Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
1ʻI he ʻeku ʻi hoku mohenga ʻi he pō, naʻaku kumi kiate ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie: ne u kumi, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi ia,
2I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2Pea ko eni, te u tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu fano ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe kolo mo e ngaahi hala motuʻa, pea te u kumi ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie: ne u kumi kiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ia.
3The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said , Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
3Naʻe ʻiloʻi au ʻe he kau leʻo ʻoku feʻaluʻaki ʻi he kolo; pea naʻaku fehuʻi ki ai ʻo pehē , “Kuo mou mamata kiate ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie?”
4It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
4Pea kuo tuku siʻi atu ʻakinautolu, pea u ʻilo ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie: pea naʻaku puke ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u toe tukuange ia, kaeʻoua ke u ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo ʻeku faʻē, mo e potu fale ʻoʻona naʻa ne fanauʻi ai au.
5I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
5ʻE ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻi hoʻomou ʻofa ki he fanga kāseli mo e hainite ʻoe vao, ke ʻoua naʻa mou ueʻi pe fafangu ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga, kaeʻoua ke faʻiteliha pe ia.
6¶ Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
6Ko hai eni ʻoku haʻu mei he toafa, ʻoku hangē ko e pou ko e kohu ʻoe afi, pea kuo fakanamu lelei ʻaki ʻae mula mo e laipeno, mo e ngaahi kakala kotoa pē mei he kau fakatau?
7Behold his bed, which is Solomon’s; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
7Vakai ki he mohenga ʻo Solomone, ʻoku kāpui ia ʻe he kau tangata toʻa ʻe toko onongofulu, mei he kau tangata toʻa ʻo ʻIsileli.
8They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

11Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
11ʻE ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Saione, mou ʻalu atu, ʻo vakai kia Solomone, ko e tuʻi, mo e tatā fakatuʻi naʻe tatā ʻaki ia ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻene fakamaʻu mali, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fiefia ʻa hono loto.
