Psalms 45
1 In my inner being I am stirred by a beautiful message which will be sung to the king. The words of this message will be written with a pen by me, a skilled writer.
Au maître chantre. En schoschanim. Hymne des fils de Coré. Chant des amours. Il jaillit de mon cœur un propos excellent. Je dis: Mon œuvre est pour le Roi!
2 [O King], you are the most handsome man in the world, and you always speak [MTY] eloquently, because God has always blessed you.
Que ma langue soit le style d'un écrivain rapide! En beauté tu surpasses les enfants des hommes, la grâce est répandue sur tes lèvres: aussi Dieu te bénit éternellement.
3 You who are a mighty warrior, put on your sword! You are glorious and majestic.
Guerrier, ceins à tes flancs ton épée, ta parure et ta gloire!
4 Ride on like a great chief to defend the truth that you speak and the fair decisions that you make! Because you are strong [MTY], you will do awesome deeds.
et ta gloire!… Monte sur ton char! triomphe pour la vérité, la bonté, la justice! et que ta droite te montre les exploits terribles!
5 Your arrows are sharp, and they pierce the hearts of your enemies. Soldiers of many nations will fall dead at your feet.
Tes flèches acérées (des peuples tomberont sous tes coups) iront au cœur des ennemis du Roi.
6 The kingdom [MTY] that God will give to you will remain forever. You rule [MTY] people justly.
Ton trône, Dieu! est permanent, éternel, le sceptre de ton empire est un sceptre équitable.
7 You love right actions, and you hate evil actions. Therefore God, your God, has chosen [MTY] you [to be king] and caused you to be happier [MET] than any other king.
Tu aimes la justice, et tu hais l'impiété: aussi, Dieu! ton Dieu par l'onction de l'huile d'allégresse te distingua de tes pairs.
8 The perfume of various spices is on your robes. [People] (entertain you/make you happy) in ivory palaces by playing stringed instruments.
La myrrhe, et l'aloès, et le laurier, parfument tes vêtements; des palais d'ivoire le son des harpes vient te réjouir.
9 Among the women who stay near you [EUP] stay are daughters of [other] kings. And at your right hand stands [your bride], the queen, wearing beautiful ornaments of gold that comes from Ophir.
Les filles des rois sont parmi tes bien-aimées; la Reine est à ta droite, parée d'or d'Ophir.
10 [Now I will say something] to your bride: Listen to me carefully [DOU]! Forget the people who live in your home country, forget your relatives!
Ecoute, ma fille, et considère et prête l'oreille! Oublie ton peuple et la maison de ton père!
11 Because you are [very], the king will desire [to sleep with] [EUP] you. He is your master, so you must obey him.
Le Roi désire ta beauté; puisqu'il est ton Seigneur, rends-lui ton hommage!
12 The people from Tyre [city] will bring gifts to you; their rich people will try to persuade you to do favors for them.
Et la fille de Tyr, la plus riche des nations, par des offrandes briguera ta faveur.
13 [O king], your bride will be entering the palace wearing beautiful robes made from gold thread.
Dans toute sa splendeur, en face de l'entrée, la fille royale est assise; sa robe est un brocart d'or.
14 While she is wearing a gown that has many colors, her companions will lead her to you. She will have many other young women who accompany her.
Sur des tapis diaprés elle est conduite au Roi; à sa suite, les vierges ses compagnes te sont amenées;
15 They will be very joyful [DOU] as they are led along to enter your palace.
escortées de joie et d'allégresse, elles entrent dans le palais du Roi.
16 Some day, your sons and your grandsons will become kings, just like your ancestors were. You will enable them to become rulers in many countries [HYP].
A tes pères succéderont tes fils; tu les établiras princes par toute la terre.
17 And as for me, I will enable people in every generation to remember the great things that you [MTY] have done, and people will praise you forever.
Je rappellerai ton nom d'âge en âge: aussi les peuples te loueront toujours, à jamais.
