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.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Njengengoma ethi “Izimbali.” Ihubo lamaDodana kaKhora. Ingoma yomtshado. Inhliziyo yami iyagubhazela ngendaba enkulu nxa ngivuma inkondlo yami ngiyihayela inkosi; ulimi lwami lusiba lomlobi ololwazi.
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.
Uyilikhwa lamakhwa emadodeni wonke lezindebe zakho ziconjwe kuhle ngobunono, njengalokhu uNkulunkulu ekubusisile lanininini.
3 Gird Your sword on the thigh, O Mighty [One], Your splendor and Your majesty!
Hloma inkemba yakho okhalweni, wena omkhulu; zembathise ngokukhazimula langobukhosi.
4 As for Your majesty—prosper [and] ride! Because of truth, meekness, [and] righteousness, And Your right hand shows You fearful things.
Usebukhosini bakho khwela enqoleni ulokunqoba umele iqiniso lokuzithoba lokulunga; akuthi isandla sakho sokunene senze izimanga.
5 Your arrows [are] sharp—Peoples fall under You—In the heart of the enemies of the King.
Akuthi imitshoko yakho ecijileyo icibe inhliziyo zezitha zenkosi; akuthi izizwe ziwe ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakho.
6 Your throne, O God, [is for] all time and forever, A scepter of uprightness [Is] the scepter of Your kingdom.
Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, Oh Nkulunkulu, sizakuma nini lanini; intonga yokwahlulela okulungileyo izakuba yintonga yombuso wakho.
7 You have loved righteousness and hate wickedness, Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With oil of joy above Your companions.
Uyakuthanda ukulunga njalo uyabuzonda ububi; ngakho uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho usekubeke ngaphezu kwabakhula bakho ngokukugcoba ngamafutha entokozo.
8 Myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia [Cover] all Your garments; Out of palaces of ivory, Stringed instruments have made You glad.
Zonke izembatho zakho ziqholiwe ngemure, langenhlaba langekhasiya; ezigodlweni eziceciswe ngempondo zendlovu kuqhamuka inhlokomo yeziginci ekuthokozisayo.
9 Daughters of kings [are] among Your precious ones, A queen has stood at Your right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.
Amadodakazi amakhosi akhona kanye labanye abesifazane abahloniphekayo; kwesokunene sakho ngumlobokazi wesikhosini oceciswe ngegolide lase-Ofiri.
10 Listen, O daughter, and see, incline your ear, And forget your people, and your father’s house,
Lalela, ndodakazi, nanzelela uvule indlebe; khohlwa abakini, lendlu yakwenu.
11 And the King desires your beauty, Because He [is] your Lord—bow yourself to Him,
Inkosi iyaphelelwa ngobuhle bakho; yihloniphe, ngoba iyinkosi yakho.
12 And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people appease your face.
Indodakazi yaseThire izakuza lesipho, amadoda anothileyo azazincengela kuwe.
13 All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Her clothing [is] with filigrees of gold.
Ngaphakathi exhibeni layo inkosazana yibucwazicwazi; isembatho sayo sicecisiwe ngegolide.
14 In various colors she is brought to the King; Afterward, virgins, her companions, Are brought to You.
Isiwa enkosini yembethe izivunulo ezelukiweyo; abakhaphi bayo bayayilandela balethwe kuwe.
15 They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the King.
Bangeniswa lapho ngentokozo lenjabulo; bangena esigodlweni senkosi.
16 Instead of Your fathers are Your sons, You appoint them for princes in all the earth.
Amadodana enu azathatha isikhundla saboyihlo; lizawenza abe ngamakhosana elizweni lonke.
17 I make mention of Your Name in all generations, Therefore peoples praise You, For all time and forever!
Ibizo lakho ngizalenza likhunjulwe kokuphela yizizukulwane zonke; yikho-ke izizwe zizakudumisa nini lanini.
