Canticum Canticorum 3
1 in lectulo meo per noctes quaesivi quem diligit anima mea quaesivi illum et non inveni
ʻI he ʻeku ʻi hoku mohenga ʻi he pō, naʻaku kumi kiate ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie: ne u kumi, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi ia,
2 surgam et circuibo civitatem per vicos et plateas quaeram quem diligit anima mea quaesivi illum et non inveni
Pea ko eni, te u tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu fano ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe kolo mo e ngaahi hala motuʻa, pea te u kumi ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie: ne u kumi kiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ia.
3 invenerunt me vigiles qui custodiunt civitatem num quem dilexit anima mea vidistis
Naʻe ʻiloʻi au ʻe he kau leʻo ʻoku feʻaluʻaki ʻi he kolo; [pea naʻaku fehuʻi ki ai ʻo pehē], “Kuo mou mamata kiate ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie?”
4 paululum cum pertransissem eos inveni quem diligit anima mea tenui eum nec dimittam donec introducam illum in domum matris meae et in cubiculum genetricis meae
Pea kuo tuku siʻi atu ʻakinautolu, pea u ʻilo ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie: pea naʻaku puke ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u toe tukuange ia, kaeʻoua ke u ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo ʻeku faʻē, mo e potu fale ʻoʻona naʻa ne fanauʻi ai au.
5 adiuro vos filiae Hierusalem per capreas cervosque camporum ne suscitetis neque evigilare faciatis dilectam donec ipsa velit
ʻE ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻi hoʻomou ʻofa ki he fanga kāseli mo e hainite ʻoe vao, ke ʻoua naʻa mou ueʻi pe fafangu ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga, kaeʻoua ke faʻiteliha pe ia.
6 quae est ista quae ascendit per desertum sicut virgula fumi ex aromatibus murrae et turis et universi pulveris pigmentarii
Ko hai eni ʻoku haʻu mei he toafa, ʻoku hangē ko e pou ko e kohu ʻoe afi, pea kuo fakanamu lelei ʻaki ʻae mula mo e laipeno, mo e ngaahi kakala kotoa pē mei he kau fakatau?
7 en lectulum Salomonis sexaginta fortes ambiunt ex fortissimis Israhel
Vakai ki he mohenga ʻo Solomone, ʻoku kāpui ia ʻe he kau tangata toʻa ʻe toko onongofulu, mei he kau tangata toʻa ʻo ʻIsileli.
8 omnes tenentes gladios et ad bella doctissimi uniuscuiusque ensis super femur suum propter timores nocturnos
ʻOku nau taki taha toʻo ʻae heletā, he ʻoku nau maheni ai mo e tau: ʻoku taki taha ai ʻene heletā ki hono tuʻa tenga, naʻa ai ha manavahē ʻi he poʻuli.
9 ferculum fecit sibi rex Salomon de lignis Libani
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ha mohenga moʻona, mei he ngaahi ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni.
10 columnas eius fecit argenteas reclinatorium aureum ascensum purpureum media caritate constravit propter filias Hierusalem
Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻaki ʻae siliva ʻa hono pou, pea ko hono faliki ko e koula, ko hono ʻufiʻufi ko e kulokula, pea faliki ʻaki ʻi loto ʻae ʻofa ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema.
11 egredimini et videte filiae Sion regem Salomonem in diademate quo coronavit eum mater sua in die disponsionis illius et in die laetitiae cordis eius
ʻE ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Saione, mou ʻalu atu, ʻo vakai kia Solomone, ko e tuʻi, mo e tatā fakatuʻi naʻe tatā ʻaki ia ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻene fakamaʻu mali, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fiefia ʻa hono loto.
