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.
For the chief musician; set to Shoshannim. A psalm of the sons of Korah. A maschil. A song of loves. My heart overflows on a good subject; I will read aloud the words I have composed about the king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 Wewe u mzuri sana kuliko mwanadamu yeyote; neema imemiminwa midomoni mwako; Kwa hiyo tunajua ya kuwa Mungu amekubariki milele.
You are fairer than the children of mankind; grace is poured onto your lips; therefore we know that God has blessed you forever.
3 Weka upanga wako upande wako, wewe uliye mwenye nguvu, katika utukufu wako na enzi yako.
Put your sword on your side, mighty one, in your glory 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.
In your majesty ride on triumphantly because of trustworthiness, meekness, and righteousness; your right hand will teach 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; the peoples fall under you; your arrows are in the hearts of the king's enemies.
6 Kiti chako cha enzi, Mungu ni cha milele na milele; na fimbo ya haki ni fimbo ya utawala wako.
Your throne, God, is forever and ever; a scepter of justice 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 hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions.
8 Mavazi yako yote hunukia manemane, udi, na mdalasini; kukoka katika majumba ya pembe vyombo vya muziki wa nyuzi vimekufurahisha.
All your garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia; out of ivory palaces 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.
Kings' daughters are among your honorable women; at your right hand stands the queen clothed in gold of Ophir.
10 Sikiliza, mwanangu, tafakari na utege sikio lako; uwasahahu watu wako na watu wa nyumba ya baba yako.
Listen, daughter, consider and incline your ear; forget your own people and your father's house.
11 Hivyo mfalme atautamani uzuri wako; yeye ni Bwana wako; umstahi.
In this way the king will desire your beauty; he is your master; revere him.
12 Binti wa Tiro atakuwepo akiwa na zawadi; matajiri kati wa watu watajipendekeza kwako.
The daughter of Tyre will be there with a gift; the rich among the people will beg for your favor.
13 Binti mfalme katika jumba la kifahari ana utukufu wote; mavazi yake yametengenezwa kwa dhahabu.
The royal daughter in the palace is all glorious; her clothing is worked with gold.
14 Naye ataongozwa kwa mfalme akiwa katika mavazi ya dhahabu; mabikra, wenzake wanoumfuata, wataletwa kwako mafalme.
She will be led to the king in embroidered dress; the virgins, her companions who follow her, will be brought to you.
15 Wao wataongozwa kwa furaha na shangwe; wataingia mahali pa mfalme.
They will be led by gladness and rejoicing; they will enter into the king's palace.
16 Katika mahali pa baba zako watoto wako watakuwepo, ambao wewe utawafanya kuwa wakuu katika nchi yote.
In the place of your fathers will be your children, whom you will make princes in all the earth.
17 Nami nitalifanya jina lako kukumbukwa katika uzao wote; kwa hiyo watu watakushukuru milele na milele.
I will make your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore the peoples will give you thanks forever and ever.
