اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 45

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «ٱلسُّوسَنِّ». لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. قَصِيدَةٌ. تَرْنِيمَةُ مَحَبَّةٍ فَاضَ قَلْبِي بِكَلَامٍ صَالِحٍ. مُتَكَلِّمٌ أَنَا بِإِنْشَائِي لِلْمَلِكِ. لِسَانِي قَلَمُ كَاتِبٍ مَاهِرٍ.

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.

٢ 2 أَنْتَ أَبْرَعُ جَمَالًا مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ. ٱنْسَكَبَتِ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ عَلَى شَفَتَيْكَ، لِذَلِكَ بَارَكَكَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

Your beauty is more than mortal, grace is shed over your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.

٣ 3 تَقَلَّدْ سَيْفَكَ عَلَى فَخْذِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَّارُ، جَلَالَكَ وَبَهَاءَكَ.

Warrior, strap your sword on your thigh. What glory and splendour!

٤ 4 وَبِجَلَالِكَ ٱقْتَحِمِ. ٱرْكَبْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلدَّعَةِ وَٱلْبِرِّ، فَتُرِيَكَ يَمِينُكَ مَخَاوِفَ.

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.

٥ 5 نَبْلُكَ ٱلْمَسْنُونَةُ فِي قَلْبِ أَعْدَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. شُعُوبٌ تَحْتَكَ يَسْقُطُونَ.

Sharp are your arrows; nations fall under you: pierced to the heart are the foes of the king.

٦ 6 كُرْسِيُّكَ يَا ٱللهُ إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ. قَضِيبُ ٱسْتِقَامَةٍ قَضِيبُ مُلْكِكَ.

Your throne shall endure for ever and ever your royal sceptre a sceptre of equity.

٧ 7 أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلْبِرَّ وَأَبْغَضْتَ ٱلْإِثْمَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ مَسَحَكَ ٱللهُ إِلَهُكَ بِدُهْنِ ٱلِٱبْتِهَاجِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ رُفَقَائِكَ.

Right you love and wrong you hate: therefore the Lord your God anoints you With oil of gladness above your fellows.

٨ 8 كُلُّ ثِيَابِكَ مُرٌّ وَعُودٌ وَسَلِيخَةٌ. مِنْ قُصُورِ ٱلْعَاجِ سَرَّتْكَ ٱلْأَوْتَارُ.

With myrrh, aloes, and cassia your robes are all fragrant, you are gladdened by music of ivory harps.

٩ 9 بَنَاتُ مُلُوكٍ بَيْنَ حَظِيَّاتِكَ. جُعِلَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَةُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ بِذَهَبِ أُوفِيرٍ.

King’s daughters stand ready with jewels for you, at your right hand the queen in gold of Ophir.

١٠ 10 اِسْمَعِي يَا بِنْتُ وَٱنْظُرِي، وَأَمِيلِي أُذُنَكِ، وَٱنْسَيْ شَعْبَكِ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيكِ،

Listen, daughter, and see; and incline your ear: forget your folk and your father’s house.

١١ 11 فَيَشْتَهِيَ ٱلْمَلِكُ حُسْنَكِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ سَيِّدُكِ فَٱسْجُدِي لَهُ.

And when the king desires your beauty, bow to him, for he is your lord.

١٢ 12 وَبِنْتُ صُورٍ أَغْنَى ٱلشُّعُوبِ تَتَرَضَّى وَجْهَكِ بِهَدِيَّةٍ.

So shall the Tyrians come with gifts, and the richest of people will do you homage.

١٣ 13 كُلُّهَا مَجْدٌ ٱبْنَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي خِدْرِهَا. مَنْسُوجَةٌ بِذَهَبٍ مَلَابِسُهَا.

The king’s daughter is glorious altogether, with dress of pearls inwrought with gold.

١٤ 14 بِمَلَابِسَ مُطَرَّزَةٍ تُحْضَرُ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ. في إِثْرِهَا عَذَارَى صَاحِبَاتُهَا. مُقَدَّمَاتٌ إِلَيْكَ.

In many-coloured robes she is led to the king, with the virgin companions she brought in her train.

١٥ 15 يُحْضَرْنَ بِفَرَحٍ وَٱبْتِهَاجٍ. يَدْخُلْنَ إِلَى قَصْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

The king’s palace they enter with joy and rejoicing.

١٦ 16 عِوَضًا عَنْ آبَائِكَ يَكُونُ بَنُوكَ، تُقِيمُهُمْ رُؤَسَاءَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

May sons of yours take the place of your fathers, whom you will make princes in all the land.

١٧ 17 أَذْكُرُ ٱسْمَكَ فِي كُلِّ دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ تَحْمَدُكَ ٱلشُّعُوبُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

Your name will I celebrate world without end, so that nations shall praise you for ever and ever.
