Psalms 45

1 To him that excelleth on Shoshannim a song of love to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. Mine heart will vtter forth a good matter: I wil intreat in my workes of the King: my tongue is as the pen of a swift writer.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He Homhanimi ma nga tama a Koraha. He Makiri, he waiata aroha. E pupuke ake ana te mea pai i roto i toku ngakau: ka korerotia e ahau aku i tito ai mo te kingi: he pene toku arero na te kaituhituhi hohoro.

2 Thou art fayrer then the children of men: grace is powred in thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for euer.

Engari koe he ataahua i nga tama a te tangata: kua ringihia ou ngutu ki te ahuareka, na reira i manaakitia ai koe e te Atua ake ake.

3 Gird thy sword vpon thy thigh, O most mightie, to wit, thy worship and thy glory,

Whitikiria tau hoari ki tou huwha, e te Nui Rawa, tou kororia me tou honore.

4 And prosper with thy glory: ride vpon the worde of trueth and of meekenes and of righteousnes: so thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Aratakina hoki tou hoiho i runga i tou honore, i te kaha, hei mea hoki mo te pono, mo te mahaki, mo te tika, a ma tou matau koe e whakaako ki nga mea whakamataku.

5 Thine arrowes are sharpe to pearce the heart of the Kings enemies: therefore the people shall fall vnder thee.

He koi au pere; ka hinga nga iwi ki raro i a koe; kei roto ratou i te ngakau o nga hoariri o te kingi.

6 Thy throne, O God, is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnesse.

He pumau, e te Atua, tou torona ake ake: he hepeta tika te hepeta o tou kingitanga.

7 Thou louest righteousnes, and hatest wickednesse, because God, euen thy God hath anoynted thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.

Kua aroha koe ki te tika, kua kino ki te hara: na reira, nui atu i to ou hoa te whakawahinga a te Atua, a tou Atua i a koe ki te hinu o te hari.

8 All thy garments smelll of myrrhe and aloes, and cassia, when thou commest out of the yuorie palaces, where they haue made thee glad.

Ko tou kakahu katoa he kakara maira, he aroe, he kahia; ko nga mea aho, whakatangitangi o nga whare rei nana koe i whakaahuareka.

9 Kings daugthers were among thine honorable wiues: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in a vesture of golde of Ophir.

Kei roto i au wahine honore nga tamahine kingi; kei tou matau te kuini e tu ana, no Opira te koura.

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine eare: forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house.

Whakarongo, e ko, titiro, tahuri iho tou taringa: a kia wareware koe ki tou iwi, ki te whare ano o tou papa.

11 So shall the King haue pleasure in thy beautie: for he is thy Lord, and reuerence thou him.

Penei ka matenuitia e te kingi tou ataahua: ko ia hoki tou Ariki; a me koropiko ki a ia.

12 And the daughter of Tyrus with the rich of the people shall doe homage before thy face with presents.

Ko reira ano te tamahine o Taira me te ohaoha: ka whai ano nga tangata taonga o te iwi kia manakohia e koe.

13 The Kings daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of broydred golde.

Kei roto te tamahine a te kingi, he kororia kau, he mea whakairo ki te koura tona kakahu.

14 She shalbe brought vnto the King in raiment of needle worke: the virgins that follow after her, and her companions shall be brought vnto thee.

He mea whakapaipai ki te ngira tona kakahu e kawea ai ia ki te kingi: ka arahina ki a koe nga wahine, ona takahoa e whai ana i a ia.

15 With ioy and gladnes shall they be brought, and shall enter into the Kings palace.

He hari, he koa ina kawea mai ratou; ka tomo ki te whare o te kingi.

16 In steade of thy fathers shall thy children be: thou shalt make them princes through all the earth.

Ko au tamariki hei whakakapi mo ou matua: ka meinga ano ratou e koe hei kawana mo te whenua katoa.

17 I will make thy Name to be remembred through all generations: therefore shall the people giue thanks vnto thee world without ende.

Ka meinga e ahau tou ingoa kia maharatia e nga whakatupuranga katoa: e whakamoemititia ai koe e nga iwi a ake ake.
