Hiva ʻa Solomone 3
1On my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but 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 squares; I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but 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 teu kumi ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai hoku laumālie: ne u kumi kiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ia.
3The watchmen found me as they went about in the city. “Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
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? ”
4Scarcely had I passed them when I found him whom my soul loves. 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 who 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 adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the does of the field, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.
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.
6What is that coming up from the wilderness like columns of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the fragrant powders of a 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, it is the litter of Solomon! Around it are sixty mighty men, some of the mighty men 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.
8all of them wearing swords and expert in war, each with his sword at his thigh, against terror by night.
8ʻOku nau taki taha toʻo ʻae heletā, he ʻoku nau maheni ai mo e tau: ʻoku taki taha ai ʻene heletā ki hono tuʻa tenga, naʻa ai ha manavahē ʻi he poʻuli.
9King Solomon made himself a carriage from the wood of Lebanon.
9Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ko Solomone ha mohenga moʻona, mei he ngaahi ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni.
10He made its posts of silver, its back of gold, its seat of purple; its interior was inlaid with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.
10Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻaki ʻae siliva ʻa hono pou, pea ko hono faliki ko e koula, ko hono ʻufiʻufi ko e kulokula, pea faliki ʻaki ʻi loto ʻae ʻofa ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema.
11Go out, O daughters of Zion, and look upon King Solomon, with the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, on 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 ʻunoho, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fiefia ʻa hono loto.
