Psalms 45

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

1 Moyo wangu umesisimuliwa na jambo jema ninapomsimulia mfalme mabeti yangu; ulimi wangu ni kalamu ya mwandishi stadi.

2 You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.

2 Wewe ni bora kuliko watu wengine wote na midomo yako imepakwa neema, kwa kuwa Mungu amekubariki milele.

3 Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.

3 Jifunge upanga wako pajani mwako, ee mwenye nguvu, jivike fahari na utukufu.

4 In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

4 Katika fahari yako, songa mbele kwa ushindi, kwa ajili ya kweli, unyenyekevu na haki, mkono wako wa kuume na uonyeshe matendo ya kutisha.

5 Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.

5 Mishale yako mikali na ichome mioyo ya adui za mfalme, mataifa na yaanguke chini ya nyayo zako.

6 Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

6 Ee Mungu, kiti chako cha enzi kitadumu milele na milele, fimbo ya utawala wa haki itakuwa fimbo ya utawala wa ufalme wako.

7 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.

7 Unaipenda haki na kuchukia uovu; kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekuweka juu ya wenzako, kwa kukupaka mafuta ya furaha.

8 All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.

8 Mavazi yako yote yana harufu nzuri ya manemane, udi na mdalasini; kutoka kwenye majumba ya kifalme yaliyopambwa kwa pembe za ndovu, sauti za vinanda vya nyuzi zinakufanya ufurahi.

9 The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.

9 Binti za wafalme ni miongoni mwa wanawake wako waheshimiwa; kuume kwako yupo bibi arusi malkia aliyevaa dhahabu ya Ofiri.

10 Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,

10 Sikiliza, ewe binti, fikiri na utege sikio: Sahau watu wako na nyumba ya baba yako.

11 and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.

11 Mfalme ameshangazwa na uzuri wako; mheshimu, kwa kuwa yeye ni bwana wako.

12 The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.

12 Binti wa Tiro atakuletea zawadi, watu wenye utajiri watatafuta upendeleo wako.

13 All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.

13 Utukufu wote una binti mfalme katika chumba chake; vazi lake limefumwa kwa nyuzi za dhahabu.

14 In colorful garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions are brought before you.

14 Anaongozwa kwa mfalme, akiwa amevalia mavazi yaliyotariziwa, mabikira wenzake wanamfuata na wanaletwa kwako.

15 They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.

15 Wanaingizwa ndani kwa shangwe na furaha, na kuingia katika jumba la mfalme.

16 Your sons will succeed your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.

16 Wana wenu watachukua nafasi za baba zenu, mtawafanya wakuu katika nchi yote.

17 I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.

17 Nitadumisha kumbukumbu lako katika vizazi vyote, kwa hiyo mataifa watakusifu milele na milele.
