Psalms 45

1 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ljiljani”. Sinova Korahovih. Poučna pjesma. Svadbena pjesma. Iz srca mi naviru riječi divne: pjesmu svoju ja kralju pjevam, jezik mi je k'o pisaljka hitra pisara.

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

Lijep si, najljepši od ljudskih sinova, po usnama ti se milina prosula, stoga te Bog blagoslovio dovijeka.

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.

Pripaši mač uz bedra, junače, ogrni se sjajem i veličanstvom!

4 And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Zajaši i kreni za istinu, za vjernost i pravdu, zapni luk i desnicu svoju proslavi!

5 Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; [They are] in the heart of the king’s enemies.

Oštre su strelice tvoje, narodi padaju pred tobom i kraljeve dušmane ostavlja hrabrost.

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Prijestolje je tvoje, Bože, u vijeke vjekova, i pravedno žezlo - žezlo je tvog kraljevstva!

7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Ti ljubiš pravednost, a mrziš bezakonje, stoga Jahve, Bog tvoj, tebe pomaza uljem radosti kao nikog od tvojih drugova.

8 All thy garments [smell of] myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

Smirnom, alojem i kasijom mirišu ti haljine, iz dvorova bjelokosnih harfe te vesele.

9 Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

Kraljevske ti kćeri idu u susret, zdesna ti je kraljica u zlatu ofirskom.

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house:

“Slušaj, kćeri, pogledaj, prisluhni: zaboravi svoj narod i dom oca svog!

11 So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

Zaželi li kralj ljepotu tvoju, smjerno se pokloni njemu jer je on gospodar tvoj.

12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

Narod tirski dolazi s darovima, naklonost tvoju traže prvaci naroda.”

13 The king’s daughter within [the palace] is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

Sva lijepa korača kći kraljeva u haljinama zlatom vezenim.

14 She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

U haljini od veza šarena kralju je dovode, pratnja su joj djevice, druge njezine.

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king’s palace.

S veseljem ih vode i s klicanjem u kraljeve dvore ulaze.

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

Oce tvoje naslijedit će tvoji sinovi, postavit ćeš ih knezovima na svoj zemlji.

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.

Iz koljena u koljeno naviještat će ime tvoje, hvalit će te narodi u vijeke vjekova.
