Mele a Solomona 2
1 O WAU no ka rose o Sarona, A me ka lilia o na awawa.
I am a rose of Sharon, a flower of the valleys.
2 E like me ka lilia mawaena o na kakalaioa, Pela no ka'u mea i aloha'i mawaena o na kaikamahine.
As the lily-flower among the thorns of the waste, so is my love among the daughters.
3 E like me ka laau ohia mawaena o na laau o ka nahelehele, Pela ka'u mea i aloha'i mawaena o na keiki kane; Ua noho iho au malalo o kona malu me ka oluolu, A ua ono kona hua i kuu ai ana.
As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 Ua hookomo mai oia ia'u iloko o ka halo ahainu, A o kona hae maluna iho o'u, he aloha no ia.
He took me to the house of wine, and his flag over me was love.
5 E hooluolu mai ia'u i ka pai huawaina, E hanai mai hoi ia'u i ka hua ohia; No ka mea, ua mai au i ke aloha.
Make me strong with wine-cakes, let me be comforted with apples; I am overcome with love.
6 Aia kona lima hema malalo iho o ko'u poo, O kona lima akau hoi, ua apo mai ia'u.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand is round about me.
7 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 aku i ka'u mea i aloha'i, a ala wale mai ia.
I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, do not let love be moved till it is ready.
8 He leo ka, no ka'u mea i aloha'i Aia hoi, e hiki mai ana ia, E lele ana maluna o na mauna, E lehai ana hoi maluna o na puu.
The voice of my loved one! See, he comes dancing on the mountains, stepping quickly on the hills.
9 Ua like ka'u mea i aloha'i, me ka anetelope, A me ka dia keiki hoi; Aia ka, ku iho la oia mahope o ko makou pa, E nana ana ma na puka makani, E makaikai ana ma na puka olepelepe.
My loved one is like a roe; see, he is on the other side of our wall, he is looking in at the windows, letting himself be seen through the spaces.
10 Olelo mai la ka'u mea i aloha'i, i mai ia'u, E ka'u mea i aloha'i, e ko'u mea nani, e ku ae, a e hele mai oe:
My loved one said to me, Get up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 No ka mea, aia hoi, ua hala ka hooilo, Ua pau ka ua, a ua malie;
For, see, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 Ua ikeia mai na pua ma ka honua; Ua hiki mai ka wa e oki ai, Ua loheia hoi ka leo o ke kuhukuku ma ko makou aina;
The flowers are come on the earth; the time of cutting the vines is come, and the voice of the dove is sounding in our land;
13 O ka laau fiku ua hua mai ia i kona hua opiopio, Ua aala mai ka pua o ka waina. E ka'u mea i aloha'i, e ko'u mea maikai, e ala, a e hele mai oe.
The fig-tree puts out her green fruit and the vines with their young fruit give a good smell. Get up from your bed, my beautiful one, and come away.
14 E ko'u nunu, ma na wahi malu o ka pohaku, a me na wahi hunaia o ka pali, E ae mai e ike au i kou helehelena. A e lohe hoi i kou leo; No ka mea, ua oluolu kou leo, a o kou helehelena, ua maikai no ia.
O my dove, you are in the holes of the mountain sides, in the cracks of the high hills; let me see your face, let your voice come to my ears; for sweet is your voice, and your face is fair.
15 E hopu aku no makou i na alopeke, I na alopeke liilii, na mea i ino ai na malawaina; No ka mea, ua pua mai ko kakou malawaina.
Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, which do damage to the vines; our vines have young grapes.
16 No'u no ka'u mea i aloha'i, A nona hoi au; E ai ana oia mawaena o na lilia.
My loved one is mine, and I am his: he takes his food among the flowers.
17 A i ka wa oluolu o ka la, a auhee na aka, E huli oe, e ka'u mea i aloha'i. A lilo oe i anetelope, A i dia keiki paha maluna o na mauna palipali.
Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, come, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of Bether.
