1
Moyo wangu umefurika kwa neno jema, Mimi nasema niliyomfanyizia mfalme; Ulimi wangu ni kalamu ya mwandishi mstadi.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
2
Wewe u mzuri sana kuliko wanadamu; Neema imemiminiwa midomoni mwako, Kwa hiyo Mungu amekubariki hata milele.
You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.
3
Jifungie upanga wako pajani, wewe uliye hodari, Utukufu ni wako na fahari ni yako.
Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.
4
Katika fahari yako usitawi uendelee Kwa ajili ya kweli na upole na haki Na mkono wako wa kuume Utakufundisha mambo ya kutisha.
In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
5
Mishale yako ni mikali, watu huanguka chini yako; Imo mioyoni mwa adui za mfalme.
Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.
6
Kiti chako cha enzi, Mungu, ni cha milele na milele, Fimbo ya ufalme wako ni fimbo ya adili.
Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7
Umeipenda haki; Umeichukia dhuluma. Kwa hiyo MUNGU, Mungu wako, amekupaka mafuta, Mafuta ya furaha kuliko wenzako.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.
8
Mavazi yako yote hunukia manemane Na udi na mdalasini. Katika majumba ya pembe Vinubi vimekufurahisha.
All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
9
Binti za wafalme wamo Miongoni mwa akina bibi wako wastahiki. Mkono wako wa kuume amesimama malkia Amevaa dhahabu ya Ofiri.
The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.
10
Sikia, binti, utazame, utege sikio lako, Uwasahau watu wako na nyumba ya baba yako.
Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,
11
Naye mfalme atautamani uzuri wako, Maana ndiye bwana wako, nawe umsujudie.
and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.
12
Na binti Tiro analeta kipawa chake, Nao matajiri wa watu watajipendekeza kwako.
The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.
13
Binti mfalme yumo ndani ana fahari tupu, Mavazi yake ni ya nyuzi za dhahabu.
All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.
14
Atapelekwa kwa mfalme Na mavazi yaliyofumwa kwa uzuri. Wanawali wenzake wanaomfuata, Watapelekwa kwako.
In colorful garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions are brought before you.
15
Watapelekwa kwa furaha na shangwe, Na kuingia katika nyumba ya mfalme.
They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.
16
Badala ya baba zako watakuwapo watoto wako, Utawafanya kuwa wakuu katika nchi zote.
Your sons will succeed your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
17
Jina lako nitalifanya kuwa kumbukumbu Katika vizazi vyote. Kwa hiyo mataifa watakushukuru Milele na milele.
I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
