IsiHlabelelo SeziHlabelelo 2

¹Ngiyintebe yaseSharoni, nomnduze wezigodi.

²Njengomnduze phakathi kwameva, sinjalo isithandwa sami phakathi kwezintombi.

³Njengomapula phakathi kwemithi yasehlathini, unjalo othandiweyo wami phakathi kwamadodana. Ngahlala phansi emthunzini wakhe ngokwenama okukhulu, nesithelo sakhe sasimnandi emlonyeni wami.

⁴Ungingenisile endlini yewayini, nebhandela lakhe phezu kwami liluthando.

⁵Ngiphaseni ngezigaxa zezithelo zomvini ezomileyo, ngihlumelele ngama-apula, ngokuba ngiyafa uthando.

⁶Isandla sakhe sokhohlo siphansi kwekhanda lami, nesokunene siyangigona.

⁷Ngiyanifungisa, madodakazi aseJerusalema, ngezinsephe nangezindluzelekazi zasendle ukuba ningalunyakazisi, ningaluvusi uthando, lungakavumi.

⁸Nanto izwi lothandiweyo wami! Bheka, uyeza eqa ezintabeni, etshekula emagqumeni.

⁹Othandiweyo wami unjengensephe noma njengesixhumu sendluzele; bheka, umi emva kodonga lwakwethu; uyalunguza emafasiteleni, ubonakala ngaseheleni.

¹⁰Othandiweyo wami wakhuluma, wathi kimi: “Vuka, sithandwa sami, muhlekazi wami; woza sihambe,

¹¹ngokuba bheka, ubusika budlulile; imvula isiphelile, yamuka;

¹²izimbali ziyabonakala emhlabeni, nesikhathi sokuthena imivini sesisondele, nezwi lehobhe liyezwakala ezweni lakithi.

¹³Umkhiwane uthela amakhiwane awo aluhlaza, imivini inezimbali, ithaphuka iphunga layo; vuka, sithandwa sami, muhlekazi wami; woza sihambe.”

¹⁴Juba lami elisemifantwini yamadwala nasekusithekeni kweziwa, mangibone ubuso bakho, ngizwe izwi lakho, ngokuba izwi lakho limnandi, nobuso bakho buhle.

¹⁵Sibambeleni izimpungushe, izimpungushe ezincane ezichitha izivini, ngokuba izivini zethu zinezimbali.

¹⁶Othandiweyo wami ungowami, mina ngingowakhe; uyalusa phakathi kweminduze.

¹⁷Kuze kuphole ilanga, namathunzi abaleke, mawube njengensephe, wena othandiweyo wami, nanjengesixhumu sendluzele ezintabeni eziqhekezekileyo.
