¹Whither is thy beloved gone, Thou fairest among women? Whither is thy beloved turned aside? And we will 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 [his flock] among the lilies.

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

⁴Thou art fair, my love, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem, Terrible as troops 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 overcome me. Thy hair is as a flock of goats On the slopes of 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 like a flock of sheep Which go up from the washing; Which have all borne twins, And none is 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 Behind thy veil.

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, mine undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother, She is the choice one of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and they called her blessed; 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 dawn, Fair as the moon, clear as the sun, Terrible as troops 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 verdure of the valley, To see whether the vine budded, Whether the pomegranates blossomed.

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

¹²Before I was aware, My soul set me upon the chariots of my willing people.

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 would ye look upon in the Shulamite? -- As it were the dance of two camps.

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?
