INgoma Yazo Iingoma
4 “Awusemhle nje sithandwa sam.
Uyinzwakazi. Amehlo akho anjengawamahobe
Ngaphaya kwelo laphu logqume ubuso bakho.
Iinwele zakho zinjengomhlambi weebhokhwe
Owehla ezintabeni zaseGiliyadi.+
2 Amazinyo akho anjengomhlambi weegusha ezisanda kuchetywa
Ezivela kuhlanjwa,
Ezizele amawele zonke,
Kungekho nanye elahlekelwe litakane.
3 Imilebe yakho injengomsonto obubomvurha,
Ibe uthetha kamnandi.
Izidlele zakho zinjengerharnati
Ngaphaya kwelo laphu logqume ubuso bakho.
4 Intamo yakho+ injengenqaba kaDavide,+
Eyakhiwe ngamatye,
Ekuxhonywe kuyo amakhaka aliwaka
Amakhaka amakroti arawundi.+
6 “Ndiza kuhamba ndiye entabeni yemore
Nakwinduli yentlaka yokuqhumisa,+
Ingekapholi* imini, anabe namathunzi.”
Yihla entabeni yeAmana,
Entabeni yeSenire, entabeni yeHermon,+
Ezikhundleni zeengonyama, ezintabeni zamahlosi.
9 Uyithimbile intliziyo yam,+ sithandwa sam, mtshakazi wam,
Undithe krwaqu nje kwakanye, wayithimba intliziyo yam,
Ngentsimbi nje enye ejinga emqaleni wakho.
10 Akusemnandi nje ukuthandwa nguwe,+ sithandwa sam, mtshakazi wam!
Ukuthandwa nguwe kumnandi ngaphezu kwewayini,+
Iphefyum yakho inuka kamnandi ngaphezu kwazo zonke iziqholo!+
11 Imilebe yakho, mtshakazi wam ithontsiza ubusi.+
Kukho ubusi nobisi phantsi kolwimi lwakho,+
Iimpahla zakho zinuka kamnandi ngathi livumba laseLebhanon.
12 Siyigadi ebiyelweyo isithandwa sam, umtshakazi wam,
Siyigadi etshixiweyo, umthombo ovalwe ngci.
13 Amasetyana akho angumyezo* weerharnati,
Onezona ziqhamo zimnandi, izityalo zehena nezenadusi,
14 Inadusi+ nesafron, ingcongolo enuka kamnandi+ nesinamon,+
Nazo zonke iintlobo zemithi yentlaka yokuqhumisa, imore nekhala,+
Kunye nezona ziqholo zodidi.+
16 Vuka moya wasemntla,
Ngena moya wasemzantsi.
Phephezela egadini yam.
Malivakale yonke indawo ivumba layo elimnandi.”
“Masingene ke isithandwa sam egadini yaso,
Sitye ezona ziqhamo zimnandi.”
