Psalms 49
1 Unto the end. A Psalm to the sons of Korah. Hear these things, all nations. Pay attention, all inhabitants of the world:
Aka mawt ham Korah ca rhoek kah tingtoenglung Pilnam boeih loh hekah he ya uh lah. Khosaknah dongkah khosa boeih loh hnatun uh.
2 whoever is earth-born, you sons of men, together as one, the rich and the poor.
Hlang capa rhoek long khaw, hlang tongpa rhoek long khaw, hlanglen neh khodaeng long khaw thikat la hnatunuh.
3 My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will speak prudence.
Ka ka loh cueihnah a thui vetih ka lungbuei poeknah loh a lungcuei om bitni.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable. I will open my case with the psaltery.
Ka hna he taengla ka kaeng vetih, ka olkael he rhotoeng neh ka thuicaih ni.
5 Why should I fear in the evil day? The iniquity at my heel will surround me.
Yoethaenah hnin ah ka khodil kathaesainah loh kai m'vael dae ba ham lae ka rhih eh?
6 Those who trust in their own strength and who glory in the multitude of their riches,
A thadueng dongah pangtung uh tih a khuehtawn a yet neh thangthen uh dae,
7 no brother redeems, nor will man buy back. He will not give to God his appeasement,
hlang loh a manuca te a lat khaw a lat thai moenih. A tlansum te Pathen taengah a paek thai moenih.
8 nor the price for the redemption of his soul. And he will labor continuously,
A hinglu kah tlansum tah kuelka tih kumhal a toeng.
9 and he will still live, until the end.
Te koihnih a yoeyah la hing pueng sui tih hlan khaw hmuh pawt sue.
10 He will not see death, when he sees the wise dying: the foolish and the senseless will perish together. And they will leave their riches to strangers.
Aka cueih rhoek long tah a duek te a hmuh. Aka ang neh kotalh khaw a milh vaengah a khuehtawn te hlang tloe ham a caehtak.
11 And their sepulchers will be their houses forever, their tabernacles from generation to generation. They have called their names in their own lands.
Amih kah poeknah nen tah a im te kumhal ah, a pohmuen te thawnpuei lamkah cadilcahma duela, om ni a ti uh tih tolhmuen te amih ming neh a khue uh.
12 And man, when he was held in honor, did not understand. He has been compared to the senseless beasts, and he has become like them.
Tedae hlang he umponah khaw a rhaehrhong moenih, rhamsa banglam ni a thuidoek tih a hmata.
13 This way of theirs is a scandal to them. And afterwards, they will delight in their mouth.
Tetl a amamih khosing tea uepnah tih amih kah olthui te a hnukbang rhoek loh a pom uh. (Selah)
14 They have been placed in Hell like sheep. Death will feed on them. And the just will have dominion over them in the morning. And their help will grow old in Hell for their glory. (Sheol h7585)
Amih te saelkhui kah boiva la tael uh vetih, dueknah loh a luem puei ni. Tedae mincang ah amih te aka thuem rhoek loh a taemrhai uh ni. A muei neh a lungpang a imhmuen lamloh saelkhui la hmawn ni. (Sheol h7585)
15 Even so, truly God will redeem my soul from the hand of Hell, when he will receive me. (Sheol h7585)
Tedae Pathen loh ka hinglu he saelkhui kut lamkah n'lat dongah kai he n'loh bit ni. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Do not be afraid, when a man will have been made rich, and when the glory of his house will have been multiplied.
Hlang pakhat loh boei tih a im kah thangpomnah loh pungtai cakhaw rhih boeh.
17 For when he dies, he will take nothing away, and his glory will not descend with him.
A duek vaengah pakhat khaw khuen mahpawh. A thangpomnah loh anih te suntlak puei mahpawh.
18 For his soul will be blessed in his lifetime, and he will admit to you when you do good to him.
A hing vaengah a hinglu te yoethen a paek tih namah te na hoeikhang vaengah nang uem uh dae,
19 He will even enter with the progeny of his fathers, but, even in eternity, he will not see the light.
A napa rhoek kah cadilcahma la cet vetih yoeyah la vangnah hmu uh mahpawh.
20 Man, when he was in honor, did not understand. He has been compared to the senseless beasts, and he has become like them.
Hlang he umponah neh om dae a yakming pawt atah rhamsa aka hmata rhoek bangla om.
