Thaburi 45
1 Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Ngoro yakwa ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ ũhoro mwega rĩrĩa ngũinĩra mũthamaki rwĩmbo rũrũ; rũrĩmĩ rwakwa no ta karamu ka mwandĩki ũrĩa mũũgĩ.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
2 Wee ũrĩ mũthaka mũno gũkĩra andũ othe, nacio iromo ciaku nĩciitĩrĩirio maũndũ ma ũtugi, kuona atĩ Ngai nĩakũrathimĩte nginya tene.
You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips, since God has blessed you forever.
3 Wĩohe rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora njohero, Wee njamba ĩno ĩrĩ hinya; wĩhumbe ũkaru waku o na ũnene.
Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.
4 Ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa ũnene waku thiĩ ũhaicĩte mbarathi, ũkĩhootanaga nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro wa ma, na wa kwĩnyiihia, o na wa ũthingu; reke guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo kuonanie ciĩko cia kũmakania.
In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
5 Mĩguĩ yaku ĩrĩa mĩũgĩ nĩĩtheece thũ cia mũthamaki o ngoro-inĩ; ndũrĩrĩ nĩigwe magũrũ-inĩ maku.
Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.
6 Wee Ngai, gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene gĩgũtũũra tene na tene; mũthĩgi waku wa kĩhooto nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũthĩgi wa ũthamaki waku.
Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7 Wee wendete ũthingu no ũgathũũra waganu; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai, o we Ngai waku, nĩakwambararĩtie gũkĩra athiritũ aku othe na ũndũ wa gũgũitĩrĩria maguta ma gĩkeno.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.
8 Nguo ciaku ciothe inungĩte o manemane, na thubiri, na mũndarathini; nĩũrakenio nĩ aini a nyĩmbo na inanda cia nga marĩ ciikaro-inĩ cia mũthamaki iria igemetio na mĩguongo.
All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
9 Thĩinĩ wa andũ-a-nja aku arĩa atĩĩku harĩ na aarĩ a athamaki; mũhiki ũcio wa mũthamaki aikarĩte mwena waku wa ũrĩo egemetie na thahabu ya Ofiri.
The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.
10 Ta thikĩrĩria, wee mwarĩ ũyũ, wĩcũũranie na ũigue: Riganĩrwo nĩ andũ anyu o na nyũmba ya thoguo.
Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,
11 Mũthamaki nĩakenetio mũno nĩ ũthaka waku; mũtĩĩe, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe mwathi waku.
and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.
12 Mwarĩ wa Turo nĩagakũrehera kĩheo, o nao andũ arĩa atongu mũno magatuĩka a kwĩyendithia harĩwe.
The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.
13 Mwarĩ wa mũthamaki no riiri mũtheri arĩ naguo arĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yake, nguo yake ĩtumĩtwo na ndigi cia thahabu.
All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.
14 Aratwarwo harĩ mũthamaki ehumbĩte nguo ngʼemie; oimĩtwo thuutha nĩ airĩtu gathirange a thiritũ yake, na othe marooka kũrĩ we.
In colorful garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions are brought before you.
15 Mararehwo na gĩkeno na ndũhiũ; nĩmatoonye nyũmba ya mũthamaki.
They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.
16 Ciana cianyu nĩcio igaacooka ithenya rĩa maithe manyu; ũkaamatua anene bũrũri-inĩ guothe.
Your sons will succeed your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
17 Nĩngũtũma ũtũũre ũririkanagwo nĩ njiarwa na njiarwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũrĩrĩ igaatũũra igũkumagia tene na tene.
I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
