اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 45

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «ٱلسُّوسَنِّ». لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. قَصِيدَةٌ. تَرْنِيمَةُ مَحَبَّةٍ فَاضَ قَلْبِي بِكَلَامٍ صَالِحٍ. مُتَكَلِّمٌ أَنَا بِإِنْشَائِي لِلْمَلِكِ. لِسَانِي قَلَمُ كَاتِبٍ مَاهِرٍ.

For the Leader; upon Shoshannim; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I say: 'My work is concerning a king'; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

٢ 2 أَنْتَ أَبْرَعُ جَمَالًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ. ٱنْسَكَبَتِ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ عَلَى شَفَتَيْكَ، لِذَلِكَ بَارَكَكَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

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

٣ 3 تَقَلَّدْ سَيْفَكَ عَلَى فَخْذِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَّارُ، جَلَالَكَ وَبَهَاءَكَ.

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

٤ 4 وَبِجَلَالِكَ ٱقْتَحِمِ. ٱرْكَبْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلدَّعَةِ وَٱلْبِرِّ، فَتُرِيَكَ يَمِينُكَ مَخَاوِفَ.

And in thy majesty prosper, ride on, in behalf of truth and meekness and righteousness; and let thy right hand teach thee tremendous things.

٥ 5 نَبْلُكَ ٱلْمَسْنُونَةُ فِي قَلْبِ أَعْدَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. شُعُوبٌ تَحْتَكَ يَسْقُطُونَ.

Thine arrows are sharp — the peoples fall under thee — they sink into the heart of the king's enemies.

٦ 6 كُرْسِيُّكَ يَا ٱللهُ إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ. قَضِيبُ ٱسْتِقَامَةٍ قَضِيبُ مُلْكِكَ.

Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

٧ 7 أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلْبِرَّ وَأَبْغَضْتَ ٱلْإِثْمَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ مَسَحَكَ ٱللهُ إِلَهُكَ بِدُهْنِ ٱلِٱبْتِهَاجِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ رُفَقَائِكَ.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

٨ 8 كُلُّ ثِيَابِكَ مُرٌّ وَعُودٌ وَسَلِيخَةٌ. مِنْ قُصُورِ ٱلْعَاجِ سَرَّتْكَ ٱلْأَوْتَارُ.

Myrrh, and aloes, and cassia are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

٩ 9 بَنَاتُ مُلُوكٍ بَيْنَ حَظِيَّاتِكَ. جُعِلَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَةُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ بِذَهَبِ أُوفِيرٍ.

Kings' daughters are among thy favourites; at thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

١٠ 10 اِسْمَعِي يَا بِنْتُ وَٱنْظُرِي، وَأَمِيلِي أُذُنَكِ، وَٱنْسَيْ شَعْبَكِ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكِ،

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

١١ 11 فَيَشْتَهِيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ حُسْنَكِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ سَيِّدُكِ فَٱسْجُدِي لَهُ.

So shall the king desire thy beauty; for he is thy lord; and do homage unto him.

١٢ 12 وَبِنْتُ صُورٍ أَغْنَى ٱلشُّعُوبِ تَتَرَضَّى وَجْهَكِ بِهَدِيَّةٍ.

And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people shall entreat thy favour with a gift.'

١٣ 13 كُلُّهَا مَجْدٌ ٱبْنَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي خِدْرِهَا. مَنْسُوجَةٌ بِذَهَبٍ مَلَابِسُهَا.

All glorious is the king's daughter within the palace; her raiment is of chequer work inwrought with gold.

١٤ 14 بِمَلَابِسَ مُطَرَّزَةٍ تُحْضَرُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ. في إِثْرِهَا عَذَارَى صَاحِبَاتُهَا. مُقَدَّمَاتٌ إِلَيْكَ.

She shall be led unto the king on richly woven stuff; the virgins her companions in her train being brought unto thee.

١٥ 15 يُحْضَرْنَ بِفَرَحٍ وَٱبْتِهَاجٍ. يَدْخُلْنَ إِلَى قَصْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

They shall be led with gladness and rejoicing; they shall enter into the king's palace.

١٦ 16 عِوَضًا عَنْ آبَائِكَ يَكُونُ بَنُوكَ، تُقِيمُهُمْ رُؤَسَاءَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons, whom thou shalt make princes in all the land.

١٧ 17 أَذْكُرُ ٱسْمَكَ فِي كُلِّ دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ تَحْمَدُكَ ٱلشُّعُوبُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

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