1 Ndauya zvangu mubindu rangu, hanzvadzi yangu, iwe mwenga wangu;
ndaunganidza mura yangu pamwe chete nezvinonhuhwira zvangu.
Ndadya zinga rangu rouchi nouchi hwangu;
ndanwa waini yangu nomukaka wangu.
Idyai, imi shamwari, uye munwe;
inwai mugute, imi vanodanana.
2 Ndakavata asi mwoyo wangu wakanga wakasvinura.
Inzwai! Mudiwa wangu ari kugogodza, achiti,
“Ndizarurire, hanzvadzi yangu, mudiwa wangu,
njiva yangu, wangu asina chinongo.
Musoro wangu wanyorova nedova,
bvudzi rangu ranyoroveswa nounyoro hweusiku.”
3 Ndabvisa nguo yangu,
ndoipfekazve here?
Ndashambidza tsoka dzangu,
ndodzisvibisazve here?
4 Mudiwa wangu akapinza ruoko rwake nepahwangwadza yomukova;
mwoyo wangu wakatanga kumudokwairira.
5 Ndakasimuka kuti ndizarurire mudiwa wangu,
maoko angu akadonha mura,

pazvibato zvechizarira.
6 Ndakazarurira mudiwa wangu,
asi mudiwa wangu akanga abva; akanga atoenda.
Mwoyo wangu wakarwadziwa nokuenda kwake.
Ndakamutsvaka asi handina kumuwana.
Ndakamudana asi haana kupindura.
7 Varindi vakandiona
pavaiva pabasa ravo rokufamba-famba vachichengetedza guta.
Vakandirova, vakandikuvadza;

ivavo varindi vamasvingo!
8 Imi vanasikana veJerusarema, ndinokurayirai,
kana mukaona mudiwa wangu,

Mumuudze kuti ndinorwara nerudo.
9 Mudiwa wako akanaka kukunda vamwe pakudii,

Mudiwa wako akanaka kukunda vamwe pakudii,

10 Mudiwa wangu akanaka uye mutsvuku,

11 Musoro wake igoridhe chairo;

uye rakasviba segunguo.
12 Meso ake akafanana nenjiva
dziri pahova dzemvura,
dzakashambidzwa mumukaka,
akarongwa sezvishongo.
13 Matama ake akaita semihomba yezvinonhuhwira
inobereka zvinonhuhwira.
Miromo yake yakaita samaruva amahapa
anodonha mura.
14 Maoko ake itsvimbo dzegoridhe
dzakaiswa mabwe anokosha ekrisorite.
Muviri wake wakaita senyanga dzenzou dzinobwinya
dzakashongedzwa nesafire.
15 Makumbo ake imbiru dzamabwe machena
akamiswa pazvigadziko zvegoridhe rakanatswa.
Chimiro chake chakaita seRebhanoni,
chakanakisisa semisidhari yayo.
16 Muromo wake inhapitapi pachayo;
zvirokwazvo akaisvonaka.
Uyu ndiye mudiwa wangu, ndiye shamwari yangu,
imi vanasikana veJerusarema.
