Solomon Laa 1
1 Laa rhoek khuikah Laa he Solomon kah ni.
The Song of Songs, that [is] Solomon's.
2 Namah hlo tah misurtui lakah then tih a ka dongkah moknah neh kai m'mok lah sue.
Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth, For better [are] thy loves than wine.
3 Namah tah situi bo neh na then pai tih situi loh na ming a puem pai. Te dongah ni hula rhoek long nang n'lungnah.
For fragrance [are] thy perfumes good. Perfume emptied out — thy name, Therefore have virgins loved thee!
4 Namah hnukah kai m'mawt lamtah yong mai sih. Kai he manghai loh amah imhman la n' khuen coeng. Namah ah ka omngaih uh tih ka kohoe uh. Nang kah hlo rhoek tah misurtui lakah ka poek uh tih vanat la nang n'lungnah uh.
Draw me: after thee we run, The king hath brought me into his inner chambers, We do joy and rejoice in thee, We mention thy loves more than wine, Uprightly they have loved thee!
5 Ka muem cakhaw Jerusalem nu rhoek tah Kedar dap banglam khaw, Solomon himbaiyan banglam khaw rhoeprhui mai.
Dark [am] I, and comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As tents of Kedar, as curtains of Solomon.
6 Khomik loh kai n'hmuh tih ka muem dongah nim kai nan hmuh pawh? Ka manu ca rhoek te kai taengah sai tih misurdum aka hung la kai n'khueh uh. Kamah taengkah ka misurdum ka hung pawt ah.
Fear me not, because I [am] very dark, Because the sun hath scorched me, The sons of my mother were angry with me, They made me keeper of the vineyards, My vineyard — my own — I have not kept.
7 Ka hinglu kah a lungnah te kamah taengah thui lah. Melam na luem sak? Khothun ah melam na kol sak? Te boel tah balae tih na hui rhoek kah tuping taengah aka kulup bangla ka om?
Declare to me, thou whom my soul hath loved, Where thou delightest, Where thou liest down at noon, For why am I as one veiled, By the ranks of thy companions?
8 Huta rhoek khuiah sakthen te na ming pawt atah boiva kholaeh ah namah cet. Na maae-ca te aka dawn rhoek kah dungtlungim ah luem sak.
If thou knowest not, O fair among women, Get thee forth by the traces of the flock, And feed thy kids by the shepherds' dwellings!
9 Ka cangyaeh namah tah Pharaoh leng dongkah ka marhang manu kam puet sak.
To my joyous one in chariots of Pharaoh, I have compared thee, my friend,
10 Na kam te aitlaeng neh, na rhawn khaw oidik neh damyal mai.
Comely have been thy cheeks with garlands, Thy neck with chains.
11 Nang hamla sui aitlaeng neh cak hnathawn khaw n'saii bitni.
Garlands of gold we do make for thee, With studs of silver!
12 Kamah kah rhai-ul tah manghai amah loh a caboei dongah a hmuehmuei la a khueh.
While the king [is] in his circle, My spikenard hath given its fragrance.
13 Kamah hlo kah murrah cun tah kamah ham ka rhangsuk laklo ah rhaeh coeng.
A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me, Between my breasts it lodgeth.
14 Kamah taengkah kamah hlo tah Engedi misurdum kah tlansum thaihsu ni.
A cluster of cypress [is] my beloved to me, In the vineyards of En-Gedi!
15 Ka cangyaeh tah na rhoep ne, vahui na mik khaw na sakthen ne.
Lo, thou [art] fair, my friend, Lo, thou [art] fair, thine eyes [are] doves!
16 Ka hlo nang tah na sakthen ne, mah kah soengca hingsuep khaw naepnoi bal.
Lo, thou [art] fair, my love, yea, pleasant, Yea, our couch [is] green,
17 Lamphai tah mah im kah tungpum saeh lamtah hmaical tah mah kah paekhop saeh.
The beams of our houses [are] cedars, Our rafters [are] firs, I [am] a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys!
