Mazmur 45
1 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.
Unto the end. For those who will be changed. To the sons of Korah, toward understanding. A Canticle for the Beloved. My heart has uttered a good word. I speak of my works to the king. My tongue is like the pen of a scribe who writes quickly.
2 Engkau yang terelok di antara anak-anak manusia, kemurahan tercurah pada bibirmu, sebab itu Allah telah memberkati engkau untuk selama-lamanya.
You are a brilliant form before the sons of men. Grace has been poured freely into your lips. Because of this, God has blessed you in eternity.
3 Ikatlah pedangmu pada pinggang, hai pahlawan, dalam keagunganmu dan semarakmu!
Fasten your sword to your thigh, O most powerful one.
4 Dalam semarakmu itu majulah demi kebenaran, perikemanusiaan dan keadilan! Biarlah tangan kananmu mengajarkan engkau perbuatan-perbuatan yang dahsyat!
With your splendor and your excellence extended, proceed prosperously, and reign for the sake of truth and meekness and justice, and so will your right hand lead you wondrously.
5 Anak-anak panahmu tajam, menembus jantung musuh raja; bangsa-bangsa jatuh di bawah kakimu.
Your arrows are sharp; the people will fall under you, with the hearts of the enemies of the king.
6 Takhtamu kepunyaan Allah, tetap untuk seterusnya dan selamanya, dan tongkat kerajaanmu adalah tongkat kebenaran.
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of true aim.
7 Engkau mencintai keadilan dan membenci kefasikan; sebab itu Allah, Allahmu, telah mengurapi engkau dengan minyak sebagai tanda kesukaan, melebihi teman-teman sekutumu.
You have loved justice and hated iniquity. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you, before your co-heirs, with the oil of gladness.
8 Segala pakaianmu berbau mur, gaharu dan cendana; dari istana gading permainan kecapi menyukakan engkau;
Myrrh and balsam and cinnamon perfume your garments, from the houses of ivory. From these, they have delighted you:
9 di antara mereka yang disayangi terdapat puteri-puteri raja, di sebelah kananmu berdiri permaisuri berpakaian emas dari Ofir.
the daughters of kings in your honor. The queen assisted at your right hand, in clothing of gold, encircled with diversity.
10 Dengarlah, hai puteri, lihatlah, dan sendengkanlah telingamu, lupakanlah bangsamu dan seisi rumah ayahmu!
Listen, daughter, and see, and incline your ear. And forget your people and your father’s house.
11 Biarlah raja menjadi gairah karena keelokanmu, sebab dialah tuanmu! Sujudlah kepadanya!
And the king will desire your beauty. For he is the Lord your God, and they will adore him.
12 Puteri Tirus datang dengan pemberian-pemberian; orang-orang kaya di antara rakyat akan mengambil muka kepadamu.
And the daughters of Tyre will entreat your countenance with gifts: all the rich men of the people.
13 Keindahan belaka puteri raja itu di dalam, pakaiannya berpakankan emas.
All the glory of the daughter of its king is inside, in golden fringes,
14 Dengan pakaian bersulam berwarna-warna ia dibawa kepada raja; anak-anak dara mengikutinya, yakni teman-temannya, yang didatangkan untuk dia.
clothed all around with diversities. After her, virgins will be led to the king. Her neighbors will be brought to you.
15 Dengan sukacita dan sorak-sorai mereka dibawa, mereka masuk ke dalam istana raja.
They will be brought with gladness and exultation. They will be led into the temple of the king.
16 Para bapa leluhurmu hendaknya diganti oleh anak-anakmu nanti; engkau akan mengangkat mereka menjadi pembesar di seluruh bumi.
For your fathers, sons have been born to you. You will establish them as leaders over all the earth.
17 Aku mau memasyhurkan namamu turun-temurun; sebab itu bangsa-bangsa akan bersyukur kepadamu untuk seterusnya dan selamanya.
They will remember your name always, for generation after generation. Because of this, people will confess to you in eternity, even forever and ever.
