Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Oh that you were like my brother, who nursed from the breasts of my mother! If I found you outside, I would kiss you; yes, and no one would despise me.
1I NA paha oe i like me ko'u kaikunane, Ka mea i omo i ka waiu o ko'u makuwahine! A i loaa oe ia'u mawaho, e honi no au ia oe, Aole hoi au e hoowahawahaia.
2I would lead you, bringing you into the house of my mother, who would instruct me. I would have you drink spiced wine, of the juice of my pomegranate.
2A e alakai no hoi au ia oe, a e hookomo ia oe Iloko o ka hale o ko'u makuwahine, ka mea nana au i ao mai. E hoohainu au ia oe i ka waina ala, No ka waina hou o ko'u pomeraite.
3His left hand would be under my head. His right hand would embrace me.
3Aia malalo iho o ko'u poo kona lima hema, A o kona lima akau, ua apo mai ia'u.
4I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
4Ke kauoha aku nei au ia oukou, e na kaikamahine o Ierusalema, E hooluliluli ole aku oukou, a e hoala ole aku i ka'u mea i aloha'i, A ala wale mai ia.
5Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother conceived you. There she was in labor and bore you.
5Owai keia e pii mai nei mai ka waoakua mai, E hilinai ana maluna o kana mea i aloha'i? Ua hoala aku au ia oe, malalo iho o ka laau ohia; Malaila, ua hanau mai kou makuwahine ia oe, Malaila, ua hanau mai ia oe ka mea nana oe i hanau mai.
6Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD.
6E kau mai ia'u i hoailona maluna o kou naau, I hoailona hoi maluna o kou lima; No ka mea, o ke aloha, ua ikaika ia e like me ka make; O ka lili, ua paa loa ia e like me ka luakupapau; O kona lapalapa ana, o ka lapalapa ana no ia o ke ahi wela loa.
7Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.
7Aole pio ke aloha i na wai he nui loa, Aole ia e mokuhia e na wai kahe; Ina e haawi aku ke kanaka i ka waiwai a pau o kona hale i lilo mai ke aloha, E hoowahawaha loa ia ia mau mea.
8We have a little sister. She has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is to be spoken for?
8Ke kaiku wahine uuku o makou, aole ona waiu, Heaha ka mea a makou e hana'i no ko makou kaikuwahine, I ka la i hoopalauia'i oia?
9If she is a wall, we will build on her a turret of silver. If she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
9Ina he pa oia, e kukulu makou maluna ona he halepakui kala; Ina he puka oia, e uhi makou ia ia i na laau kedera.
10I am a wall, and my breasts like towers, then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.
10He pa no wau, A o ko'u mau waiu e like ia me ka halekiai: Alaila, ua like au i kona mau maka, me he mea la i alohaia mai.
11Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon. He leased out the vineyard to keepers. Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
11He malawaina na Solomona ma Baalahamona; Ua hoolimalima aku oia i kana malawaina i ka poe nana i malama; Ua lawe mai kela kanaka, keia kanaka i hookahi tausani apana kala i uku no ka hua waina.
12My own vineyard is before me. The thousand are for you, Solomon, two hundred for those who tend its fruit.
12O ka'u malawaina, ia'u no ia, eia no imua o'u, He tausani kau, e Solomona, A elua haneri na ka poe malama i ka hua.
13You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice!
13E ka mea e noho ana ma na kihapai, Ua lohe ka poe hoanoho i kou leo; E ae mai oe i lohe au.
14Come away, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices!
14E wikiwiki oe, e ka'u mea i aloha'i, E hoohalike ia oe iho me ka anetelope, a me ka dia keiki, Maluna o na mauna ala.
