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 have 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. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, 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 was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness 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 taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
4 मेरा प्रेमीले छेस्किनी खोल्न हात हाल्नुभयो, र मेरो हृदय उहाँको लागि उत्तेजित भयो ।
My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded 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 for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
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 left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t 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 who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away 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, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with 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
How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?
10 मेरा प्रेमी उज्ज्वल र स्वस्थ, दस हजारका बिचमा श्रेष्ठ हुनुहुन्छ ।
My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
11 उहाँको शिर निखुर सुनको छ । उहाँको कपाल घुम्रिएको र कागजस्तै कालो छ ।
His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, 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, mounted like jewels.
13 उहाँका गालाहरू सुगन्धित मसालाहरूको ड्याङजस्ता छन्, जसले बास्ना फिँजाउँछन् ।
His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
14 उहाँका ओठ मूर्रको रस चुहाउने लिली फुलहरूजस्ता छन् ।
His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
15 उहाँका पाखुरा गर्गहना जडिएका गोलो सुनजस्ता छन् । उहाँको पेट नीरले ढाकिएको हस्ती-हाडजस्तो छ ।
His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance 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 sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
