Psalms 49
1 Hear this, all ye peoples. Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
E HOOLOHE mai i keia, e na kanaka a pau: E haliu maikai i ka pepeiao, e ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ke ao nei:
2 both low and high, rich and poor together.
Na mea haahaa a me na mea kiekie, Pau pu hoi ka poe waiwai, a me ka poe waiwai ole.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
E olelo aku kuu waha i ke akamai; A ma ka naauao ka manao ana o ko'u naau.
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
E haliu aku au i kuu pepeiao i ka olelo nane; E hoomaka au i kuu mele ma ka lira.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels encompasses me about?
O ke aha kuu mea e makau ai, i na la ino, E hoopuni mai ai ka poe ku e malu mai ia'u?
6 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches,
O ka poe hilinai i ko lakou ikaika iho, A i hoomaikai ia lakou iho no ka nui o ko lakou waiwai;
7 none can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him
Aohe mea o lakou e hiki ia ia ke hoopakele i kona hoahanau; Aole hoi e haawi i ka uku hoola i ke Akua nona;
8 (for the redemption of their life is costly, and it fails forever),
(No ka mea, o ka hoola ana i ko lakou uhane, he nui ke kumukuai; A ua oki mau loa no ia; )
9 that he should still live always, that he should not see corruption.
I ola mau loa oia, a i ole hoi e ike i ka palaho.
10 For he shall see it. Wise men die. The fool and the brutish alike perish, and leave their wealth to others.
No ka mea, ua ike no ia ua make na kanaka naauao, Pela hoi ua make ka mea naaupo a me ka mea manao ole, A waiho hoi lakou i ko lakou waiwai no na mea e.
11 Their inward thought is that their houses are forever, their dwelling-places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names.
O ko lakou manao oloko e mau loa ko lakou mau hale, A me ko lakou mau wahi e noho ai ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku: Mamuli o ko lakou inoa iho i kapa ai lakou i ko lakou mau aina.
12 Even a man in splendor does not abide. He is like the beasts that perish.
Aka, o ke kanaka iloko o ka hanohano, aole i mau; Ua like ia me na holoholona i hoopauia.
13 This their way is their folly. Yet after them men approve their sayings. (Selah)
O keia aoao o lakou o ko lakou lapuwale no ia: Aka, ua hoopono ko lakou mau hope i ko lakou mau olelo. (Sila)
14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for it. (Sheol h7585)
Me he mau hipa la ua waihoia lakou i ka luakupapau: E ai no ka make ia lakou; E lanakila ka poe pono maluna o lakou i ke kakahiaka; A e pau e ko lakou nani iloko o ka luakupapau, mai kona wahi i noho ai. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Aka, e hoopakele ke Akua i kuu uhane i ka lima o ka malu o ka make; No ka mea, e hookipa no oia ia'u. (Sila) (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.
Mai makau oe i ka waiwai nui ana o kekahi, I ka wa e mahuahua ai ka nani o kona hale;
17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.
No ka mea, i kona make ana, aohe mea kana e lawe pu ai; Aole e iho kona nani mamuli ona.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul (and men praise thee, when thou do well for thyself),
Aka hoi, i kona ola ana, ua hoomaikai oia i kona uhane; A e mahalo ae na kanaka ia oe i kou wa e hana maikai ai ia oe iho.
19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
E hele no oia i ka hanauna o kona mau makua; Aole lakou e ike i ka malamalama.
20 A man who is in splendor, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.
O ke kanaka iloko o ka hanohano, me ka naauao ole, Ua like ia me na holoholona i hookiia.
