¹Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

¹Na ngaihnou koilama pai ahia, Aw nang numeite laka kilawm penpen? amah na ngaihnou koilama kiheita ahia, amah ka honzon pih theihna ding un?

²My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

²Ka ngaihnou a huan ah a hoh suka, gimnamtui mun ah, huan sunga vak ding leh, lili pak lakawm ding in.

³I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

³Ka ngaihnoua ka hi a, ka ngaihnou keia ahi: lili pak lakah a ganhon a vak hi.

⁴Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

⁴Na kilawm hi, Aw ka it, Tirza bangin, Jerusalem bangin na deihhuaia, sepaihpawl puanlapte to bangin na kitakhuai hi.

⁵Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

⁵Na mitte keia kipan la kikin, amau lah a honzouta ngal ua. Na sam kel hon bang ahi a, Gilead pang khawnga kualte.

⁶Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.

⁶Na hate belamnu hon bang ahi ua, sil khit pheta hongpaitou te; huaiah amaute chiatin phik a nei ua, a lak uah kuamah misisun a om kei uh.

⁷As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

⁷Na mitlaivomte pomgranet them bang ahi na maituamna liah ah.

⁸There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.

⁸Kumpinu sawmguk a om ua, mei sawm giat, huan nungaksiangthou sim seng louh.

⁹My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

⁹Ka vahui, ka ninbanglou, khat kia ahi; a nu laka amah kia ahi; amah suang laka a hoihpenpen ahi. Tanuten amah a mu ua, nuamsa amah a chi uh; ahi, kumpinuten leh meiten amau amah a phat uh.

¹⁰Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?

¹⁰Jingsang banga dak khia amah kua ahia, khapi banga kilawm, ni banga siang, sepaihhon puanlap tobanga lauhuai?

¹¹I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.

¹¹Makhatang huanah ka pai suaka, guama singsuan hingte en dingin, grep a pakmumta hiam chih leh pomgranet a pakpalhta hiam chih en dingin.

¹²Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.

¹²Ahihkeileh ka thei ngeita hia, ka khain ka lunglutna ka mipite kangtalai lakah a hon koihta hi.Hongkik in, hongkik in, Aw Salam mi; hongkik in, hongkik in, ka honna et theihna ding un. Bangdia Salam mi en ding na hi ua, Mahanaim mite lam banga?

¹³Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.

¹³Hongkik in, hongkik in, Aw Salam mi; hongkik in, hongkik in, ka honna et theihna ding un. Bangdia Salam mi en ding na hi ua, Mahanaim mite lam banga?
