INgoma Yazo Iingoma
8 “Akwaba bendikuthatha njengomntakwethu,
Owancanca emabeleni kamama!
Bendiza kuthi xa ndikubona phandle, ndikuphuze,+
Kungabikho mntu undithela nqa.
Bendiza kukupha iwayini edidiyelwe ngeziqholo,
Incindi yeerharnati ezisanda kukhiwa.
4 Ndiyanifungisa zintombi zaseYerusalem:
Sanukuzama ukuvuselela uthando lwam de luzivukele.”+
5 “Ngubani na lo uzayo evela ngasentlango,
Egonene nesithandwa sakhe?”
“Ndakuvusa uphantsi komthi wama-apile,
Apho wakuzalela khona umama wakho,
Edliwa yinimba.
6 Mandibe yiringi yokubeka isitampu ejinga esifubeni sakho,
Neba sengalweni yakho,
Kuba uthando lunamandla njengokufa,+
Uthando lufuna umntu azinikele ngokupheleleyo,
Ibe aluncami njengengcwaba.*
Amadangatye alo ngamadangatye omlilo, idangatye likaYa.*+
Ukuba umntu ebenokuzama ukuluthenga ngabo bonke ubutyebi bakhe,
Nobo butyebi bebungenyanyeka.”*
Siza kumenzela ntoni udadewethu
Mhla eze kucelwa?”
9 “Ukuba uludonga,
Siza kwakhela phezu kwakhe inqaba yesilivere,
Kodwa ukuba ulucango,
Siza kumvala ngeplanga lomsedare.”
10 “Ndiludonga mna,
Namabele am anjengeenqaba.
Naye uyabona ukuba ndizolile.
11 USolomon wayenentsimi yeediliya+ eBhahali-hamon.
Loo ntsimi wayiqashisa kubalimi.
Ngamnye wayeyibhatalela ngamaqhosha esilivere aliwaka.
12 Ndinentsimi yeediliya eyeyam.
Wona amaqhosha esilivere aliwaka ngawakho* Solomon,
Ibe amakhulu amabini ngawabalimi.”
Nam mandilive.”+
