INgoma Yezingoma
4 “Ayisibuhle bakho sthandwa sami.
Umuhle sthandwa sami.
Amehlo akho anjengawamajuba phakathi kweveyili yakho.
Inwele zakho zinjengomhlambi wembuzi
Usehla entabeni zeGiliyadi.+
2 Amazinyo akho anjengomhlambi wezimvu osanda kugelwa uboya,
Izimvu ezisanda kugeziswa,
Zonke izimvu zakhona zizele amaphahla
Kayikho leyodwa elahlekelwe lizinyane layo.
3 Indebe zakho zinjengohali olubomvu,
Amazwi akho amnandi.
Njengocezu lweharinathi,
Zinjalo izihlathi* zakho phakathi kweveyili yakho.
4 Intamo yakho+ injengenqaba kaDavida+
Eyakhiwe ngamatshe agadaniswe kuhle
Okulengiswe kuyo amahawu ayinkulungwane,
Wonke amahawu ayisigombolozi athwalwa ngamadoda alamandla.+
6 “Ngizaqansa ngiye entabeni yemure,
Laseqaqeni lwenhlaka yokwenza impepha,+
Usuku lungakaqali ukubetha umoya lemithunzi ingakabaleki.”
8 Asisuke eLebhanoni makoti wami sihambe
Asisuke sonke eLebhanoni.+
Yehla esiqongweni se-Amana,
Esiqongweni seSeniri, esiqongweni seHemoni,+
Ezimbalwini zezilwane, ezintabeni zezingwe.
9 Uyithumbile inhliziyo yami+ dadewethu, makoti wami,
Uthe ungithi hlasi ngamehlo, wayithumba inhliziyo yami,
Ngengqongqo elilodwa nje lomgaxo wakho.
10 Uthando ongipha lona lumnandi+ dadewethu, makoti wami,
Uthando ongipha lona lewayini lisala phansi,+
Amagcobo akho anukelela kamnandi ukwedlula loba yiwaphi amakha.+
11 Indebe zakho zithonta uluju+ makoti wami,
Uluju lochago kungaphansi kolimi lwakho,+
Amakha asezigqokweni zakho anjengamakha eLebhanoni.
12 Udadewethu, umakoti wami, unjengengadi ekhiyiweyo,
Ingadi ekhiyiweyo, umthombo ovalwe ngci!
13 Ingatsha zakho* zilipharadayisi* lamaharinathi,
Zilezithelo ezimnandi kakhulu lehena lenadi,
14 Inadi,+ lesafroni, lomhlanga*+ kanye lesinamoni,+
Layo yonke imihlobo yezihlahla zenhlaka yokwenza impepha, lemure lamachena,*+
Kanye lawo wonke amakha+ adulayo.
15 Ungumthombo osengadini, umgodi olamanzi amahle,
Unjengezifula ezigeleza zivela eLebhanoni.+
16 Awu moya wenyakatho vuka,
Lawe moya weningizimu woza,
Uphephethe* engadini yami.
Akuthi iphunga layo elimnandi lisabalale.”
“Kwangathi usomoya wami angabuya engadini yakhe,
Adle izithelo zayo ezimnandi.”
