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,
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Muwulire mmwe amawanga gonna, mutege amatu mmwe mwenna abali mu nsi.
2 As well lowe as hie, both rich and poore.
Ab’ekitiibwa n’abakopi, abagagga n’abaavu, mwenna; muwulirize ebigambo byange.
3 My mouth shall speake of wisdome, and the meditation of mine heart is of knowledge.
Kubanga ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange bya magezi, ebiva mu mutima gwange bijjudde okutegeera.
4 I will incline mine eare to a parable, and vtter my graue matter vpon the harpe.
Nnaakozesanga ebikwata ku ngero, nga nnyinnyonnyola amakulu gaazo n’oluyimba ku nnanga.
5 Wherefore should I feare in the euil dayes, when iniquitie shall compasse me about, as at mine heeles?
Siityenga ne bwe nnaabanga mu buzibu; newaakubadde ng’abalabe bange banneetoolodde,
6 They trust in their goods, and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches.
abantu abeesiga obugagga bwabwe beenyumiririza mu bintu ebingi bye balina.
7 Yet a man can by no meanes redeeme his brother: he can not giue his raunsome to God,
Ddala ddala, tewali muntu ayinza kununula bulamu bwa munne, wadde okwegula okuva eri Katonda.
8 (So precious is the redemption of their soules, and the continuance for euer)
Kubanga omuwendo ogununula obulamu munene nnyo, tewali n’omu agusobola;
9 That he may liue still for euer, and not see the graue.
alyoke awangaale ennaku zonna nga tatuuse magombe.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, and also that the ignorant and foolish perish, and leaue their riches for others.
Kubanga n’abantu abagezi bafa; abasirusiru n’abatalina magezi bonna baaggwaawo, obugagga bwabwe ne babulekera abalala.
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.
Entaana zaabwe ge ganaabanga amaka gaabwe ennaku zonna; nga bye bisulo ebya buli mulembe oguliddawo; baafuna ettaka mu mannya gaabwe.
12 But man shall not continue in honour: he is like the beastes that die.
Omuntu tabeerera mirembe gyonna, ne bw’aba mugagga atya, alifa ng’ensolo bwe zifa.
13 This their way vttereth their foolishnes: yet their posteritie delite in their talke. (Selah)
Ako ke kabi akatuuka ku beesiga ebitaliimu, era ye nkomerero y’abo abeesiga obugagga bwabwe.
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)
Okufaanana ng’endiga, bateekwa kufa; olumbe ne lubalya. Bakka butereevu emagombe, obulungi bwabwe ne bubula, amagombe ne gafuuka amaka gaabwe. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God shall deliuer my soule from the power of the graue: for he will receiue me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Naye Katonda alinunula emmeeme yange mu magombe, ddala ddala alintwala gy’ali. (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afrayd when one is made rich, and when the glory of his house is increased.
Omuntu bw’agaggawalanga n’ekitiibwa ky’ennyumba ye nga kyeyongedde, tomutyanga,
17 For he shall take nothing away when he dieth, neither shall his pompe descende after him.
kubanga bw’alifa taliiko ky’alitwala, wadde n’ekitiibwa kye tekirigenda naye.
18 For while he liued, he reioyced himselfe: and men will prayse thee, when thou makest much of thy selfe.
Newaakubadde nga mu bulamu yeerowoozaako ng’aweereddwa omukisa kubanga omugagga abantu bamugulumiza,
19 He shall enter into the generation of his fathers, and they shall not liue for euer.
kyokka alikka emagombe eri bajjajjaabe, n’ayingira mu kizikiza ekikutte.
20 Man is in honour, and vnderstandeth not: he is like to beasts that perish.
Omuntu omugagga naye nga simutegeevu tabeerera mirembe gyonna, alizikirira ng’ensolo ez’omu nsiko.
