Psalms 45

1 To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; — a song of the Beloved. My heart is welling forth [with] a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready 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 fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath 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 majesty and thy splendour;

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 [in] thy splendour ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

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 Thine arrows are sharp — peoples fall under thee — 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; a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom:

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 wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

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 aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

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 Kings' daughters are among thine honourable women; upon thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

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 Hearken, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own 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 And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.

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 with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court 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 glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold:

公主穿戴齊備，姍姍來迎，她的衣服全是金絲繡成。

14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto 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 With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king's palace.

在歡樂歌舞聲中，一齊進入了王宮。

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons; princes shalt thou make them in 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 I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.

我要使你的名永垂不朽；萬民將歌頌你至永久。
