Song of Solomon 4

Umyeni

1Kayisibuhle bakho, sithandwa sami!
Awu, ayisibuhle, bakithi!
Amehlo akho embeswe liveli, angamajuba.
Inwele zakho zinjengomhlambi wembuzi
zisehla entabeni iGiliyadi.
2Amazinyo akho anjengomhlambi wezimvu zisanda kugundwa,
zivela geziswa yileyo ihamba laleyo efanana layo;
kayikho ethe qekele yodwa.
3Izindebe zakho zinjengozwezwe olubomvu;
muhle umlomo wakho.
Izihlathi zakho ezembeswe liveli lakho
ezinjengephomegranathi elidatshulwe phakathi.
4Intamo yakho injengomphotshongo wokulinda kaDavida,
owakhiwa waba muhle kakhulu;
kulengiswe kuwo amahawu ayinkulungwane,
wonke angamahawu amaqhawe.
5Amabele akho omabili anjengamazinyane amabili,
njengamaphahla amazinyane empala
adla utshani phakathi kwezimbali.
6Nxa kusesemadabukakusa
izithunzi zingakabaleki emuntwini,
ngizakuya entabeni yemure
laseqaqeni lwamakha amnandi.
7Umuhle kakhulukazi, ntokazi yami;
kakulanto engenhle kuwe.

8Woza, mlobokazi wami, sisuke eLebhanoni,
woza sisuke eLebhanoni.
Yehla emaweni ase-Amana,
wehle esiqongweni saseSeniri, isiqongo seHemoni,
ezimbalwini zezingonyama
lezintabeni okuhlala ingwe kuzo.
9Uyithumbile inhliziyo yami, dadewethu, mlobokazi wami;
uyithumbile inhliziyo yami
ngokungithi jeqe ngamehlo akho,
langengqongqo elilodwa lobuhlalu bakho.
10Luthokozisa kanganani uthando lwakho,
dadewethu, mlobokazi wami!
Lumnandi kakhulu kulewayini,
lephunga lamakha akho
kulawo wonke amafutha!
11Izindebe zakho ziconsa ubumnandi njengoluju, mlobokazi wami;
uchago loluju kungaphansi kolimi lwakho.
Iphunga lezivunulo zakho
linjengeleLebhanoni.
12Uyisivande esibiyelweyo, dadewethu, mlobokazi wami;
ungumthombo obiyelweyo,
lesiphethu esihuqelweyo sagcikwa.
13Izilimo zakho ziyisivande samaphomegranathi
alezithelo ezinhle zilehena lenadi,
14inadi lesafuroni,
ikhalamu lesinamoni,
lemihlobo yonke yezihlahla zempepha,
imure lenhlaba lazozonke iziyoliso zekhethelo.
15Uyisiphethu sesivandeni,
umthombo ogeleza amanzi
ugeleza usehla eLebhanoni.
Umlobokazi

16Vuka moya wenyakatho,
woza moya weningizimu!
Phephetha esivandeni sami,
ukuze amakha aso agcwale indawo yonke.
Akuthi isithandwa sami size esivandeni saso
sikholise izithelo zaso zekhethelo.
