Ndebele - Song of Solomon - 1

1:1  Ingoma yezingoma engekaSolomoni.

1:2  Kangange ngokwanga komlomo wakhe; ngoba uthando lwakho lungcono kulewayini.

1:3  Ngenxa yephunga lamagcobo akho amnandi, ibizo lakho linjengamagcobo athululiweyo; ngakho-ke izintombi ziyakuthanda.

1:4  Ngidonsa, sizagijima emva kwakho; inkosi ingingenise emakamelweni ayo; sizajabula sithokoze kuwe, sikhumbule uthando lwakho okwedlula iwayini; abaqondileyo bayakuthanda.

1:5  Ngimnyama, kodwa ngimuhle, madodakazi eJerusalema, njengamathente eKedari, njengamakhetheni kaSolomoni.

1:6  Lingangibukeli ngoba ngimnyama, ngoba ilanga lingitshisile. Abantwana bakamama bangizondela, bangenza umlindikazi wezivini; isivini sami esingesami kangisilindanga.

1:7  Ngitshela, wena umphefumulo wami okuthandayo, ukuthi welusela ngaphi, uphumuza ngaphi umhlambi emini; ngoba kungani ngizakuba njengozulayo ngasemihlanjini yabangane bakho?

1:8  Uba ungazi, wena omuhle kakhulu phakathi kwabesifazana, phuma wena ngezinyathelo zomhlambi, welusele amazinyane akho phansi kwamadumba abelusi.

1:9  Ngikufananise lebhizakazi ezinqoleni zikaFaro, mthandwa wami.

1:10  Izihlathi zakho zinhle phakathi kwemiceciso, intamo yakho ngezigqizo.

1:11  Sizakwenzela imiceciso yegolide lamaqhubu esiliva.

1:12  Inkosi isesetafuleni layo ledili inadi* yami yakhupha iphunga layo.

1:13  Isithandwa sami kimi siyisamba semure*; sizalala phakathi kwamabele ami ebusuku.

1:14  Isithandwa sami kimi silihlukuzo lesihlahla sehena* ezivinini zeEngedi.

1:15  Khangela, umuhle, mthandwa wami, khangela, umuhle, amehlo akho angawamajuba.

1:16  Khangela, umuhle, sithandwa sami, isibili uyathokozisa. Lombheda wethu uluhlaza.

1:17  Imijabo yezindlu zethu yimisedari, intungo zethu ngezefiri*.
