Psalmi 49
1 Zborovođi. Sinova Korahovih. Psalam. Poslušajte ovo, svi narodi, čujte, svi stanovnici zemlje,
Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world:
2 vi, djeco puka, i vi, odličnici, bogati i siromašni zajedno!
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 Moja će usta zboriti mudrost, i moje srce misli razumne.
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4 K poučnoj izreci priklonit ću uho, uz harfu ću izložit' svoju zagonetku.
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Što da se bojim u danima nesreće kad me opkoli zloba izdajica
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6 koji se u blago svoje uzdaju i silnim se hvale bogatstvom?
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 TÓa nitko sebe ne može otkupit' ni za se dati Bogu otkupninu:
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 životu je cijena previsoka, i nikada je neće platiti
(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases for ever: )
9 tko želi živjeti dovijeka i ne vidjeti jamu grobnu.
That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10 Jer, i mudri umiru, pogiba i luđak i bezumnik: bogatstvo svoje ostavlja drugima.
For he sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Grobovi im kuće zasvagda, stanovi njihovi od koljena do koljena, sve ako se zemlje nazivale imenima njihovim.
Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.
Nevertheless man being in honour abides not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 Takav je put onih koji se ludo uzdaju, to je konac onih koji uživaju u sreći:
This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. (Selah)
14 Poput stada redaju se u Podzemlju, smrt im je pastir, a dobri njima vladaju. Njihova će lika brzo nestati, Podzemlje će im biti postojbina. (Sheol h7585)
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. (Sheol h7585)
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Ne boj se ako se tko obogati i ako se poveća blago doma njegova:
Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 kad umre, ništa neće ponijeti sa sobom, i blago njegovo neće s njime sići.
For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Ako se u životu držao sretnim - “Govorit će se da ti je dobro bilo!” -
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well to yourself.
19 i on će doći u skup otaca svojih, gdje svjetlosti više vidjeti neće.
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.
Man that is in honour, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.
