Mapisarema 45

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba waVanakomana vaKora. Masikiri nomuimbirwo wa“Maruva aMahapa.” Rwiyo rwoMuchato. Mwoyo wangu unobvongodzwa nedingindira rakanaka, pandinodetembera mambo ndima dzangu; rurimi rwangu chinyoreso chomunyori anogona.

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is overflowing with a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a skilful writer.

2 Imi makanakisisa pavanhu vose uye miromo yenyu yakazadzwa nenyasha, sezvo Mwari akakuropafadzai nokusingaperi.

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

3 Sungai munondo wenyu parutivi, imi wamasimba, zvishongedzei nokubwinya noumambo.

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

4 Paumambo hwenyu kwirai mukunde kwazvo, makamirira chokwadi, kuzvininipisa nokururama; ruoko rwenyu rworudyi ngaruratidze mabasa enyu anotyisa.

And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5 Miseve yenyu inopinza ngaibaye mwoyo yavavengi vamambo; ndudzi ngadziputsikire pasi petsoka dzenyu.

Thy arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; by which the people fall under thee.

6 Chigaro chenyu, imi Mwari, chichagara nokusingaperi-peri; tsvimbo yokururamisira ichava tsvimbo youmambo hwenyu.

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of justice.

7 Imi munoda kururama uye munovenga zvakaipa; naizvozvo Mwari, Mwari wenyu, akakuisai pamusoro peshamwari dzenyu nokukuzodzai namafuta omufaro.

Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

8 Nguo dzenyu dzose dzinonhuwirira mura, arosi nekasia, zvinobva kumizinda yamadzimambo yakashongedzwa nenyanga dzenzou, kurira kwehungiso kunokufadzai.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made thee glad.

9 Vanasikana vamadzimambo vari pakati pavakadzi vanokudzwa; kuruoko rwenyu rworudyi kuno mwenga akashongedzwa negoridhe reOfiri.

Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Teerera, iwe mwanasikana, rangarira, uye urereke nzeve yako: Kanganwa vanhu vako neimba yababa vako.

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thy ear; forget also thy own people, and thy father’s house;

11 Mambo ayevedzwa norunako rwako; mukudze, nokuti ndiye Ishe wako.

So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

12 Mwanasikana weTire achauya nechipo, vanhu vakapfuma vachatsvaka nyasha kwauri.

And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.

13 Mwanasikana wamambo akanaka kwazvo mukati meimba yake; nguo yake yakarukirirwa negoridhe.

The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

14 Akapfeka nguo dzakashongedzwa achaperekedzwa kuna mambo; shamwari dzake idzo mhandara dzinomutevera uye vanouyiswa kwamuri.

She shall be brought to the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought to thee.

15 Vanoperekedzwa vachapinda nomufaro nokufarisisa; vanopinda mumuzinda wamambo.

With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.

16 Vanakomana venyu vachatsiva nzvimbo yamadzibaba enyu; muchavaita machinda munyika yose.

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

17 Ndichaita kuti kurangarirwa kwenyu kurambe kuripo, kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvose; naizvozvo ndudzi dzichakurumbidzai nokusingaperi-peri.

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
