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 end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.
2 Wee ũrĩ mũthaka mũno gũkĩra andũ othe, nacio iromo ciaku nĩciitĩrĩirio maũndũ ma ũtugi, kuona atĩ Ngai nĩakũrathimĩte nginya tene.
You are more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on your lips: therefore God has blessed you for ever.
3 Wĩohe rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora njohero, Wee njamba ĩno ĩrĩ hinya; wĩhumbe ũkaru waku o na ũnene.
Gird your sword upon your thigh, O Mighty One, in your comeliness, and in your beauty;
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.
and bend [your bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall guide you wonderfully.
5 Mĩguĩ yaku ĩrĩa mĩũgĩ nĩĩtheece thũ cia mũthamaki o ngoro-inĩ; ndũrĩrĩ nĩigwe magũrũ-inĩ maku.
Your weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under you) [they are] in the heart of the king's enemies.
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, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.
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 iniquity: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your fellows.
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.
Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia [are exhaled] from your garments, [and] out of the ivory palaces,
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.
with which kings' daughters have gladdened you for your honor: the queen stood by on your right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, [and] arrayed in various colors.
10 Ta thikĩrĩria, wee mwarĩ ũyũ, wĩcũũranie na ũigue: Riganĩrwo nĩ andũ anyu o na nyũmba ya thoguo.
Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; forget also your people, and your father's house.
11 Mũthamaki nĩakenetio mũno nĩ ũthaka waku; mũtĩĩe, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe mwathi waku.
Because the king has desired your beauty; for he is your Lord.
12 Mwarĩ wa Turo nĩagakũrehera kĩheo, o nao andũ arĩa atongu mũno magatuĩka a kwĩyendithia harĩwe.
And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate your favor.
13 Mwarĩ wa mũthamaki no riiri mũtheri arĩ naguo arĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yake, nguo yake ĩtumĩtwo na ndigi cia thahabu.
All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed [as she is] in golden fringed garments,
14 Aratwarwo harĩ mũthamaki ehumbĩte nguo ngʼemie; oimĩtwo thuutha nĩ airĩtu gathirange a thiritũ yake, na othe marooka kũrĩ we.
in embroidered [clothing]: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to you.
15 Mararehwo na gĩkeno na ndũhiũ; nĩmatoonye nyũmba ya mũthamaki.
They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.
16 Ciana cianyu nĩcio igaacooka ithenya rĩa maithe manyu; ũkaamatua anene bũrũri-inĩ guothe.
Instead of your fathers children are born to you: you shall make them princes over all the earth.
17 Nĩngũtũma ũtũũre ũririkanagwo nĩ njiarwa na njiarwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũrĩrĩ igaatũũra igũkumagia tene na tene.
They shall make mention of your name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to you for ever, even for ever and ever.
