Ndithudi, ndiwe wokongola!
Maso ako ali ngati nkhunda kumbuyo kwa nsalu yophimba kumutu.
Tsitsi lako lili ngati gulu la mbuzi

2Mano ako ali ngati gulu la nkhosa zomwe zangometedwa kumene,

Iliyonse ili ndi ana amapasa;

3Milomo yako ili ngati mbota yofiira;

Kukhalira kumbuyo kwa nsalu yako yophimba

zishango zonsezo za anthu ankhondo.
5Mawere ako ali ngati tiana tiwiri ta nswala,

12Iwe mlongo wanga, mkwatibwi wanga, ndiwe munda wopiringidzidwa;
ndiwe kasupe wotchingidwa, chitsime chotetezedwa.
13Zomera zako ndi munda wa zipatso za makangadza;

15Iwe ndiwe kasupe wa mʼmunda,

Mkazi
16Dzuka, iwe mphepo yakumpoto,

Bwenzi langa alowe mʼmunda mwake
ndi kudya zipatso zake zabwino kwambiri.

1How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from the hills of Gilead.
2Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.
3Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.
4Your neck is like the tower of David,
built with courses of stone4:4 The meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain.;
on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
5Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.
6Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.
7You are altogether beautiful, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.
8Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon,
from the lions’ dens
and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
10How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
more than any spice!
11Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
12You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride;
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
13Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
with choice fruits,
with henna and nard,
14nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh and aloes
and all the finest spices.
15You are4:15 Or I am (spoken by She) a garden fountain,
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.
She
16Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.
