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.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Njengengoma ethi “Izimbali.” Ihubo lamaDodana kaKhora. Ingoma yomtshado. Inhliziyo yami iyagubhazela ngendaba enkulu nxa ngivuma inkondlo yami ngiyihayela inkosi; ulimi lwami lusiba lomlobi ololwazi.
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.
Uyilikhwa lamakhwa emadodeni wonke lezindebe zakho ziconjwe kuhle ngobunono, njengalokhu uNkulunkulu ekubusisile lanininini.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O Mighty One, in thy comeliness, and in thy beauty;
Hloma inkemba yakho okhalweni, wena omkhulu; zembathise ngokukhazimula langobukhosi.
4 and bend [thy bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.
Usebukhosini bakho khwela enqoleni ulokunqoba umele iqiniso lokuzithoba lokulunga; akuthi isandla sakho sokunene senze izimanga.
5 Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under thee) [they are] in the heart of the king's enemies.
Akuthi imitshoko yakho ecijileyo icibe inhliziyo zezitha zenkosi; akuthi izizwe ziwe ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakho.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.
Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, Oh Nkulunkulu, sizakuma nini lanini; intonga yokwahlulela okulungileyo izakuba yintonga yombuso wakho.
7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.
Uyakuthanda ukulunga njalo uyabuzonda ububi; ngakho uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho usekubeke ngaphezu kwabakhula bakho ngokukugcoba ngamafutha entokozo.
8 Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia [are exhaled] from thy garments, [and] out of the ivory palaces,
Zonke izembatho zakho ziqholiwe ngemure, langenhlaba langekhasiya; ezigodlweni eziceciswe ngempondo zendlovu kuqhamuka inhlokomo yeziginci ekuthokozisayo.
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.
Amadodakazi amakhosi akhona kanye labanye abesifazane abahloniphekayo; kwesokunene sakho ngumlobokazi wesikhosini oceciswe ngegolide lase-Ofiri.
10 Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; forget also thy people, and thy father's house.
Lalela, ndodakazi, nanzelela uvule indlebe; khohlwa abakini, lendlu yakwenu.
11 Because the king has desired thy beauty; for he is thy Lord.
Inkosi iyaphelelwa ngobuhle bakho; yihloniphe, ngoba iyinkosi yakho.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy favour.
Indodakazi yaseThire izakuza lesipho, amadoda anothileyo azazincengela kuwe.
13 All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed [as she is] in golden fringed garments,
Ngaphakathi exhibeni layo inkosazana yibucwazicwazi; isembatho sayo sicecisiwe ngegolide.
14 in embroidered [clothing]: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to thee.
Isiwa enkosini yembethe izivunulo ezelukiweyo; abakhaphi bayo bayayilandela balethwe kuwe.
15 They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.
Bangeniswa lapho ngentokozo lenjabulo; bangena esigodlweni senkosi.
16 Instead of thy fathers children are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
Amadodana enu azathatha isikhundla saboyihlo; lizawenza abe ngamakhosana elizweni lonke.
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.
Ibizo lakho ngizalenza likhunjulwe kokuphela yizizukulwane zonke; yikho-ke izizwe zizakudumisa nini lanini.
