Mele a Solomona 1
1 KE Mele o na mele, na Solomona no ia,
2 E honi mai ia'u i na honi o kona waha; No ka mea, ua oi aku kou aloha i ka waina.
Kisse he me with the cos of his mouth. For thi tetis ben betere than wyn,
3 No ke ala o kou mea poni maikai, Ua like kou inoa me ka aila ala i nininiia; No ia mea, ua aloha mai na kaikamahine ia oe.
and yyuen odour with beste oynementis. Thi name is oile sched out; therfor yonge damesels loueden thee.
4 E ume mai ia'u, e hahai makou mamuli ou. Ua hookomo mai ke alii ia'u iloko o kona keena; E hauoli makou, a e olioli hoi ia oe; E hoomanao makou i kou aloha mamua o ka waina; Ua aloha aku ka poe pono ia oe.
Drawe thou me after thee; we schulen renne in to the odour of thin oynementis. The kyng ledde me in to hise celeris; we myndeful of thi teetis aboue wyn, schulen make ful out ioye, and schulen be glad in thee; riytful men louen thee.
5 Ua eleele au, ua maikai no nae, E na kaikamahine o Ierusalema; E like me na halelewa o Kedara, E like hoi me na paku lole o Solomona.
Ye douytris of Jerusalem, Y am blak, but fair, as the tabernaclis of Cedar, as the skynnes of Salomon.
6 Mai nana mai oukou ia'u, no ka mea, ua eleele au, No ka nana ana mai o ka la ia'u. Ua huhu mai ia'u na keiki a ko'u makuwahine, Ua hoolilo mai lakou ia'u i mea kiai i na malawaina; Aka hoi, o ka'u malawaina, aole au i malama.
Nyle ye biholde me, that Y am blak, for the sunne hath discolourid me; the sones of my modir fouyten ayens me, thei settiden me a kepere in vyners; Y kepte not my vyner.
7 E hai mai ia'u, e ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i, Aila ihea oe i hanai mai. Mahea la oe i hoomaha ai i ke awakea? No ke aha la wau i lilo ai, Me ho wahine la i uhiia, Ma na poe hipa a kou mau hoanoho?
Thou spouse, whom my soule loueth, schewe to me, where thou lesewist, where thou restist in myddai; lest Y bigynne to wandre, aftir the flockis of thi felowis.
8 Ina, aole oe i ike, E ka mea maikai mawaena o na wahine, E hele oe ma na kapuwai o ka poe hipa, E hanai i kau poe kao keiki, Ma kahi kokoke i na halelewa o ka poe kahuhipa.
A! thou fairest among wymmen, if thou knowist not thi silf, go thou out, and go forth aftir the steppis of thi flockis; and feede thi kidis, bisidis the tabernaclis of scheepherdis.
9 Ua hoohalike au ia oe, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, Me he lio wahine la iloko o na kaa o Parao.
Mi frendesse, Y licnede thee to myn oost of knyytis in the charis of Farao.
10 Ua hoonaniia kou papalina i na kaula momi, A o kou a-i i na lei maikai.
Thi chekis ben feire, as of a turtle; thi necke is as brochis.
11 E hana makou nou i na kaula gula, A me na kaula hoi i paukuia i ke kala.
We schulen make to thee goldun ournementis, departid and maad dyuerse with silver.
12 I ka noho pu ana o ke alii me kona poe, Ua moani aku la ko'u mea ala.
Whanne the kyng was in his restyng place, my narde yaf his odour.
13 O ka'u mea i aloha'i, he pua mura no ia na'u, E moe iho la ia mawaena o ko'u poli.
My derlyng is a bundel of myrre to me; he schal dwelle bitwixe my tetis.
14 O ka'u mea i aloha'i, he lala kupero ia na'u, No ka malawaina mai o Enegedi.
My derlyng is to me a cluster of cipre tre, among the vyneres of Engaddi.
15 Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, He nani kou, he mau maka manu nunu kou.
Lo! my frendesse, thou art fair; lo! thou art fair, thin iyen ben the iyen of culueris.
16 Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, he maikai hoi; Ua omaomao no hoi ko kaua wahi moe.
Lo, my derling, thou art fair, and schapli; oure bed is fair as flouris.
17 Na kaola o ko kaua hale, he laau kedera ia, A me ko kaua mau oa, he laau fira.
The trees of oure housis ben of cedre; oure couplis ben of cipresse.
