Mazmur 45
1 Mazmur kaum Korah. Nyanyian kasih. Untuk pemimpin kor. Menurut paduan nada: Bunga bakung. Kata-kata indah meluap dari hatiku, kupersembahkan laguku kepada raja. Laksana pena seorang pujangga mahir, lidahku siap mengucapkan syair.
For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.
2 Engkau yang paling tampan di antara manusia, kata-katamu penuh kebaikan, sebab itu engkau diberkati Allah untuk selama-lamanya.
You are more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on your lips: therefore God has blessed you for ever.
3 Ikatkan pedangmu di pinggang, hai raja perkasa, engkau sangat agung dan semarak!
Gird your sword upon your thigh, O Mighty One, in your comeliness, and in your beauty;
4 Majulah dengan gagah menuju kejayaan memperjuangkan kebenaran dan keadilan yang lembut; dengan kekuatanmu rebutlah kemenangan yang besar!
and bend [your bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall guide you wonderfully.
5 Panahmu yang tajam menembus jantung musuhmu, bangsa-bangsa jatuh di depan kakimu.
Your weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under you) [they are] in the heart of the king's enemies.
6 Allah memberi engkau kuasa untuk memerintah, kuasamu bertahan untuk selama-lamanya; dengan adil engkau memerintah rakyatmu.
Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.
7 Engkau mencintai yang benar dan membenci yang jahat; sebab itu, Allah, Allahmu telah memilih engkau, dan membahagiakan engkau melebihi raja-raja lainnya.
You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your fellows.
8 Pakaianmu berbau mur, gaharu dan cendana; pemain musik di istana gading membuat engkau gembira.
Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia [are exhaled] from your garments, [and] out of the ivory palaces,
9 Di antara dayang-dayang istana terdapat putri-putri raja. Di kanan takhta berdiri permaisuri dengan perhiasan emas murni.
with which kings' daughters have gladdened you for your honour: the queen stood by on your right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, [and] arrayed in various colours.
10 Hai Putri, dengarlah kata-kataku, lupakanlah bangsa dan kaum kerabatmu.
Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; forget also your people, and your father's house.
11 Kecantikanmu memikat hati raja, ia tuanmu, tunduklah kepadanya.
Because the king has desired your beauty; for he is your Lord.
12 Penduduk Tirus membawa persembahan bagimu; orang kaya berusaha mengambil hatimu.
And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate your favour.
13 Putri raja masuk dengan penuh semarak, gaunnya bersulam emas.
All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed [as she is] in golden fringed garments,
14 Dengan pakaian beraneka warna ia diarak kepada raja, diiringi para perawan, teman-temannya, mereka juga untuk raja.
in embroidered [clothing]: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to you.
15 Mereka bersorak-sorai dengan gembira waktu diantar masuk ke dalam istana raja!
They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.
16 Engkau, rajaku, akan mendapat banyak putra untuk menduduki takhta nenek moyangmu. Mereka akan kaujadikan penguasa atas seluruh bumi.
Instead of your fathers children are born to you: you shall make them princes over all the earth.
17 Dengan lagu ini kumasyhurkan engkau turun-temurun bangsa-bangsa akan memuji engkau selama-lamanya.
They shall make mention of your name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to you for ever, even for ever and ever.
