Song of Solomon 1
Ingoma yezingoma kaSolomoni.
2 Kisse he me with the cos of his mouth. For thi tetis ben betere than wyn,
Kangange ngezangiwo zomlomo wakhe ngoba uthando lwakho lumnandi kulewayini.
3 and yyuen odour with beste oynementis. Thi name is oile sched out; therfor yonge damesels loueden thee.
Limnandi iphunga lamagcobo akho; ibizo lakho linjengamakha atheliweyo. Yikho izintombi zikuthanda kangaka!
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.
Ngithatha uhambe lami, kasiphangise! Inkosi kayingingenise endlini yayo. Abangane Siyathokoza njalo siyajabula ngawe; sizalubabaza uthando lwakho okudlula iwayini. Umlobokazi Kabazenzi ukuba bakuthande!
5 Ye douytris of Jerusalem, Y am blak, but fair, as the tabernaclis of Cedar, as the skynnes of Salomon.
Ngimnyama kodwa ngiyabukeka, lina madodakazi aseJerusalema ngimnyama okwamathente aseKhedari, okwamakhetheni amathente 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.
Linganginyonkolozi ngoba ngimnyama, ngimnyama ngenxa yokutshiswa lilanga. Abanewethu bangizondela bangenza umlindi wesivini; angabe ngisanaka esami isivini.
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.
Akungitshele, wena engikuthandayo, uyelusela ngaphi imihlambi yezimvu zakho lokuthi ziphumula ngaphi izimvu zakho emini? Kungani ngisiba njengomfazi ombozileyo eceleni kwemihlambi yabangane bakho na?
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.
Nxa ungazi, wena omuhle okudlula bonke abesifazane, landela umkhondo wezimvu udlisele amazinyane embuzi zakho eduze lamathente abelusi.
9 Mi frendesse, Y licnede thee to myn oost of knyytis in the charis of Farao.
Sithandwa sami, ngikufanisa lebhiza elisikazi elibotshwe enqoleni kaFaro.
10 Thi chekis ben feire, as of a turtle; thi necke is as brochis.
Izihlathi zakho zinhle ngokuceciswa, intamo yakho ngobuhlalu obucazimulayo.
11 We schulen make to thee goldun ournementis, departid and maad dyuerse with silver.
Sizakwenzela amacici egolide, ebalazwe ngesiliva.
12 Whanne the kyng was in his restyng place, my narde yaf his odour.
Khonapho inkosi isetafuleni amakha ami enadi alanquza iphunga lawo elimnandi.
13 My derlyng is a bundel of myrre to me; he schal dwelle bitwixe my tetis.
Kimi isithandwa sami sinjengemfuko yemure ithe khoxo phakathi kwamabele ami.
14 My derlyng is to me a cluster of cipre tre, among the vyneres of Engaddi.
Kimi isithandwa sami sinjengelixha lempoko zehena eliphuma esivinini se-Eni-Gedi.
15 Lo! my frendesse, thou art fair; lo! thou art fair, thin iyen ben the iyen of culueris.
Bakithi, umuhle njani sithandwa sami! Ngeqiniso umuhle! Amehlo akho angamajuba.
16 Lo, my derling, thou art fair, and schapli; oure bed is fair as flouris.
Umuhle ngempela, sithandwa sami! Bakithi, uyabukeka! Umbheda wethu butshani obuluhlaza tshoko.
17 The trees of oure housis ben of cedre; oure couplis ben of cipresse.
Izinsika zendlu yethu ngezomsedari lezintungo ngezefire.
