Song 7 | NdeIBE | STEP | Zinhle kakhulu izinyawo zakho emanyathelweni, Hawu ndodakazi yenkosana! Amathebe akho amahle anjengamatshe aligugu, ingathi abunjwa kuhle yingcitshi.

Song of Solomon 7

1 Zinhle kakhulu izinyawo zakho emanyathelweni, Hawu ndodakazi yenkosana! Amathebe akho amahle anjengamatshe aligugu, ingathi abunjwa kuhle yingcitshi.

2 Inkaba yakho yindingilizana yesiphathelo esihle esihlala sigcwele iwayini elixutshiweyo. Ukhalo lwakho luyinqunjana yengqoloyi ezingelezwe yizimbali.

3 Amabele akho anjengamazinyane amabili, amaphahla empala.

4 Intamo yakho injengomphotshongo wezimpondo zendlovu. Amehlo akho ayiziziba zeHeshibhoni eduze lesango laseBathi Rabhini. Impumulo yakho injengomphotshongo waseLebhanoni ukhangele iDamaseko.

5 Ikhanda lakho lingumqhele kuwe njengentaba iKhameli. Izinwele zakho zingumceciso wobukhosi; inkosi ithunjiwe ngamagoda azo.

6 Wamuhle bantu njalo uyathokozisa, hawu, sithandwa, ngezintokozo zakho!

7 Uluthi lwakho luthe klwi, njengesihlahla sephamu, lamabele akho anjengelixha lezithelo.

8 Ngathi, “Ngizakhwela esihlahleni sephamu; ngizaziphatha lezozithelo zalo.” Sengathi amabele akho angaba njengamaxha evini,

9 amakha okuphefumula kwakho abe njengama-aphula, lomlomo wakho ube njengewayini elidlula wonke.

Umlobokazi

Sengathi iwayini lelo lingaya kusithandwa sami, ligeleze kakuhle ezindebeni lasemazinyweni.

10 Ngingowaso isithandwa sami, silangathela mina.

11 Woza, sithandwa sami, kasihambe siye emaphandleni, kasiyolala emizini.

12 Kasihambe ekuseni ezivinini ukuyabona ingabe amavini asenunkula, ingabe amaluba awo aseqhakazile – lapho ngizakupha uthando lwami.

13 Izihlahla zemandrake zikhupha iphunga elimnandi, kuthi emnyango wakwethu kube lezibiliboco zonke ezintsha lezindala, engikubekele zona, sithandwa sami.
