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,
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa namoota, isin hundi waan kana dhagaʼaa; warri addunyaa kana irra jiraattan hundinuu dhaggeeffadhaa;
2 Both low and high, Rich and poor together.
xinnaa fi guddaan, sooressii fi hiyyeessi walumaan dhaggeeffadhaa; kunis:
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
Afaan koo dubbii ogummaa dubbata; wanti ani garaatti yaadus hubannaa kenna.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
Gurra koo gara mammaaksaatti nan qabadha; hibboo koos baganaadhaan nan ibsadha.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?
Bara rakkinaa, yeroo gowwoomsitoonni hamoon na marsanitti, ani maaliifan sodaadha?
6 They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
Isaan qabeenya isaanii amanatu; guddina sooruma isaaniitiinis boonu.
7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him
Namni lubbuu nama gara biraa furu, yookaan gatii furii nama sanaa Waaqaaf baasu tokko iyyuu hin jiru;
8 (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever),
furiin lubbuu namaa gatii guddaa qabaatii; gatiin quufsaanis yoom iyyuu hin argamu;
9 That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
silaa inni bara baraan ni jiraata; hin tortorus ture.
10 For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
Akka ogeeyyiin duʼan namni hundinuu ni arga; gowwoonnii fi raatuwwanis akkasuma ni badu; qabeenya isaaniis warra kaaniif dhiisu.
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.
Isaan yoo lafa maqaa isaaniitiin waamamtu qabaatan illee, awwaalli isaanii bara baraan mana isaanii, dhalootaa hamma dhalootaattis iddoo boqonnaa isaanii taʼee hafa.
12 But man [being] in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
Namni garuu qabeenya qabaatu illee bara dheeraa hin jiraatu; inni akkuma bineensa duʼee baduu ti.
13 This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. (Selah)
Wanni namoota ofitti amanatanii fi warra isaan duukaa buʼanii dubbii isaanii hoʼisan eeggatu kanuma.
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)
Isaan akkuma hoolaa duʼaaf ramadamaniiru; duuti tiksee isaanii ti; toloonni ganamaan isaan irratti aangoo qabaatu; dhagni isaanii mana isaanii irraa fagaatee awwaala keessatti ni tortora; awwaallis mana jireenya isaanii ti. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Waaqni garuu lubbuu koo humna siiʼool jalaa baasa; inni dhugumaan ofitti na fudhata. (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased:
Yommuu namni tokko sooromu, yommuu ulfinni mana isaas guddatu hin sodaatin.
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
Inni yommuu duʼutti waanuma tokko illee fudhatee hin deemuutii; ulfinni isaas isa wajjin hin dhaqu.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself),
Inni bara jireenya isaa lubbuu isaa eebbisu iyyuu, yoo namoonni yeroo ati waan gaarii ofii keetii godhattutti si jajan illee,
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.
inni gara dhaloota abbootii isaa, gara warra gonkumaa deebiʼanii ifa jireenyaa hin arginee ni dhaqa.
20 Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.
Namni badhaadhaan hubannaa hin qabne, akkuma bineensaa duʼee bada.
