SEFELA SA DIFELA 2

10Jwale moratuwa o bua le nna, o re:

“Ema, wena moratuwa wa ka,

wena botlenyana wa ka,

itlele re tsamaye.

11Bona, mariha a sa fetile,

pula le tsona di kgaoditse.

12Palesa di fupuhile hara mohlaba,

nako ya ho bina e se fihlile,

kunkuru ya maebana-kgorwana,

e utlwahala naheng ya heso.

13Sefate sa feiye

se beha tholwana tsa sona,

morara o a thunya,

ho nkga hamonate.

Ema, wena moratuwa wa ka,

wena botlenyana wa ka,

itlele re tsamaye.”

SEFELA SA DIFELA 2:10-13SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

When Solomon invites us into the picture of a beautiful woman and a swooning lover saying: Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me, we can imagine the delight that is there: winter is past and all is prepared for the new life to come. We look on with joy in our hearts; happy for the two who have discovered God’s gift.

Take a moment now to think of the delight God also has in us. We are God’s beloved. Could we imagine God saying: ‘Arise my darling, my beautiful one, come with me’? Can you imagine the spring in your step you will have when you remember God’s love for you.
