Psalms 45
1 For the Leader; upon Shoshannim; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I say: 'My work is concerning a king'; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Moyo wangu unafurika kwa neno zuri; nitasoma kwa sauti maneno niliyo yaandika kuhusu mfalme; ulimi wangu ni kalamu ya mwandishi mwenye ustadi.
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men; grace is poured upon thy lips; therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
Wewe u mzuri sana kuliko mwanadamu yeyote; neema imemiminwa midomoni mwako; Kwa hiyo tunajua ya kuwa Mungu amekubariki milele.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, thy glory and thy majesty.
Weka upanga wako upande wako, wewe uliye mwenye nguvu, katika utukufu wako na enzi yako.
4 And in thy majesty prosper, ride on, in behalf of truth and meekness and righteousness; and let thy right hand teach thee tremendous things.
Katika enzi yako enenda katika ushindi kwa sababu ya uaminifu, upole, na haki; mkono wako wa kuume utakufundisha mambo ya kutisha.
5 Thine arrows are sharp — the peoples fall under thee — they sink into the heart of the king's enemies.
Mishale yako ni mkali; watu huanguka chini yako; mishale yako imo ndani ya mioyo ya adui za mfalme.
6 Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Kiti chako cha enzi, Mungu ni cha milele na milele; na fimbo ya haki ni fimbo ya utawala wako.
7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Umeipenda haki na kuchukia uovu; kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekupaka mafuta ya furaha kuliko wenzako.
8 Myrrh, and aloes, and cassia are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
Mavazi yako yote hunukia manemane, udi, na mdalasini; kukoka katika majumba ya pembe vyombo vya muziki wa nyuzi vimekufurahisha.
9 Kings' daughters are among thy favourites; at thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
Binti za wafalme ni kati ya wake zako waheshimiwa; na mkono wako wa kuume amesimama malikia aliye vaa mavazi ya dhahabu ya Ofiri.
10 'Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
Sikiliza, mwanangu, tafakari na utege sikio lako; uwasahahu watu wako na watu wa nyumba ya baba yako.
11 So shall the king desire thy beauty; for he is thy lord; and do homage unto him.
Hivyo mfalme atautamani uzuri wako; yeye ni Bwana wako; umstahi.
12 And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people shall entreat thy favour with a gift.'
Binti wa Tiro atakuwepo akiwa na zawadi; matajiri kati wa watu watajipendekeza kwako.
13 All glorious is the king's daughter within the palace; her raiment is of chequer work inwrought with gold.
Binti mfalme katika jumba la kifahari ana utukufu wote; mavazi yake yametengenezwa kwa dhahabu.
14 She shall be led unto the king on richly woven stuff; the virgins her companions in her train being brought unto thee.
Naye ataongozwa kwa mfalme akiwa katika mavazi ya dhahabu; mabikra, wenzake wanoumfuata, wataletwa kwako mafalme.
15 They shall be led with gladness and rejoicing; they shall enter into the king's palace.
Wao wataongozwa kwa furaha na shangwe; wataingia mahali pa mfalme.
16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons, whom thou shalt make princes in all the land.
Katika mahali pa baba zako watoto wako watakuwepo, ambao wewe utawafanya kuwa wakuu katika nchi yote.
17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
Nami nitalifanya jina lako kukumbukwa katika uzao wote; kwa hiyo watu watakushukuru milele na milele.
