Psalms 49
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all inhabitants of the world,
[Psalm Lun Tulik Natul Korah] Lohng ma inge, kowos nukewa! Porongo, kowos mwet in acn nukewa —
2 both low and high, rich and poor alike.
Mwet fulat ac mwet srisrik oana sie, Mwet kasrup ac oayapa mwet sukasrup.
3 My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding.
Nunak luk ac fah kalem; Nga ac fah kaskas ke kas in lalmwetmet.
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:
Nga fah nunku ke soakas uh, Ac aketeya kalmac ke nga srital ke harp uh.
5 Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?
Nga tia sangeng in pacl in ongoiya Ke mwet lokoalok elos rauniyula,
6 They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
Ku ke mwet koluk, su lulalfongi na ke mwe kasrup lalos, Elos ac konkin ke ma puspis lalos.
7 No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.
Sie mwet tia ku in sifacna molella; El tia ku in moli nu sin God ke moul lal,
8 For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,
Mweyen molin moul lun sie mwet arulana yokla. Ma el ac sang moli an tia ku in fal
9 that he should live on forever and not see decay.
In sang molella liki misa, Tuh elan ku in moul nwe tok.
10 For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.
Mwet nukewa ku in liye pac lah finne mwet lalmwetmet, elos ac misa pac, Oapana mwet lalfon ac mwet lofong. Elos nukewa ac misa ac filiya mwe kasrup lalos nu sin fwilin tulik natulos.
11 Their graves are their eternal homes— their dwellings for endless generations— even though their lands were their namesakes.
Kulyuk lalos pa lohm selos nu tok ma pahtpat; Pa ingan nien muta lalos nwe tok, Finne tuh oasr acn lalos sifacna meet.
12 But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
Fulat lun sie mwet tia ku in sruokilya liki misa; El ac misa pacna, oana ma orakrak nukewa.
13 This is the fate of the self-confident and their followers who endorse their sayings.
Liye ma sikyak nu selos su lulalfongi kaclos sifacna, Liye saflaiyalos su pwayekin mwe kasrup lalos —
14 Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in Sheol, far from their lofty abode. (Sheol h7585)
Elos ac misa pac oana sheep uh, Na Misa pa ac fah shepherd lalos. Mwet suwoswos elos fah kutangulosla, Ke manolos sa na kulawi In facl lun mwet misa, loesla liki acn selos. (Sheol h7585)
Tusruktu God El ac fah moliyula; El fah moliyula liki ku lun misa. (Sheol h7585)
16 Do not be amazed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.
Nik kom supwarla sie mwet el fin kasrupi, Ku mwe kasrup lal fin yokelik na;
17 For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his abundance will not follow him down.
El tia ku in us ma ingan ke el misa; Mwe kasrup lal tia ku in welul.
18 Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul— and men praise you when you prosper—
Mwet se finne insewowo in moul lal pacl inge, Ac kaksakinyuk el ke sripen el mwet eteyuk se,
19 he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.
El ac fah weang pacna mwet matu lal su misa meet, Ac som nu in acn lohsr ma pahtpat.
20 A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
Fulat lun sie mwet tia ku in sruokilya liki misa; El ac nuna misa pacna, oana ma orakrak nukewa.
