Ingoma yekucala
Makoti:
2Akangicabuze ngekwanga kwemlomo wakhe,
ngobe lutsandvo lwakho lumnandzi, kwendlula liwayini.
3Liyajabulisa liphunga lemakha akho;
libito lakho linjengemakha latfululwako.
Nguko nje tintfombi tikutsandza kangaka!
4Ngitsatse ngihambe nawe, asisheshise!
Inkhosi ayingingenise esigodlweni sayo.
Bangani:
Siyajabula sikutsakasele;
sitaludvumisa lutsandvo lwakho,
siludvumise kwendlula liwayini.
Makoti:
Kufanele kutsi bakutsandze.
5Ngiluhlata, kodvwa ngiyatsandzeka,
awu, madvodzakati aseJerusalema,
ngiluhlata njengemathende aseKhedari;
yebo, njengetindvwangu temathende aSolomoni.
6Ningangibukisisi ngobe ngiluhlata,
ngobe ngifuswe lilanga.
Emadvodzana amake angitfukutselela,
angenta ngalindza tivini,
sakami sivini ngasiyekelela.
7Ngitjele-ke, wena lengikutsandzako,
ngukuphi lapho udlisa khona umhlambi wakho,
nalapho tihlabulela khona timvu takho emini.
Kudzingeke ngani kutsi ngifanane nemfati
longaphansi kweveyili,
ngehle ngenyuka
ngasemihlambini yebangani bakho?
Umyeni:
8Nangabe awati,
wena mfati lomuhle kakhulu,
landzela etinyatselweni temhlambi wetimvu,
uyewudlisa khona emazinyane etimbuti
ngasemathendeni ebelusi.
9Sitsandvwa sami, ngitakufananisa
nelihhashi lelisikati leliboshelwe
kulenye yetincola taFaro.
10Tihlatsi takho timomondziya nje nase tinemacici,
nentsamo yakho nase yegatjiswe ingcibo.
11Sitakwentela emacici egolide
lahlotjiswe ngesiliva.
Makoti:
12Kwatsi inkhosi isesetafuleni layo,
emakha ami ayitsela ngeliphunga lelimnandzi.
13Longitsandzako unjengemgodla wemakha emure kimi,
lolele emkhatsini wemabele ami.
14Lotsandzekako wami, usicheke setimbali tehena kimi,
letivela etivinini tase-Eni Gedi.
Umyeni:
15Maye, umuhle, sitsandvwa sami bo!
Awu, maye, mahle emehlo akho!
Kimi angematuba.
Makoti:
16Maye, umuhle, sitsandvwa sami bo!
Awu, maye, kona uyakhanga!
Yebo, nembhedze wetfu utsite klaba!
Umyeni:
17Emakabha endlu yetfu angimisedari;
imishayo yetfu ingimisayiphuresi.
