Mele a Solomona 4
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A IA hoi, he nani kou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, aia hoi, he nani kou; O kou mau maka, ua like me na maka manu nunu, Iloko o kou pale; Ua like kou lauoho me ko ka poe kao, I ko lakou noho ana ma ka mauna o Giliada.
1How beautiful art thou, my love, how beautiful art thou! thy eyes are doves’ eyes, besides what is hid within. Thy hair is as flocks of goats, which Come up from mount Galaad.
2Ua like kou mau niho me ka poe hipa i akoia, E hele mai ana, mai ka auau ana mai; Ua hanau palua lakou a pau, Aohe mea pa mawaena o lakou a pau.
2Thy teeth as flocks of sheep, that are shorn which come up from the washing, all with twins, and there is none barren among them.
3Ua like kou mau lehelehe me ke kaula ulaula, A ua maikai kau olelo ana; E like me ka apana pomeraite, pela kou mau maka, Iloko o kou pale.
3Thy lips are as a scarlet lace: and thy speech sweet. Thy cheeks are as a piece of a pomegranate, besides that which lieth hid within.
4O kou a-i, ua like ia me ka halekiai o Davida, I kukuluia'i i hale kahiko kaua. Ua kau lakou malaila i hookahi tausani palekaua; He mau palekana lakou a pau no ka poe koa.
4Thy neck, is as the tower of David, which is built with bulwarks: a thousand bucklers hang upon it, all the armour of valiant men.
5O ko'u mau waiu, ua like ia me na anetelope i hanau palua ia, E ai ana mawaena o na lilia.
5Thy two breasts like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
6A i ka wa oluolu o ka la, a auhee na aka, E hele au i ka mauna mura, a i ka puu libano.
6Till the day break, and the shadows retire, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7He nani loa kou a pau, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, Aole ou wahi kina iki.
7Thou art all fair, O my love, and there is not a spot in thee.
8E hele pu me au, mai Lebanona mai, e ka'u wahine, Me au pu, mai Lebanona mai, E nana mai ka piko mai o Amana, Mai ka piko mai o Sinera, a me Heremona, Mai ka lua mai o na liona, A mai ka mauna mai o na leopadi.
8Come from Libanus, my spouse, come from Libanus, come: thou shalt be crowned from the top of Amana, from the top of Sanir and Hermon, from the dens of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.
9Ua hooeha mai oe i ko'u naau, e ko'u kaikuwahine, e ka'u wahine; Ua hooeha mai oe i ko'u naau me kekahi o kou mau maka, Me kekahi lei hoi o kou a-i.
9Thou hast wounded my heart, my sister, my spouse, thou hast wounded my heart with one of thy eyes, and with one hair of thy neck.
10Nani kou aloha, e ko'u kaikuwahine, e ka'u wahine! Maikai kou aloha mamua o ka waina, A me ke ala o kou mea kahinu, Mamua o na mea ala a pau loa.
10How beautiful are thy breasts, my sister, my spouse! thy breasts are more beautiful than wine, and the sweet smell of thy ointments above all aromatical spices.
11O kou lehelehe, e ka'u wahine, ua haule ka meli malaila iho; Aia malalo iho o kou elelo, ka meli a me ka waiu; A o ke ala o kou kapa, Ua like ia me ke ala o Lebanona.
11Thy lips, my spouse, are as a dropping honeycomb, honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments, as the smell of frankincense.
12O ko'u kaikuwahine, o ka'u wahine, he kihapai ia i paa i ka pa, He kiowai i uhiia, he punawai hoi i kapiliia.
12My sister, my spouse, is a garden enclosed, a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed up.
13O kou mau kawowo, o ke kihapai pomeraite no ia me na hua ono, O ke kupero me ka naredo:
13Thy plants are a paradise of pomegranates with the fruits of the orchard. Cypress with spikenard.
14O ka na naredo, a me ke keroko, a me ke kalamo, a me ke kinemona, Me na laau ala a pau, o ka mura a me ka aloe, Me na mea ala maikai a pau.
14Spikenard and saffron, sweet cane and cinnamon, with all the trees of Libanus, myrrh and aloes with all the chief perfumes.
15O ka punawai o na kihapai, o ka luawai o ka wai ola, A me na wai kahe mai Lebanona mai.
15The fountain of gardens: the well of living waters, which run with a strong stream from Libanus.
16E ala mai, e ka makani kukulu akau, E ka makani kukulu hema, e hele mai; E pa mai i ko'u kihapai i moani aku kona mea ala. E komo mai, o ka'u mea i aloha'i iloko o kona kihapai, E ai ia i ka hua o kona kihapai.
16Arise, O north wind, and come, O south wind, blow through my garden, and let the aromatical spices thereof flow.
