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:
もろもろの民よきけ賤きも貴きも富るも貧きもすべて地にすめる者よ なんぢらともに耳をそばだてよ
2 Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike.
もろもろの民よきけ賤きも貴きも富るも貧きもすべて地にすめる者よ なんぢらともに耳をそばだてよ
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding:
わが口はかしこきことをかたり わが心はさときことを思はん
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable, I will open my riddle upon the harp.
われ耳を喩言にかたぶけ琴をならしてわが幽玄なる語をときあらはさん
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, [when] the iniquity of my supplanters encompasseth me? —
わが踵にちかかる不義のわれを打圍むわざはひの日もいかで懼るることあらんや
6 They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance of their riches. ...
おのが富をたのみ財おほきを誇るもの
7 None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him,
たれ一人おのが兄弟をあがなふことあたはず之がために贖價を神にささげ
8 (For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever, )
之をとこしへに生存へしめて朽ざらしむることあたはず（霊魂をあがなふには費いとおほくして此事をとこしへに捨置ざるを得ざればなり）
9 That he should still live perpetually, [and] not see corruption.
之をとこしへに生存へしめて朽ざらしむることあたはず（霊魂をあがなふには費いとおほくして此事をとこしへに捨置ざるを得ざればなり）
10 For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they leave their wealth to others.
そは智きものも死 おろかものも獣心者もひとしくほろびてその富を他人にのこすことは常にみるところなり
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.
かれら竊におもふ わが家はとこしへに存りわがすまひは世々にいたらんと かれらはその地におのが名をおはせたり
12 Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
されど人は譽のなかに永くとどまらず亡びうする獣のごとし
13 This their way is their folly, yet they that come after them delight in their sayings. (Selah)
斯のごときは愚かなるものの途なり 然はあれど後人はその言をよしとせん (セラ)
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)
かれらは羊のむれのごとくに陰府のものと定めらる 死これが牧者とならん直きもの朝にかれらををさめん その美容は陰府にほろぼされて宿るところなかるべし (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
されど神われを接たまふべければわが霊魂をあがなひて陰府のちからより脱かれしめたまはん (セラ) (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased:
人のとみてその家のさかえくははらんとき汝おそるるなかれ
17 For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him.
かれの死るときは何一つたづさへゆくことあたはず その榮はこれにしたがひて下ることをせざればなり
18 Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, — and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, —
かかる人はいきながらふるほどに己がたましひを祝するとも みづからを厚うするがゆゑに人々なんぢをほむるとも
19 It shall go to the generation of his fathers: they shall never see light.
なんぢ列祖の世にゆかん かれらはたえて光をみざるべし
20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
尊貴なかにありて暁らざる人はほろびうする獣のごとし
