Psalms 49
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
Nangmih thlangkhqi boeih aw, ve ve za unawh taw; ve khawmdek awh ak awmkhqi boeih aw ngai lah uh,
2 Both low and high, Rich and poor together.
Ak nem ak sang, boei khawdengkhqi boeih:
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
Kam kha ing cyihnaak awi kqawn kawmsaw; kak kawlung khuiawh kaw awi ing zaksimnaak ni pe kaw.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
Awicyih benna kang haa keng kawng nyng saw; tingtoeng ing kak awi rylh ce kqawncaih kawng nyng.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?
Khawnghi amak leek a pha law awh kawtih kqih nawh, qaai ak kqawn thlakche khqi –
6 They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
a mimah a boeinaak ak ypnaak thlangkhqi ingkaw a boeinaak awh ak oek qu thlangkhqi ing anik chung khoep awh kawtih kak kqih kaw?
7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him
U ingawm thlang a hqingnaak am hul thai nawh anih aham Khawsa venawh hulnaak a phu awm am pe thai hy-
8 (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever),
hqing thaawngnaak a phu ve tlo soeih nawh, ikawmyih a phu pek ingawm am khoek nawh-
9 That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
thlang ing kumqui dy hqing nawh ama thu naak aham.
10 For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
Thlakcyi a thih awm thlang boeih ing hu hy; thlak qaw ikaw amak sim thlang ing ang amyihna qeeng haih unawh thlang aham nani kawn ce ami ceh taak uh.
11 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.
A mimah ingtaw a mimah ang ming ing qamkhqi ce ta lawt hlai uhy, ami phyikhqi ni kumqui dy ami awmnaak imkhqi na awm nawh, amak dyt qoe ami cadil dyna ami awmnaak hun na awm loet hy.
12 But man [being] in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
Thlanghqing ve, boei seiawm, am cak loet hy; qamsa ak qeeng ing ni a ming myih hy.
13 This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. (Selah)
Amah ingkaw amah ak yp qunaak khqi taw cemyihna awm kawm uh, anih ak awi cangna nawh anih a hu awh ak bat thlangkhqi awm cemyihna awm kawm uh.
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)
Tuu amyihna cekkhqi a dytnaak taw phyi mai ni, thihnaak ing a mingmih ce hqin khqi kaw. Thlak dyngkhqi ing cekkhqi ce mymcang hqit awh uk kawm usaw; cekkhqi a myi ce phyi awh ni a thu hly, a boeinaak im nu awhkawng hla hawh kaw. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Cehlai, Khawsa ing ka hqingnaak ve phyi khui awhkawng thaawng kawmsaw; amah a venna ni ceh pyi kaw. (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased:
Thlang ce khawhthem zen nawh, a ip khuiawh ik-oeih a taai law awh ce koeh kqih paqap;
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
A thih awhkaw pynoet ca awm khyn vang am ti a he hy, a taak khawhthem ing am nuk hqut tikaw.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself),
A hqing tloek awhtaw a zoseen soeih na ngai qu nawh – na boei tloek awhtaw thlang ing nim kyih hlai hy-
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.
a pakhqi a cadil ce ni ak bawng hly lawt hy, hqing vangnaak am hu voel qoe tikaw.
20 Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.
Zaaksimnaak taak kaana ak boei thlang taw qamsa ak qeeng ing ni a ning myih.
