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.
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 sons 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, [in] thy majesty and thy splendour;
Pripaši mač uz bedra, junače, ogrni se sjajem i veličanstvom!
4 And [in] thy splendour ride 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 — peoples fall under thee — 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 uprightness 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 companions.
Ti ljubiš pravednost, a mrziš bezakonje, stoga Jahve, Bog tvoj, tebe pomaza uljem radosti kao nikog od tvojih drugova.
8 Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; 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 thine honourable women; upon 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, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own people and thy father's house:
“Slušaj, kćeri, pogledaj, prisluhni: zaboravi svoj narod i dom oca svog!
11 And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.
Zaželi li kralj ljepotu tvoju, smjerno se pokloni njemu jer je on gospodar tvoj.
12 And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court thy favour.
Narod tirski dolazi s darovima, naklonost tvoju traže prvaci naroda.”
13 All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold:
Sva lijepa korača kći kraljeva u haljinama zlatom vezenim.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto thee:
U haljini od veza šarena kralju je dovode, pratnja su joj djevice, druge njezine.
15 With joy and gladness shall they be brought; 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 sons; princes shalt thou make them 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 throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
Iz koljena u koljeno naviještat će ime tvoje, hvalit će te narodi u vijeke vjekova.
