श्रेष्ठगीत 1
1 यो सोलोमनको श्रेष्ठगीत हो । प्रेमिका आफैसित बोल्दै:
Solomon's song of songs.
2 उहाँले मलाई आफ्नो मुखको चुम्बनले चुम्बन गरून् । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दै: किनकि तपाईंको प्रेम दाखमद्यभन्दा उत्तम छ ।
Kiss me, kiss me with your mouth again and again, for your love is sweeter than wine.
3 तपाईंको अभिषेकको तेलमा आनन्दप्रद बास्ना छ । तपाईंको नाउँ बगिरहने अत्तरझैँ छ । त्यसैले युवतीहरूले तपाईंलाई प्रेम गर्छन् ।
I love the way you smell from the perfumed oils you use. You have quite a reputation—it spreads like spilled perfumed oil. It's not surprising that all the young women adore you!
4 मलाई तपाईंसितै लैजानुहोस्, र हामी दौडने छौँ । प्रेमिका आफैसित बोल्दै: राजाले मलाई उहाँका कोठाहरूमा ल्याउनुभएको छ । प्रेमिका प्रमीसित बोल्दै: हामी खुसी छौँ । हामी तपाईंको विषयमा आनन्द मनाउँछौँ । तपाईंको प्रेमको उत्सव मनाऔँ । यो दाखमद्यभन्दा उत्तम छ । अरू स्त्रीहरूले तपाईंलाई सम्मान गर्ने स्वाभाविक नै हो । प्रेमिका अरू स्त्रीहरूसित बोल्दैः
Take me by the hand—let's run! (The king has brought me to his bedroom.) Let's be happy together and find pleasure in your love. Your love is far better than wine! Women are right to adore you so!
5 हे यरूशलेमका छोरीहरू हो, म काली छु, तर मायालु छु । म केदारका पालहरूजस्तै काली र सोलोमनका पर्दाहरूजस्तै मायालु छु ।
I'm black, but I'm beautiful, women of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
6 म काली भएकीले र घामले मलाई डढाएकोले मलाई एकटक लगाएर नहेर । मेरी आमाका छोराहरू मसित रिसाउँथे । तिनीहरूले मलाई दाखबारीको रक्षक बनाए, तर मैले मेरो आफ्नै दाखबारीको रक्षा गरेकी छैनँ । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
Don't look down on me because I'm black, because the sun has burned me. My brothers were angry with me and made me look after the vineyards, so I couldn't look after my own vineyard.
7 हे मेरा प्रेमी, मेरो प्राणले तपाईंलाई प्रेम गर्छ । मलाई बताउनुहोस् । तपाईंले आफ्नो भेडा-बाख्राको बगाल कहाँ चराउनुहुन्छ? दिउँसो तपाईंले आफ्नो बगाल कहाँ विश्राम गराउनुहुन्छ? तपाईंका मित्रहरूका बगालहरूको छेउमा म किन भौँतारिहिँड्ने व्यक्तिझैँ हुने? प्रेमी प्रेमिकासित बोल्दैः
My love, please tell me where you're taking your flock. Where will you rest them at noon? For why should I have to wear a veil while looking for you among the flocks of your companions?
8 हे स्त्रीहरूमध्ये असाध्यै सुन्दरी, तिमीलाई थाहा छैन भने मेरो बगालका पाइलाहरू पछ्याऊ, र गोठालाहरूको पालनेर तिम्रा ससाना बाख्राहरू चराऊ ।
If you really don't know, you who are more beautiful than any other woman, then follow the tracks of my flock, and let your goats graze near the shepherd's tents.
9 हे मेरी प्रिय, म तिमीलाई फारोको रथको राम्रो घोडासित तुलना गर्दछु ।
My darling, to me you're like a mare among Pharaoh's horses that pull his chariots,
10 शृङ्गारले तिम्रा गाला सुन्दर भएका छन्; गर्गहनाले तिम्रो गला सजिएको छ ।
Your beautiful cheeks adorned with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
11 हामी तिम्रो लागि चाँदीको जलप लगाइएका सुनका गहनाहरू बनाउने छौँ । प्रेमिका आफैसित बोल्दैः
Let's make you some gold ornaments inlaid with silver.
12 राजा आफ्नो बिस्तारमा पल्टनुहुँदा मेरो अत्तरले आफ्नो बास्ना फिँजायो ।
As the king lay on his couch, my nard perfume gave off its fragrance.
13 मलाई मेरा प्रेमी मूर्रको थैलीजस्तै लाग्छ जसले मेरा वक्षस्थलका बिचमा रात बिताउनुहुन्छ ।
My love is like a pouch of myrrh, lying all night between my breasts.
14 मलाई मेरा प्रेमी एन-गदीका दाखबारीहरूमा फुलेको मेहदीको झुप्पाजस्तै लाग्छ । प्रेमी प्रेमिकासित बोल्दैः
My love is like a bunch of fragrant henna flowers in the vineyards of Engedi.
15 हे मेरी प्रिय, सुन । तिमी सुन्दरी छ्यौ । सुन, तिमी सुन्दरी छ्यौ । तिम्रा आँखा ढुकुरजस्ता छन् । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
Look at how very beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are as gentle as doves.
16 हे मेरा प्रेमी, सुन्नुहोस् । तपाईं सुन्दर हुनुहुन्छ । हो, तपाईं कति सुन्दर हुनुहुन्छ! हराभरा बिरुवाहरू हाम्रो ओछ्यान हुन् ।
And you, my love, are so handsome—how charming you are! The green grass is our bed,
17 हाम्रो घरका दलिनहरू देवदारूका छन् । छाना सल्लाका छन् ।
with cedar trees as beams for our “house,” and pine trees for the rafters.
