Psalms 49
1 Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core. Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
Kathutkung: Korah capanaw Tamimaya hetheh thai awh haw. Talai van kaawm e pueng thai awh haw.
2 All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
Ka rahnoum hoi ka rasang, ka tawnta hoi ka mathoe pueng cungtalah thai awh haw.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
Ka kâko ni lungangnae lawk a dei han. Hahoi, ka lungthin khopouknae ni panuethainae a poe han.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
Cingthuilawk koe lah ka hnâ ka pakeng vaiteh, lawk ka ru ka dei e hah, ka ratoung hoi ka cai sak han.
5 Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
Thoenae ni na kalup navah, bangkongmaw hnin kathout nah ka taki han.
6 They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
Ahnimouh teh amamae hnopai hah a kâuep awh teh, a tawnta awh e dawk ka kâoup awh nakunghai,
7 No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
amamae hmaunawngha apinihai ratang thai mahoeh. Ratangnae phu Cathut koe poe thai hoeh.
8 Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
Ahnimae hringnae ratang nahane aphu apap poung. Hatdawkvah, nâtuek hai poe hane khout thai hoeh.
9 And shall still live unto the end.
Ratang pawiteh, a yungyoe a hring han doeh. Pawknae koe phat mahoeh.
10 He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
Tamilungkaang hai a due. Hot patetvanlah, tamipathu hoi bangpuibangpa lah kaawm hoeh e hai a due van. Hahoi, hnopainaw hah ayânaw hanelah a ceitakhai awh tie hah a hmu awh.
11 And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
A lungthung hoi teh amamae im hah a yungyoe kangning hanelah a pouk awh. A onae im hah se pueng dawk kangning hanelah a pouk awh. Amamae ram hah a min a phu sak awh.
12 And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
Hatei, tami heh bari lah ao eiteh, kangning hoeh. Kahmakatanae koe ka phat e saring patetlah doeh ao.
13 This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
Hethateh tamipathunaw e lamthung doeh. Hahoi, a catounnaw hai a dei awh e patetlah ao awh.
14 They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory. (Sheol h7585)
A duenae hmuen koelah ceikhai e tu patetlah ao awh. Duenae ni a ca awh han. Tamikalannaw ni khodai toteh a uk awh han. A onae hmuen koehoi ahlanae hmuen koe a takthai meihawinae naw teh, phuen vah koung a pawk han. (Sheol h7585)
Hatei, ka hringnae hateh, Cathut ni phuen thaonae koehoi a ratang han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama ni na coe han. (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
Tami buet touh a tawnta teh, a imthungkhu bawilennae hoi hoehoe a kâthap navah, taket hanh.
17 For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a due toteh banghai sin thai kalawn mahoeh. A bawilennae ni hai kâbang sin kalawn mahoeh.
18 For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
A hring nathung yawhawi kacoepounge lah kâpouk nakunghai, na tawnta dawkvah tami ni ka pholen nakunghai,
19 He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
a napanaw ceinae koe a cei van vaiteh, nâtuek hai kho ang hmawt thai awh mahoeh toe.
20 Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
Tami ni bari e lah ao eiteh, panuethainae ka tawn hoeh e teh, saring kahmakata e patetlah doeh ao.
