Mele a Solomona 1
1 KE Mele o na mele, na Solomona no ia,
Ko e fungani ʻoe hiva ʻa Solomone.
2 E honi mai ia'u i na honi o kona waha; No ka mea, ua oi aku kou aloha i ka waina.
Tuku ke ne ʻumaʻaki kiate au ʻae ngaahi ʻuma ʻa hono ngutu: he ʻoku lelei hake hoʻo ʻofa ʻi he uaine.
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.
ʻOku tatau ho huafa mo e lilingi atu ʻae lolo kakala, koeʻuhi ko e namu lelei ʻo hoʻo ngaahi meʻa tākai, pea ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ai ʻae kau tāupoʻou kiate koe.
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.
Toho au, pea te mau lele atu kiate koe: kuo ʻomi au ʻe he tuʻi ki hono ngaahi potu fale: te mau fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe, pea te mau tokanga lahi hake kiate koe ʻi he uaine: ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe ʻae angatonu.
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.
ʻE ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, ʻoku ou ʻuliʻuli ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Keta, kae matamatalelei ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi puipui ʻi he fale ʻo Solomone.
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.
ʻOua naʻa sio mai kiate au koeʻuhi ʻoku ou ʻuliʻuli, koeʻuhi kuo sio hifo ʻae laʻā kiate au: naʻe ʻita kiate au ʻae fānau ʻa ʻeku faʻē; naʻa nau ngaohi au ko e tauhi ki he ngaahi ngoue vaine; ka ko ʻeku ngoue vaine ʻaʻaku kuo ʻikai te u tauhi ia.
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?
ʻA koe, ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie, fakahā mai kiate au ʻae potu ʻoku ke fafanga ai, ʻae potu ʻoku ke pule ke malolō ai ʻa hoʻo fanga manu ʻi he hoʻatāmālie: he ko e hā te u hoko ai ke u tatau mo ha taha ʻoku afe ki he fanga manu ʻa ho kaungāʻapi?
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.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo, ʻa koe ʻoku hoihoifua lahi ʻi he kau fefine kotoa pē, ʻalu pe ʻi ho hala, ʻi he ʻalunga ʻoe fanga manu, pea ke fafanga hoʻo ngaahi ʻuhikiʻi kosi ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kau tauhimanu.
9 Ua hoohalike au ia oe, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, Me he lio wahine la iloko o na kaa o Parao.
ʻA hoku ʻofaʻanga, kuo u fakatatau koe ki he fanga hoosi ʻi he ngaahi saliote ʻo Felo.
10 Ua hoonaniia kou papalina i na kaula momi, A o kou a-i i na lei maikai.
Kuo fakamatamatalelei ho kouʻahe ʻaki ʻae tuinga [mataʻitofe], mo ho kia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kahoa [koula].
11 E hana makou nou i na kaula gula, A me na kaula hoi i paukuia i ke kala.
Te mau ngaohi ʻaki ʻae koula ho ngaahi kapaʻi kofu, mo puleʻi ʻaki ia ʻae siliva.
12 I ka noho pu ana o ke alii me kona poe, Ua moani aku la ko'u mea ala.
Lolotonga ʻae nofo ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono keinangaʻanga ʻoku namu kakala atu ʻeku naatosi.
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.
ʻOku hangē ko e ʻu kakala ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga kiate au, pea ʻe tokoto ia ki hoku fatafata ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho.
14 O ka'u mea i aloha'i, he lala kupero ia na'u, No ka malawaina mai o Enegedi.
ʻOku tatau kiate au ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga mo e fuhi saipalesi ʻi he ngaahi ngoue vaine ʻi Eniketi.
15 Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, He nani kou, he mau maka manu nunu kou.
Vakai, ʻoku ke hoihoifua ʻa koe ʻoku ou ʻofa ai; vakai, ʻoku ke hoihoifua ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae mata ʻoe lupe.
16 Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, he maikai hoi; Ua omaomao no hoi ko kaua wahi moe.
Vakai, ʻoku ke toulekeleka, ʻE hoku ʻofaʻanga, ʻio, mo fakaʻofoʻofa; pea ʻoku laumaʻuiʻui foki hota tokotoʻanga.
17 Na kaola o ko kaua hale, he laau kedera ia, A me ko kaua mau oa, he laau fira.
Ko e ngaahi ʻalanga ʻo hota fale ko e sita, pea ʻoku ʻato ʻaki ʻae saipalesi.
