Ngidonse Ngikulandele
Ingoma yothando phakathi komakoti nesithandwa sakhe, ehlatshelelwa ngaphandle kwamahloni. Uma ifundwa njengombhalo njengoba kudala kwenziwa, ivula iwindi elibheka othandweni uBaba wethu analo ngabakhe — uthando olunamandla njengokufa.
1 1Ingoma yezingoma, engekaSolomoni. a a v1 INgoma kaSolomoni iwukunconywa ngenkondlo kothando lomshado phakathi komakoti nomyeni. Isiko lamaKhristu selokhu lezwa kuyo nothando lukaBaba wethu ngabantu bakhe ngoJesu — uMyeni ozinikela ngenxa yoMlobokazi wakhe. 2Makangange ngezangano zomlomo wakhe—ngokuba uthando lwakho lungcono kunewayini. 3Amafutha akho okugcoba anuka kamnandi; igama lakho liyiphunga lamakha athululiweyo—akumangazi ukuthi izintombi ziyakuthanda. 4Ngidonse ngikulandele; asigijime. Inkosi ingingenise emakamelweni ayo. Siyakujabula sithokoze ngawe; siyakulidumisa uthando lwakho ngaphezu kwewayini— baqinisile ukukuthanda.
5Ngimnyama, kodwa ngimuhle, madodakazi aseJerusalema, njengamatende aseKedari, njengamakhetheni kaSolomoni. b b v5 AbaseKedari kwakuyisizwe sasogwadule esasinamatende ayelukwe ngoboya obumnyama bezimbuzi — umakoti uqhathanisa isikhumba sakhe esimnyama, esishiswe yilanga, namatende awo amnyama amahle. 6Ningangigqolozeli ngoba ngimnyama, ngoba ilanga lingijamele. Amadodana kamama ayengithukuthelele; angenza umgcini wezivini, kodwa isivini sami siqu angisigcinanga. 7Ngitshele, wena othandwa umphefumulo wami, ukuthi uwelusela kuphi umhlambi wakho, uwuphumuzela kuphi emini—kungani ngifanele ukuba njengowesifazane omboziweyo eceleni kwemihlambi yabangane bakho? c c v7 Owesifazane ozulazula embozile, eyedwa, eceleni kwemihlambi yomuntu angamaziyo wayengathathwa njengowangaphandle ongaphelezelwe muntu — into umakoti angafuni neze ukubonakala eyiyo.
8Uma ungazi, wena omuhle kunabo bonke abesifazane, landela izinyathelo zomhlambi, welusele amazinyane akho ezimbuzi eceleni kwamatende abelusi. 9Ngikufanisa, sithandwa sami, nebhiza lensikazi phakathi kwezinqola zikaFaro. 10Izihlathi zakho zinhle ngemihlobiso, intamo yakho ngezintambo zamatshe ayigugu.
11Sizakukwenzela imihlobiso yegolide, efakelwe amaphuzu esiliva. 12Ngesikhathi inkosi isetafuleni layo, amakha ami asabalalisa iphunga lawo. d d v12 INaride kwakungamafutha ayigugu, anukelela kamnandi, ayengeniswe evela kude — wona kanye amakha abizayo ayezothululwa kuJesu kamuva ngaphambi kokumbekwa kwakhe ethuneni. 13Isithandwa sami kimi siyisikhwanyana semure esiphumula phakathi kwamabele ami. 14Isithandwa sami kimi siyixha lezimbali zehena ezivinini zase-Engedi. e e v14 I-Engedi kwakuyisiziba samanzi ahlanzekile eceleni koLwandle Olufile, saziwa kakhulu ngezingadi zaso eziluhlaza ezinukelelayo phakathi nogwadule oluyihlane.
15Yeka ubuhle bakho, sithandwa sami—yeka ubuhle! Amehlo akho angamajuba. 16Yeka ubuhle bakho, sithandwa sami—ngempela uyajabulisa! Umbhede wethu uluhlaza.
17Imishayo yendlu yethu ingeyomsedari; izintungo zethu ziyisipreso.
