Mele a Solomona 7
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1NANI wale kou mau wawae iloko o na kamaa, e ke kaikamahine alii! O ke apo o kou mau uha, ua like ia me ka lei o ka a-i, Ka mea a na lima o ka poe akamai i hana'i.
1How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince’s daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2O kou piko me he kiaha poepoe la ia, Aole nele i ka waina ala. O kou opu me he pua palaoa la, Ua nakinakiia i na lilia.
2Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3O kou mau waiu, ua like me na anetelope elua, He mau mahoe anetelope laua.
3Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4O koa a-i, ua like ia me ka halekiai niho elepani; O kou mau maka, me na punawai o Hesebona, Aia ma ka ipuka o Beterabima; O kou ihu ua like ia me ka halekiai o Lebanona, Aia kona alo i Damaseko.
4Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
5O kou poo maluna ou, ua like ia me Karemela, O kou lauoho maluna o kou poo, me he mea ulaula la; Ua paa ke alii iloko o na keena maluna.
5Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
6Manomano kou nani, a me kou maikai, E ka'u mea i aloha'i, no ka olioli!
6How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7O kou kiekie, ua like ia me ka laau pama, A o kou mau waiu me he mau huhui waina la.
7This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes .
8I iho la au, E pii au iluna o ka laau pama, A paa aku au i kona mau lala. Ano, e lilo mai kou mau waiu me he mau huhui waina la; A o ke ala o kou ihu e like me na ohia.
8I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
9A o ke aluna o kou waha me ka waina maikai no ka'u mea i aloha'i, e kahe oluolu ana, A olelo ae la na leheleho o ka poe hiamoe.
9And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
10No ka'u mea i aloha'i owau, A o kona makemake, eia no ia'u.
10¶ I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.
11Ina kaua, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, e hele kaua i ke kula, E noho kaua ma na kauhale.
11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12E ala ae i ke kakahiaka ma ka malawaina, e ike i ka ulu ana o ka waina, E nana i ka pua ana o ka waina, A me ke kupu ana o ka pomeraite; Malaila au e haawi aiiaoei kou aloha.
12Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
13Ua ala mai na dudima, A ma ko makou mau ipuka, aia na hua ono a pau, He mea kahiko, a me ka mea hou, O na mea au i waiho ai nou, e ka'u mea i aloha'i.
13The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits , new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
