Psalms 45
1 To the Chief Musician. On Shoshannim. For the Sons of Korah. A Psalm of Instruction. A Song of Love. Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, [like] the pen of a scribe who is skilled.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Oluyimba “olw’Amalanga.” Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Omutima gwange gujjudde ebigambo ebirungi nga nnyimba oluyimba lwa Kabaka. Olulimi lwange kkalaamu y’omuwandiisi omukugu.
2 Most beautiful thou art, beyond the sons of men, Graciousness hath been poured forth by thy lips, For this cause, hath God blessed thee, to times age-abiding.
Ggw’osinga abaana b’abantu obulungi; n’akamwa ko nga kafukiddwako amafuta ag’ekisa. Kubanga Katonda akuwadde omukisa emirembe gyonna.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, [’Tis] thine honour and thy majesty;
Weesibe ekitala kyo, Ayi ggwe ow’amaanyi, yambala ekitiibwa kyo n’obukulu bwo!
4 And, [in] thy majesty, be successful! ride forth! on behalf of faithfulness, and humility—righteousness, And let thine own right hand show thee wonderful things.
Weebagale embalaasi yo mu kitiibwa kyo eky’obuwanguzi, ng’olwanirira amazima, obuwombeefu, n’obutuukirivu. Omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gukole ebyewuunyisa.
5 Thine arrows, are sharp—Peoples, under thee, fall! In the heart of the foes of the king.
Obusaale bwo obwogi bufumite emitima gy’abalabe ba kabaka; afuge amawanga.
6 Thy throne, O God, is to times age-abiding and beyond, A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Entebe yo ey’obwakabaka, Ayi Katonda, ya lubeerera; n’omuggo ogw’obwenkanya gwe guliba ogw’obwakabaka bwo.
7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness, —For this cause, hath God, thine own God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, beyond thy partners.
Oyagala obutuukirivu n’okyawa okukola ebibi; noolwekyo Katonda, Katonda wo, kyavudde akugulumiza n’akufukako amafuta ag’essanyu okusinga bakabaka banno bonna.
8 Myrrh and aloes, cassias, all thy garments, —Out of the palaces of ivory, the tones of strings, have rejoiced thee.
Ebyambalo byo birina akawoowo ka mmooli ne alowe, ne kasiya. Ebivuga eby’enkoba bikusanyusiza mu mbiri zo ez’amasanga.
9 Daughters of kings, are among thine honourable women, Stationed is the bride at thy right hand, in gold of Ophir.
Mu bakyala bo mulimu abambejja; namasole ali ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo ng’ayambadde ebya zaabu ya Ofiri.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and observe, Incline also thine ear, Forget, then, thine own people, And the house of thy father;
Muwala, wuliriza bye nkugamba: “Weerabire ab’ewammwe n’ab’omu nnyumba ya kitaawo.
11 When the king shall desire thy beauty, Surely, he, is thy lord, then bow down to him.
Kabaka akulowoozaako nnyo, kubanga walungiwa n’oyitirira; nga bw’ali mukama wo, muwenga ekitiibwa.”
12 Also, the daughter of Tyre, [cometh in] with a present! Thy face, shall the rich of the people appease.
Muwala w’e Ttuulo alijja n’ekirabo, abasajja abagagga balikwegayirira obalage ekisa kyo.
13 All glorious—the daughter of a king [sitteth] within, Brocades, wrought with gold, [are] her clothing!
Omuwala wa kabaka ajjudde ekitiibwa mu kisenge kye, ng’ayambadde ekyambalo ekyalukibwa ne zaabu.
14 In embroidered raiment, shall she be brought unto the king—The virgins that follow her, her companions, are to be conducted unto thee:
Aleetebwa mu maaso ga kabaka ng’ayambadde ebyambalo eby’emidalizo emingi. Emperekeze ze zimuwerekerako; bonna ne bajja gy’oli.
15 They shall be brought, with rejoicings and exultation, —They shall enter into the palace of the king!
Baleetebwa nga bajjudde essanyu n’okweyagala, ne bayingira mu lubiri lwa kabaka.
16 Instead of thy fathers, be thy sons, Thou shalt make them rulers in all the earth.
Batabani bo baliweebwa ebifo bya bajjajjaabwe, olibafuula ng’abalangira mu nsi omwo.
17 I will keep in remembrance thy Name, through each succeeding generation, For this cause, peoples, shall praise thee, to times age-abiding and beyond.
Erinnya lyo linajjukirwanga emirembe gyonna. Amawanga kyeganaavanga gakutendereza emirembe n’emirembe.
