Iye anoti apinda mumunda wake. Ipapo mukadzi anorondedzera usiku hwaakazeza pamusuwo ndokuvhura nguva yapfuura, akawana aenda. Achitsvaka, varindi vanomurova. Achibvunzwa kuti chii chinomusiyanisa, anomurondedzera kubva kumusoro kusvika kutsoka.

Chitsauko 5.

Ndapinda mubindu rangu, hanzvadzi yangu, mwenga wangu; ndaunganidza mura wangu nezvinonhuhwirira zvangu, ndadya zinga rangu rouchi nouchi hwangu, ndanwa waini yangu nomukaka wangu. Idyai, shamwari; inwai, uye inwai zvakadzika, vadiwa!

Ndakarara, asi mwoyo wangu wakanga wakasvinura. Inzwi—mudiwa wangu ari kugogodza: “Ndizarurire, hanzvadzi yangu, rudo rwangu, njiva yangu, akakwana wangu, nokuti musoro wangu wanyorova nedova, bvudzi rangu nemadonhwe ousiku.” Ndakanga ndabvisa nguo yangu—ndingaipfeka sei zvakare? Ndakanga ndageza tsoka dzangu—ndingadzisvibisa sei? Mudiwa wangu akaisa ruoko rwake pachikiya, uye mwoyo wangu wakabvunda mukati mangu. Ndakamuka kuti ndizarurire mudiwa wangu mukova, uye maoko angu akadonhesa mura, minwe yangu mura unoyerera, pazvibato zvechipfigiso. Ndakazarurira mudiwa wangu mukova, asi mudiwa wangu akanga atendeuka aenda. Mweya wangu wakaora paakataura. Ndakamutsvaka, asi handina kumuwana; ndakamudana, asi haana kupindura. Varindi vakandiwana vachifamba muguta; vakandirova, vakandikuvadza; vakanditorera jasi rangu kubva kwandiri, varindi avo vemasvingo. Ndinokurayirai, vanasikana veJerusarema, kana mukawana mudiwa wangu, muudzei kuti ndinorwara norudo. Mudiwa wako anopfuurei mumwe mudiwa, iwe akanaka kupfuura vose pakati pavakadzi? Mudiwa wako anopfuurei mumwe mudiwa, zvokuti unotirayira saizvozvo?

Mudiwa wangu anopenya uye akatsvuka, anozivikanwa pakati pavane zviuru gumi. Musoro wake ndarama yakaisvonaka; bvudzi rake rakapeta, dema segunguwo. Meso ake akaita senjiva pedyo nehova dzemvura, akashambidzwa mumukaka, akaiswa semabwe anokosha panzvimbo pawo. Matama ake akaita semibhedha yezvinonhuhwirira, shongwe dzemiti inonhuhwirira. Miromo yake maruva, anodonhesa mura unoyerera. Maoko ake itsvimbo dzendarama, akaiswa mabwe anokosha. Muviri wake inyanga yenzou yakavenekwa, yakashongedzwa namasafire. Makumbo ake imbiru dzealabhasta, dzakamiswa pamusoro wezvigadziko zvendarama yakaisvonaka. Chimiro chake chakaita seRebhanoni, chakasarudzika semisidhari. Muromo wake unotapira zvachose, uye anodiwa zvakazara. Uyu ndiye mudiwa wangu, uye uyu ndiye shamwari yangu, vanasikana veJerusarema.
