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 thou hadst been a very brother to me, who had sucked the breasts of my own mother, —Had I found thee without, I had kissed thee, Yea, folk would not have despised 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 have guided thee—brought thee into the house of my mother, Thou wouldst have instructed me, —I would have let thee drink of spiced wine, of the pressed-out 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 under my head, then, his right hand, embraceth me.
4 हे यरूशलेमका छोरीहरू हो, म तिमीहरूले वाचा बाँधेको चाहन्छु, कि हाम्रो मायाप्रीति खतम नभएसम्म तिमीहरूले अवरोध नगर्नू । यरूशलेमका स्त्रीहरू बोल्दैः
I [HE] adjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, —Why will ye wake, and why will ye arouse the dear love until she 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 ।
[THEY] Who is this, coming up out of the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? [HE] Under the apple-tree, I roused thee, where thy mother, was in pain with thee, where she was in pain who gave thee birth!
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)
[SHE] Set me as a seal, upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm, For, mighty as death, is love, Exacting as hades, is jealousy, —The flames thereof, are flames of fire, The flash of Yah! (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, nor shall, floods, overwhelm it, —If a man would give all the substance of his house, for love, they would, utterly despise, him.
8 हाम्री एउटी सानी बहिनी छिन्, र तिनका स्तनहरू बढिसकेका छैनन् । हाम्री बहिनीलाई विवाहको प्रतिज्ञा गरिएको दिनमा हामी उनको लागि के गर्न सक्छौँ?
[THEY] A sister, have we, a little one, and, breasts, hath she none, What shall we do for our sister, in the day when she may 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, a wall, she is, we will build upon it a battlement of silver, —but if, a door, she is, we will close it up with a plank 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
[SHE] I, was a wall, and, my breasts, like towers, —Then, became I, in his eyes, one who did indeed find good content.
11 बाल-हामोनमा सोलोमनको एउटा दाखबारी थियो । त्यसको रेखदेख गर्न सक्नेहरूलाई उहाँले त्यो दाखबारी अधियाँमा दिनुभयो । हरेकले फलफुलको सट्टा एक हजार चाँदीका सिक्का ल्याउनुपर्थ्यो ।
A vineyard, had Solomon, as the owner of abundance, He put out the vineyard to keepers, —Every man, was to bring in, for the fruit thereof, a thousand silverlings:
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
Mine own vineyard, is before me, —The thousand belong to thee, O Solomon, and two hundred to the keepers of the fruit thereof.
13 तिमी बगैँचाहरूमा बस्छ्यौ । मेरा मित्रहरूले तिम्रो सोर सुन्दै छन् । मैले पनि सुन्न पाऊँ । प्रेमिका प्रेमीसित बोल्दैः
[HE] O thou fair dweller in the gardens, the companions are giving heed to thy voice, Let me hear it.
14 हे मेरा प्रेमी, हतार गर्नुहोस्, र सुगन्धित मसलाले भरिएका पर्वतहरूमा बस्ने हरिण वा जवान मृगजस्तै हुनुहोस् ।
[SHE] Come quickly, my beloved, and resemble thou a gazelle, or a young stag, upon the mountains of balsam-trees.
