< Waiata a Horomona 3 >

1 I te po, i runga i toku moenga, i rapua e ahau ta toku wairua i aroha ai: i rapua e ahau, heoi kihai i kitea.
In my litle bed Y souyte hym bi niytis, whom my soule loueth; Y souyte hym, and Y foond not.
2 Ka mea ahau, Ka whakatika ahau aianei, ka kopikopiko i roto i te pa, i nga huarahi, i nga waharoa, ka rapu i ta toku wairua i aroha ai: rapua ana ia e ahau, heoi kihai i kitea.
I shal rise, and Y schal cumpasse the citee, bi litle stretis and large stretis; Y schal seke hym, whom my soule loueth; I souyte hym, and Y foond not.
3 I tutaki ki ahau nga kaitiaki e kopikopiko nei i roto i te pa: ano ra ko ahau ki a ratou, I kite ranei koutou i ta toku wairua e aroha nei?
Wakeris, that kepen the citee, founden me. Whether ye sien hym, whom my soule loueth?
4 Pahemo kau atu ratou, kua tutaki ahau ki ta toku wairua e aroha nei; kei te pupuri ahau i a ia, kihai hoki ia i tukua atu e ahau, a kawea noatia atu ia e ahau ki te whare o toku whaea, ki te ruma o te wahine i whanau ai ahau.
A litil whanne Y hadde passid hem, Y foond hym, whom my soule loueth; Y helde hym, and Y schal not leeue hym, til Y brynge him in to the hous of my modir, and in to the closet of my modir.
5 He ki tenei naku ki a koutou, e nga tamahine o Hiruharama, i te aroaro o nga anaterope, o nga hata o te parae, kaua e whakaoho, kaua e whakaara i taku e aroha nei, kia pai ra ano ia.
Ye douytris of Jerusalem, Y charge you greetli, bi the capretis, and hertis of feeldis, that ye reise not, nether make to awake the dereworthe spousesse, til sche wole.
6 Ko wai tenei e whakaputa mai nei i te koraha, ano ko nga pou paowa, kakara tonu i te maira, i te parakihe, i nga puehu katoa a te kaihoko?
Who is this womman, that stieth bi the deseert, as a yerde of smoke of swete smellynge spices, of mirre, and of encence, and of al poudur of an oynement makere?
7 Nana, ko te amo o Horomona; e toru tekau nga tangata marohirohi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, no nga marohirohi o Iharaira.
Lo! sixti stronge men of the strongeste men of Israel cumpassen the bed of Salomon; and alle thei holden swerdis,
8 He hunga mau hoari ratou katoa, he mea whakaako ki te whawhai; kei tona huwha ano te hoari a tenei, a tenei, i te wehi hoki i te po.
and ben moost witti to batels; the swerd of ech man is on his hipe, for the drede of nyytis.
9 I hanga e Kingi Horomona he amo mona, no Repanona te rakau.
Kyng Salomon made to hym a seete, of the trees of Liban;
10 Ko ona pou i hanga e ia ki te hiriwa, he koura a raro, he papura tona nohoanga, he mea whariki a waenganui ki te aroha, no nga tamahine o Hiruharama.
he made the pilers therof of siluer; he made a goldun restyng place, a stiyng of purpur; and he arayede the myddil thingis with charite, for the douytris of Jerusalem.
11 Haere, e nga tamahine o Hiona, ka matakitaki i a Kingi Horomona, me te karauna ano i karaunatia ai ia e tona whaea i te ra o tona marenatanga, i te ra hoki i koa ai tona ngakau.
Ye douytris of Sion, go out, and se kyng Salomon in the diademe, bi which his modir crownede hym, in the dai of his spousyng, and in the dai of the gladnesse of his herte.
