Psalms 45
1 In my inner being I am stirred by a beautiful message which will be sung to the king. The words of this message will be written with a pen by me, a skilled writer.
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Bunga bakung. Dari bani Korah. Nyanyian pengajaran; nyanyian kasih. Hatiku meluap dengan kata-kata indah, aku hendak menyampaikan sajakku kepada raja; lidahku ialah pena seorang jurutulis yang mahir.
2 [O King], you are the most handsome man in the world, and you always speak [MTY] eloquently, because God has always blessed you.
Engkau yang terelok di antara anak-anak manusia, kemurahan tercurah pada bibirmu, sebab itu Allah telah memberkati engkau untuk selama-lamanya.
3 You who are a mighty warrior, put on your sword! You are glorious and majestic.
Ikatlah pedangmu pada pinggang, hai pahlawan, dalam keagunganmu dan semarakmu!
4 Ride on like a great chief to defend the truth that you speak and the fair decisions that you make! Because you are strong [MTY], you will do awesome deeds.
Dalam semarakmu itu majulah demi kebenaran, perikemanusiaan dan keadilan! Biarlah tangan kananmu mengajarkan engkau perbuatan-perbuatan yang dahsyat!
5 Your arrows are sharp, and they pierce the hearts of your enemies. Soldiers of many nations will fall dead at your feet.
Anak-anak panahmu tajam, menembus jantung musuh raja; bangsa-bangsa jatuh di bawah kakimu.
6 The kingdom [MTY] that God will give to you will remain forever. You rule [MTY] people justly.
Takhtamu kepunyaan Allah, tetap untuk seterusnya dan selamanya, dan tongkat kerajaanmu adalah tongkat kebenaran.
7 You love right actions, and you hate evil actions. Therefore God, your God, has chosen [MTY] you [to be king] and caused you to be happier [MET] than any other king.
Engkau mencintai keadilan dan membenci kefasikan; sebab itu Allah, Allahmu, telah mengurapi engkau dengan minyak sebagai tanda kesukaan, melebihi teman-teman sekutumu.
8 The perfume of various spices is on your robes. [People] (entertain you/make you happy) in ivory palaces by playing stringed instruments.
Segala pakaianmu berbau mur, gaharu dan cendana; dari istana gading permainan kecapi menyukakan engkau;
9 Among the women who stay near you [EUP] stay are daughters of [other] kings. And at your right hand stands [your bride], the queen, wearing beautiful ornaments of gold that comes from Ophir.
di antara mereka yang disayangi terdapat puteri-puteri raja, di sebelah kananmu berdiri permaisuri berpakaian emas dari Ofir.
10 [Now I will say something] to your bride: Listen to me carefully [DOU]! Forget the people who live in your home country, forget your relatives!
Dengarlah, hai puteri, lihatlah, dan sendengkanlah telingamu, lupakanlah bangsamu dan seisi rumah ayahmu!
11 Because you are [very], the king will desire [to sleep with] [EUP] you. He is your master, so you must obey him.
Biarlah raja menjadi gairah karena keelokanmu, sebab dialah tuanmu! Sujudlah kepadanya!
12 The people from Tyre [city] will bring gifts to you; their rich people will try to persuade you to do favors for them.
Puteri Tirus datang dengan pemberian-pemberian; orang-orang kaya di antara rakyat akan mengambil muka kepadamu.
13 [O king], your bride will be entering the palace wearing beautiful robes made from gold thread.
Keindahan belaka puteri raja itu di dalam, pakaiannya berpakankan emas.
14 While she is wearing a gown that has many colors, her companions will lead her to you. She will have many other young women who accompany her.
Dengan pakaian bersulam berwarna-warna ia dibawa kepada raja; anak-anak dara mengikutinya, yakni teman-temannya, yang didatangkan untuk dia.
15 They will be very joyful [DOU] as they are led along to enter your palace.
Dengan sukacita dan sorak-sorai mereka dibawa, mereka masuk ke dalam istana raja.
16 Some day, your sons and your grandsons will become kings, just like your ancestors were. You will enable them to become rulers in many countries [HYP].
Para bapa leluhurmu hendaknya diganti oleh anak-anakmu nanti; engkau akan mengangkat mereka menjadi pembesar di seluruh bumi.
17 And as for me, I will enable people in every generation to remember the great things that you [MTY] have done, and people will praise you forever.
Aku mau memasyhurkan namamu turun-temurun; sebab itu bangsa-bangsa akan bersyukur kepadamu untuk seterusnya dan selamanya.
