< Psalms 45 >

1 To him that excelleth on Shoshannim a song of love to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. Mine heart will vtter forth a good matter: I wil intreat in my workes of the King: my tongue is as the pen of a swift writer.
Inhliziyo yami iphuphuma ngendaba enhle; ngikhuluma ngezinto engizenzele inkosi; ulimi lwami lulusiba lombhali ophangisayo.
2 Thou art fayrer then the children of men: grace is powred in thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for euer.
Umuhle kulabantwana babantu; umusa uthululwe endebeni zakho; ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu ukubusisile kuze kube phakade.
3 Gird thy sword vpon thy thigh, O most mightie, to wit, thy worship and thy glory,
Bhinca inkemba yakho emlenzeni, qhawe, udumo lwakho lobukhosi bakho.
4 And prosper with thy glory: ride vpon the worde of trueth and of meekenes and of righteousnes: so thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
Lebukhosini bakho gada uphumulele, ngenxa yeqiniso lobumnene bokulunga; lesandla sakho sokunene sikufundise izinto ezesabekayo.
5 Thine arrowes are sharpe to pearce the heart of the Kings enemies: therefore the people shall fall vnder thee.
Imitshoko yakho ibukhali enhliziyweni yezitha zenkosi; izizwe zizakuwa ngaphansi kwakho.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnesse.
Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, Nkulunkulu, ngesaphakade laphakade; intonga yakho yobukhosi iyintonga yobuqotho.
7 Thou louest righteousnes, and hatest wickednesse, because God, euen thy God hath anoynted thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
Uthanda ukulunga, njalo uzonda ububi; ngenxa yalokho uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho, ukugcobile ngamafutha entokozo ngaphezu kwabanakwenu.
8 All thy garments smelll of myrrhe and aloes, and cassia, when thou commest out of the yuorie palaces, where they haue made thee glad.
Izembatho zakho zonke ziqholiwe ngemure lenhlaba lekhasiya; ezigodlweni zempondo zendlovu abakwenze wathokoza ngazo.
9 Kings daugthers were among thine honorable wiues: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in a vesture of golde of Ophir.
Amadodakazi amakhosi aphakathi kwabesifazana bakho abadumileyo; indlovukazi imi esandleni sokunene sakho yembethe igolide leOfiri.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine eare: forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house.
Zwana, ndodakazi, unakane, ubeke indlebe yakho; ukhohlwe abantu bakini lendlu kayihlo;
11 So shall the King haue pleasure in thy beautie: for he is thy Lord, and reuerence thou him.
khona inkosi izalangatha ubuhle bakho; ngoba iyinkosi yakho, njalo khothama kuyo.
12 And the daughter of Tyrus with the rich of the people shall doe homage before thy face with presents.
Lendodakazi yeTire ilesipho, labanothileyo ebantwini, bazancenga ubuso bakho.
13 The Kings daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of broydred golde.
Indodakazi yenkosi iyakhazimula yonke ngaphakathi, isembatho sayo singesegolide elelukiweyo.
14 She shalbe brought vnto the King in raiment of needle worke: the virgins that follow after her, and her companions shall be brought vnto thee.
Izalethwa enkosini yembethe isembatho esifekethisiweyo; izintombi eziyilandelayo, abangane bayo, zizalethwa kuwe.
15 With ioy and gladnes shall they be brought, and shall enter into the Kings palace.
Zizalethwa ngokuthaba lenjabulo, zizangena esigodlweni senkosi.
16 In steade of thy fathers shall thy children be: thou shalt make them princes through all the earth.
Esikhundleni saboyihlo kuzakuba ngamadodana akho, uzawabeka abe yiziphathamandla emhlabeni wonke.
17 I will make thy Name to be remembred through all generations: therefore shall the people giue thanks vnto thee world without ende.
Ibizo lakho ngizalenza likhunjulwe ezizukulwaneni zonke; ngenxa yalokho izizwe zizakudumisa kuze kube nini lanini.
