Psalms 49
1 To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all 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 men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike.
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 mine ear to a parable, I will open my riddle upon the harp.
E haliu aku au i kuu pepeiao i ka olelo nane; E hoomaka au i kuu mele ma ka lira.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, [when] the iniquity of my supplanters encompasseth me? —
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 They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance 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 soul is costly, and must be given up for ever, )
(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 perpetually, [and] not see corruption.
I ola mau loa oia, a i ole hoi e ike i ka palaho.
10 For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they 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 for ever, their dwelling-places from generation to generation: they call the 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 Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: 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 they that come after them delight in 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 Like sheep are they laid in Sheol: Death feedeth on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their comeliness shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for them. (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 afraid when a man becometh 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 dieth, 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 he blessed his soul in his lifetime, — and men will praise thee when thou doest well to 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 It shall go to the generation of his fathers: they shall never see light.
E hele no oia i ka hanauna o kona mau makua; Aole lakou e ike i ka malamalama.
20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth 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.
