Nyimbo ya Nyimbo, imene ndi ya Solomo. ^a Iye andipsompsone ndi mapsompsono a pakamwa pake, pakuti chikondi chanu ndi choposa vinyo. Mafuta anu odzozera ndi onunkhira bwino; dzina lanu lili ngati mafuta onunkhira otsanulidwa— n'chifukwa chake anamwali amakukondani. Ndikokereni pambuyo panu; tiye tithamange. Mfumu yandilowetsa m'zipinda zake. Tidzakondwa ndi kusangalala mwa inu; tidzatamanda chikondi chanu kuposa vinyo— amakukondani moyenera.

Ndine wakuda, komatu wokongola, inu ana aakazi a Yerusalemu, ngati matenti a Kedara, ngati makatani a Solomo. ^b Musandiyang'anitsitse chifukwa ndine wakuda, chifukwa dzuwa landipenya. Ana a amayi anga anandikwiyira; anandisandutsa woyang'anira minda ya mpesa, koma munda wanga weniweni wa mpesa sindinawusunge. Ndiuzeni, inu amene moyo wanga umakukondani, kumene mumaweta nkhosa zanu, kumene mumazipumitsa masana—nanga ndingakhale bwanji ngati mkazi wophimba nkhope pafupi ndi nkhosa za anzanu? ^c

Ngati simukudziwa, inu wokongola koposa pakati pa akazi, tsatirani mapazi a nkhosa, ndipo wetani timbuzi tanu pafupi ndi matenti a abusa. Ndikuyerekezani, wokondedwa wanga, ndi kavalo wamkazi pakati pa magaleta a Farao. Masaya anu ndi okongola ndi zokometsera, khosi lanu ndi mikanda ya miyala yamtengo wapatali.

Tidzakupangirani zokometsera za golide, zokhomeredwa ndi siliva. Pamene mfumu inali pa tebulo lake, mafuta anga onunkhira anatulutsa fungo lake. ^d Wokondedwa wanga ali kwa ine ngati kathumba ka mure kamene kamagona pakati pa mawere anga. Wokondedwa wanga ali kwa ine ngati phande la maluwa a hena m'minda ya mpesa ya Engedi. ^e

Ndinu okongola bwanji, wokondedwa wanga—okongola bwanji! Maso anu ali ngati nkhunda. Ndinu okongola bwanji, wokondedwa wanga— wosangalatsadi! Bedi lathu ndi lobiriwira.

Matabwa a nyumba yathu ndi a mkungudza; mitanda ya denga lathu ndi ya sipuresi.
