Ndingowesithandwa sam
Iintombi zaseYerusalem zithi ziya kumnceda ekukhangeleni, aze aphendule esithi uyayazi apho aye khona. Indoda iyamdumisa: iikumkanikazi ezimashumi mathandathu nabafazi abangenakubalwa, kanti yena usengoyena yedwa. Aze ababukeli bambize umShulami ukuba abuye, bamgqale.
6 1Uye ngaphi na isithandwa sakho, wena umhle kunabo bonke abafazi? Uye ngaphi na isithandwa sakho, ukuze sisikhangele kunye nawe?
2Isithandwa sam sehlile emyezweni waso, ezinkukweni zobulawu, ukuze sidle emiyezweni, sikhe neenyibiba.
3Mna ndingowesithandwa sam, naso isithandwa sam sesam; sidle phakathi kweenyibiba.
4Umhle, sithandwa sam, njengeTirtsa, uthandeka njengeYerusalem, uyoyikeka njengempi eneebhanile. a a v4 ITirtsa yayingumzi wasebukhosini wamandulo owawudume ngobuhle bawo, apha udityaniswe neYerusalem njengemizi emihle kunayo yonke.
5Susa amehlo akho kum, kuba andoyisa. Iinwele zakho zinjengomhlambi weebhokhwe ezehlayo eGiliyadi. 6Amazinyo akho anjengomhlambi weegusha ezinyukayo esihlanjelweni, zonke zizala amawele, kungekho nanye phakathi kwazo elahlekelwe litakane layo. 7Imihlathi yakho injengamacandelo erharnate, emva kwesigqubuthelo sakho.
8Kukho iikumkanikazi ezimashumi mathandathu, namashweshwe amashumi asibhozo, nentombi ezingenakubalwa, 9kodwa ihobe lam, ogqibeleleyo wam, nguye yedwa, intombi yodwa kanina, eyona ithandwayo ngulowo wamzala. Iintombi zambona, zathi unoyolo;
10Ngubani na lo obonakala njengokusa, emhle njengenyanga, eqaqamba njengelanga, eyoyikekayo njengempi eneebhanile?
11Ndehla emyezweni weenkozo zemithi ukuba ndikhangele iintyantyambo zentili, ndibone ukuba umdiliya uphumile na amathupha, iirharnate zidubule na iintyantyambo zazo.
12Ndithe ndingekaqondi, umnqweno wam wandibeka phakathi kweenqwelo zokulwa zabantu bam abazukileyo.
13Buya, buya, Shulami; buya, buya, ukuze sikugqale. Nimgqalela ni na umShulami, njengasekungqungqeni kweminquba emibini? b b v13 'Ukungqungqa kweminquba emibini' kufanekisa umngqungqo omhle owenziwa phakathi kwemigca emibini ejongeneyo yababukeli.
