehroukrak na pâhlaw awh hoeh nahanelah, kahrawng e sayuk sakhinaw noe lahoi lawk na thui awh.
5 Who [is] this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple-tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth [that] bore thee.
A pahren dawk kamngawi laihoi kahrawngum hoi ka tho e hateh api han namaw. Epal thingkung rahim nang teh na pâhlaw toe. Hote hmuen koe nange na manu ni nang teh na hâ toe. Hote hmuen koe nang na khe teh, hâ e lah na hruek toe.
6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals of it [are] coals of fire, [which hath] a most vehement flame. (Sheol h7585)
Kai teh nange na lung dawkvah tacik na kin leih lah. Na kut dawk hai tacik na kin leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungpatawnae teh, due e patetlah a thao. Dipmanae lungthin teh phuen kho patetlah a ru. Ahnie a hue teh, hmaisaan hoi hmaito patetlah ao. (Sheol h7585)
7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
Hatnavah, tuinaw ni lungpatawnae roum sak thai hoeh. Tuikalen ni hai pâyawt thai hoeh. Tami ni ama im kaawm hnopai pueng lungpatawnae lahoi poe han a ngai nakunghai puenghoi dudamnae doeh kâhmo ti.
8 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
Kaimouh koevah kanaw rae ka tawncanu buet touh ao rah. Ahni teh sanu co hoeh rah. Hote ka tawncanu a pacei awh navah, ahni hanelah bangtelamaw ka ti awh han.
9 If she [is] a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she [is] a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
Ahni teh rapan lah awm pawiteh, ahni van ngunrapan ka sak han. Takhang lah awm pawiteh Sidar thing hoi ka kalup han.
10 I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favor.
Kai teh kho rapan lah ka o. Kaie sanu hai imrasang patetlah o. Hatdawkvah, kai teh nang na hmalah hawinae ka sak.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; every one for the fruit of it was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver.
Baalhamon ram dawk takha buet touh ao. Hote misur takha teh, karingkungnaw koe ka hlai sak teh a paw a ca phu lah shekel thawng touh rip a sin awh.
12 My vineyard which [is] mine, [is] before me: thou, O Solomon, [must have] a thousand, and those that keep the fruit of it two hundred.
Ka tawn e misur takha teh kahma lah ao. Oe Solomon, ngun shekel thong touh nama hanelah ao teh, karingkungnaw ni cumhni touh rip a la awh.
13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear [it].
Takha thung kaawm e, nange tami na huikonaw ni nange na lawk teh a ngai awh. Kai hai na thaisak van awh haw.
14 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
Ka pahren nang kai koe karanglah tho leih. Hmuitui monnaw dawk kaawm e sayuk sakhicanaw patetlah na awm sak haw.
