Psalms 45

1 For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.

科辣黑後裔的訓誨歌，交與樂官。 我的心靈湧溢優雅的言辭，向我君王傾吐我的讚美詩；我舌好像書寫流利的妙筆。

2 Thou art more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on thy lips: therefore God has blessed thee for ever.

你在世人中最為美麗，你口中流著慈惠，因此天主永遠祝福你。

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O Mighty One, in thy comeliness, and in thy beauty;

英雄！請在腰間佩帶你的刀劍，就是佩帶上你的榮耀和威嚴。

4 and bend [thy bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.

願你為了信實和正義驅駕順利，願你的右手指導你驚人的奇事!

5 Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under thee) [they are] in the heart of the king's enemies.

萬民必因你的銳箭屈服於你，君王的眾仇敵必要膽破心悸。

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

上主! 你的御座永遠常存，你治國的權杖無比公允。

7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.

你愛護正義，你又憎恨罪辜：為這個緣故，你的天主，以喜油傅你，勝過你的伴侶。

8 Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia [are exhaled] from thy garments, [and] out of the ivory palaces,

你的衣冠散布沒藥、沉香、與肉桂的芬芳。由象牙宮中奏出絃樂的聲音，使你歡暢；

9 with which kings' daughters have gladdened thee for thine honour: the queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, [and] arrayed in divers colours.

列王的公主都成群結隊前來歡迎你，王后佩帶敖非爾金飾，在你右邊侍立。

10 Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; forget also thy people, and thy father's house.

女兒！請聽，請看，也請側耳細聽：忘卻你的民族和你的家庭！

11 Because the king has desired thy beauty; for he is thy Lord.

因為君王戀慕你的美艷雅麗，祂是你主，你應向祂俯道至地！

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy favour.

提洛的女兒都前來奉獻禮品，民間的顯要都想得你的歡心。

13 All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed [as she is] in golden fringed garments,

公主穿戴齊備，姍姍來迎，她的衣服全是金絲繡成。

14 in embroidered [clothing]: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to thee.

她身穿繡衣華服，被弔到君王面前，成群的童女陪伴著她，也到你身邊：

15 They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.

在歡樂歌舞聲中，一齊進入了王宮。

16 Instead of thy fathers children are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.

你的子孫要承嗣你的先祖；立他們為王，統治普天率土。

17 They shall make mention of thy name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to thee for ever, even for ever and ever.

我要使你的名永垂不朽；萬民將歌頌你至永久。
