Zaburi 45

1 Moyo wangu unafurika kwa neno zuri; nitasoma kwa sauti maneno niliyo yaandika kuhusu mfalme; ulimi wangu ni kalamu ya mwandishi mwenye ustadi.

TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG OF LOVES. My heart has stirred a good word, I am telling my works to the King, My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy writer.

2 Wewe u mzuri sana kuliko mwanadamu yeyote; neema imemiminwa midomoni mwako; Kwa hiyo tunajua ya kuwa Mungu amekubariki milele.

You have been beautified above the sons of men, Grace has been poured into Your lips, Therefore God has blessed You for all time.

3 Weka upanga wako upande wako, wewe uliye mwenye nguvu, katika utukufu wako na enzi yako.

Gird Your sword on the thigh, O Mighty [One], Your splendor and Your majesty!

4 Katika enzi yako enenda katika ushindi kwa sababu ya uaminifu, upole, na haki; mkono wako wa kuume utakufundisha mambo ya kutisha.

As for Your majesty—prosper [and] ride! Because of truth, meekness, [and] righteousness, And Your right hand shows You fearful things.

5 Mishale yako ni mkali; watu huanguka chini yako; mishale yako imo ndani ya mioyo ya adui za mfalme.

Your arrows [are] sharp—Peoples fall under You—In the heart of the enemies of the King.

6 Kiti chako cha enzi, Mungu ni cha milele na milele; na fimbo ya haki ni fimbo ya utawala wako.

Your throne, O God, [is for] all time and forever, A scepter of uprightness [Is] the scepter of Your kingdom.

7 Umeipenda haki na kuchukia uovu; kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekupaka mafuta ya furaha kuliko wenzako.

You have loved righteousness and hate wickedness, Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With oil of joy above Your companions.

8 Mavazi yako yote hunukia manemane, udi, na mdalasini; kukoka katika majumba ya pembe vyombo vya muziki wa nyuzi vimekufurahisha.

Myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia [Cover] all Your garments; Out of palaces of ivory, Stringed instruments have made You glad.

9 Binti za wafalme ni kati ya wake zako waheshimiwa; na mkono wako wa kuume amesimama malikia aliye vaa mavazi ya dhahabu ya Ofiri.

Daughters of kings [are] among Your precious ones, A queen has stood at Your right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.

10 Sikiliza, mwanangu, tafakari na utege sikio lako; uwasahahu watu wako na watu wa nyumba ya baba yako.

Listen, O daughter, and see, incline your ear, And forget your people, and your father’s house,

11 Hivyo mfalme atautamani uzuri wako; yeye ni Bwana wako; umstahi.

And the King desires your beauty, Because He [is] your Lord—bow yourself to Him,

12 Binti wa Tiro atakuwepo akiwa na zawadi; matajiri kati wa watu watajipendekeza kwako.

And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people appease your face.

13 Binti mfalme katika jumba la kifahari ana utukufu wote; mavazi yake yametengenezwa kwa dhahabu.

All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Her clothing [is] with filigrees of gold.

14 Naye ataongozwa kwa mfalme akiwa katika mavazi ya dhahabu; mabikra, wenzake wanoumfuata, wataletwa kwako mafalme.

In various colors she is brought to the King; Afterward, virgins, her companions, Are brought to You.

15 Wao wataongozwa kwa furaha na shangwe; wataingia mahali pa mfalme.

They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the King.

16 Katika mahali pa baba zako watoto wako watakuwepo, ambao wewe utawafanya kuwa wakuu katika nchi yote.

Instead of Your fathers are Your sons, You appoint them for princes in all the earth.

17 Nami nitalifanya jina lako kukumbukwa katika uzao wote; kwa hiyo watu watakushukuru milele na milele.

I make mention of Your Name in all generations, Therefore peoples praise You, For all time and forever!
