Psalms 45
1 For the leader; on shoshannim. Of the Korahites. A maskil. A love song. My heart is astir with beautiful words: I will sing a song, concerning the king, with tongue like the pen of a ready writer.
KE hoohu mai nei ko'u naau i ke mele maikai; Ke hai aku nei au i na mea a'u i hana'i no ke Alii; O ko'u alelo ka peni a me ka mea kakau wikiwiki.
2 Your beauty is more than mortal, grace is shed over your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.
Ua oi kou nani mamua o na keiki a kanaka: Ua nininiia ka maikai iloko o kou mau lehelehe; Nolaila, ua hoomaikai mau loa ke Akua ia oe.
3 Warrior, strap your sword on your thigh. What glory and splendour!
E kaei oe i kau pahikaua ma kou uha, e ka Mea mana, Me kou nani a me kou hanohano.
4 Good fortune attend you, as forth you ride in the cause of good faith, and as champion of justice. May your arm instruct you in deeds of dread.
A iloko o kou hanohano e holokaa pomaikai ai, No ka oiaio a me ke akahai, a me ka pono; A a ao iho kou lima akau ia oe i na mea weliweli
5 Sharp are your arrows; nations fall under you: pierced to the heart are the foes of the king.
Ua oi aku kou mau pua iloko o ka naau o ko ke alii poe enemi; Hina iho na kanaka malalo iho ou.
6 Your throne shall endure for ever and ever your royal sceptre a sceptre of equity.
O kou nohoalii, e ke Akua, e mau loa ana no ia: O ka hoailonamoi o kou aupuni. he hoailonamoi pono no ia.
7 Right you love and wrong you hate: therefore the Lord your God anoints you With oil of gladness above your fellows.
Makemake no oe i ka pono, A hoowahawaha no oe i ka hewa: Nolaila ke Akua, kou Akua i poni ai ia oe, Ma ka aila olioli maluna o kou mau hoa.
8 With myrrh, aloes, and cassia your robes are all fragrant, you are gladdened by music of ivory harps.
Ke aala pu mai nei kou mau kapa a pau i ka mura, a me ka aloe, a me ke kasia; Noloko mai o na halealii nihoelepani i hoohauoli ai lakou ia oe.
9 King’s daughters stand ready with jewels for you, at your right hand the queen in gold of Ophir.
O na kaikamahine a na'lii kekahi iwaena o kou mau wahine hanohano; Ma kou lima akau i ku mai ai ke alii wahine me ke gula noopira.
10 Listen, daughter, and see; and incline your ear: forget your folk and your father’s house.
E hoolohe mai, e ke kaikamahine, a e hoomanao, A e haliu mai i kou pepeiao; E hoopoina hoi i kou poe kanaka, a me ka hale o kou makuakane;
11 And when the king desires your beauty, bow to him, for he is your lord.
Pela hoi, e makemake nui ai ke alii i kou nani: No ka mea, oia kou Haku; E hoomana aku hoi oe ia ia.
12 So shall the Tyrians come with gifts, and the richest of people will do you homage.
O ke kaikamahine o Turo me ka makana; A o ka poe waiwai o na kanaka e imi i ka hooluolu ia oe.
13 The king’s daughter is glorious altogether, with dress of pearls inwrought with gold.
He nani loa maloko ke kaikamahine a ke alii; O kona kapa he gula i ulanaia no ia.
14 In many-coloured robes she is led to the king, with the virgin companions she brought in her train.
E laweia mai oia i ke alii iloko o na kapa hoonionioia; O na kaikamahine kona mau hoanoho, e hahai ana mamuli ona, E lawe pu ia mai lakou ia oe.
15 The king’s palace they enter with joy and rejoicing.
Me ka olioli, a me ka hauoli ana e laweia mai lakou: E komo no hoi lakou iloko o ko ke alii halealii:
16 May sons of yours take the place of your fathers, whom you will make princes in all the land.
Ma ka hakahaka o kou mau makua, malaila auanei kau mau keiki, Au e hoolilo ai i alii ma ka honua a pau.
17 Your name will I celebrate world without end, so that nations shall praise you for ever and ever.
E hoomaikai mau aku au i kou inoa i na hanauna a pau; Nolaila e hoolea na kanaka ia oe a mau loa.
