Song of Songs, Chapter 3

1. Esililini sam ebusuku ndamfuna lowo uthandwa ngumphefumlo wam; Ndamfuna andamfumana.    2. Ndathi, Ndokha ndivuke, ndijikajike phakathi komzi, Ezindaweni zembutho nasezitratweni; Ndiya kumfuna lowo uthandwa ngumphefumlo wam. Ndamfuna andamfumana.    3. Abalindi abajikajika phakathi komzi bandifumana; Ndathi kubo, Khe nambona na lowo uthandwa ngumphefumlo wam?    4. Ndithe ndisandula ukudlula kancinane kubo, Ndamlumana lowo uthandwayo ngumphefumlo wam; Ndambamba, andamyeka, Ndada ndamzisa endlwini kama, Engontsini yowandikhawulayo.    5. Zintombi zaseYerusalem, ndinifungisa Amabhadikazi namaxhamakazi asendle, Ukuba ningaluvusi, ukuba ningaluvuseleli uthando, Lude luthande.    6. Ngubani na lo, unyuka evela entlango njengemiqulu yomsi, Eqhunyiselwa ngemore nentlaka emhlophe, Ithatyathwe emigutyeni yonke yomrhwebi?    7. Yabona, sisingqengqelo sikaSolomon, Siphahlwe ngamagorha angamashumi amathandathu Kumagorha akwaSirayeli.    8. Onke aphethe amakrele, afundiswe ukulwa, Lilelo linekrele ethangeni lalo Ngenxa yokoyika ebusuku.    9. Ukumkani uSolomon uzenzele ithala Ngemithi yaseLebhanon.    10. Iintsika zalo uzenze ngesilivere, Isayamo salo ngegolide, umqamelo walo ngento emfusa, Umphakathi walo ubekelelwe ngothando, Luvela ezintombini zaseYerusalem.    11. Phumani, zintombi zaseZiyon, nimkhangele ukumkani uSolomon, Enesithsaba, awasinxitywa ngunina ngemini yokuzeka kwakhe, Nangemini yokuvuya kwentliziyo yakhe.
