Bambusisa uRebeka , bathi kuye : Dadewethu, yiba wena izinkulungwane zezigidi, inzalo yakho inqobe amasango ezitha zayo.

Lapho ewasondeza kuye ukuba awadle , wambamba, wathi kuye : Woza ulale nami, dadewethu.

U-Abisalomu umnewabo wathi kuye: Umnewenu u-Amnoni kade enawe na? Thula, dadewethu; ungumnewenu, ungabeki inhliziyo yakho kule nto . UTamari wahlala eyisikhwebu nje endlini ka-Abisalomu umnewabo.

Ungaphucile inhliziyo yami, dadewethu, makoti wami; ungaphucile inhliziyo yami ngelinye lamehlo akho, ngomgexo munye wentamo yakho.

Lumnandi kangakanani uthando lwakho , dadewethu, makoti wami! Luhle kangakanani uthando lwakho , kunewayini, nephunga lamafutha akh o kunamakha onke!

Uyinsimu ehluthulelweyo, dadewethu, makoti wami , umthombo ohluthulelweyo nesiphethu esibekwe uphawu.

Bengilele, kepha inhliziyo yami ibiphapheme ; kuyizwi lothandiweyo wami elingqongqotha lithi : Ngivulele, dadewethu, sithandwa sami , juba lami , opheleleyo wami, ngokuba ikhanda lami ligcwele amazolo , nesihluthu sami amaconsi asebusuku.
