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,
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Nou tout, koute sa byen. Louvri zòrèy nou, nou menm k'ap viv toupatou sou latè,
2 As well lowe as hie, both rich and poore.
gran kou piti, rich kou pòv.
3 My mouth shall speake of wisdome, and the meditation of mine heart is of knowledge.
Mwen pral ban nou bon konsèy. Sa ki nan kè m' se bagay ki gen sans.
4 I will incline mine eare to a parable, and vtter my graue matter vpon the harpe.
M'ap louvri zòrèy mwen pou m' tande parabòl la. Mwen pral esplike l' ban nou antan m'ap jwe mizik.
5 Wherefore should I feare in the euil dayes, when iniquitie shall compasse me about, as at mine heeles?
Poukisa pou m' ta pè, lè jou malè a rive, lè moun ki pa vle wè m' yo sènen m' toupatou ak move lide nan tèt yo?
6 They trust in their goods, and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches.
Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan byen latè, moun k'ap fè grandizè pou richès yo genyen,
7 Yet a man can by no meanes redeeme his brother: he can not giue his raunsome to God,
pa gen yonn ladan yo ki ka bay senk kòb pou delivre frè yo, ni ki ka peye Bondye pou l' delivre yo.
8 (So precious is the redemption of their soules, and the continuance for euer)
Yo ta mèt pare pou yo bay anpil lajan pou sove lavi pa yo, sa p'ap janm rive fèt.
9 That he may liue still for euer, and not see the graue.
Atò, se pou yo ta viv tout tan san yo pa janm al anba tè?
10 For he seeth that wise men die, and also that the ignorant and foolish perish, and leaue their riches for others.
Men, nou wè moun ki gen bon konprann yo mouri, yo disparèt menm jan ak moun sòt ansanm ak moun egare yo. Yo kite tout richès yo pou lòt moun.
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.
Se nan simityè yo pral bout, se nan tonm yo pral rete, menm si yo gen gwo bitasyon ki pote non yo.
12 But man shall not continue in honour: he is like the beastes that die.
Yon moun te mèt grannèg kou l' grannèg li gen pou l' mouri. Li tankou zannimo y'ap mennen labatwa.
13 This their way vttereth their foolishnes: yet their posteritie delite in their talke. (Selah)
Se konsa y'ap fini, moun ki mete konfyans yo nan pwòp tèt yo. Se sa ki gen pou rive moun k'ap koute pawòl yo tou.
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)
Tankou yo mete mouton nan pak, se konsa y'ap mete yo kote mò yo ye a. Yo pral tou dwat nan simityè, se lanmò ki pral pran swen yo. Bèl kou yo bèl, y'ap tounen pousyè. Se kote mò yo ye a y'ap rete. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God shall deliuer my soule from the power of the graue: for he will receiue me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Men, Bondye ap delivre mwen, l'ap wete m' anba pouvwa lanmò. (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afrayd when one is made rich, and when the glory of his house is increased.
Ou pa bezwen pè lè ou wè yon moun ap vin pi rich, lè ou wè l'ap mete richès pil sou pil lakay li.
17 For he shall take nothing away when he dieth, neither shall his pompe descende after him.
Lè l' mouri, li p'ap pote anyen ale avèk li, l'ap kite tout richès li yo dèyè.
18 For while he liued, he reioyced himselfe: and men will prayse thee, when thou makest much of thy selfe.
Li te mèt kontan jan l' t'ap viv la, yo te mèt ap fè lwanj li pou jan afè l' ap mache byen,
19 He shall enter into the generation of his fathers, and they shall not liue for euer.
yon lè, li gen pou l' mouri tankou zansèt li yo ki p'ap janm wè limyè ankò.
20 Man is in honour, and vnderstandeth not: he is like to beasts that perish.
Yon moun te mèt grannèg kou l' grannèg, si li pa gen konprann, li tankou zannimo y'ap mennen labatwa.
