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.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa utenzi wa “Yungiyungi.” Utenzi wa wana wa Kora. Wimbo wa arusi. Moyo wangu umesisimuliwa na jambo jema ninapomsimulia mfalme mabeti yangu; ulimi wangu ni kalamu ya mwandishi stadi.
2 Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
Wewe ni bora kuliko watu wengine wote na midomo yako imepakwa neema, kwa kuwa Mungu amekubariki milele.
3 Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O mighty one, [in] thy majesty and thy splendour;
Jifunge upanga wako pajani mwako, ee mwenye nguvu, jivike fahari na utukufu.
4 And [in] thy splendour ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
Katika fahari yako, songa mbele kwa ushindi, kwa ajili ya kweli, unyenyekevu na haki, mkono wako wa kuume na uonyeshe matendo ya kutisha.
5 Thine arrows are sharp — peoples fall under thee — in the heart of the king's enemies.
Mishale yako mikali na ichome mioyo ya adui za mfalme, mataifa na yaanguke chini ya nyayo zako.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom:
Ee Mungu, kiti chako cha enzi kitadumu milele na milele, fimbo ya utawala wa haki itakuwa fimbo ya utawala wa ufalme wako.
7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
Unaipenda haki na kuchukia uovu; kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekuweka juu ya wenzako, kwa kukupaka mafuta ya furaha.
8 Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
Mavazi yako yote yana harufu nzuri ya manemane, udi na mdalasini; kutoka kwenye majumba ya kifalme yaliyopambwa kwa pembe za ndovu, sauti za vinanda vya nyuzi zinakufanya ufurahi.
9 Kings' daughters are among thine honourable women; upon thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
Binti za wafalme ni miongoni mwa wanawake wako waheshimiwa; kuume kwako yupo bibi arusi malkia aliyevaa dhahabu ya Ofiri.
10 Hearken, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own people and thy father's house:
Sikiliza, ewe binti, fikiri na utege sikio: Sahau watu wako na nyumba ya baba yako.
11 And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.
Mfalme ameshangazwa na uzuri wako; mheshimu, kwa kuwa yeye ni bwana wako.
12 And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court thy favour.
Binti wa Tiro atakuletea zawadi, watu wenye utajiri watatafuta upendeleo wako.
13 All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold:
Utukufu wote una binti mfalme katika chumba chake; vazi lake limefumwa kwa nyuzi za dhahabu.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto thee:
Anaongozwa kwa mfalme, akiwa amevalia mavazi yaliyotariziwa, mabikira wenzake wanamfuata na wanaletwa kwako.
15 With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king's palace.
Wanaingizwa ndani kwa shangwe na furaha, na kuingia katika jumba la mfalme.
16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons; princes shalt thou make them in all the earth.
Wana wenu watachukua nafasi za baba zenu, mtawafanya wakuu katika nchi yote.
17 I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
Nitadumisha kumbukumbu lako katika vizazi vyote, kwa hiyo mataifa watakusifu milele na milele.
