Song of Solomon 3
1 In my bed by night I sought him that my soule loued: I sought him, but I found him not.
Ubusuku bonke ngisembhedeni wami ngamdinga lowo othandwa yinhliziyo yami; ngamdinga kodwa kangimfumananga.
2 I will rise therefore nowe, and goe about in the citie, by the streetes and by the open places, and wil seeke him that my soule loueth: I sought him, but I found him not.
Sengivuka manje ngizulazule phakathi kwedolobho, emigwaqweni lasemagcekeni alo; ngizalibhudula ngidinga othandwa yinhliziyo yami. Kanjalo ngamdinga kodwa angaze ngamthola.
3 The watchmen that went about the citie, found mee: to whome I said, Haue you seene him, whome my soule loueth?
Abalindi bangifica belokhu benquma phakathi kwedolobho. “Like lambona yini lowo othandwa yinhliziyo yami?”
4 When I had past a litle from them, then I found him whom my soule loued: I tooke holde on him and left him not, till I had brought him vnto my mothers house into the chamber of her that conceiued me.
Ngathi ngisedlula kubo ngabe ngimbona othandwa yinhliziyo yami. Ngambamba angaze ngamyekela ukuba ahambe ngaze ngamletha endlini kamama, endlini yakhe lowo owangizalayo.
5 I charge you, O daughters of Ierusalem, by the roes and by the hindes of the fielde, that ye stirre not vp, nor waken my loue vntill she please.
Madodakazi aseJerusalema, ngiyaliqonqosela ngezimpala langezimpalakazi zeganga. Lingalunyakazisi loba liluvuse uthando luze luzifunele lona.
6 Who is shee that commeth vp out of the wildernes like pillars of smoke perfumed with myrrhe and incense, and with all the spices of the marchant?
Ngubani lo ozayo eqhamuka enkangala kungathi yisikhatha sentuthu, eziqhole ngamakha emure lenhlaka eyenziwe ngemihlobo yonke yezinongo zomthengisi?
7 Beholde his bed, which is Salomons: threescore strong men are round about it, of the valiant men of Israel.
Khangela! Yinqola kaSolomoni, isekelwe ngamabutho angamatshumi ayisithupha, angabathenjwa abayinqaba ko-Israyeli,
8 They all handle the sworde, and are expert in warre, euery one hath his sword vpon his thigh for the feare by night.
bonke begqize izinkemba enqulwini, bonke sebake bazilwa izimpi, ngulowo lalowo inkemba yakhe eceleni kwakhe, elungele ukuhlatshwa komkhosi ebusuku.
9 King Salomon made himselfe a palace of the trees of Lebanon.
Inkosi uSolomoni yazenzela inqola leyo; yayenza ngezigodo zeLebhanoni.
10 Hee made the pillars thereof of siluer, and the pauement thereof of gold, the hangings thereof of purple, whose middes was paued with the loue of the daughters of Ierusalem.
Imijabo yayo yayenza ngesiliva, isisekelo sayo yasenza ngegolide. Isihlalo sayo yasithungela ilembu eliyibubende ingaphakathi yayo yaceciswa ngothando ngamadodakazi aseJerusalema.
11 Come forth, ye daughters of Zion, and behold the King Salomon with the crowne, wherewith his mother crowned him in ye day of his mariage, and in the day of the gladnes of his heart.
Phumani phandle madodakazi aseZiyoni, libone iNkosi uSolomoni ithwele umqhele, umqhele ewetheswa ngunina mhla welanga atshada ngalo, ilanga inhliziyo yakhe yathokoza ngalo.
