1Laa rhoek khuikah Laa he Solomon kah ni.
1THE SONG of songs, which is Solomon's.
2Namah hlo tah misurtui lakah then tih a ka dongkah moknah neh kai m'mok lah sue.
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for thy love is better than wine.
3Namah tah situi bo neh na then pai tih situi loh na ming a puem pai. Te dongah ni hula rhoek long nang n'lungnah.
3Thine ointments have a goodly fragrance; thy name is as ointment poured forth; therefore do the maidens love thee.
4Namah hnukah kai m'mawt lamtah yong mai sih. Kai he manghai loh amah imhman la n' khuen coeng. Namah ah ka omngaih uh tih ka kohoe uh. Nang kah hlo rhoek tah misurtui lakah ka poek uh tih vanat la nang n'lungnah uh.
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 find thy love more fragrant than wine! sincerely do they love thee.
5Ka muem cakhaw Jerusalem nu rhoek tah Kedar dap banglam khaw, Solomon himbaiyan banglam khaw rhoeprhui mai.
5'I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6Khomik loh kai n'hmuh tih ka muem dongah nim kai nan hmuh pawh? Ka manu ca rhoek te kai taengah sai tih misurdum aka hung la kai n'khueh uh. Kamah taengkah ka misurdum ka hung pawt ah.
6Look not upon me, that I am swarthy, that the sun hath tanned me; my mother's sons were incensed against me, they made me keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.'
7Ka hinglu kah a lungnah te kamah taengah thui lah. Melam na luem sak? Khothun ah melam na kol sak? Te boel tah balae tih na hui rhoek kah tuping taengah aka kulup bangla ka om?
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 veileth herself beside the flocks of thy companions?
8Huta rhoek khuiah sakthen te na ming pawt atah boiva kholaeh ah namah cet. Na maae-ca te aka dawn rhoek kah dungtlungim ah luem sak.
8If 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.
9Ka cangyaeh namah tah Pharaoh leng dongkah ka marhang manu kam puet sak.
9I have compared thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
10Na kam te aitlaeng neh, na rhawn khaw oidik neh damyal mai.
10Thy cheeks are comely with circlets, thy neck with beads.
11Nang hamla sui aitlaeng neh cak hnathawn khaw n'saii bitni.
11We will make thee circlets of gold with studs of silver.
12Kamah kah rhai-ul tah manghai amah loh a caboei dongah a hmuehmuei la a khueh.
12While the king sat at his table, my spikenard sent forth its fragrance.
13Kamah hlo kah murrah cun tah kamah ham ka rhangsuk laklo ah rhaeh coeng.
13My beloved is unto me as a bag of myrrh, that lieth betwixt my breasts.
14Kamah taengkah kamah hlo tah Engedi misurdum kah tlansum thaihsu ni.
14My beloved is unto me as a cluster of henna in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15Ka cangyaeh tah na rhoep ne, vahui na mik khaw na sakthen ne.
15Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are as doves.
16Ka hlo nang tah na sakthen ne, mah kah soengca hingsuep khaw naepnoi bal.
16Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; also our couch is leafy.
17Lamphai tah mah im kah tungpum saeh lamtah hmaical tah mah kah paekhop saeh.
17The beams of our houses are cedars, and our panels are cypresses.
