ಪರಮಗೀತೆ 1
This is [King] Solomon’s most beautiful song.
Kiss me [on my lips], because your love [for me] is more delightful than wine.
3 ೩ ನಿನ್ನ ತೈಲವು ಸುಗಂಧ; ನಿನ್ನ ಹೆಸರು ಸುರಿದ ತೈಲದ ಸುಗಂಧದಂತೆ ವ್ಯಾಪಿಸಿರುವುದರಿಂದ, ತರುಣಿಯರು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುವರು.
The fragrance of the cologne on your [skin] is [very] sweet/pleasing [CHI]. And your reputation is [very] good and spreads, [like] [SIM] the fragrance of the special oil spread on your skin. That is why the [other] young women are attracted to you.
4 ೪ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನಿನ್ನಡೆಗೆ ಸೆಳೆದುಕೋ; ನಿನ್ನ ಹಿಂದೆ ಓಡಿ ಬರುವೆನು; ರಾಜನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಅಂತಃಪುರಕ್ಕೆ ಬರಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ; ನಿನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹರ್ಷಿಸಿ ಉಲ್ಲಾಸಿಸುವೆವು, ನಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯು ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಾರಸಕ್ಕಿಂತಲೂ ಉತ್ತಮವಾದುದು; ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯರು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಯಥಾರ್ಥವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುವರು.
Take me quickly; take me to your home. [It is as though] you are my king; take me into your room. We are very happy [DOU] about you; we say that your love [for each other] is better than wine. It is not surprising that the other young women adore you.
You women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful; my dark skin is like [SIM] the tents in Kedar, [or] like the beautiful curtains in Solomon’s palace.
6 ೬ ನಾನು ಕಪ್ಪಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಎಂದು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ದಿಟ್ಟಿಸಿ ನೋಡಬೇಡಿರಿ. ನಾನು ಕಪ್ಪಾಗಿರುವುದು ಸೂರ್ಯನ ತಾಪದಿಂದ. ನನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರು ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಕೋಪಗೊಂಡು ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಿತೋಟಗಳನ್ನು ಕಾಯುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಇಟ್ಟರು; ಆದುದರಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ಸ್ವಂತ ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಿ ತೋಟವನ್ನೂ ನಾನು ಕಾಯ್ದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ.
[But] do not stare at me because of the sun having caused my skin to become dark; my brothers were angry with me, [so] they forced me to work [out in the sunshine] in the vineyards, so I was not able to take good care of my body/skin [CHI, MET].
7 ೭ ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಾಣಪ್ರಿಯನೇ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮಂದೆಯನ್ನು ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಮೇಯಿಸುವೆ? ನಡುಹಗಲಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಮಂದೆಯು ಎಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಶ್ರಮಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ? ಹೇಳು. ನಾನೇಕೆ ಅಲೆಮಾರಿಗಳಂತೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಗೆಳೆಯರ ಮಂದೆಗಳ ಹತ್ತಿರ ಅಲೆಯಬೇಕು?
You whom I [SYN] love, where will you take your flock of sheep today? Where will you allow them to rest at noontime? I want to know because it is not right [RHQ] for me to wander around like a prostitute looking for you among the flocks that belong to your friends.
8 ೮ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯರಲ್ಲಿ ಅತಿ ಸುಂದರವಾದ ಹೆಣ್ಣು ನೀನು, ನಿನಗಿದು ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲವಾದರೆ ಹಿಂಡಿನ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಯ ಜಾಡನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದು ಹೋಗಿ, ಕುರುಬರ ಗುಡಾರಗಳ ಬಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಕೆಮರಿಗಳನ್ನು ಮೇಯಿಸು.
You who are the most beautiful of all the women, if you [search for me and] do not know [where I will take my sheep], follow the tracks/footprints of the sheep. [Then] allow your young goats to (graze/eat grass) near the shepherds’ tents.
You [are beautiful], my darling, like the young female horse that pulls the chariot of the king of Egypt.
Your cheeks are decorated with jewelry, and there are strings of beads/pearls around your neck.
We will make for you [some] gold earrings that are decorated/inlaid with silver.
While the king was on his couch, the smell of my perfume spread [around the room].
The man who loves me is [as delightful as [MET]] a (sachet/small cloth bag) of myrrh between my breasts.
He is like [MET] a bunch of flowers from the vineyards at En-Gedi.
You whom I love, you are beautiful; you are very beautiful! Your eyes are [as delightful/charming as] doves.
You who love me, you are very delightful/handsome, you are wonderful! This green grass will be [like] a couch [where we lie down].
[Branches of] cedar [trees] will shade us; [it is as though branches of] juniper/pine [trees] will be like [MET] a roof [over our heads].
