Mele a Solomona 5
1 U A komo au iloko o ko'u kihapai, e ko'u kaikuwahine, e ka'u wahine; Ua ohi au i ko'u mura mea ala; Ua ai au i ko'u waihona meli me ko'u meli; Ua inu au i ko'u waina me ko'u waiu; E ai, e ko'u poe makamaka, E inu, oia hoi, e inu nui, e ka'u poe i aloha'i.
Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat the fruit of his apple trees. I am come into my garden, O my sister, my spouse, I have gathered my myrrh, with my aromatical spices: I have eaten the honeycomb with my honey, I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends, and drink, and be inebriated, my dearly beloved.
2 Ua hiamoe au. ua ala no nae ko'u naau: He leo ka! o ka'u mea i aloha'i e kikeke ana, [me ka i mai, ] E wehe ae no'u, e ko'u kaikuwahine, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, e ka'u manu nunu, e ko'u mea maemae; No ka mea, ua paapu ko'u poo i ka hau, A me ko'u wili lauoho i na paka ua o ka po.
I sleep, and my heart watcheth; the voice of my beloved knocking: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is full of dew, and my locks of the drops of the nights.
3 Ua wehe au i ko'u kapa komo; Pehea la wau e komo hou aku ai ia? Ua holoi au i ko'u mau wawae; Pehea la wau e hoopaumaelo hou aku ai?
I have put off my garment, how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them?
4 Ua hookomo mai ka'u mea i aloha'i i kona lima ma kahi hakahaka, A haehae ko'u opu nona.
My beloved put his hand through the key hole, and my bowels were moved at his touch.
5 Ua ku au iluna e wehe ae no ka'u mea i aloha'i, A kulu ka mura mai ko'u mau lima aku, A kahe hoi ka mura maemae loa mai ko'u mau manamana lima, Maluna o ka mea e paa ai ka puka.
I arose up to open to my beloved: my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers were full of the choicest myrrh.
6 Ua wehe ae au no ka'u mea i aloha'i; Aka, o ka'u mea i aloha'i, ua huli ae ia, a hele aku la; Ua lele ko'u oili i kana olelo ana mai; Ua imi au ia ia, aole nae i loaa, Ua kahea aku au ia ia, aole nae i ekemu mai.
I opened the bolt of my door to my beloved: but he had turned aside, and was gone. My soul melted when he spoke: I sought him, and found him not: I called, and he did not answer me.
7 Ua loaa au i ka poe kiai i ko lakou hele ana a puni ke kulanakauhale, Ua pepehi mai lakou ia'u a eha au; O ka poe kiai maluna o ka pa, ua kaili ae lakou i ko'u aahu.
The keepers that go about the city found me: they struck me: and wounded me: the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8 Ua kauoha aku au ia oukou, e na kaikamahine o Ierusalema, Ina e loaa ia oukou ka'u mea i aloha'i, E hai aku oukou ia ia, ua mai au i ke aloha.
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him that I languish with love.
9 Heaha kau mea i aloha'i, mamua o kekahi mea i aloha'i, E ka mea maikai mawaena o na wahine; Heaha kau mea i aloha'i mamua o kekahi mea i aloha'i, I kauoha mai ai oe ia makou pela?
What manner of one is thy beloved of the beloved, O thou most beautiful among women? what manner of one is thy beloved of the beloved, that thou hast so adjured us?
10 O ka'u mea i aloha'i, ua keokeo ia a me ka ulaula hoi, Ua oi nui aku ia mamua o na tausani he umi.
My beloved is white and ruddy, chosen out of thousands.
11 O kona poo, he gula maemae ia, O kona wili lauoho, na loloa ia, A eleele hoi me he manu koraka la.
His head is as the finest gold: his locks as branches of palm trees, black as a raven.
12 O kona mau maka, ua like ia me ko ka manu nunu ma na kahawai, I holoiia i ka waiu, E noho ana me ka maikai.
His eyes as doves upon brooks of waters, which are washed with milk, and sit beside the plentiful streams.
13 O kona mau papalina, ua like ia me ka mala o na mea ala, A me ka ulaula ala hoi; O kona lehelehe, ua like ia me na lilia e kahe mai ana he mura maemae loa.
His cheeks are as beds of aromatical spices set by the perfumers. His lips are as lilies dropping choice myrrh.
14 O kona mau lima, ua like ia me na komo lima gula, I paapu i ka topaza. O kona opu, ua like ia me ka niho elepani, I uhiia hoi i ka sapeira.
His hands are turned and as of gold, full of hyacinths. His belly as of ivory, set with sapphires.
15 O kona uha, ua like ia me na kia pohaku keokeo, Ua kukuluia maluna iho o na kumu gula maemae: O kona helehelena, ua like ia me Lebanona, Maikai hoi e like me na laau kedera.
His legs as pillars of marble, that are set upon bases of gold. His form as of Libanus, excellent as the cedars.
16 O kona waha, he mea ono no ia; Oiaio, he mea makemake nui loa ia oia. Oia ka'u mea i aloha'i, oia ko'u makamaka, E na kaikamahine o Ierusalema.
His throat most sweet, and he is all lovely: such is my beloved, and he is my friend, O ye daughters of Jerusalem.
