Solomon Laa 7
1 Na kho te hlangcong canu kah khokhom neh sawtthen tangkik. Na phai dongkah phaibong khaw kutthai kut kah bibi neh himbai bangla om.
How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess! Your curved thighs are like ornaments made by a master craftsman.
2 Na yenrhui te kueluek baeldung bangla homtui long khaw vaitah pawh. Na bungko te khaw tuilipai loh cang hlom neh a ven.
Your navel is like a round bowl—may it never lack spiced wine! Your abdomen is like a mound of wheat surrounded by lilies.
3 Na rhangsuk rhoi tah sakhi rhuinu caphae ca rhoi van pawn ni.
Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
4 Na rhawn tah rhaltoeng vueino van pawn ni. Na mik tah Bathrabbim vongka kah Heshbon tuibuem van pawn ni. Na hnarhong tah Damasku rhaldan aka tawt Lebanon rhaltoengim van pawn ni.
Your neck is as elegant as a tower made of ivory. Your eyes shine like the pools of Heshbon by the Bathrabbin gate. Your nose is beautiful, prominent like the tower in Lebanon that faces Damascus.
5 Na sokah na lu tah Karmel tlang van pawn ni. Na lu samloeng tah manghai sammuei, daidi samdueng van pawn ni.
Your head is as magnificent as Mount Carmel; your black hair has a purple sheen, as if a king was held captive in your locks!
6 Lungnah, omthenbawnnah neh sawtthen tangkik tih hmae tangkik.
How beautiful you are, my love—how attractive are your charms!
7 Na sang loh rhophoe a puet tih na rhangsuk loh thaihsu coeng he.
You are as tall and slender as a palm tree; your breasts are like its clusters of fruit.
8 “Rhophoe dongah ka yoeng saeh lamtah a koi te ka hlan eh?,’ ka ti. Na rhangsuk tah misur thaihsu bangla om laeh saeh. Na hnarhong hmueih tah thaihthawn van pawn ni.
I tell myself, “I will climb the palm tree and take hold of the fruit.” May your breasts be like bunches of grapes on the vine, and your breath have the scent of apples!
9 Na ka tah misurtui then van pawn ni. Kamah hlo taengah caeh vaengah no neh lai khaw vanat la khuep uh.
May your kisses be like the best wine, going down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth.
10 Kamah he kamah hlo kah coeng tih a lungdueknah tah kamah ham saeh.
My love is mine, and I am the one he desires!
11 Kamah hlo aw halo lamtah pong la cet lah sih, vangca ah khaw rhaeh mai sih.
Come, my love, let's go out into the countryside, and spend the night among the henna flowers.
12 Thoo sih, misurdum te so sih. Misur khaw a cuen khaming, thaihmoe loh culh tih tale khaw khooi coeng. Teah te kamah hlo te nang taengah kam pae eh.
Let's go early to the vineyards and see if the vines have budded and are in flower, and if the pomegranates are blossoming. There I will give my love to you.
13 Hloih he a bo rhim. Tedae mah kah thohka ah cangtham he a rhuem a thai la cungkuem tih ka hlo nang ham ka khoem.
The mandrakes give off their fragrant scent; we are surrounded by all kinds of delights, new as well as old, which I have saved up for you, my love.
