Psalms 45
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song. My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skilful writer.
KE hoohu mai nei ko'u naau i ke mele maikai; Ke hai aku nei au i na mea a'u i hana'i no ke Alii; O ko'u alelo ka peni a me ka mea kakau wikiwiki.
2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
Ua oi kou nani mamua o na keiki a kanaka: Ua nininiia ka maikai iloko o kou mau lehelehe; Nolaila, ua hoomaikai mau loa ke Akua ia oe.
3 Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendour and your majesty.
E kaei oe i kau pahikaua ma kou uha, e ka Mea mana, Me kou nani a me kou hanohano.
4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
A iloko o kou hanohano e holokaa pomaikai ai, No ka oiaio a me ke akahai, a me ka pono; A a ao iho kou lima akau ia oe i na mea weliweli
5 Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.
Ua oi aku kou mau pua iloko o ka naau o ko ke alii poe enemi; Hina iho na kanaka malalo iho ou.
6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of your kingdom.
O kou nohoalii, e ke Akua, e mau loa ana no ia: O ka hoailonamoi o kou aupuni. he hoailonamoi pono no ia.
7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
Makemake no oe i ka pono, A hoowahawaha no oe i ka hewa: Nolaila ke Akua, kou Akua i poni ai ia oe, Ma ka aila olioli maluna o kou mau hoa.
8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
Ke aala pu mai nei kou mau kapa a pau i ka mura, a me ka aloe, a me ke kasia; Noloko mai o na halealii nihoelepani i hoohauoli ai lakou ia oe.
9 Kings’ daughters are amongst your honourable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
O na kaikamahine a na'lii kekahi iwaena o kou mau wahine hanohano; Ma kou lima akau i ku mai ai ke alii wahine me ke gula noopira.
10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.
E hoolohe mai, e ke kaikamahine, a e hoomanao, A e haliu mai i kou pepeiao; E hoopoina hoi i kou poe kanaka, a me ka hale o kou makuakane;
11 So the king will desire your beauty, honour him, for he is your lord.
Pela hoi, e makemake nui ai ke alii i kou nani: No ka mea, oia kou Haku; E hoomana aku hoi oe ia ia.
12 The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich amongst the people entreat your favour.
O ke kaikamahine o Turo me ka makana; A o ka poe waiwai o na kanaka e imi i ka hooluolu ia oe.
13 The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
He nani loa maloko ke kaikamahine a ke alii; O kona kapa he gula i ulanaia no ia.
14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
E laweia mai oia i ke alii iloko o na kapa hoonionioia; O na kaikamahine kona mau hoanoho, e hahai ana mamuli ona, E lawe pu ia mai lakou ia oe.
15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king’s palace.
Me ka olioli, a me ka hauoli ana e laweia mai lakou: E komo no hoi lakou iloko o ko ke alii halealii:
16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.
Ma ka hakahaka o kou mau makua, malaila auanei kau mau keiki, Au e hoolilo ai i alii ma ka honua a pau.
17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
E hoomaikai mau aku au i kou inoa i na hanauna a pau; Nolaila e hoolea na kanaka ia oe a mau loa.
