World English Bible
1ʻOku mapuna hake ʻi hoku loto ʻae meʻa lelei: te u lea ki he meʻa kuo u ngaohi ki he tuʻi: ko hoku ʻelelo ko e peni ki he tohi vave.
1My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
2ʻOku ke fakaʻofoʻofa lahi ʻi he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata: kuo lilingi ʻae ʻofa ki ho loungutu: ko ia kuo fakamonūʻia ai koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo lauikuonga.
2You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
3ʻE Fungani Māfimafi ke ke nonoʻo hoʻo heletā ki ho tuʻatenga, ʻi ho nāunau mo ho mālohi.
3Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and your majesty.
4Pea ʻi hoʻo māfimafi ke ke hāʻele monūʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi he moʻoni mo e angavaivai mo e māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe ako kiate koe ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakailifia.
4In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
5ʻOku māsila hoʻo ngaahi ngahau ʻi he loto ʻoe ngaahi fili ʻoe tuʻi; ʻoku tō ki lalo ʻae kakai ʻiate koe.
5Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.
6ʻE ʻOtua, ko ho nofoʻanga ʻoku lauikuonga pea taʻengata: ko e tokotoko ʻo ho puleʻanga ko e tokotoko māʻoniʻoni ia.
6Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
7ʻOku ke ʻofa ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea fehiʻa ki he angahala: ko ia ko e ʻOtua ko ho ʻOtua, kuo ne tākai ʻaki koe ʻae lolo ʻoe fiefia ʻo lahi hake ʻi ho kāinga.
7You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8ʻOku namu mula, mo ʻalosi, mo kāsia, ʻa ho ngaahi kofu kotoa pē, mei he ngaahi fale lei, ʻaia kuo nau fakafiefiaʻi koe.
8All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
9Naʻe ʻi hoʻo kau fefine ongolelei ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi: naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he koula mei Ofeli.
9Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
10Fakafanongo, ʻE ʻofefine, pea tokanga, ʻo fakatokangaʻi ho telinga; fakangaloʻi foki hoʻo kakai ʻaʻau, mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamai;
10Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.
11Ko ia ʻe manako lahi ai ʻae tuʻi ki ho hoihoifua: he ko ho ʻEiki ia; pea ke hū kiate ia.
11So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.
12Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Taia mo e meʻaʻofa; ko e kau koloaʻia ʻi he kakai te nau kumi lahi ki hoʻo ʻofa.
12The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.
13Ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku lelei lahi ʻi loto; ko hono ngaahi kofu kuo lalanga ʻaki ʻae koula.
13The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
14ʻE ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ʻi he kofu ʻoku matamatalelei hono tuitui: ko e kau tāupoʻou ko hono kaumeʻa ʻaia ʻoku muimui kiate ia ʻe omi ʻakinautolu kiate koe.
14She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
15ʻE omi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fiefia mo e nekeneka: te nau hū ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi.
15With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king’s palace.
16ʻE fetongi hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻe hoʻo fānau, ʻaia te ke fakanofo ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
16Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17Te u fai ke manatuʻi ʻa ho huafa ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē: ko ia ʻe fakafetaʻi ʻae kakai kiate koe ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.
17I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
