On Lal Solomon 1
1 Pa inge on ma kato emeet, ma Solomon el orala.
This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
2 Nga ke kom in arulana ngokla mutuk; Lungse lom uh los liki na wain uh.
Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
3 Oasr foul na keng se keim; Ke pacl inem ac fwack uh, nga sifil pacna esamak foul keng sac. Wangin mutan ku in kutongya lungse la nu sum.
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 Usyu nga in wi kom, ac kut ac fah kaingla; Kom in tokosra luk ac pwenyuwot nu infukil sum. Kut ac fah tukeni ac arulana engan, Nga yukin lungse lom uh yohk liki kutena ma. Pwaye sin mutan uh in lungse kom!
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 Mutan Jerusalem, nga ne sroalsroal tuh nga oasku. Nga sroalsroal oana lohm nuknuk in acn mwesis Kedar, Tuh nga kato oana lisrlisr inkul fulat sel Solomon.
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 Nimet pilesreyu mu nga sroalsroal, Mweyen faht uh pa tuhneyula uh. Tamulel luk elos tuh kasrkusrak sik Ac sap nga orekma ke ima in grape. Na wangin pacl luk in karinginyu sifacna.
[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 Kom su nga lungse yohk, fahkma nu sik, Kom ac pwen un sheep nutum an in mongo oya? Elos ac mongla ya ke pacl faht uh fol ke infulwen len uh? Efu ku ngan suk kom Inmasrlon un sheep nutin mwet shepherd ngia?
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 Ya kom tia etu acn sac, kom su oasku liki mutan nukewa? Fahla ukweot na un sheep uh Twe konauk acn nani nutum an in mongo we Apkuran nu ke lohm nuknuk sin mwet shepherd ngia.
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 Kom su nga lungse na pwaye, lumom arulana kato Oana horse mutan ma amakin chariot okoal Tokosra Egypt.
You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.
10 Aunsifom oaskulana ke oan likintupom uh, Ac putati sisken kwawom oana wek saok uh.
Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.
11 Kut ac fah orala soko sein gold ah lom, Ac nawela ke mwe yun silver.
We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
12 Ke tokosra luk el oan infukil sel, Ono keng keik uh nwakla in lohm uh ke foul wo.
While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
13 Ke mukul kawuk luk el elongak iniwuk, El oana sie nwana keng orekla ke myrrh.
The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.
14 El su saok sik el oana sie ros inima uh Su farngelik inima grape in acn Engedi.
He is like [MET] a bunch of flowers from the vineyards at En-Gedi.
15 Mutan saok sik, kom arulana oasku, Motom saromrom ke ngetnget in lungse lom!
You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
16 Mukul kawuk luk, kom kato na pwaye sik, Nga arulana pwar sum! Mah folfol uh pa ac fah mwe oan kiuktal.
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 Sak cedar pa srulun loaloa nu ke lohm sesr, Ac sak cypress pa ac srulun siling lasr uh.
[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].
