Hiva ʻa Solomone 4
1 Vakai, ʻoku ke hoihoifua, ʻE hoku ʻofaʻanga; vakai, ʻoku ke hoihoifua; ʻoku tatau ho mata mo e mata ʻoe lupe ʻoku fakalilo ʻaki ho louʻulu: pea ko ho louʻulu ʻoku hangē ko e louʻulu ʻoe fanga kosi, ʻoku fafanga ʻi he moʻunga ko Kiliati.
Behold, you are fair, my companion; behold, you are fair; your eyes are doves, beside your veil: your hair is as flocks of goats, that have appeared from Galaad.
2 ʻOku tatau ho kaunifo mo e fanga sipi kuo kosikosi, pea ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he kaukauʻi; he ʻoku taki ʻuhiua ʻa honau ʻuhiki, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke paʻa ha taha ʻi ai.
Your teeth are as flocks of shorn [sheep], that have gone up from the washing; all of them bearing twins, and there is not a barren one among them.
3 ʻOku tatau mo e afo kulokula ho loungutu; pea ʻoku mālie ho leʻo; pea ʻoku tatau mo e konga pomikanite ʻa ho manifinifihanga ʻoku fakalilo ʻaki ho louʻulu.
Your lips are as a thread of scarlet, and your speech is comely: like the rind of a pomegranate is your cheek without your veil.
4 ʻOku tatau ho kia mo e fale māʻolunga naʻe langa ʻe Tevita ko e tukuʻanga ʻoe mahafutau, ʻaia ʻoku tautau ai ʻae fakaū ʻe afe, ʻae pā kotoa pē ʻoe kau tangata toʻa.
Your neck is as the tower of David, that was built for an armory: a thousand shields hang upon it, [and] all darts of mighty men.
5 ʻOku tatau ho ongo huhu mo e ongo kāseli mui ʻoku na tatau, ʻaia ʻoku kai ʻi he potu ʻoe ngaahi lile.
Your two breasts are as two twin fawns, that feed among the lilies.
6 Te u ʻalu au ki he moʻunga ʻoe mula, mo e moʻunga ʻoe laipeno, pea te u ʻi ai ʻo aʻu ki he maʻa hake ʻae ʻaho, mo e puna atu ʻoe fakapoʻuli.
Until the day dawn, and the shadows depart, I will betake me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7 ʻE hoku ʻofaʻanga, ʻoku ke hoihoifua haohaoa; ʻoku ʻikai ha mele ʻiate koe.
You are all fair, my companion, and there is no spot in you.
8 Haʻu mo au mei Lepanoni, ʻE hoku uaifi, haʻu mo au mei Lepanoni; sio hifo mei he tumutumu ʻo ʻAmana, mei he tumutumu ʻo Senila mo Heamoni, mei he ʻana ʻoe fanga laione, mei he ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe fanga lēpati.
Come from Libanus, [my] bride, come from Libanus: you shall come and pass from the top of Faith, from the top of Sanir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9 ʻE hoku tuofefine mo hoku uaifi, kuo kavea hoku loto kiate koe; kuo mole hoku loto ʻi he sio mai tuʻo taha pe ʻa ho mata, mo e kahoa pe taha ʻi ho kia.
My sister, [my] spouse, you have ravished my heart; you have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.
10 Hono ʻikai matamatalelei ʻa hoʻo ʻofa, ʻE hoku tuofefine mo hoku uaifi! Hono ʻikai lelei hake hoʻo ʻofa ʻi he uaine, mo e nanamu ʻo hoʻo ngaahi meʻa tākai ʻi he meʻa namu kakala kotoa pē.
How beautiful are your breasts, my sister, my spouse! how much more beautiful are your breasts than wine, and the smell of your garments than all spices!
11 ʻE hoku uaifi, ʻoku toʻi ho loungutu ʻo hangē ko e hone mei hono ngeʻesi: ʻoku ʻi lalo ʻi ho ʻelelo ʻae hone mo e huʻahuhu; pea ko e nanamu ʻo ho ngaahi kofu ʻoku tatau mo e nanamu ʻo Lepanoni.
Your lips drop honeycomb, my spouse: honey and milk are under your tongue; and the smell of your garments is as the smell of Libanus.
12 ʻOku tatau mo e ngoue kuo ʻāʻi, ʻa hoku tuofefine mo hoku uaifi; ko e vai mapunopuna ia kuo taʻofia, ko e matavai ia kuo tāpuni ke maʻu.
My sister, [my] spouse is a garden enclosed; a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed.
13 Ko ia ʻoku tupu ʻiate koe ʻoku tatau mo e ngoue pomikanite mo hono ngaahi fua lelei; ko e saipalesi mo e naatosi,
Your shoots are a garden of pomegranates, with the fruit of choice berries; camphor, with spikenard:
14 Ko e naatosi mo e kakosi; ko e kalamusi mo e sinamoni, mo e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku namu lelei; ko e mula mo e ʻalosi, mo e fungani hake ʻoe ngaahi kakala kotoa pē:
spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon; with all woods of Libanus, myrrh, aloes, with all chief spices:
15 Ko e matavai ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, ko e matavai ʻoe ngaahi vai moʻui, mo e ngaahi vaitafe mei Lepanoni.
a fountain of a garden, and a well of water springing and gurgling from Libanus.
16 ʻE matangi tokelau, ke ke ʻaa pea haʻu mo e tonga; ʻo havilivili ki heʻeku ngoue, koeʻuhi ke ngangatu mei ai ʻae ngaahi namu kakala. Tuku ke haʻu ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga ki heʻene ngoue, mo ne kai ai hono ngaahi fua lelei.
Awake, O north wind; and come, O south; and blow through my garden, and let my spices flow out.
