1 प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः तपाईं मेरी आमाको स्तन चुसेर हुर्कनुभएका मेरा दाजुजस्तै हुनुभए त, मैले तपाईंलाई जहिलेसुकै बाहिर भेट्दा तपाईंलाई चुम्बन गर्नेथिएँ, र कसैले मलाई तुच्छ ठान्‍नेथिएन ।
O that you were as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find you without, I would kiss you; yes, I should not be despised.
2 मैले तपाईंलाई अगुवाइ गरी मेरी आमाको घरमा लैजानेथिएँ, जसले मलाई सिकाउनुभयो । मैले तपाईंलाई पिउनलाई मसलायुक्त दाखमद्य र मेरा दारिमका रस दिनेथिएँ । प्रेमिका आफूसित बोल्दैः
I would lead you, and bring you into my mother’s house, who would instruct me: I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3 उहाँको देब्रे हात मेरो शिरमूनि छ, र उहाँको दाहिने हातले मलाई अङ्गालो हाल्छ । प्रेमिका अरू स्‍त्रीहरूसित बोल्दैः
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4 हे यरूशलेमका छोरीहरू हो, म तिमीहरूले वाचा बाँधेको चाहन्छु, कि हाम्रो मायाप्रीति खतम नभएसम्म तिमीहरूले अवरोध नगर्नू । यरूशलेमका स्‍त्रीहरू बोल्दैः
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
5 आफ्ना प्रेमीसित अडेस लाग्दै उजाड-स्थानबाट आउँदै गरेको को हो? प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः मैले तपाईंलाई स्याउको रुखमूनि ब्युँझाएँ । त्यहाँ तपाईंकी आमाले तपाईंलाई गर्भधारण गर्नुभयो । त्यहाँ उहाँलाई सुत्केरी बेथा लाग्यो र तपाईंलाई जन्म दिनुभयो ।
Who is this that comes up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I raised you up under the apple tree: there your mother brought you forth: there she brought you forth that bore you.
6 मलाई तपाईंको हृदय र तपाईंको पाखुरामा एउटा छापजस्तै गरी लगाउनुहोस्, किनकि प्रेम मृत्युजत्तिकै प्रबल हुन्छ । जोसिको भक्ति पातालजत्तिकै निष्‍ठुर हुन्छ । यसको ज्वाला दन्कन्छ । यो दन्कने आगो हो । यो कुनै पनि आगोभन्दा तातो हुन्छ । (Sheol h7585)
Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which has a most vehement flame. (Sheol h7585)
7 उर्लंदो पानीको भेलले प्रेमलाई मेट्न सक्दैन, न त बाढीले यसलाई बगाउन सक्छ । कुनै मानिसले प्रेमको लागि आफ्नो घरको सारा सम्पत्ति दिए तापनि त्यस प्रस्तावलाई बिल्कुलै तुच्छ ठानिन्थ्यो । प्रेमिकाका दाजुहरू आफ्नै बिचमा बोल्दैः
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be scorned.
8 हाम्री एउटी सानी बहिनी छिन्, र तिनका स्तनहरू बढिसकेका छैनन् । हाम्री बहिनीलाई विवाहको प्रतिज्ञा गरिएको दिनमा हामी उनको लागि के गर्न सक्छौँ?
We have a little sister, and she has no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9 उनी पर्खाल भइदिएको भए, हामी उनीमाथि चाँदीको एउटा धरहरा बनाउनेथियौँ । उनी ढोका भइदिएको भए, हामी उनलाई देवदारुका फल्याकहरूले सजाउनेथियौँ । प्रेमिका आफूसित बोल्दैः
If she be a wall, we will build on her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10 म एक पर्खाल थिएँ, तर मेरा स्तनहरू अहिले किल्लाका धरहरूजस्तै छन् । त्यसैले म उहाँको दृष्‍टिमा सन्तुष्‍ट ल्याउने व्यक्ति भएकी छु । प्रेमिका आफूसित बोल्दैः
I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favor.
11 बाल-हामोनमा सोलोमनको एउटा दाखबारी थियो । त्यसको रेखदेख गर्न सक्‍नेहरूलाई उहाँले त्यो दाखबारी अधियाँमा दिनुभयो । हरेकले फलफुलको सट्टा एक हजार चाँदीका सिक्‍का ल्याउनुपर्थ्यो ।
Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
12 मेरो आफ्नै दाखबारी मेरै सामु छ । हे सोलोमन, ती एक हजार सिक्‍का त तपाईंकै निम्ति हुन्, र दुई सय सिक्‍का यसको फलफुल हुर्काउनेका निम्ति हुन् । प्रेमी प्रेमिकासित बोल्दैः
My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
13 तिमी बगैँचाहरूमा बस्छ्यौ । मेरा मित्रहरूले तिम्रो सोर सुन्दै छन् । मैले पनि सुन्‍न पाऊँ । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
You that dwell in the gardens, the companions listen to your voice: cause me to hear it.
14 हे मेरा प्रेमी, हतार गर्नुहोस्, र सुगन्धित मसलाले भरिएका पर्वतहरूमा बस्‍ने हरिण वा जवान मृगजस्तै हुनुहोस् ।
Make haste, my beloved, and be you like to a roe or to a young hart on the mountains of spices.
