Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1On my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.
1MALUNA o ko'u wahi moe, i ka po, Ua imi au i ka'u mea i aloha'i; Imi au ia ia, aole nae i loaa.
2I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and squares. I will seek the one I love. So I sought him but did not find him.
2E ku au iluna, ano, e hele a puni ke kulanakauhale, Ma na alanui, a me na wahi akea, E imi i ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i; Ua imi au ia ia, aole nae i loaa.
3I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city: “Have you seen the one I love?”
3Ua loaa au i ka poe kiai, Ka poe hele a puni ke kulanakauhale; I aku la au, Ua ike anei oukou i ka'u mea i aloha'i?
4I had just passed them when I found the one I love. I held him and would not let go until I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
4Aole liuliu ko'u hele ana mai o lakou aku, A loaa mai ia'u ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i; Ua lalau au ia ia, aole nae e hookuu aku; A hookomo au ia ia iloko o ka hale o ko'u makuwahine, A iloko o ke keena o ka mea nana au i hanau mai.
5O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
5Ke kauoha aku nei au ia oukou, e na kaikamahine o Ierusalema, Ma na anetelope a me na dia o ke kula, E hooluliluli ole aku oukou, a e hoala ole i ka'u mea i aloha'i, a ala wale mai ia.
6Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, scented with myrrh and frankincense from all the spices of the merchant?
6Owai keia e hoea mai ana mai ka waonahele mai, E like me na punohu uwahi? Ua moani mai kona mura, a me koua libano, A me na mea ala a pau a ka mea kalepa.
7Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty of the mightiest men of Israel.
7Aia hoi, o kona wahi e moe ai, no Solomona ia, He kanaono kanaka koa [e ku ana] a puni ia, He poe ikaika o ka Iseraela.
8All are skilled with the sword, experienced in warfare. Each has his sword at his side prepared for the terror of the night.
8Ua lalau lakou a pau i na pahikaua, He poe akamai lakou i ke kaua; Aia no ka pahi a kela mea keia mea ma kona uha, No ka makau i ka po.
9King Solomon has made his carriage out of the timber of Lebanon.
9Hana iho la ke alii o Solomona i hale auamo nona, I ka laau o Lebanona.
10He has made its posts of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple fabric. Its interior is inlaid with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.
10Hana iho la oia i na kia he kala; A o ke kino, hana iho la i ke gula; O ka noho ona, he mea ulaula ia; Ua kipapaia kona walua i ke aloha, No na kaikamahine mai o Ierusalema.
11Come out, O daughters of Zion, and gaze at King Solomon, wearing the crown his mother bestowed on the day of his wedding— the day of his heart’s rejoicing.
11E puka iwaho, e na kaikamahine o Ziona, a e ike i ke alii ia Solomona, Me kona papale alii, ka mea a kona makuwahine i kau maluna ona, I kona la i mareia'i, i ka la i olioli ai kona naau.
