Song of Solomon 1
Ingoma yezingoma engekaSolomoni.
2 Kisse he me with the cos of his mouth. For thi tetis ben betere than wyn,
Kangange ngokwanga komlomo wakhe; ngoba uthando lwakho lungcono kulewayini.
3 and yyuen odour with beste oynementis. Thi name is oile sched out; therfor yonge damesels loueden thee.
Ngenxa yephunga lamagcobo akho amnandi, ibizo lakho linjengamagcobo athululiweyo; ngakho-ke izintombi ziyakuthanda.
4 Drawe thou me after thee; we schulen renne in to the odour of thin oynementis. The kyng ledde me in to hise celeris; we myndeful of thi teetis aboue wyn, schulen make ful out ioye, and schulen be glad in thee; riytful men louen thee.
Ngidonsa, sizagijima emva kwakho; inkosi ingingenise emakamelweni ayo; sizajabula sithokoze kuwe, sikhumbule uthando lwakho okwedlula iwayini; abaqondileyo bayakuthanda.
5 Ye douytris of Jerusalem, Y am blak, but fair, as the tabernaclis of Cedar, as the skynnes of Salomon.
Ngimnyama, kodwa ngimuhle, madodakazi eJerusalema, njengamathente eKedari, njengamakhetheni kaSolomoni.
6 Nyle ye biholde me, that Y am blak, for the sunne hath discolourid me; the sones of my modir fouyten ayens me, thei settiden me a kepere in vyners; Y kepte not my vyner.
Lingangibukeli ngoba ngimnyama, ngoba ilanga lingitshisile. Abantwana bakamama bangizondela, bangenza umlindikazi wezivini; isivini sami esingesami kangisilindanga.
7 Thou spouse, whom my soule loueth, schewe to me, where thou lesewist, where thou restist in myddai; lest Y bigynne to wandre, aftir the flockis of thi felowis.
Ngitshela, wena umphefumulo wami okuthandayo, ukuthi welusela ngaphi, uphumuza ngaphi umhlambi emini; ngoba kungani ngizakuba njengozulayo ngasemihlanjini yabangane bakho?
8 A! thou fairest among wymmen, if thou knowist not thi silf, go thou out, and go forth aftir the steppis of thi flockis; and feede thi kidis, bisidis the tabernaclis of scheepherdis.
Uba ungazi, wena omuhle kakhulu phakathi kwabesifazana, phuma wena ngezinyathelo zomhlambi, welusele amazinyane akho phansi kwamadumba abelusi.
9 Mi frendesse, Y licnede thee to myn oost of knyytis in the charis of Farao.
Ngikufananise lebhizakazi ezinqoleni zikaFaro, mthandwa wami.
10 Thi chekis ben feire, as of a turtle; thi necke is as brochis.
Izihlathi zakho zinhle phakathi kwemiceciso, intamo yakho ngezigqizo.
11 We schulen make to thee goldun ournementis, departid and maad dyuerse with silver.
Sizakwenzela imiceciso yegolide lamaqhubu esiliva.
12 Whanne the kyng was in his restyng place, my narde yaf his odour.
Inkosi isesetafuleni layo ledili inadi yami yakhupha iphunga layo.
13 My derlyng is a bundel of myrre to me; he schal dwelle bitwixe my tetis.
Isithandwa sami kimi siyisamba semure; sizalala phakathi kwamabele ami ebusuku.
14 My derlyng is to me a cluster of cipre tre, among the vyneres of Engaddi.
Isithandwa sami kimi silihlukuzo lesihlahla sehena ezivinini zeEngedi.
15 Lo! my frendesse, thou art fair; lo! thou art fair, thin iyen ben the iyen of culueris.
Khangela, umuhle, mthandwa wami, khangela, umuhle, amehlo akho angawamajuba.
16 Lo, my derling, thou art fair, and schapli; oure bed is fair as flouris.
Khangela, umuhle, sithandwa sami, isibili uyathokozisa. Lombheda wethu uluhlaza.
17 The trees of oure housis ben of cedre; oure couplis ben of cipresse.
Imijabo yezindlu zethu yimisedari, intungo zethu ngezefiri.
