Song of Solomon 4
1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are as doves behind thy veil: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that lie along the side of mount Gilead.
A IA hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, aia hoi, he nani kou; O kou mau maka, ua like me na maka manu nunu, Iloko o kou pale; Ua like kou lauoho me ko ka poe kao, I ko lakou noho ana ma ka mauna o Giliada.
2 Thy teeth are like a flock [of ewes] that are [newly] shorn, which are come up from the washing; whereof every one hath twins, and none is bereaved among them.
Ua like kou mau niho me ka poe hipa i akoia, E hele mai ana, mai ka auau ana mai; Ua hanau palua lakou a pau, Aohe mea pa mawaena o lakou a pau.
3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy mouth is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind thy veil.
Ua like kou mau lehelehe me ke kaula ulaula, A ua maikai kau olelo ana; E like me ka apana pomeraite, pela kou mau maka, Iloko o kou pale.
4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all the shields of the mighty men.
O kou a-i, ua like ia me ka halekiai o Davida, I kukuluia'i i hale kahiko kaua. Ua kau lakou malaila i hookahi tausani palekaua; He mau palekana lakou a pau no ka poe koa.
5 Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe, which feed among the lilies.
O ko'u mau waiu, ua like ia me na anetelope i hanau palua ia, E ai ana mawaena o na lilia.
6 Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
A i ka wa oluolu o ka la, a auhee na aka, E hele au i ka mauna mura, a i ka puu libano.
7 Thou art all fair, my love; and there is no spot in thee.
He nani loa kou a pau, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, Aole ou wahi kina iki.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, [my] bride, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
E hele pu me au, mai Lebanona mai, e ka'u wahine, Me au pu, mai Lebanona mai, E nana mai ka piko mai o Amana, Mai ka piko mai o Sinera, a me Heremona, Mai ka lua mai o na liona, A mai ka mauna mai o na leopadi.
9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] bride; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
Ua hooeha mai oe i ko'u naau, e ko'u kaikuwahine, e ka'u wahine; Ua hooeha mai oe i ko'u naau me kekahi o kou mau maka, Me kekahi lei hoi o kou a-i.
10 How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] bride! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all manner of spices!
Nani kou aloha, e ko'u kaikuwahine, e ka'u wahine! Maikai kou aloha mamua o ka waina, A me ke ala o kou mea kahinu, Mamua o na mea ala a pau loa.
11 Thy lips, [O my] bride, drop [as] the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
O kou lehelehe, e ka'u wahine, ua haule ka meli malaila iho; Aia malalo iho o kou elelo, ka meli a me ka waiu; A o ke ala o kou kapa, Ua like ia me ke ala o Lebanona.
12 A garden shut up is my sister, [my] bride; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
O ko'u kaikuwahine, o ka'u wahine, he kihapai ia i paa i ka pa, He kiowai i uhiia, he punawai hoi i kapiliia.
13 Thy shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits; henna with spikenard plants,
O kou mau kawowo, o ke kihapai pomeraite no ia me na hua ono, O ke kupero me ka naredo:
14 Spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.
O ka na naredo, a me ke keroko, a me ke kalamo, a me ke kinemona, Me na laau ala a pau, o ka mura a me ka aloe, Me na mea ala maikai a pau.
15 [Thou art] a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and flowing streams from Lebanon.
O ka punawai o na kihapai, o ka luawai o ka wai ola, A me na wai kahe mai Lebanona mai.
16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his precious fruits.
E ala mai, e ka makani kukulu akau, E ka makani kukulu hema, e hele mai; E pa mai i ko'u kihapai i moani aku kona mea ala. E komo mai, o ka'u mea i aloha'i iloko o kona kihapai, E ai ia i ka hua o kona kihapai.
