Song of Solomon 3
1 One night when I was lying in bed, I longed for the one I love. I longed for him, but he was nowhere to be found.
प्रेमिका आफैसित बोल्दैः रातमा मेरो ओछ्यानमा मेरो प्राणले प्रेम गरेको प्रेमीलाई मैले खोज्दै थिएँ । मैले उहाँको खोजी गरेँ, तर उहाँलाई भेट्टाउन सकिनँ ।
2 So I said to myself, “I will get up now and go through the city, looking in its streets and squares for the one I love.” I looked for him but I didn't find him.
मैले आफैलाई भनेँ, “म उठ्ने छु, र सहरबाट जाने छु, गल्ली र चोकहरूबाट जाने छु । मेरो प्राणले प्रेम गरेको प्रेमीलाई म खोज्ने छु ।” मैले उहाँको खोजी गरेँ, तर उहाँलाई भेट्टाउन सकिनँ ।
3 The watchmen found me as they went through the city. “Have you seen the one I love?” I asked them.
पहरेदारहरू सहरमा घुम्दै गर्दा तिनीहरूले मलाई भेट्टाए । मैले तिनीहरूलाई सोधेँ, “मेरो प्राणले प्रेम गर्ने मेरा प्रेमीलाई के तपाईंहरूले देख्नुभएको छ?”
4 Only a little farther on after I'd passed them I found my love! I held him close and would not let him go until I'd brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me.
तिनीहरूबाट गएको केही समयपछि मात्रै मेरो प्राणले प्रेम गर्ने मेरा प्रेमीलाई मैले भेट्टाएँ । मैले उहाँलाई समातेँ, र मेरी आमाको घरमा, मलाई जन्म दिनुहुनेको कोठाभित्र नल्याएसम्म मैले उहाँलाई जान दिइनँ । प्रेमिका अन्य स्त्रीहरूसित बोल्दैः
5 Women of Jerusalem, swear to me by the gazelles or the wild deer that you won't disturb our love until the right time.
हे यरूशलेमका छोरीहरू हो, मैदानका मुडुली मृग र हरिणहरूको नाउँमा म तिमीहरूसित वाचा बाँध्छु, कि आफूले नचाहेसम्म प्रेमलाई नबिउँझाओ वा नजगाओ । प्रेमिका आफैसित बोल्दैः
6 Who is this coming in from the wilderness like a plume of smoke, like a burning sacrifice scented with myrrh and frankincense, with all kinds of imported perfumed powders?
व्यापारीहरूद्वारा बेचिएका सबै मसलाबाट बनिएको मूर्र र धूपले सुगन्धित भएर धूवाँको मुस्लोझैँ उजाड-स्थानबाट माथि आउँदै गरेको के हो?
7 Look, it's Solomon's sedan chair, accompanied by sixty of Israel's best warriors.
हेर, यो त सोलोमनको पलङ्ग पो रहेछ । इस्राएलका साठी जना योद्धाले यसको वरिपरि सुरक्षा दिँदै छन् ।
8 All of them are expert swordsmen who have battle experience. They each carry a sword strapped to the thigh, ready for any night-time attacks.
तिनीहरू सबै तरवार चलाउन सिपालु छन्, र युद्धमा अनुभवी छन् । रातको त्रासको विरुद्धमा लड्न हरेकले तरवार भिरेको छ ।
9 (Solomon's sedan chair was made for him with wood from Lebanon.
राजा सोलोमनले आफ्नै निम्ति लेबनानको काठबाट पालकी बनाउनुभयो ।
10 Its posts were covered in silver, and the back was covered in gold. The seat cushion was purple. The interior was lovingly decorated.) Women of Jerusalem,
यसका डन्डाहरू चाँदीका थिए । यसको पछाडिको भाग सुनबाट बनेको थियो, र आसनचाहिँ बैजनी वस्त्रले ढाकिएको थियो । यसको भित्री भागचाहिँ यरूशलेमका छोरीहरूको प्रेमले सजिएको थियो । प्रेमिका यरूशलेमका स्त्रीहरूसित बोल्दैः
11 come out! Look, women of Zion! See King Solomon wearing the crown that his mother placed on his head on his wedding day, his happiest day.
हे सियोनका छोरीहरू हो, बाहिर गएर राजा सोलोमनलाई एकटक लगाएर हेर, जसले मुकुट लगाउनुभएको छ, जुन उहाँकी आमाले विवाहको दिनमा, उहाँको हृदय आनन्दले भरिएको दिनमा उहाँलाई पहिराइदिएकी थिइन् ।
