اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 45

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «ٱلسُّوسَنِّ». لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. قَصِيدَةٌ. تَرْنِيمَةُ مَحَبَّةٍ فَاضَ قَلْبِي بِكَلَامٍ صَالِحٍ. مُتَكَلِّمٌ أَنَا بِإِنْشَائِي لِلْمَلِكِ. لِسَانِي قَلَمُ كَاتِبٍ مَاهِرٍ.

To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; — a song of the Beloved. My heart is welling forth [with] a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

٢ 2 أَنْتَ أَبْرَعُ جَمَالًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ. ٱنْسَكَبَتِ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ عَلَى شَفَتَيْكَ، لِذَلِكَ بَارَكَكَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

٣ 3 تَقَلَّدْ سَيْفَكَ عَلَى فَخْذِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَّارُ، جَلَالَكَ وَبَهَاءَكَ.

Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O mighty one, [in] thy majesty and thy splendour;

٤ 4 وَبِجَلَالِكَ ٱقْتَحِمِ. ٱرْكَبْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلدَّعَةِ وَٱلْبِرِّ، فَتُرِيَكَ يَمِينُكَ مَخَاوِفَ.

And [in] thy splendour ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

٥ 5 نَبْلُكَ ٱلْمَسْنُونَةُ فِي قَلْبِ أَعْدَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. شُعُوبٌ تَحْتَكَ يَسْقُطُونَ.

Thine arrows are sharp — peoples fall under thee — in the heart of the king's enemies.

٦ 6 كُرْسِيُّكَ يَا ٱللهُ إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ. قَضِيبُ ٱسْتِقَامَةٍ قَضِيبُ مُلْكِكَ.

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom:

٧ 7 أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلْبِرَّ وَأَبْغَضْتَ ٱلْإِثْمَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ مَسَحَكَ ٱللهُ إِلَهُكَ بِدُهْنِ ٱلِٱبْتِهَاجِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ رُفَقَائِكَ.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

٨ 8 كُلُّ ثِيَابِكَ مُرٌّ وَعُودٌ وَسَلِيخَةٌ. مِنْ قُصُورِ ٱلْعَاجِ سَرَّتْكَ ٱلْأَوْتَارُ.

Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

٩ 9 بَنَاتُ مُلُوكٍ بَيْنَ حَظِيَّاتِكَ. جُعِلَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَةُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ بِذَهَبِ أُوفِيرٍ.

Kings' daughters are among thine honourable women; upon thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

١٠ 10 اِسْمَعِي يَا بِنْتُ وَٱنْظُرِي، وَأَمِيلِي أُذُنَكِ، وَٱنْسَيْ شَعْبَكِ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكِ،

Hearken, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own people and thy father's house:

١١ 11 فَيَشْتَهِيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ حُسْنَكِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ سَيِّدُكِ فَٱسْجُدِي لَهُ.

And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.

١٢ 12 وَبِنْتُ صُورٍ أَغْنَى ٱلشُّعُوبِ تَتَرَضَّى وَجْهَكِ بِهَدِيَّةٍ.

And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court thy favour.

١٣ 13 كُلُّهَا مَجْدٌ ٱبْنَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي خِدْرِهَا. مَنْسُوجَةٌ بِذَهَبٍ مَلَابِسُهَا.

All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold:

١٤ 14 بِمَلَابِسَ مُطَرَّزَةٍ تُحْضَرُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ. في إِثْرِهَا عَذَارَى صَاحِبَاتُهَا. مُقَدَّمَاتٌ إِلَيْكَ.

She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto thee:

١٥ 15 يُحْضَرْنَ بِفَرَحٍ وَٱبْتِهَاجٍ. يَدْخُلْنَ إِلَى قَصْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king's palace.

١٦ 16 عِوَضًا عَنْ آبَائِكَ يَكُونُ بَنُوكَ، تُقِيمُهُمْ رُؤَسَاءَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons; princes shalt thou make them in all the earth.

١٧ 17 أَذْكُرُ ٱسْمَكَ فِي كُلِّ دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ تَحْمَدُكَ ٱلشُّعُوبُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
