Ndebele - Song of Solomon - 7

7:1  Zinhle kangakanani izinyawo zakho emanyathelweni, ndodakazi yenkosana! Amalunga amathangazi akho anjengemiceciso, umsebenzi wezandla zengcitshi.

7:2  Inkaba yakho injengomganu oyingubhe ongasweli iwayini elixutshanisiweyo. Isisu sakho sinjengenqumbi yengqoloyi ezingelezelwe yimiduze.

7:3  Amabele akho womabili anjengabantwana ababili bomziki, abangamaphahla empala.

7:4  Intamo yakho injengomphotshongo wempondo zendlovu. Amehlo akho ayiziziba zeHeshiboni ngasesangweni leBeti-Rabimi. Impumulo yakho injengomphotshongo weLebhanoni okhangelene leDamaseko.

7:5  Ikhanda lakho phezu kwakho linjengeKharmeli, lenwele zekhanda lakho ezilengayo zinjengokuyibubende; inkosi ibotshwe emikhandlweni.

7:6  Umuhle kangakanani, njalo uthandeka kangakanani, thando, ezinjabulweni.

7:7  Lobu ubude bakho bunjengesihlahla selala, lamabele akho njengamaxha.

7:8  Ngathi: Ngizakhwela esihlahleni selala ngibambe ingatsha zaso. Khathesi-ke amabele akho azakuba njengamahlukuzo evini, lephunga lamakhala akho linjengama-aphula,

7:9  lolwanga lwakho lunjengewayini elihle eliya kusithandwa sami kakuhle, kusenza indebe zabaleleyo zikhulume.

7:10  Ngingowesithandwa sami, lesifiso saso singakimi.

7:11  Woza, sithandwa sami, kasiphumele egangeni, silale ebusuku emizaneni;

7:12  kasivuke ngovivi siye ezivinini, sibone ukuthi amavini asehluma, ekhupha impoko, lokuthi amapomegranati* akhahlele yini. Lapho ngizakunika uthando lwami.

7:13  Amamandrake* akhupha iphunga elimnandi, langasemasangweni ethu kukhona zonke inhlobo zezithelo ezimnandi kakhulu, ezintsha lezindala, engizibekele wena, sithandwa sami.
