Mele a Solomona 7
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
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 your feet in sandals, prince’s daughter! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skillful 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.
2Your body is like a round goblet, no mixed wine is wanting. Your waist is like a heap of wheat, set about with lilies.
3O kou mau waiu, ua like me na anetelope elua, He mau mahoe anetelope laua.
3Your two breasts are like two fawns, that are twins of a roe.
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.
4Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bathrabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks 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.
5Your head on you is like Carmel. The hair of your head like purple. The king is held captive in its tresses.
6Manomano kou nani, a me kou maikai, E ka'u mea i aloha'i, no ka olioli!
6How beautiful and how pleasant you are, 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, your stature, is like a palm tree, your breasts like its fruit.
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 climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit.” Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine, the smell of your breath 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.
9Your mouth is like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.
10No ka'u mea i aloha'i owau, A o kona makemake, eia no ia'u.
10I am my beloved’s. 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’s go out into the field. Let’s 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’s go early up to the vineyards. Let’s see whether the vine has budded, its blossom is open, and the pomegranates are in flower. There I will give you my love.
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 produce fragrance. At our doors are all kinds of precious fruits, new and old, which I have stored up for you, my beloved.
