On Lal Solomon 3
1 Fong nukewa ke nga oan fin mwe oan kiuk uh Nga nunkal su nga lungse yohk; Nga sokol, ac tia ku in konalak.
On my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.
2 Nga ac tukakek ac som forfor in siti uh; Nga ac fahsr sasla inkanek nukewa Ac sokol su nga lungse yohk. Na nga sokol, ac tia ku in konalak.
I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and squares. I will seek the one I love. So I sought him but did not find him.
3 Mwet topang su forfor taran siti uh elos liyeyuyak. Na nga siyuk selos, “Kowos tiana liye kawuk se luk ah?”
I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city: “Have you seen the one I love?”
4 Nga tufahna som lukelos, na nga konalak. Nga sruokilya ac tia lungse fuhlella Nwe ke na nga pwanulla nu in lohm sin nina kiuk, Nu infukil se na nga tuh isusla we.
I had just passed them when I found the one I love. I held him and would not let go until I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
5 Mutan Jerusalem, kowos in wulema nu sik Ke inen kosro mui ac kato inima uh, Lah kowos fah tia lusrong pacl in pwar lasr uh.
O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
6 Mea se fosryak yen mwesis uh me, oana sru in kulasr soko, Ac keng fohlo oana foulin myrrh ac franku Ma mwet kuka uh kukakin?
Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, scented with myrrh and frankincense from all the spices of the merchant?
7 Solomon el a tuku ingo — utuk na el fin mwe muta lal uh; Mwet mweun onngoul pa atlol tuku. Elos pa solse ma ku oemeet inmasrlon mwet mweun lun Israel.
Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty of the mightiest men of Israel.
8 Elos nukewa pisrla ke orekmakinyen cutlass; Elos mwet na pah ke mweun uh. Kais sie selos us cutlass natul, Akola na nu ke kutena mwe lokoalok ma ac sikyak ke fong.
All are skilled with the sword, experienced in warfare. Each has his sword at his side prepared for the terror of the night.
9 Utuk Tokosra Solomon fin sie mwe muta fulat, Su orekla ke sak ma wo oemeet Lebanon.
King Solomon has made his carriage out of the timber of Lebanon.
10 Kosrusru kac uh nukla ke silver, Ac nuknuk akul uh ke gold oan fac. Ma loeyen mwe muta uh nukla ke nuknuk sroninmutuk, Su tutalla arulana wo sin mutan Jerusalem.
He has made its posts of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple fabric. Its interior is inlaid with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.
11 Mutan in Zion, fahsru liyel Tokosra Solomon. El sunya tefuro se su nina kial tuh oakiya fin sifal Ke len in marut lal, Ke len in engan ac pwar lal.
Come out, O daughters of Zion, and gaze at King Solomon, wearing the crown his mother bestowed on the day of his wedding— the day of his heart’s rejoicing.
