1Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
1Tarira, akanaka sei, shamwari yangu; tarira, akanaka sei! Meso ako akafanana neenjiva pakutarira kwawo pakati pechifukidzo chako; Vhudzi rako rakafanana neboka rembudzi, Dzinoburukira mujinga megomo reGiriyadhi.
2Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
2Meno ako akafanana neboka ramakwai achangoveurwa, Anobva pakushambwa; Rimwe nerimwe rawo rina vana vaviri, Hakuna rimwe risina mwana.
3Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
3Miromo yako yakafanana norwonzi rwakatsvuka; Kutaura kwako kwakanaka; Zvavovo zvako zvakafanana nebhande redamba Pakutarira kwako pakati pechifukidzo chako.
4Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
4Mutsipa wako wakafanana nenhare yaDhavhidhi. Yakavakirwa nhumbi dzokurwa, Makaturikwa nhovo dzine churu chezana, Dzose dziri nhovo dzemhare.
5Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
5Mazamu ako maviri akafanana navana vemharapara, Vari vana vakaberekwa vari vaviri, Vanochera pakati pamaruva ebundo.
6Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
6Kana zuva rotonhorera, mimvuri yotiza, Ndichaenda kugomo remura, Nokuchikomba chezvinonhuhwira.
7Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
7Akaisvonaka, iwe shamwari yangu; Hakuna gwapa kwauri.
8Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
8Hendei tose, iwe mwenga wangu, tibve paRebhanoni, Tibve paRebhanoni tose; Tarira uri pamusoro weAmana, Pamisoro yeSeniri neHerimoni, Panzvimbo dzeshumba,
9Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
9Wanditorera moyo wangu, hanzvadzi yangu, mwenga wangu; Wanditorera moyo wangu nokunditarira kamwe nameso ako, Nechishongo chimwe chomutsipa wako.
10How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
10Rudo rwako rwakanaka sei, hanzvadzi yangu, mwenga wangu! Rudo rwako runopfuura waini zvikuru sei! Nokunhuhwira kwezvizoro zvako miti yose inonhuhwira!
11Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
11Miromo yako, mwenga wangu, inodonha musvi wouchi; Uchi nomukaka zviri pasi porurimi rwako; Kunhuhwira kwenguvo dzako kwakafanana nokunhuhwira kweRebhanoni.
12A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
12Hanzvadzi yangu, mwenga wangu, munda wakakomberedzwa, Chitubu chakapoteredzwa, tsime rakafunhirwa.
13Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
13Matavi ako munda wamatamba, une zvibereko zvakaisvonaka; Maruva ehena nenaridho,
14Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
14Naridho nesafironi, Karamusi nekinamoni, nemiti yose inonhuhwira, Mura negavakava, nezvose zvinoisvonhuhwira.
15A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
15Uri tsime reminda, Chitubu chemvura mhenyu, Nenzizi dzinoyerera dzichibva Rebhanoni.
16Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
16Muka, iwe mhepo yokumusoro; uya, iwe mhepo yezasi; Furidzira pamunda wangu, kuti zvinonhuhwira zvawo zvibudire kunze. Mudiwa wangu ngaapinde mumunda make, Ngaadye zvibereko zvake zvakaisvonaka.
