It is definitely not the second one, but it might
be:

      I do not both enjoy and desire

The three meanings can be unambiguously expressed thusly:

(1) mi ge na nelci gi djica
(2) mi ge na nelci gi na djica
(3) mi na ge nelci gi djica

The parser would suggest that {mi na nelci gi djica} 
corresponds to (1), but sometimes we don't pay any heed
to what the parser says in these matters, especially
when {na} is involved.
