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.
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 more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on thy lips: therefore God has 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, in thy comeliness, and in thy beauty;
Pripaši mač uz bedra, junače, ogrni se sjajem i veličanstvom!
4 and bend [thy bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.
Zajaši i kreni za istinu, za vjernost i pravdu, zapni luk i desnicu svoju proslavi!
5 Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall 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: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.
Prijestolje je tvoje, Bože, u vijeke vjekova, i pravedno žezlo - žezlo je tvog kraljevstva!
7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.
Ti ljubiš pravednost, a mrziš bezakonje, stoga Jahve, Bog tvoj, tebe pomaza uljem radosti kao nikog od tvojih drugova.
8 Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia [are exhaled] from thy garments, [and] out of the ivory palaces,
Smirnom, alojem i kasijom mirišu ti haljine, iz dvorova bjelokosnih harfe te vesele.
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.
Kraljevske ti kćeri idu u susret, zdesna ti je kraljica u zlatu ofirskom.
10 Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; forget also thy people, and thy father's house.
“Slušaj, kćeri, pogledaj, prisluhni: zaboravi svoj narod i dom oca svog!
11 Because the king has desired thy beauty; for he is thy Lord.
Zaželi li kralj ljepotu tvoju, smjerno se pokloni njemu jer je on gospodar tvoj.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy favour.
Narod tirski dolazi s darovima, naklonost tvoju traže prvaci naroda.”
13 All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed [as she is] in golden fringed garments,
Sva lijepa korača kći kraljeva u haljinama zlatom vezenim.
14 in embroidered [clothing]: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to thee.
U haljini od veza šarena kralju je dovode, pratnja su joj djevice, druge njezine.
15 They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.
S veseljem ih vode i s klicanjem u kraljeve dvore ulaze.
16 Instead of thy fathers children are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
Oce tvoje naslijedit će tvoji sinovi, postavit ćeš ih knezovima na svoj zemlji.
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.
Iz koljena u koljeno naviještat će ime tvoje, hvalit će te narodi u vijeke vjekova.
