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 him that excelleth on Shoshannim a song of love to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. Mine heart will vtter forth a good matter: I wil intreat in my workes of the King: my tongue is as the pen of a swift writer.

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

Thou art fayrer then the children of men: grace is powred in thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for euer.

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

Gird thy sword vpon thy thigh, O most mightie, to wit, thy worship and thy glory,

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

And prosper with thy glory: ride vpon the worde of trueth and of meekenes and of righteousnes: so thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

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

Thine arrowes are sharpe to pearce the heart of the Kings enemies: therefore the people shall fall vnder thee.

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

Thy throne, O God, is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnesse.

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

Thou louest righteousnes, and hatest wickednesse, because God, euen thy God hath anoynted thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.

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

All thy garments smelll of myrrhe and aloes, and cassia, when thou commest out of the yuorie palaces, where they haue made thee glad.

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

Kings daugthers were among thine honorable wiues: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in a vesture of golde of Ophir.

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

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine eare: forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house.

The Kings daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of broydred golde.

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

She shalbe brought vnto the King in raiment of needle worke: the virgins that follow after her, and her companions shall be brought vnto thee.
