श्रेष्ठगीत 5
1 प्रेमी प्रेमिकासित बोल्दैः हे मेरी बहिनी, मेरी दुलही, म मेरो बगैँचामा आएको छु । आफ्नो सुगन्धित मसालासँगै मैले मेरो मूर्र जम्मा गरेको छु । मैले आफ्नो महसँगै महको चाका खाएको छु । मैले आफ्नो दूधसँगै मेरो दाखमद्य पिएको छु । मित्रहरू प्रेमी र प्रेमिकासित बोल्दैः हे मित्रहरू हो, खाओ । पिओ र प्रेमले मात । प्रेमिका आफैसित बोल्दैः
I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] bride: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2 म सुतेँ, तर मेरो हृदय जागै थियो । मेरा प्रेमीले ढकढक्याइरहेको आवाज आउँदै छ, “हे मेरी बहिनी, मेरी प्रिय, मेरी शुद्ध ढुकुर्नी, ढोका खोल, किनकि मेरो शिर शीतले र मेरो कपाल रातको चिसोले भिजेको छ ।”
I was asleep, but my heart waked: It is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, [saying], Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.
3 “मैले मेरो लुगा फुकालेको छु । के मैले यसलाई फेरि लगाउने? मैले मेरो खुट्टा धोएको छु । के मैले यसलाई फेरि फोहोर बनाउने?”
I have put off my garment; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
4 मेरा प्रेमीले छेस्किनी खोल्न हात हाल्नुभयो, र मेरो हृदय उहाँको लागि उत्तेजित भयो ।
My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door], And my heart was moved for him.
5 मेरा प्रेमीको लागि ढोका खोल्न म उठेँ । मेरा हातहरूबाट मूर्र चुहुँदै थियो, र मेरा औँलाहरूबाट ढोकाको ताल्चामा गिलो मूर्र चुहुँदै थियो ।
I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands dropped with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the bolt.
6 मैले मेरा प्रेमीको लागि ढोका खोलेँ, तर मेरा प्रेमी फर्केर गइसक्नुभएको रहेछ । उहाँ बोल्नुहुँदा मेरो हृदय शोकित भयो । मैले उहाँको खोजी गरेँ, तर मैले उहाँलाई भेट्टाइनँ । मैले उहाँलाई डाकेँ, तर उहाँले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभएन ।
I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 पहरेदारहरू सहरमा घुम्दा तिनीहरूले मलाई भेट्टाए । तिनीहरूले मलाई प्रहार गरी चोटै-चोट पारे । पर्खालमाथि भएका पहरेदारहरूले मेरो खास्टो पनि खोसेर लगे । प्रेमिका सहरका स्त्रीहरूसित बोल्दैः
The watchmen that go about the city found me, They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my mantle from me.
8 हे यरूशलेमका छोरीहरू हो, म तिमीहरूसित वाचा बाँध्छु, कि तिमीहरूले मेरा प्रेमीलाई भेट्टायौ भने तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई के भन्ने छौ? म प्रेमले बिरामी परेकी छु भनी बताइदिनू । सहरका स्त्रीहरू प्रेमिकासित बोल्दैः
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved, That ye tell him, that I am sick from love.
9 हे स्त्रीहरूमध्ये असाध्यै सुन्दरी, अर्को प्रिय पुरुषभन्दा तपाईंका प्रेमी कसरी उत्तम छन्? अर्को प्रिय पुरुषभन्दा तपाईंको प्रेमी किन उत्तम छन्, ताकि तिमी हामीलाई यस्तो शपथ खान लगाउँछ्यौ? प्रेमिका सहरका स्त्रीहरूसित बोल्दैः
What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, That thou dost so adjure us?
10 मेरा प्रेमी उज्ज्वल र स्वस्थ, दस हजारका बिचमा श्रेष्ठ हुनुहुन्छ ।
My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand.
11 उहाँको शिर निखुर सुनको छ । उहाँको कपाल घुम्रिएको र कागजस्तै कालो छ ।
His head is [as] the most fine gold; His locks are bushy, [and] black as a raven.
12 उहाँका आँखा पानीको खोलाको छेउमा बस्ने ढुकुरहरूजस्ता छन्, दूधले नुहाएको, गर्गहना जडिएका जस्ता छन् ।
His eyes are like doves beside the water-brooks, Washed with milk, [and] fitly set.
13 उहाँका गालाहरू सुगन्धित मसालाहरूको ड्याङजस्ता छन्, जसले बास्ना फिँजाउँछन् ।
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, [As] banks of sweet herbs: His lips are [as] lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
14 उहाँका ओठ मूर्रको रस चुहाउने लिली फुलहरूजस्ता छन् ।
His hands are [as] rings of gold set with beryl: His body is [as] ivory work overlaid [with] sapphires.
15 उहाँका पाखुरा गर्गहना जडिएका गोलो सुनजस्ता छन् । उहाँको पेट नीरले ढाकिएको हस्ती-हाडजस्तो छ ।
His legs are [as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: His aspect is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 उहाँका गोडाहरू निखुर सुनका अड्याइएका सिङ्गमरमरका खम्बाहरूजस्ता छन् । उहाँको आकार लेबनानजस्तै, उत्तम देवदारुजस्तै छ । उहाँको मुख ज्यादै मिठो छ । उहाँ पूर्ण रूपमा मायालु हुनुहुन्छ । हे यरूशलेमका छोरीहरू हो, उहाँ नै मेरा प्रेमी हुनुहुन्छ, र मेरा मित्र हुनुहुन्छ ।
His mouth is most sweet; Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
