1 Ingoma yazo iingoma, eyekaSolomon.
2 Makandange ngokwanga komlomo wakhe;Ngokuba izincokoliso zakho zimnandi ngaphezu kwewayini.
3 Amafutha akho anevumba elimnandi;Liyioli ethululwayo igama lakho;Ngenxa yoko iintombi ziyakuthanda.
4 Nditsale, sogidima emva kwakho;Ukuba ukumkani undingenise ezingontsini zakhe,Sogcoba, sivuye ngawe.Sozikhankanya izincokoliso zakho ngaphezu kwewayini;Zikuthanda zinyanisile.
5 Ndimnyama, ndinomkhitha noko,Zintombi zaseYerusalem,Njengeentente zakwaKedare,Njengamalengalenga kaSolomon.
6 Musani ukundikhangela ngakuba ndife mnyama,Ngakuba nditshe lilanga.Oonyana bakama bandivuthela ngomsindo,Bandenza umlindi wezidiliya;Ke esisesam isidiliya andisilindanga.
7 Khawundixilele, wena uthandwa ngumphefumlo wam,Walúsela phi na? Ùyibuthisa phi na imihlambi emini enkulu?Ngokuba kungani na ukuba ndibe njengogqubutheleyoNgasemihlambini yamakholwane akho?
8 Ukuba àkwazi, nzwakazindini phakathi kweentokazi,Phuma, uhambe ngemikhondo yomhlambi,Uwaluse amatakane akho ngaseminqubeni yabalusi.
9 Ndikufanekisé, wethu,Nehashe kwaweenqwelo zikaFaro!
10 Zinomkhitha izidlele zakho ziingcaca,Umqala wakho zizidanga.
11 Sòkwenzela iingcaca zegolideEzinamaqhula esilivere.
12 Xa ukumkani asesetafileni yakhe,Inadusi* yam isuka ilikhuphe ivumba layo.
13 Sisiqhuma semore* intánda yam kum,Esihleli phakathi kwamabele am.
14 Sisihloko sekofere* intánda yam kumEzidiliyeni zase-Engedi.
15 Yabona, ùyinzwakazi, wethu! Yabona, ùyinzwakazi!Amehlo akho anjengawamavukuthu.
16 Yabona, ùyinzwakazi, ntánda yam; ewe, umnandi;Umandlalo wethu uluhlaza.
17 Imiqadi yendlu yethu yimisedare,*Iipanele* zethu yimisipres.*
