Hiva ʻa Solomone 8
1 ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo ke tatau mo ha tuongaʻane kiate au, ʻaia naʻe fakahuhu ʻi he ongo huhu ʻo ʻeku faʻē! Koeʻuhi ʻo kau ka ʻilo koe ʻituʻa. ke u ʻuma kiate koe, ʻo ʻikai mā ai.
O that thou [wert] as my brother, that was nourished at the breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yes, I should not be despised.
2 Ka ne pehē, te u tataki koe mo ʻomi koe ki he fale ʻo ʻeku faʻē, pea te ne ako kiate au: te u fakainu koe ʻi he uaine namu lelei, kuo huʻi ʻaki ʻeau ʻae huhuʻa melie ʻoe pomikanite.
I would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother's house, [who] would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3 Pea ʻe ʻi lalo ʻi hoku ʻulu ʻa hono nima toʻohema, pea fāʻufua au ʻe hono nima toʻomataʻu.
His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4 ʻE ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa mou ueʻi pe fafangu ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga, kaeʻoua ke faʻiteliha pe ia.
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
5 Ko hai eni ʻoku haʻu mei he toafa, ʻoku faʻaki kiate ia ʻoku ne ʻofa ai? Naʻaku hiki hake koe ʻi he lolo moli: naʻe fanauʻi koe ʻi ai ʻe hoʻo faʻē, naʻe fanauʻi ʻi ai koe ʻe ia naʻa ne fāʻeleʻi koe.
Who [is] this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple-tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth [that] bore thee.
6 ʻAi au ki ho loto ʻo hangē ko e fakamaʻu ʻo ha tohi, pea hangē ko e mama ki ho nima; he ʻoku mālohi ʻae ʻofa ʻo tatau mo e mate; ʻoku ongongataʻa ʻae fuaʻa ʻo hangē ko e faʻitoka: ko hono malala ʻoku hangē ko e malalaʻi afi, ʻaia ʻoku ulo kakaha. (Sheol h7585)
Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals of it [are] coals of fire, [which hath] a most vehement flame. (Sheol h7585)
7 ʻOku ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae ʻofa ʻaki ʻae vai lahi, pea ʻe ʻikai mate ia ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe ʻoku lahi: pea kapau ʻe foaki ʻe ha tangata ʻae koloa kotoa pē ʻi hono fale ka ne maʻu ai ʻae ʻofa, ʻe lau pe ia ko e meʻa vaʻinga.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
8 ʻOku ai homau tehina, pea ʻoku teʻeki hunuki hono huhu: pea ko e hā te mau fai ʻoka hoko ʻae ʻaho ke alea ki ai?
We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9 Kapau ko e ʻā ia, te mau fokotuʻu ki ai ha fale siliva: pea kapau ko e matapā ia, te mau teuteu ʻaki ia ʻae laupapa ko e sita.
If she [is] a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she [is] a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10 Ko au ko e ʻā, pea tatau mo e fale māʻolunga ʻa hoku huhu: ko ia ia naʻaku tatau ai ʻi hono ʻao mo ha taha kuo maʻu ʻae fiemālie.
I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favor.
11 Naʻe ia Solomone ʻae ngoue vaine ʻi Peali-Hamone: pea naʻa ne tuku ʻene ngoue vaine ki he kau tauhi: pea naʻe fekau ke ʻomi taki taha ʻae konga siliva ʻe afe, ko e totongi ki hono ngaahi fua.
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; every one for the fruit of it was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver.
12 ʻOku ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa ʻeku ngoue vaine ʻaʻaku: pea ko koe ʻe Solomone, te ke maʻu mei ai ʻae konga siliva ʻe afe, kae tuku kiate kinautolu ʻoku tauhi hono fua ʻae uangeau.
My vineyard which [is] mine, [is] before me: thou, O Solomon, [must have] a thousand, and those that keep the fruit of it two hundred.
13 ʻA koe ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, pea ʻoku ongoʻi ho leʻo ʻe ho kāinga: tuku au foki ke u fanongo ai.
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear [it].
14 Fai vave ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga, pea ke tatau koe mo e kāseli pe ko e hainite mui he ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe kakala.
Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
