1. Ubusuku bonke emandlalweni wamndahlala ndimlindele olangazelelwa yintliziyo yam;ndaba ngamjonga kodwa andamfumana.
2. Ndosuka ndivuke ndihamba-hambe esixekweni,ndijikeleze ezitalatweni nasemabaleni;ndomzingela lowo ulangazelelwa yintliziyo yam.Ewe, ndaba ngathalaza andamfumana.
3. Ke bona abalindi bandibhaqa;bona babehamba-hamba bejikeleza isixeko:“Ngaba khange nisibone isithandwa sam?”
4. Ukubanje ndahlukane nabosuka ndagaxeleka kuye ndamfumana.Hayi ke, ndambamba andamyeka,ndaza ndaya naye endlwini kamama,kwigumbi lalowo ndakhawulwa nguye.
5. Zintombi zaseJerusalem, ndinifungisaamanxala namabhadi asemathambekeni:Sanukuluxhokonxa ningaluphembeleli uthando;luyekeni lude luzivukele ngokwalo.
6. Ngubani na lo uthi gqi entlango,lo ngathi ngumqulu womsi?Nditsho lo uqholwe ngesiqhumiso nentlakaesiphuma kwiziqholo zabarhwebi.
7. Tyhini, yinqwelo kaSolomon!Ukhatshwa ngamashumi amathandathu amajoni,ezona ngcungela zamagorha akwaSirayeli.
8. Onke agaxel' amakrele;onke ngoompondo zihlanjiwe emfazweni.Ngalinye lixakath' ikrele;selilungel' izigigaba zobusuku.
9. Ukumkani uSolomon uzenzele inqwelo,eyenza ngamaplanga omthi waseLebhanon.
10. Iintsika zayo zityatyekwe ngesiliva,amazantsi ayo atyatyekwa ngegolide.Isihlalo sona sênziwa ngelaphu elimsobo;umphakathi ke wona uthungwe ngobunonozezo ntombi zaseJerusalem.
11. Phumani, zintombi zaseZiyon;khanikhangele nimbone ukumkani uSolomon.Nanko ethwele isithsaba sobukhosi,eso wasithweswa nguninamhla zawelan' iindonga,mhla intliziyo yakhe yaphuphuma luvuyo!
