1I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, beloved ones!
1Ka huan sungah ka hongpai hi, ka sanggamnu, ka mou: ka murra ka gimnamtui toh ka lakhawmta: ka khuaikhak ka khuaiju tohka netaa; ka uain ka nawitui toh ka dawnta. Aw lawmte, ne un; dawn un, ahi, tampi dawn un, Aw ka ngaihnou.
2I slept, but my heart was awake. The voice of my beloved! he knocketh: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, mine undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.
2Ka ihmua, himahleh ka lungtang a hak: a kiu ka ngaihnou aw ahi, honhon in, ka sanggamnu, ka it, ka vahui, ka ninbanglou: ka lutang lah daituiin a dima, ka samtum lah jana tuitakin.
3-- I have put off my tunic, how should I put it on? I have washed my feet, how should I pollute them? --
3Ka puannak tung ka suahtaa: bang chiin ka silh nawn dia? ka khepekte ka siltaa; bangchiin ka hihnin dia?
4My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door]; And my bowels yearned for him.
4Ka ngaihnouin kongkhak awngah a khut ahon golh luta, amah jiakin ka lungtang hihlinin a om hi.
5I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands dropped with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the lock.
5Ka ngaihnou hon dingin ka thou taa; ka khutte murrain a taka, ka khutzungte murra tuiin, kalhna hekna tungah.
6I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself; he was gone: My soul went forth when he spoke. I sought him, but I found him not; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
6Ka ngaihnou ka hontaa; himahleh ka ngaihnou a nakik nawna a na omta kei hi. Thu a gen laiin ka khain a honjuausana: amah ka zonga, himahleh hondawng kei hi.
7The watchmen that went about the city found me; They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
7Khopia vialvak vengmiten a honmu ua, a honkhen ua, a honliam sak uh; kulhbang ngakten ka puannak a honlak mang sak uh.
8I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved, ... What will ye tell him? -- That I am sick of love.
8Ka honngen ahi, Aw Jerusalem tanute, ka ngaihnou na muh uleh, jawlngaiin ka chi a na chih, amah hilh un.
9What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, Thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, That thou dost so charge us?
9Na ngaihnou, ngaihnou dangsanga a tuansemna bang ahia Aw nang numeite lak a kilawmpen? na ngaihnou ngaihnou dang sanga a tuansemna bang ahia, huchibang na honnget?
10My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand.
10Ka ngaihnou jaw a a san hiuhiaua, sang sawm laka pipen ahi.
11His head is [as] the finest gold; His locks are flowing, black as the raven;
11A lutang dangkaeng hoih penpen bang ahi a, a samtumte a liana, vaak bangin a vom hi.
12His eyes are like doves by the water-brooks, Washed with milk, fitly set;
12A mitta lah luita tui kianga vahui bang ahi a; nawituia sil, kituak taka bulh.
13His cheeks are as a bed of spices, raised beds of sweet plants; His lips lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
13A biangte gimnamtui omna bang ahi a, loupa gimlim bil bang: a mukte lah lili pak bang ahia, murra tui takkhe sakin.
14His hands gold rings, set with the chrysolite; His belly is bright ivory, overlaid [with] sapphires;
14A khutte dangkaeng zungbuh beril suangmantam siatna bang ahi: a pumpi saihaa bawl saphir suangmantama luan bang ahi.
15His legs, pillars of marble, set upon bases of fine gold: His bearing as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars;
15A khete suangpak khuam, dangkaeng hoihte kuaka kitung bang ahi: a kilatdan Lebanon bang, sidar banga thupi ahi.A kam a khum penpen a: ahi, a ngaihhuai tuntun hi. Hiai ka ngaihnou ahi a, hiai ka lawm ahi. Aw Jerusalem tanute.
16His mouth is most sweet: Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, yea, this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
16A kam a khum penpen a: ahi, a ngaihhuai tuntun hi. Hiai ka ngaihnou ahi a, hiai ka lawm ahi. Aw Jerusalem tanute.
