Salme 45
1 Til Sangmesteren; til „Lillierne”; af Koras Børn; en Undervisning; en Sang om Kærlighed.
In my inner being I am stirred by a beautiful message which will be sung to the king. The words of this message will be written with a pen by me, a skilled writer.
2 Mit Hjerte udgyder en god Tale; jeg siger: Mine Idrætter gælde Kongen; min Tunge er en Hurtigskrivers Pen.
[O King], you are the most handsome man in the world, and you always speak [MTY] eloquently, because God has always blessed you.
3 Du er meget dejligere end Menneskens Børn, Ynde er udgydt paa dine Læber, derfor velsignede Gud dig evindelig.
You who are a mighty warrior, put on your sword! You are glorious and majestic.
4 Bind dit Sværd ved din Side, du vældige! i din Majestæt og din Herlighed;
Ride on like a great chief to defend the truth that you speak and the fair decisions that you make! Because you are strong [MTY], you will do awesome deeds.
5 og vær lykkelig i din Herlighed, far frem for Sandhed og Mildhed med Retfærdighed, og din højre Haand skal lære dig forfærdelige Ting.
Your arrows are sharp, and they pierce the hearts of your enemies. Soldiers of many nations will fall dead at your feet.
6 Dine Pile ere skærpede; Folkene skulle falde under dig, Kongens Fjenders Hjerte rammes.
The kingdom [MTY] that God will give to you will remain forever. You rule [MTY] people justly.
7 Gud! din Trone bliver evindelig og altid, dit Riges Spir er Rettens Spir.
You love right actions, and you hate evil actions. Therefore God, your God, has chosen [MTY] you [to be king] and caused you to be happier [MET] than any other king.
8 Du elsker Retfærdighed og hader Ugudelighed; derfor har Gud, din Gud, salvet dig med Glædens Olie fremfor dine Medbrødre.
The perfume of various spices is on your robes. [People] (entertain you/make you happy) in ivory palaces by playing stringed instruments.
9 Alle dine Klæder dufte af Myrra og Aloe og Kasia; du gaar ud af de Elfenbens Paladser fra dem, som have glædet dig.
Among the women who stay near you [EUP] stay are daughters of [other] kings. And at your right hand stands [your bride], the queen, wearing beautiful ornaments of gold that comes from Ophir.
10 Kongedøtre ere iblandt dine Herligheder; Dronningen staar ved din højre Haand i Guld fra Ofir.
[Now I will say something] to your bride: Listen to me carefully [DOU]! Forget the people who live in your home country, forget your relatives!
11 Hør, Datter! og se til og bøj dit Øre og glem dit Folk og din Faders Hus!
Because you are [very], the king will desire [to sleep with] [EUP] you. He is your master, so you must obey him.
12 saa skal Kongen faa Lyst til din Skønhed; thi han er din Herre, og du skal tilbede ham.
The people from Tyre [city] will bring gifts to you; their rich people will try to persuade you to do favors for them.
13 Og Tyrus's Datter skal komme med Skænk og bede ydmygeligt for dit Ansigt: De rige iblandt Folket.
[O king], your bride will be entering the palace wearing beautiful robes made from gold thread.
14 Kongedatteren derinde er aldeles herlig, hendes Klæder ere af Gyldenstykke.
While she is wearing a gown that has many colors, her companions will lead her to you. She will have many other young women who accompany her.
15 Hun føres frem for Kongen i stukne Klæder; Jomfruerne, hendes Veninder, gaa efter hende, de føres ind til dig.
They will be very joyful [DOU] as they are led along to enter your palace.
16 De føres frem med Glæde og Fryd, de komme i Kongens Palads.
Some day, your sons and your grandsons will become kings, just like your ancestors were. You will enable them to become rulers in many countries [HYP].
17 Dine Sønner skulle være i dine Fædres Sted, dem skal du sætte til Fyrster paa den hele Jord. Jeg vil lade dit Navn ihukommes iblandt alle Slægter; derfor skulle Folkene love dig evindelig og altid.
And as for me, I will enable people in every generation to remember the great things that you [MTY] have done, and people will praise you forever.
