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.
Inhliziyo yami iphuphuma ngendaba enhle; ngikhuluma ngezinto engizenzele inkosi; ulimi lwami lulusiba lombhali ophangisayo.
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.
Umuhle kulabantwana babantu; umusa uthululwe endebeni zakho; ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu ukubusisile kuze kube phakade.
3 Gird Your sword on the thigh, O Mighty [One], Your splendor and Your majesty!
Bhinca inkemba yakho emlenzeni, qhawe, udumo lwakho lobukhosi bakho.
4 As for Your majesty—prosper [and] ride! Because of truth, meekness, [and] righteousness, And Your right hand shows You fearful things.
Lebukhosini bakho gada uphumulele, ngenxa yeqiniso lobumnene bokulunga; lesandla sakho sokunene sikufundise izinto ezesabekayo.
5 Your arrows [are] sharp—Peoples fall under You—In the heart of the enemies of the King.
Imitshoko yakho ibukhali enhliziyweni yezitha zenkosi; izizwe zizakuwa ngaphansi kwakho.
6 Your throne, O God, [is for] all time and forever, A scepter of uprightness [Is] the scepter of Your kingdom.
Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, Nkulunkulu, ngesaphakade laphakade; intonga yakho yobukhosi iyintonga yobuqotho.
7 You have loved righteousness and hate wickedness, Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With oil of joy above Your companions.
Uthanda ukulunga, njalo uzonda ububi; ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho, ukugcobile ngamafutha entokozo ngaphezu kwabanakwenu.
8 Myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia [Cover] all Your garments; Out of palaces of ivory, Stringed instruments have made You glad.
Izembatho zakho zonke ziqholiwe ngemure lenhlaba lekhasiya; ezigodlweni zempondo zendlovu abakwenze wathokoza ngazo.
9 Daughters of kings [are] among Your precious ones, A queen has stood at Your right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.
Amadodakazi amakhosi aphakathi kwabesifazana bakho abadumileyo; indlovukazi imi esandleni sokunene sakho yembethe igolide leOfiri.
10 Listen, O daughter, and see, incline your ear, And forget your people, and your father’s house,
Zwana, ndodakazi, unakane, ubeke indlebe yakho; ukhohlwe abantu bakini lendlu kayihlo;
11 And the King desires your beauty, Because He [is] your Lord—bow yourself to Him,
khona inkosi izalangatha ubuhle bakho; ngoba iyinkosi yakho, njalo khothama kuyo.
12 And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people appease your face.
Lendodakazi yeTire ilesipho, labanothileyo ebantwini, bazancenga ubuso bakho.
13 All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Her clothing [is] with filigrees of gold.
Indodakazi yenkosi iyakhazimula yonke ngaphakathi, isembatho sayo singesegolide elelukiweyo.
14 In various colors she is brought to the King; Afterward, virgins, her companions, Are brought to You.
Izalethwa enkosini yembethe isembatho esifekethisiweyo; izintombi eziyilandelayo, abangane bayo, zizalethwa kuwe.
15 They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the King.
Zizalethwa ngokuthaba lenjabulo, zizangena esigodlweni senkosi.
16 Instead of Your fathers are Your sons, You appoint them for princes in all the earth.
Esikhundleni saboyihlo kuzakuba ngamadodana akho, uzawabeka abe yiziphathamandla emhlabeni wonke.
17 I make mention of Your Name in all generations, Therefore peoples praise You, For all time and forever!
Ibizo lakho ngizalenza likhunjulwe ezizukulwaneni zonke; ngenxa yalokho izizwe zizakudumisa kuze kube nini lanini.
