1 Ngiyintebe yaseSharoni,nomnduze wezigodi.
2 Njengomnduze phakathi kwameva,sinjalo isithandwa sami phakathi kwezintombi.
3 Njengomapula* phakathi kwemithi yasehlathini,unjalo othandiweyo wami phakathi kwamadodana.Ngahlala phansi emthunzini wakhe ngokwenama okukhulu,nesithelo sakhe sasimnandi emlonyeni wami.
4 Ungingenisile endlini yewayini,nebhandela* lakhe phezu kwami liluthando.
5 Ngiphaseni ngezigaxa zezithelo zomvini ezomileyo,ngihlumelele ngama-apula,*ngokuba ngiyafa uthando.
6 Isandla sakhe sokhohlo siphansi kwekhanda lami,nesokunene siyangigona.
7 Ngiyanifungisa,madodakazi aseJerusalema,ngezinsephe nangezindluzelekazi zasendleukuba ningalunyakazisi,ningaluvusi uthando,lungakavumi.
8 Nanto izwi lothandiweyo wami!Bheka, uyeza eqa ezintabeni,etshekula emagqumeni.
9 Othandiweyo wami unjengensephenoma njengesixhumu sendluzele;bheka, umi emva kodonga lwakwethu;uyalunguza emafasiteleni,ubonakala ngaseheleni.
10 Othandiweyo wami wakhuluma, wathi kimi:“Vuka, sithandwa sami,muhlekazi wami; woza sihambe,
11 ngokuba bheka, ubusika budlulile;imvula isiphelile, yamuka;
12 izimbali ziyabonakala emhlabeni,nesikhathi sokuthena imivini sesisondele,nezwi lehobhe liyezwakala ezweni lakithi.
13 Umkhiwane uthela amakhiwane awo aluhlaza,imivini inezimbali,ithaphuka iphunga layo;vuka, sithandwa sami,muhlekazi wami; woza sihambe.”
14 Juba lami elisemifantwini yamadwalanasekusithekeni kweziwa,mangibone ubuso bakho,ngizwe izwi lakho,ngokuba izwi lakho limnandi,nobuso bakho buhle.
15 Sibambeleni izimpungushe,izimpungushe ezincaneezichitha izivini,ngokuba izivini zethu zinezimbali.
16 Othandiweyo wami ungowami,mina ngingowakhe;uyalusa phakathi kweminduze.
17 Kuze kuphole ilanga,namathunzi abaleke,mawube njengensephe,wena othandiweyo wami,nanjengesixhumu sendluzeleezintabeni eziqhekezekileyo.
