Sefela sa Difela
1 Sefela sa difela,* sa ga Solomone:+
3 Leokwane le o le itshasitseng le nkga monate.+
Leina la gago le tshwana le leokwane le le nkgang monate le le itshelwang.+
Ke gone ka moo makgarebe a go ratang.
4 Ntseye o tsamaye le nna;* a re siane.
Kgosi e ntlisitse mo diphaposing tsa yone tse di kwa teng!
A re itumele mmogo.
A re bake* ditsela tse o bontshang lorato ka tsone go gaisa beine.
Go a tshwanela go bo ba* go rata.
5 Ke motshwana,* mme gone ke montle, lona bomorwadia Jerusalema,
Jaaka ditente tsa Kedare,+ jaaka matsela a tente+ ya ga Solomone.
6 Lo se ka lwa ntlhoma matlho ka gonne ke le motshwana,
Ka gonne letsatsi le mpabotse.
Bokgaitsadiake ba ne ba nkgalefela;
Ba ne ba ntlhoma gore ke nne motlhokomedi wa masimo a morara,*
Le fa ke ne ke sa kgone go tlhokomela tshimo ya me ya morara.
7 Wena yo ke go ratang thata, mpolelele
Kwa o disang letsomane la gago gone,+
Kwa o le bothisang gone motshegare.
Goreng ke tshwanetse go nna jaaka mosadi yo o ikhurumeditseng ka letsela*
Fa gare ga matsomane a balekane ba gago?”
8 “Fa e le gore ga o itse, wena yo montle thata go gaisa basadi ba bangwe botlhe,
Sala motlhala wa letsomane morago
Mme o fudise dipotsane tsa gago gaufi le ditente tsa badisa.”
9 “Moratiwa wa me, ke go tshwantshitse le pitse nngwe* e namagadi e e mo dikareng tsa ga Faro.+
10 Marama a gago a kgabisitswe ka dibenyane,*
Molala wa gago one o kgabisitswe ka dibaga.
11 Re tla go direla dibenyane* tsa gauta
Tse di kgomareditsweng selefera.”
12 “Fa kgosi e nna fa tafoleng ya yone e e sediko,
Senkgisamonate*+ sa me se ntsha lonko lwa sone lo lo monate.
13 Mo go nna, moratiwa wa me o tshwana le kgetsi ya borekhu jo bo nkgang monate*+
E e nnang fa gare ga mabele a me bosigo.
14 Mo go nna, moratiwa wa me o tshwana le semela sa hena se se nkgang monate+
Fa gare ga masimo a morara a Ene-gedi.”+
15 “O montle moratiwa.
O montle tota. Matlho a gago ke a maeba.”+
16 “O montle moratiwa, e bile o a itumedisa.+
Bolao jwa rona bo mo gare ga matlhare a ditlhare.
17 Dikota tsa ntlo* ya rona ke tsa masedara,
Ditlhomeso tsa rona tsone ke tsa ditlhare tsa mofira.
