< श्रेष्ठगीत 4 >
1 प्रेमी प्रेमिकासित बोल्दैः हे मेरी प्रिय, तिमी सुन्दरी छ्यौ । तिमी सुन्दरी छ्यौ । घुम्टोभित्र लुकेका तिम्रा आँखा ढुकुरजस्ता छन् । तिम्रो कपाल गिलाद पहाडबाट झरिरहेका बाख्राहरूको बगालजस्तो छ ।
Behold, thou art beautiful, my beloved, behold, thou art beautiful: thy dovelike eyes [look forth] from behind thy vail; thy hair is like a flock of goats, that come quietly down from Mount Gil'ad.
2 तिम्रा दाँत भरखरै कत्रेका, नुहाउने ठाउँबाट आएका भेडीहरूको बथानजस्तै छन् । हरेकको जुम्ल्याहा छ, र तिनीहरूका बिचमा कोही पनि एकलो छैन ।
Thy teeth are like a flock of well-selected sheep, which are come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and there is not one among them that is deprived of her young.
3 तिम्रा ओठ सिन्दुरे रङको धागोजस्ता राता छन् । तिम्रो मुख मायालु छ । तिम्रा गालाहरू घुम्टोभित्रका दुई फ्याक परेका दारिमहरूजस्ता छन् ।
Like a thread of scarlet are thy lips, and thy mouth is comely: like the half of a pomegranate is the upper part of thy cheek behind thy vail.
4 तिम्रो घाँटी सिपाहीहरूका एक हजार ढाल झुण्ड्याइएको, पत्थरहरूको लहरमा निर्मित दाऊदको धरहराजस्तो छ ।
Thy neck is like the tower of David built on terraces, a thousand shields hang-thereon, all the quivers of the mighty men.
5 तिम्रा दुई स्तन दुईवटा पाठाजस्ता छन्, लिलीहरूको बिचमा चर्ने हरिणका जुम्ल्याहा पाठाजस्ता छन् ।
Thy two breasts are like two fawns, the twins of the roe, that feed among the lilies.
6 बिहान भएर छाया नभागेसम्म म मूर्रको पहाड र धूपको डाँडामा उक्लने छु ।
Until the day became cool, and the shadows flee away, will I get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7 हे मेरी प्रिय, तिमी हर क्षेत्रमा सुन्दरी छ्यौ, र तिमीमा कुनै खोट छैन ।
Thou art altogether beautiful, my beloved, and there is no blemish on thee.—
8 हे मेरी दुलही, लेबनानबाट आऊ । लेबनानबाट मसितै आऊ । अमानाको टाकुराबाट ओर्लेर आऊ; सेनीर र हेर्मोनको टाकुराबाट, सिंहहरूको ओडार र चितुवाहरूका पहाडी अखडाबाट आऊ ।
Come with me from Lebanon, O bride, with me from Lebanon: look about from the top of Amanah, from the top of Senir and Chermon, from the lions' dens, from the leopards' mountains.
9 हे मेरी बहिनी, मेरी दुलही, तिमीले मेरो हृदय चोरेकी छौ । एकै नजरले, तिम्रो हारको रत्नले तिमीले मेरो हृदय चोरेकी छौ ।
Thou hast ravished my heart, O my sister, [my] bride; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thy eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
10 हे मेरी बहिनी, मेरी दुलही, तिम्रो प्रेम कति सुन्दर छ! तिम्रो प्रेम दाखमद्यभन्दा कति असल छ! कुनै पनि मसलाभन्दा तिम्रो अत्तरको बास्ना सुगन्धित छ ।
How beautiful are thy caresses, O my sister, [my] bride! how much more pleasant are thy caresses than wine! and the smell of thy fragrant oils more than all spices.
11 हे मेरी दुलही, तिम्रा ओठले मह चुहाउँछन् । मह र दूध तिम्रो जिब्रोमूनि छन् । तिम्रो लुगाको बास्ना लेबनानको बास्नाझैँ छ ।
Of sweet honey drop thy lips, O bride: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the scent of thy garments is like the scent of Lebanon.
12 हे मेरी बहिनी, मेरी दुलही बन्द गरिएको बगैँचाझैँ, छोपिएको फुहाराझैँ छिन् ।
A locked-up garden is my sister, [my] bride; a locked-up spring, a sealed fountain.
13 तिम्रा हाँगाहरू उत्तम फल फलाउने अनारका रुखहरू, मेहदी र जटामसीको कुञ्जझैँ,
Thy sprouts are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits, copher and spikenard;
14 जटामसी र केशर, बोझो र दालचिनीसाथै हर किसिमका मसलाहरू, मूर्र र एलावासाथै हर किसिमका सुगन्धित मसलाहरूको कुञ्जझैँ छन् ।
Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all the trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief of spices;
15 तिमी त बगैँचाको फुहारा, ताजा पानीको इनार, लेबनानबाट बहने खोलाहरू हौ । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
A garden-spring, a well of living waters, and flowing down from Lebanon.—
16 ए उत्तरी बतास, बिउँझी । ए दक्षिणी बतास, आइज । मेरो बगैँचाका मसलाहरूले आ-आफ्ना सुगन्ध फैलाउन सकून् भनेर यहाँबाट बह । मेरा प्रेमी उहाँको बगैँचामा आऊन्, र उसका उत्तम फलहरू खाऊन् ।
Awake, O north wind; and come thou, O south; blow over my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my friend come into his garden, and eat its precious fruits.—
