Mele a Solomona 1
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1KE Mele o na mele, na Solomona no ia,
1The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
2E honi mai ia'u i na honi o kona waha; No ka mea, ua oi aku kou aloha i ka waina.
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
3No ke ala o kou mea poni maikai, Ua like kou inoa me ka aila ala i nininiia; No ia mea, ua aloha mai na kaikamahine ia oe.
3Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
4E ume mai ia'u, e hahai makou mamuli ou. Ua hookomo mai ke alii ia'u iloko o kona keena; E hauoli makou, a e olioli hoi ia oe; E hoomanao makou i kou aloha mamua o ka waina; Ua aloha aku ka poe pono ia oe.
4Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
5Ua eleele au, ua maikai no nae, E na kaikamahine o Ierusalema; E like me na halelewa o Kedara, E like hoi me na paku lole o Solomona.
5I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6Mai nana mai oukou ia'u, no ka mea, ua eleele au, No ka nana ana mai o ka la ia'u. Ua huhu mai ia'u na keiki a ko'u makuwahine, Ua hoolilo mai lakou ia'u i mea kiai i na malawaina; Aka hoi, o ka'u malawaina, aole au i malama.
6Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7E hai mai ia'u, e ka mea a ko'u uhane i aloha'i, Aila ihea oe i hanai mai. Mahea la oe i hoomaha ai i ke awakea? No ke aha la wau i lilo ai, Me ho wahine la i uhiia, Ma na poe hipa a kou mau hoanoho?
7Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
8Ina, aole oe i ike, E ka mea maikai mawaena o na wahine, E hele oe ma na kapuwai o ka poe hipa, E hanai i kau poe kao keiki, Ma kahi kokoke i na halelewa o ka poe kahuhipa.
8¶ If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.
9Ua hoohalike au ia oe, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, Me he lio wahine la iloko o na kaa o Parao.
9I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.
10Ua hoonaniia kou papalina i na kaula momi, A o kou a-i i na lei maikai.
10Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels , thy neck with chains of gold .
11E hana makou nou i na kaula gula, A me na kaula hoi i paukuia i ke kala.
11We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12I ka noho pu ana o ke alii me kona poe, Ua moani aku la ko'u mea ala.
12¶ While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
13O ka'u mea i aloha'i, he pua mura no ia na'u, E moe iho la ia mawaena o ko'u poli.
13A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
14O ka'u mea i aloha'i, he lala kupero ia na'u, No ka malawaina mai o Enegedi.
14My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, He nani kou, he mau maka manu nunu kou.
15Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.
16Aia hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, he maikai hoi; Ua omaomao no hoi ko kaua wahi moe.
16Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
17Na kaola o ko kaua hale, he laau kedera ia, A me ko kaua mau oa, he laau fira.
17The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
