श्रेष्ठगीत 8
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 ।
Oh that you were like my brother, who sucked the breasts of my mother. If I found you outside, I would kiss you; yes, and no one would despise me.
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, bringing you into my mother's house, who would instruct me. I would have you drink 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 would be under my head. His right hand would embrace me.
4 हे यरूशलेमका छोरीहरू हो, म तिमीहरूले वाचा बाँधेको चाहन्छु, कि हाम्रो मायाप्रीति खतम नभएसम्म तिमीहरूले अवरोध नगर्नू । यरूशलेमका स्त्रीहरू बोल्दैः
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires.
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 who comes up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I aroused you. There your mother conceived you. There she was in labor and 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 as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD. (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 can't quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly 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. She has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is to 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 is a wall, we will build on her a turret of silver. If she is 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 I was in his eyes like one who found peace.
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 Baal Hamon. He leased out the vineyard to keepers. Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
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 own vineyard is before me. The thousand are for you, Solomon; two hundred for those who tend its fruit.
13 तिमी बगैँचाहरूमा बस्छ्यौ । मेरा मित्रहरूले तिम्रो सोर सुन्दै छन् । मैले पनि सुन्न पाऊँ । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice.
14 हे मेरा प्रेमी, हतार गर्नुहोस्, र सुगन्धित मसलाले भरिएका पर्वतहरूमा बस्ने हरिण वा जवान मृगजस्तै हुनुहोस् ।
Come away, my beloved. Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
