Mele a Solomona 2
1 O WAU no ka rose o Sarona, A me ka lilia o na awawa.
I am a crocus of Sharon, a lily 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 a lily among thorns, 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 beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, 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 brought me to the banquet hall, and his banner 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.
Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am faint 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. His right hand embraces 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 adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by the does of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
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 beloved. Look, he comes, leaping on the mountains, skipping 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 beloved is like a gazelle or a young deer. Look, he stands behind our wall. He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.
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 beloved spoke, and said to me, "Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
11 No ka mea, aia hoi, ua hala ka hooilo, Ua pau ka ua, a ua malie;
For, look, 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 appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard 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 ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom. They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, 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.
My dove in the clefts of the rock, In the hiding places of the mountainside, Let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
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.
Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.
16 No'u no ka'u mea i aloha'i, A nona hoi au; E ai ana oia mawaena o na lilia.
My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies.
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.
Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of Bether.
