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 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.
[[Lov.]] As the 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.
[[M.]] As the apple-tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons. In his shadow I love to sit down, And his fruit is 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 hath brought me to his banqueting-house, And his banner over me is love. Strengthen me with raisins,
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.
Refresh me with apples! For I am sick 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 embraceth 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.
[[Lov.]] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she please!
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.
[[M.]] The voice of my beloved! Behold, he cometh, Leaping upon the mountains, Bounding upon 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.
Like a gazelle is my beloved, Or a young hind. Behold, he standeth behind our wall; He is looking through the windows; He glanceth 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 speaketh, and saith to me, “Rise 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, lo, 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 of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle 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 is spicing its green fruit; The vines in blossom give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair 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, that art in the recesses of the rock, In the hiding-places of the steep craggy mountain, Let me see thy face, Let me hear thy voice! For sweet is thy voice, And thy face 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.
Take ye for us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines; For our vines are now 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 feedeth 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.
When the day breathes, and the shadows flee away, Come again, my beloved, like a gazelle, or a young hind, Upon the craggy mountains.
