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 chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning 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.
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3 Weka upanga wako upande wako, wewe uliye mwenye nguvu, katika utukufu wako na enzi yako.
Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 Katika enzi yako enenda katika ushindi kwa sababu ya uaminifu, upole, na haki; mkono wako wa kuume utakufundisha mambo ya kutisha.
And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Mishale yako ni mkali; watu huanguka chini yako; mishale yako imo ndani ya mioyo ya adui za mfalme.
Thy arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; [by which] the people fall under thee.
6 Kiti chako cha enzi, Mungu ni cha milele na milele; na fimbo ya haki ni fimbo ya utawala wako.
Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom [is] a scepter of justice.
7 Umeipenda haki na kuchukia uovu; kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekupaka mafuta ya furaha kuliko wenzako.
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 Mavazi yako yote hunukia manemane, udi, na mdalasini; kukoka katika majumba ya pembe vyombo vya muziki wa nyuzi vimekufurahisha.
All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made thee 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 [were] among thy honorable women: upon thy right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Sikiliza, mwanangu, tafakari na utege sikio lako; uwasahahu watu wako na watu wa nyumba ya baba yako.
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thy ear; forget also thy own people, and thy father's house;
11 Hivyo mfalme atautamani uzuri wako; yeye ni Bwana wako; umstahi.
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he [is] thy lord; and worship thou him.
12 Binti wa Tiro atakuwepo akiwa na zawadi; matajiri kati wa watu watajipendekeza kwako.
And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift; [even] the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
13 Binti mfalme katika jumba la kifahari ana utukufu wote; mavazi yake yametengenezwa kwa dhahabu.
The king's daughter [is] all glorious within: her clothing [is] of wrought gold.
14 Naye ataongozwa kwa mfalme akiwa katika mavazi ya dhahabu; mabikra, wenzake wanoumfuata, wataletwa kwako mafalme.
She shall be brought to the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought to thee.
15 Wao wataongozwa kwa furaha na shangwe; wataingia mahali pa mfalme.
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
16 Katika mahali pa baba zako watoto wako watakuwepo, ambao wewe utawafanya kuwa wakuu katika nchi yote.
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest 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 thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
