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.
Janjiño zao, ry kilakila ondatio; manokilaña ravembia, ze hene mpimone’ ty tane toy;
2 All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
Ty ambane naho ty ambone, ty mpañaleale miharo ami’ty rarake.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
Hivolan-kihitse ty vavako, vaho ho ereñeren-troko ty hilala.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
Hatokilako mb’am- pandrazañan-drehake ty sofiko. ho ventareko an-dokanga ty tafatòñoko,
5 Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
Ino ty hahahembañ’ ahiko an-tsan-kankàñe, ie miarikoboñe ahy ty hatsivokara’ o mpañonjo-tomitse amakoo,
6 They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
o mpiato amo fanaña’eoo, vaho mirengevok’ ami’ty habei’ o vara’eo?
7 No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
Leo ondaty raike, ndra manao akore, tsy hahavoavily ty ain-dongo’e, ndra hibanabana jebañe aman’Añahare ho aze—
8 Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
Loho sarotse ty vilin’ ai’e, tsy mete tsy hadoke kitro katroke:
9 And shall still live unto the end.
—t’ie ho veloñe nainai’e, tsy hahaoniñ’ i koboñey,
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:
ie oni’e te mihomake o mahihitseo; songa mikenkañe ty minè naho i dagola, vaho apo’e amo ila’eo ty vara’e.
11 And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
Ty fitsakorean-tro’ iareo t’ie tsy ho modo o akiba’eo, naho ty fimoneña’ iareo mb’an-tariratse iaby kitro añ’afe’e, ie atao’e amy añara’ey i tane’ey.
12 And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
Toe tsy mahatan-ty asi’e ondatio; le manahake o bibio t’ie mate.
13 This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
Izay ty fombà’ o sèretseo, naho o mandimbe iareoo, ze miantoke ty enta’ iareoo. Selà
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)
Hoe añondry iereo tinendry ho mb’an-kibory ao, ho mpiara’iareo ty havilasy; ho fehe’ o vañoñeo te maraindray; ho a’ i tsikeokeokey ty vinta’ iareo hihomak’ ao, tsy hanaña’ iareo akiba ka. (Sheol h7585)
Fe ho jebañen’ Añahare ami’ty haozara’ o kiborio ty fiaiko, le ho rambese’e. Selà (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
Ko hemban-drehe naho mihamaro ty vara’ ondaty, naho mitombo ty enge’ i anjomba’ey;
17 For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
F’ie mihomake, tsy eo ty hendese’e. tsy hañorik’ aze higodañe ao ty enge’e.
18 For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
Eka! nitata’e ty fiai’e te niveloñe: Nitsiririeñe t’ie niraorao.
19 He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
Homb’am-pimoneñan-droae’e ao re; tsy ho isa’e ka ty hazavàñe.
20 Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
T’indaty iasiañe, mete tsy maharendreke t’ie, manahake o bibio, hihomake.
