Psalms 45

1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG OF LOVES. My heart has stirred a good word, I am telling my works to the King, My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy 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 You have been beautified above the sons of men, Grace has been poured into Your lips, Therefore God has blessed You for all time.

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 Your sword on the thigh, O Mighty [One], Your splendor and Your majesty!

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

4 As for Your majesty—prosper [and] ride! Because of truth, meekness, [and] righteousness, And Your right hand shows You fearful 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 Your arrows [are] sharp—Peoples fall under You—In the heart of the enemies of the King.

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 Your throne, O God, [is for] all time and forever, A scepter of uprightness [Is] the scepter of Your kingdom.

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

7 You have loved righteousness and hate wickedness, Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With oil of joy above Your companions.

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 Myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia [Cover] all Your garments; Out of palaces of ivory, Stringed instruments have made You 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 Daughters of kings [are] among Your precious ones, A queen has stood at Your right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.

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

10 Listen, O daughter, and see, incline your ear, And forget your people, and your father’s house,

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

11 And the King desires your beauty, Because He [is] your Lord—bow yourself to 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 Tyre with a present, The rich of the people appease your face.

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

13 All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Her clothing [is] with filigrees of gold.

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

14 In various colors she is brought to the King; Afterward, virgins, her companions, Are brought to You.

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 They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the King.

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

16 Instead of Your fathers are Your sons, You appoint them for princes in 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 make mention of Your Name in all generations, Therefore peoples praise You, For all time and forever!

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