INgoma Yezingoma
1 Ingoma yezingoma* kaSolomoni:+
3 Amafutha akho anukelela mnandi.+
Ibizo lakho linjengamafutha athululwayo anukelelayo.+
Yikho intombi zikuthanda.
4 Ngithatha sihambe sonke,* kasigijime.
Inkosi ingingenise emakamelweni ayo angaphakathi!
Asithokoze njalo sijabule.
Sibabaze* uthando ongipha lona ngoba lungcono kulewayini.
Baqondile* sibili abakuthandayo.
5 Awu madodakazi aseJerusalema, ngimnyama sibili kodwa ngimuhle,
Nginjengamatende aseKhedari,+ njengamalembu amatende+ kaSolomoni.
6 Lingangikhangeli ngoba ngimnyama,
Ngenxa yokuthi ngitshiswe lilanga.
Abafowethu bangizondela,
Bathi ngiyelinda amasimu amagilebisi,
Kodwa eyami insimu angiyilindanga.
Kungani kumele ngibe njengowesifazana ovalwe ngeveyili,*
Phakathi kwemihlambi yabangane bakho?”
8 “Awu wena olitshatshazi phakathi kwabesifazana, nxa kuyikuthi awukwazi
Landela umzila womhlambi,
Uyekwelusela amazinyane embuzi zakho eduze kwamatende abelusi.”
9 “Sthandwa sami, ngikufanisa lebhiza* elisikazi phakathi kwezinqola zikaFaro.+
10 Ayisibuhle bezihlathi zakho eziceciswe ngemiceciso,*
Lentamo yakho egaxwe amangqongqo.
11 Sizakwenzela imiceciso* yegolide,
Enanyekwe ngesiliva.”
13 Usomoya wami unjengesikhwama semure+ enukelela kamnandi,
Esiphakathi kwamabele ami ubusuku bonke.
15 “Ayisibuhle bakho sthandwa sami!
Umuhle sthandwa sami! Amehlo akho anjengawamajuba.”+
16 “Awu somoya wami umuhle njalo uyathokozisa.+
Umbheda wethu uphakathi kwamahlamvu.
17 Amapulanka endlu yethu* ngawomsedari,
Imithando yophahla lwethu ngeyezihlahla zomjunipha.
