Song of Solomon 1
1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
Zailom: Hiche hi Solomon la ho lah’a apipen, adang jouse sanga thupi ahi.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For thy love is better than wine.
Mounu: Neichop in lang, avel in neichop in, ajeh chu nei deibolna chu lengpitwi sang in jong alhumjoi.
3 Thine ointments savour sweetly; Thy name is an ointment poured forth: Therefore do the virgins love thee.
Gimnamtwi nakinu chu iti namtwija hitam, namin ngei hi agim namtwi kitungdoh tobang ahi. Akidang poi, khangdong nungah jousen hibang loma nahin deiju hi!
4 Draw me, we will run after thee! — The king hath brought me into his chambers — We will be glad and rejoice in thee, We will remember thy love more than wine. They love thee uprightly.
Kei jong neipuijin, hung in; kijam ta hite! Lengpan ajalna pindan’ah ei puilut hen. Zailom: Iti kahin kipapiu hitam, O Lengpa. Na milungset dan hi lengpitwi sang in ka ngaisang jouve. Mounu: Nahin ngaisangnau hi adih tangeiye!
5 I am black, but comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon.
Keima ka vouso avom vang'in kamelhoi nai, Vo Jerusalem Chanute-Cedar phaiya ponbuh kisongho banga vom, Solomon pondal banga vom chu ka hinai.
6 Look not upon me, because I am black; Because the sun hath looked upon me. My mother's children were angry with me: They made me keeper of the vineyards; Mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Kavouso avom jeh-in, Neihin vehih-uvin-nisan ei kahdup jeh ahibouve. Ka sopi pasal ho ka chung ah alunghang uve, alengpi leiju vekol ding in eino uvin, hijeh chun kei le kei ka kijen joupoi; keima lengpilei ka kivet kol man poi.
7 Tell me, thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest [thy flock], Where thou makest it to rest at noon; For why should I be as one veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions?
Nei seipeh-in, O goldei, tuni na kelngoi honho hoilama na puiding ham? Sun teng hoikoma na kol sah ding ham? Ajeh chu keima hi noti banga naloi-napaiho chule kelngoite lah’a iti ka vavai le jeng thei ding ham?
8 If thou know not, thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' booths.
Moulang: Na het loule, O nungah melhoipen nu; ka kelngoi ho kikaina nung juiyin lang, kelngoi chingho ponbuh vel’a chun na kelchate vah-in.
9 I compare thee, my love, To a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
O ka deinu, na nunnop dan hi Pharaoh sakol lagol lah-a khat toh nabang’e.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with bead-rows, Thy neck with ornamental chains.
Na bengmai alangtoa hi iti deium hitam! Na bilba tenin asal emsel jeng’e! Nangong jong iti dei um hitam, na sana bilba hung kailha chun ajem hoi be cheh-e.
11 We will make thee bead-rows of gold With studs of silver.
Zailom: Sanavui sempeh-ungting, kicheina ding dangkavui toh thosah-unge.
12 While the king is at his table, My spikenard sendeth forth its fragrance.
Mounu: Lengpa jalkhun chung ah alum in, gimnamtwi ka kinu gimnam hi aki tunglut jel jeng’e.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved unto me; He shall pass the night between my breasts.
Ka goldeipa hi ka ang-a Myrrh gim namtwi theineo kikhai abangin ahi.
14 My beloved is unto me a cluster of henna-flowers In the vineyards of Engedi.
Ama hi En-gedi lengpileiya henna pahcha-boh toh abange.
15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; Behold, thou art fair: thine eyes are doves.
Moulang: Iti hoiya hoi nahi hitam, O ka goldei nu! Namit teni hi vakho te abang jeng’e.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; Also our bed is green.
Mounu: Nangma jong na hoi ngeije, O goldei, kam’a seidoh jou hoi hilouvin dei na um nalom’e! Hampa dong nem hiuheo khu i-jalkhun lhon ding in alom e.
17 The beams of our houses are cedars, Our rafters are cypresses.
Namtwi tah Cedar thingbah ho jeng jong i-inkam lhon ding in apang uvin, chahthing ho jeng jong i-insun lhon ding in apang’uve.
