Psalms 45
1 For the music director. To the tune “Lilies.” A psalm (maskil) of the sons of Korah. A love song. I am moved to write about this wonderful subject. Let me share what I have written for the king. What I say comes from the pen of a skilled author.
Kora mma dwom. Ayeforɔhyia dwom. Botaeɛ bi a ɛdi mu akanyane mʼakoma ɛberɛ a merebɔ ɔhene mmrane no; me tɛkrɛma yɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ kunini bi twerɛdua.
2 You are more handsome than anyone else. You always speak graciously, for God has blessed you forever.
Wodi mu wɔ mmarima mu na wɔde adom bi asra wʼano, ɛsiane sɛ Onyankopɔn ahyira wo afebɔɔ no enti.
3 Strap on your sword, mighty warrior, stride out in glory and majesty!
Fa wʼakofena bɔ wo nkyɛn mu, Ao Otumfoɔ; fa animuonyam ne kɛseyɛ fira.
4 In your majesty ride out to victory, in the defense of truth, humility, and right, because you are strong and act powerfully.
Fa wo kɛseyɛ mu kɔ wʼanim nkonimdie so wɔ nokorɛ, ahobrɛaseɛ ne tenenee mu; ma wo nsa nifa nna wo nnwuma a ɛyɛ nwanwa no adi.
5 Your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of your enemies; the nations fall under you.
Ma wo bɛmma namnam no nhwere ɔhene atamfoɔ akoma mu; na ma amanaman nhwe wo nan ase.
6 Your throne comes from God, and lasts forever and ever. The scepter with which you rule is a scepter of fairness.
Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼahennwa no bɛtena hɔ daa daa; tenenee ahempoma bɛyɛ wʼahennie no ahempoma.
7 You love what is right and hate what is wrong. That is why God, your God, has placed you above everyone else by anointing you with the oil of joy.
Wodɔ tenenee na wokyiri bɔne. Ɛno enti Onyankopɔn, wo Onyankopɔn de wo asi wo mfɛfoɔ so, na ɔde anigyeɛ ngo asra wo.
8 Your robes are perfumed with aloes, myrrh, and cassia; music played on stringed instruments in palaces decorated with ivory makes you happy.
Kurobo, pɛperɛ ne bɛwewonua hwa agye wo batakari mu nyinaa; sankuo so nnwom a ɛfiri ahemfie a wɔde asonse asiesie ho mu ma wʼani gye.
9 The daughters of kings are among the noblewomen; the queen stands beside you on your right, wearing jewelry made of gold from Ophir.
Ahemfo mmammaa ka wo mmaa atitire ho; wo nsa nifa so na ayeforɔ dehyeɛ a ɔhyɛ Ofir sikakɔkɔɔ gyina.
10 Listen to what I have to say, daughter; please pay attention. Don't pine for your people and your family.
Ao ɔbabaa tie, dwene ho na yɛ ɔsetie; ma wo werɛ mfiri wo nkurɔfoɔ ne wo agya fie.
11 May the king desire you in your beauty; respect him, for he is your lord.
Wʼahoɔfɛ asɔ ɔhene no ani; di no nni, ɛfiri sɛ ɔno ne wo wura.
12 The people of Tyre will come with gifts; rich people will look for your favor.
Tiro Babaa de ayɛyɛdeɛ bɛba; mmarima adefoɔ bɛdɛfɛdɛfɛ wo.
13 Inside her preparation room the princess bride looks wonderful in her golden gown.
Ɔhene babaa a ɔwɔ ne piam no yɛ onimuonyamfoɔ wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ abobɔ nʼatadeɛ yuu mu.
14 Wearing her beautiful clothes she is brought to the king, followed by her bridesmaids.
Ɔhyɛ ntadeɛ a wɔadi mu adwinneɛ na wɔde no kɔma ɔhene; ne mfɛfoɔ mmaabunu di nʼakyi na wɔde wɔn nyinaa brɛ wo.
15 What a happy, joyful procession enters the king's palace!
Wɔde ahosɛpɛ ne anigyeɛ kɔ mu; wɔhyɛne ɔhempɔn no ahemfie.
16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers; as princes you will make them rulers throughout the land.
Wo mmammarima bɛsi wʼagyanom ananmu wobɛyɛ wɔn mmapɔmma wɔ asase no so nyinaa.
17 Through my words you will be famous through all generations, and nations will praise you forever and ever.
Mɛma wɔakae wo wɔ awontoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu; ɛno enti amanaman bɛkamfo wo daa nyinaa. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
