4 Iye wanditengera ku nyumba yaphwando,
ndipo mbendera yake yozika pa ine ndi chikondi.
5 Undidyetse keke ya mphesa zowuma,
unditsitsimutse ndi ma apulosi,
pakuti chikondi chandifowoketsa.
6 Mutu wanga watsamira dzanja lake lamanzere,
ndipo dzanja lake lamanja landikumbatira.
7 Inu akazi a ku Yerusalemu, ndithu ndikukupemphani
pali gwape ndi mbawala yayikazi zakuthengo:
Musachigwedeze chikondi kapena kuchiutsa
mpaka pamene chifunire ichocho.
8 Tamverani bwenzi langa!
Taonani! Uyu akubwera apayu,
akulumphalumpha pa mapiri,
akujowajowa pa zitunda.
9 Bwenzi langa ali ngati gwape kapena mwana wa mbawala.
Taonani! Uyo wayima kuseri kwa khoma lathulo,
akusuzumira mʼmazenera,
akuyangʼana pa mpata wa zenera.
10 Bwenzi langa anayankha ndipo anati kwa ine,
“Dzuka bwenzi langa,
wokongola wanga, ndipo tiye tizipita.
11 Ona, nyengo yozizira yatha;
mvula yatha ndipo yapitiratu.
12 Maluwa ayamba kuoneka pa dziko lapansi;
nthawi yoyimba yafika,
kulira kwa njiwa kukumveka
mʼdziko lathu.
13 Mtengo wankhuyu ukubereka zipatso zake zoyambirira;
mitengo ya mpesa ya maluwa ikutulutsa fungo lake.
Dzuka bwenzi langa, wokongola wanga
tiye tizipita.”
Mwamuna
14 Nkhunda yanga yokhala mʼmingʼalu ya thanthwe,

15 Mutigwirire nkhandwe,

Mkazi
16 Bwenzi langa ndi wangadi ndipo ine ndine wake;

pakati pa mapiri azigwembezigwembe.
3 Usiku wonse ndili pa bedi langa

ndinamufunafuna koma osamupeza.
2 Ndikudzuka tsopano ndipo ndidzayendayenda mu mzinda,

Kotero ine ndinamufunafuna iyeyo koma osamupeza.
3 Alonda anandipeza
pamene ankayendera mzinda.
“Kodi mwamuonako amene mtima wanga umamukonda?”
4 Nditawapitirira pangʼono
ndinamupeza amene mtima wanga umamukonda.
Ndinamugwira ndipo sindinamulole kuti achoke
mpaka nditamulowetsa mʼnyumba ya amayi anga,
mʼchipinda cha amene anandibereka.
5 Inu akazi a ku Yerusalemu, ndithu ndikukupemphani
pali gwape ndi mbawala yayikazi zakuthengo:
Musachigwedeze chikondi kapena kuchiutsa
mpaka pamene chifunire ichocho.
6 Kodi ndani amene akubwera kuchokera ku chipululu
ngati utsi watolotolo,
wonunkhira mure ndi lubani,
zopangidwa kuchokera ku zonunkhira zonse za anthu amalonda?
7 Ona! Chimenecho ndi chonyamulira Solomoni,

anthu amphamvu a ku Israeli,
8 onse atanyamula lupanga,
onse odziwa bwino nkhondo,
aliyense ali ndi lupanga pambali pake,
kukonzekera zoopsa za usiku.
9 Mfumu Solomoni anadzipangira chonyamulirachi;
anachipanga ndi matabwa ochokera ku Lebanoni.
10 Milongoti yake anayipanga yasiliva,
kumbuyo kwake kwa golide.
Mipando yake inakutidwa ndi nsalu yapepo,
anakongoletsa mʼkati mwake ndi chikondi
cha akazi a ku Yerusalemu.
11 Tukulani inu akazi a ku Ziyoni
ndipo mudzaone mfumu Solomoni atavala chipewa chaufumu,
chipewa chaufumu chimene amayi ake anamuveka
pa tsiku la ukwati wake,
tsiku limene mtima wake unasangalala.
