श्रेष्ठगीत 2
1 प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः म शारोनको घाँसे मैदानमा उम्रने फुल र बेँसीको लिली हुँ । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
Bride: I am a flower of the open field and a lily of the steep valleys.
2 काँढाहरूका बिचमा फुलेको लिली फुलझैँ मेरी प्रिय युवतीहरूका बिचमा छिन् । प्रेमिका आफैसित बोल्दैः
Groom: Like a lily among the thorns, so is my loved one among the daughters.
3 जङ्गलका रुखहरूमध्ये स्याउको रुखझैँ मेरा प्रेमी युवाहरूका बिचमा हुनुहुन्छ । म उहाँको छायामुनि बडो आनन्दसित पल्टन्छु, र उहाँको फलको स्वाद मलाई मिठो लाग्छ ।
Bride to Chorus: Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat beneath the shadow of the one whom I desired, and his fruit was sweet to my palate.
4 उहाँले मलाई दाखमद्य-गृहमा ल्याउनुभयो, र ममाथि भएको उहाँको झन्डा प्रेम थियो । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
He brought me into the storeroom of wine. He set charity in order within me.
5 मलाई किसमिसको परिकारले सजीव तुल्याउनुहोस्, र स्याउले ताजा बनाउनुहोस्, किनकि म प्रेमले कमजोर भएकी छु । प्रेमिका आफैसित बोल्दैः
Prop me up with flowers. Close me in with apples. For I languish through love.
6 उहाँको देब्रे हात मुरो शिरमूनि छ, र दाहिने हातले मलाई अङ्गालो हाल्छ । प्रेमिका अन्य स्त्रीहरूसित बोल्दैः
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
7 हे यरूशलेमका छोरीहरू हो, मैदानका मुडुली मृग र हरिणहरूको नाउँमा म तिमीहरूसित वाचा बाँध्छु, कि आफूले नचाहेसम्म प्रेमलाई नबिउँझाओ वा नजगाओ । प्रेमिका आफैसित बोल्दैः
Groom to Chorus: I bind you by oath, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the does and the stags of the open field, not to disturb or awaken the beloved, even for as long as she wills.
8 मेरा प्रेमीको सोर सुनिएको छ । सुन, पहाडहरूमा हामफाल्दै र डाँडाहरू छिचोल्दै उहाँ यहाँ आउनुहुन्छ ।
Bride to Chorus: The voice of my beloved! Behold, he arrives leaping along the mountains, jumping across the hills.
9 मेरा प्रेमी हरिण वा जवान मृगजस्तै हुनुहुन्छ । हेर, उहाँ हाम्रो पर्खालको पछाडिपट्टि उभिरहनुभएको छ । उहाँले झ्यालभित्र नियालेर हेर्दै हुनुहुन्छ र आँखी-झ्यालभित्र चियाएर हेर्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।
My beloved is like a doe and like a young stag. Lo, he stands beyond our wall, gazing through the windows, watching through the lattices.
10 मेरा प्रेमी मसित बोल्नुभयो र उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “हे मेरी प्रिय, उठ । हे मेरी सुन्दरी, मसित आऊ ।
Lo, my beloved speaks to me: Groom to Bride: Rise up, quickly, my love, my dove, my shapely one, and advance.
11 हेर, हिउँद बितिसकेको छ; वर्षा पनि सकिएर गयो ।
For winter has now past; the rain has decreased and gone away.
12 पृथ्वीमा फुलहरू देखा परेका छन् । छिँवल्ने र चराचुरुङ्गीहरूले गीत गाउने समय आएको छ, अनि हाम्रो देशमा ढुकुरहरूको सोर सुनिएको छ ।
The flowers have appeared in our land; the time for pruning has arrived. The voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
13 अञ्जीरका बोटमा अञ्जीरका हरिया दाना लागिसकेका छन् र दाखहरूको मुजुरा लागेका छन् । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बास्ना फिँजाउँछन् । हे मेरी प्रिय, मेरी सुन्दरी, उठेर आऊ ।
The fig tree has brought forth its green figs; the flowering vines bestow their odor. Rise up, my love, my brilliant one, and advance.
14 पहराका धाँदाहरू, भिरालो पहाडका गुप्त चिराहरूमा बस्ने मेरी ढुकुर्नी, मलाई तिम्रो मुहार हेर्न देऊ । मलाई तिम्रो सोर सुन्न देऊ, किनकि तिम्रो सोर सुरिलो छ, र तिम्रो मुहार मायालु छ ।” प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollows of the wall, reveal to me your face. Let your voice sound in my ears. For your voice is sweet, and your face is graceful.
15 हाम्रा लागि फ्याउराहरू समात्नुहोस्, ससाना फ्याउराहरू जसले दाखबारि नष्ट पार्छन्, किनकि हाम्रो दाखबारीमा मुजुरा लागेको छ ।
Chorus to Groom and Bride: Capture for us the little foxes, which are tearing down the vines; for our vineyard has flourished.
16 मेरा प्रेमी मेरै हुनुहुन्छ, र म उहाँकी हुँ । उहाँ प्रसन्न हुँदै लिली फुलहरूका बिचमा घुमेर हिँड्नुहुन्छ । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
Bride to Chorus: My beloved is for me, and I am for him. He pastures among the lilies,
17 हे मेरा प्रेमी, प्रभातको मन्द हावा चल्नुअगि र छाया भाग्नुअगि नै जानुहोस्, गइहाल्नुहोस् । भिराला पहाडहरूमा हरिण वा जवान मृगझैँ हुनुहोस् ।
until the day rises and the shadows decline. Bride to Groom: Return, O my beloved. Be like a doe and like a young stag upon the mountains of Bether.
