Psalms 49
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Heare this, all ye people: giue eare, all ye that dwell in the world,
Kathutkung: Korah capanaw Tamimaya hetheh thai awh haw. Talai van kaawm e pueng thai awh haw.
2 As well lowe as hie, both rich and poore.
Ka rahnoum hoi ka rasang, ka tawnta hoi ka mathoe pueng cungtalah thai awh haw.
3 My mouth shall speake of wisdome, and the meditation of mine heart is of knowledge.
Ka kâko ni lungangnae lawk a dei han. Hahoi, ka lungthin khopouknae ni panuethainae a poe han.
4 I will incline mine eare to a parable, and vtter my graue matter vpon the harpe.
Cingthuilawk koe lah ka hnâ ka pakeng vaiteh, lawk ka ru ka dei e hah, ka ratoung hoi ka cai sak han.
5 Wherefore should I feare in the euil dayes, when iniquitie shall compasse me about, as at mine heeles?
Thoenae ni na kalup navah, bangkongmaw hnin kathout nah ka taki han.
6 They trust in their goods, and boast them selues 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 Yet a man can by no meanes redeeme his brother: he can not giue his raunsome to God,
amamae hmaunawngha apinihai ratang thai mahoeh. Ratangnae phu Cathut koe poe thai hoeh.
8 (So precious is the redemption of their soules, and the continuance for euer)
Ahnimae hringnae ratang nahane aphu apap poung. Hatdawkvah, nâtuek hai poe hane khout thai hoeh.
9 That he may liue still for euer, and not see the graue.
Ratang pawiteh, a yungyoe a hring han doeh. Pawknae koe phat mahoeh.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, and also that the ignorant and foolish perish, and leaue their riches for others.
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 Yet they thinke, their houses, and their habitations shall continue for euer, euen from generation to generation, and call 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 But man shall not continue in honour: he is like the beastes that die.
Hatei, tami heh bari lah ao eiteh, kangning hoeh. Kahmakatanae koe ka phat e saring patetlah doeh ao.
13 This their way vttereth their foolishnes: yet their posteritie delite in their talke. (Selah)
Hethateh tamipathunaw e lamthung doeh. Hahoi, a catounnaw hai a dei awh e patetlah ao awh.
14 Like sheepe they lie in graue: death deuoureth them, and the righteous shall haue domination ouer them in the morning: for their beautie shall consume, when they shall goe from their house to graue. (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)
15 But God shall deliuer my soule from the power of the graue: for he will receiue me. (Selah) (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 afrayd when one is made rich, and when the glory of his house is increased.
Tami buet touh a tawnta teh, a imthungkhu bawilennae hoi hoehoe a kâthap navah, taket hanh.
17 For he shall take nothing away when he dieth, neither shall his pompe descende after him.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a due toteh banghai sin thai kalawn mahoeh. A bawilennae ni hai kâbang sin kalawn mahoeh.
18 For while he liued, he reioyced himselfe: and men will prayse thee, when thou makest much of thy selfe.
A hring nathung yawhawi kacoepounge lah kâpouk nakunghai, na tawnta dawkvah tami ni ka pholen nakunghai,
19 He shall enter into the generation of his fathers, and they shall not liue for euer.
a napanaw ceinae koe a cei van vaiteh, nâtuek hai kho ang hmawt thai awh mahoeh toe.
20 Man is in honour, and vnderstandeth not: he is like to beasts that perish.
Tami ni bari e lah ao eiteh, panuethainae ka tawn hoeh e teh, saring kahmakata e patetlah doeh ao.
