Soromoni' 1
1 Mika zagametamima agatere'nea zagame Solomoni kre'nea zagamere.
This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
2 Nagira antako nehunka nagira no. Na'ankure kavesima nenantana zamofo haga'amo'a waini timofo haga'a agatere'ne.
Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
3 Kavufagare'ma fre'nana mananentake masavemo'a, knare mna vu'ne. Kagimo'a mananentake zama tagitreankna nehie. E'ina hu'negeno kasefa a'neramimo'za kagritera tusi'zana nehaze.
The fragrance of the cologne on your [skin] is [very] sweet/pleasing [CHI]. And your reputation is [very] good and spreads, [like] [SIM] the fragrance of the special oil spread on your skin. That is why the [other] young women are attracted to you.
4 Navregeta tagareta va'maneno. Kini ne'mo'a navareno noma'arega vu'ne. Jerusalemi mofa'nemo'za hu'za, Kini ne'moka kagrikura tusi muse hugahune. Waini tima husgama hunentona zana agatereta, kagrira husga hugantegahune. Mofamo'a huno, Kagra knare zantfa hu'nanku, husga hunegantaze.
Take me quickly; take me to your home. [It is as though] you are my king; take me into your room. We are very happy [DOU] about you; we say that your love [for each other] is better than wine. It is not surprising that the other young women adore you.
5 Jerusalemi mofa'neramimotma antahiho, navufgamo'a hokonke hu'neanagi, hentofaza nehuno, Kedari vahe'mofo seli nontaminkna nehuno, Solomoni seli nomofo tavravegna hu'ne.
You women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful; my dark skin is like [SIM] the tents in Kedar, [or] like the beautiful curtains in Solomon’s palace.
6 Navufgamo'ma hokonke'ma hu'nea zankura uruhara onageho. Na'ankure zagemo navufga te hokonke hu'ne. Nasarahehe'za tusi zamarimpa ahenante'za waini hozatia kegava huo hu'za hazage'na kegava nehu'na, nagra waini hozani'a kevga osu'noe.
[But] do not stare at me because of the sun having caused my skin to become dark; my brothers were angry with me, [so] they forced me to work [out in the sunshine] in the vineyards, so I was not able to take good care of my body/skin [CHI, MET].
7 Nagu'areti'ma hu'na navesi negantoa ronenimoka, iga menina sipisipi afu kevuka'a avrenka vugahane. Kinaga iga sipisipi afuka'a ome zamantenka manigasa hugahane. Nahanige'na savri a'nenegnara hu'na kagri kavumo'zama sipisipi afutmima kegavama nehazafina vano hugahue.
You whom I [SYN] love, where will you take your flock of sheep today? Where will you allow them to rest at noontime? I want to know because it is not right [RHQ] for me to wander around like a prostitute looking for you among the flocks that belong to your friends.
8 Hentofa a'moka antahinka kenkama osu'nesunka, sipisipi afu kevu'nimofo agaka avaririnka neone meme afuka'aramina sipisipi kva vahetmimofo seli nomofo tvaonte eme zamantege'za trazana neho.
You who are the most beautiful of all the women, if you [search for me and] do not know [where I will take my sheep], follow the tracks/footprints of the sheep. [Then] allow your young goats to (graze/eat grass) near the shepherds’ tents.
9 Navesima negantoa navate ronenimoka, Fero karisiramimofo amu'nompi karisi renteno avazu nehia a' hosi afukna kagra hu'nane.
You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.
10 Kameragemo'a knarezantfa higeno, kagesafima rente'nana rinimo'a kazeri hentofaza higeno, knankempima rente'nana pasesumo'a kazeri hentofaza hu'ne.
Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.

We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
12 Kini ne'mo'ma ne'zama nenea tratema mani'negeno'a, nagrama navufgare'ma fre'noa masavemofo mana'amo'a ana nompina avi'nete.
While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
13 Avesima nenantea ne'mo'a tare amintrenimofo amunompima mananentake'za merema anakintogeno meankna hu'ne.
The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.

He is like [MET] a bunch of flowers from the vineyards at En-Gedi.

You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
16 Navesima negantoa ne'moka kagra hentofaza hunka kagi kagonane ne' mani'nane. Kagra maka vahera agaterenka hentofa ne' mani'nane. Zamana zamana trazamo'a tagri tafe me'ne.
You who love me, you are very delightful/handsome, you are wonderful! This green grass will be [like] a couch [where we lie down].
17 Nonti'ama ki'nazana, nomofo amagena zafa sida zafanu nente'za, meni zafanu nontamina runkre hugahaze.
[Branches of] cedar [trees] will shade us; [it is as though branches of] juniper/pine [trees] will be like [MET] a roof [over our heads].
