Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1O that you were to me like a brother who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.
1I NA paha oe i like me ko'u kaikunane, Ka mea i omo i ka waiu o ko'u makuwahine! A i loaa oe ia'u mawaho, e honi no au ia oe, Aole hoi au e hoowahawahaia.
2I would lead you and bring you to the house of my mother who taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.
2A e alakai no hoi au ia oe, a e hookomo ia oe Iloko o ka hale o ko'u makuwahine, ka mea nana au i ao mai. E hoohainu au ia oe i ka waina ala, No ka waina hou o ko'u pomeraite.
3His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
3Aia malalo iho o ko'u poo kona lima hema, A o kona lima akau, ua apo mai ia'u.
4O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.
4Ke kauoha aku nei au ia oukou, e na kaikamahine o Ierusalema, E hooluliluli ole aku oukou, a e hoala ole aku i ka'u mea i aloha'i, A ala wale mai ia.
5Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.
5Owai keia e pii mai nei mai ka waoakua mai, E hilinai ana maluna o kana mea i aloha'i? Ua hoala aku au ia oe, malalo iho o ka laau ohia; Malaila, ua hanau mai kou makuwahine ia oe, Malaila, ua hanau mai ia oe ka mea nana oe i hanau mai.
6Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all.
6E kau mai ia'u i hoailona maluna o kou naau, I hoailona hoi maluna o kou lima; No ka mea, o ke aloha, ua ikaika ia e like me ka make; O ka lili, ua paa loa ia e like me ka luakupapau; O kona lapalapa ana, o ka lapalapa ana no ia o ke ahi wela loa.
7Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.
7Aole pio ke aloha i na wai he nui loa, Aole ia e mokuhia e na wai kahe; Ina e haawi aku ke kanaka i ka waiwai a pau o kona hale i lilo mai ke aloha, E hoowahawaha loa ia ia mau mea.
8We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?
8Ke kaiku wahine uuku o makou, aole ona waiu, Heaha ka mea a makou e hana'i no ko makou kaikuwahine, I ka la i hoopalauia'i oia?
9If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver to protect her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
9Ina he pa oia, e kukulu makou maluna ona he halepakui kala; Ina he puka oia, e uhi makou ia ia i na laau kedera.
10I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.
10He pa no wau, A o ko'u mau waiu e like ia me ka halekiai: Alaila, ua like au i kona mau maka, me he mea la i alohaia mai.
11Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.
11He malawaina na Solomona ma Baalahamona; Ua hoolimalima aku oia i kana malawaina i ka poe nana i malama; Ua lawe mai kela kanaka, keia kanaka i hookahi tausani apana kala i uku no ka hua waina.
12But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.
12O ka'u malawaina, ia'u no ia, eia no imua o'u, He tausani kau, e Solomona, A elua haneri na ka poe malama i ka hua.
13You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!
13E ka mea e noho ana ma na kihapai, Ua lohe ka poe hoanoho i kou leo; E ae mai oe i lohe au.
14Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
14E wikiwiki oe, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, E hoohalike ia oe iho me ka anetelope, a me ka dia keiki, Maluna o na mauna ala.
