Lwimbo Lwakwe Solomoni
3 “Lino nali pali bedi wane usiku,
Nalonzile umutemwikwa wane.
Namulonzile, lelo ntamuzanyile.
2 Lyene nelenginye inti nkakatuke nu kuya mu musumba;
Nu mu misolo ya mu misumba,
Nkalonde umutemwikwa wane.
Namulonzile, lelo ntamuzanyile.
3 Aalinzi aalindanga umu musumba yanzanyile.
Nani nayuzizye inti: ‘Uzye mutaweniko wino natemwa?’
4 Lino napuzizye sile aalinzi
Nazanyile wino natemwa.
Namulemeliile, ntalondanga ukuti apite
Suka imutwala umu ng’anda yakwe mayo,
Mu muputule uno mayo uwamviile akalaalamo.
5 Mwe yakazyana ya mu Yelusalemu, nkumulenga ukulapila
Muli ya mpombo ya kaci amu mpanga:
Muteezya ukuzyula nanti ukukatusha icitemwiko muli nene kufikila cice ciizile.”
6 “I cani cii icikwiza kufuma umulwanga icikuloleka wa cunsi,
Icikununkila wakwe mule na wa ubani,
Icikweti ni vinunkile vyonsi ivishute ivya muculuzi?”
7 “Lolini! I cilimba cakwe Solomoni.
Aonsi aamaka 60 iyacizinguluka,
Aonsi aamaka amu Izlaeli,
8 Yonsi kwene yali nu lupanga,
Yonsi yasambiliziwa vya kulwa inkondo,
Cila muntu ali nu lupanga lwakwe umu mbazo
Iyaipekanya uku kuzanza ukungacitika usiku.”
9 “I cilimba ca wene* ica Mwene Solomoni
Cino waipangiile ukuomvya imiti ya ku Lebanoni.
10 Waomvizye siuva pa kupanga ivipilala vya cilimba,
Ivyacitungilile navyo vyali i vyakwe goldi.
Apa kwikala napo pali insalu yakwe peepo;
Akazyana ya mu Yelusalemu
Yayemvizye ningo icilimba cico umukasi.”
11 “Mwe yakazyana ya mu Zioni,
Fumini mulole Umwene Solomoni
Watazwala icisote cino nyina wamupangiile
Pa wanda wakwe uwa winga,
Lino Solomoni wasansamwike.”
