Vuka, Thandwa Lam, Uze
Umfazi uyathetha, ekhumbula umthunzi wakhe, indlu yesidlo, ingalo yakhe phantsi kwentloko yakhe. Aze aphinde isimemo sakhe ngekhreyithi: ubusika bugqithile, imikhiwane iyavuthwa, yiza. Kabini ulumkisa iintombi zaseYerusalem ukuba zingaluvuseleli uthando lude luthande lona.
2 1Ndiyirozi yaseSharon, inyibiba yasezihlanjeni. 2Njengenyibiba phakathi kwamaqunube, lunjalo uthando lwam phakathi kweentombi. 3Njengomthi weapile phakathi kwemithi yehlathi, injalo intanda yam phakathi kwamadodana. Ndahlala emthunzini wakhe ndinemihlali emikhulu, saza isiqhamo sakhe saba mnandi ekukhuhlangubeni lam. 4Wandingenisa endlwini yesidlo, ibe ibhanile yakhe phezu kwam yiluthando. 5Ndixhaseni ngeerasintyisi, nindiqabule ngeapile, kuba ndisifa luthando. 6Isandla sakhe sokhohlo singaphantsi kwentloko yam, sibe isandla sakhe sokunene siyandiwola. 7Ndiyanifungisa, zintombi zaseYerusalem, ngamaxhama okanye ngamabhadi asendle: ningaluvuseleli, ningaluxhokonxi uthando lude luthande lona.
8Ilizwi lentanda yam! Nantsiya isiza, ixhuma phezu kweentaba, itsiba phezu kweenduli. 9Intanda yam injengexhama okanye njengethole lexhama. Khangela, nantsiya imi ngasemva kodonga lwethu, ilunguza ngeefestile, ikroba ngekhreyithi. 10Intanda yam ithi kum: Vuka, thandwa lam, mhle wam, uze. 11kuba ubusika bugqithile; imvula iphelile yemka. 12Iintyantyambo zivela emhlabeni, lifikile ixesha lokuvuma iingoma, lize ilizwi levukuthu live ezweni lethu. 13Umkhiwane uvuthisa amakhiwane awo, zize izidiliya zithi bhenqe iintyantyambo; zikhupha ivumba lazo elimnandi. Vuka, thandwa lam, mhle wam, uze. 14Hobe lam, elisemiqolombeni yeliwa, ezindaweni zokuzimela zengxondorha, ndivumele ndibubone ubuso bakho, ndivumele ndilive ilizwi lakho, kuba ilizwi lakho limnandi, nobuso bakho buhle. 15Sibambeleni iimpungutye, iimpungutyana ezonakalisa izidiliya, kuba izidiliya zethu zithe bhenqe iintyantyambo. 16Intanda yam yeyam, ndibe mna ndingowakhe; udla phakathi kweenyibiba. 17Ude usuke uphefumle umhla, asuke abaleke amathunzi, buya, ntanda yam, ufane nexhama okanye nethole lexhama phezu kweentaba ezimaqhakuva.
