Mele a Solomona 6
1 A ILA ihea i hele ai ka'u mea i aloha'i, E ka mea maikai mawaena o na wahine? Mahea la i huli aku ai kau mea i aloha'i, I imi pu hoi kakou ia ia?
Where is your loved one gone, O most fair among women? Where is your loved one turned away, that we may go looking for him with you?
2 Ua iho ka'u mea i aloha'i ilalo o kona kihapai, I ka mala o na mea ala, E ai ana iloko o ke kihapai, A e ohi hoi i na lilia.
My loved one is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to take food in the gardens, and to get lilies.
3 No ka'u mea i aloha'i owau, A o ka'u mea i aloha'i, no'u ia: E ai ana ia mawaena o na lilia.
I am for my loved one, and my loved one is for me; he takes food among the lilies.
4 Ua maikai oe, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, e like me Tireza, Ua nani hoi e like me Ierusalema; A he mea e makau ai e like me ka poe e amo ana i na hae.
You are beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, as fair as Jerusalem; you are to be feared like an army with flags.
5 E huli aku oe i kou mau maka mai o'u aku nei, No ka mea, ua lanakila laua maluna o'u. O kou lauoho, ua like ia me ka poe kao, E noho ana maluna o Giliada.
Let your eyes be turned away from me; see, they have overcome me; your hair is as a flock of goats which take their rest on the side of Gilead.
6 O kou mau niho, ua like ia me ka poe hipa, E pii mai ana mai ka auau ana mai; Ua hanau palua lakou a pau, Aohe mea pa mawaena o lakou a pau.
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.
7 Me ka apana pomeraite, pela kou mau maka, Iloko o kou pale.
Like pomegranate fruit are the sides of your head under your veil.
8 Aia na wahine alii he kanaono, Elua kanaha haiawahine, A o ka poe puupaa hoi, aole lakou e pau i ka heluia.
There are sixty queens, and eighty servant-wives, and young girls without number.
9 O ka'u manu nunu, ko'u mea maemae, hookahi no ia, He kamakahi ia na kona makuwahine, Oia wale no ka mea i alohaia e ka mea nana ia i hanau mai. Ua ike na kaikamahine ia ia, a hoomaikai aku la lakou; O na alii wahine a me na haiawahine hoi, Ua hoonani pu lakou ia ia.
My dove, my very beautiful one, is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the dearest one of her who gave her birth. The daughters saw her, and gave her a blessing; yes, the queens and the servant-wives, and they gave her praises.
10 Owai keia e nana mai ana e like me ka wehe ana o ke alaula? Ua konale ia e like me ka mahina, Ua maikai hoi ia e like me ka la, A he mea e makau ai e like me ka poe e amo ana i na hae.
Who is she, looking down as the morning light, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, who is to be feared like an army with flags?
11 Ua iho au ilalo o ke kihapai agoza, E nana i na mea uliuli o ke awawa, E ike hoi i ka ulu ana o ka waina, A me ka pua ana o ka pomeraite:
I went down into the garden of nuts to see the green plants of the valley, and to see if the vine was in bud, and the pomegranate-trees were in flower.
12 A emo ole, ua lilo aka ko'u uhane, E like me na kaa o Aminadiba.
Before I was conscious of it, ...
13 E hoi, e hoi mai, e Sulamite, E hoi, e hoi mai i ike makou ia oe. Heaha ka oukou mea e ike ai ia Sulamite? E like me ko na poe kaua elua.
Come back, come back, O Shulammite; come back, come back, so that our eyes may see you. What will you see in the Shulammite? A sword-dance.
