Psalms 49
1 For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
E HOOLOHE mai i keia, e na kanaka a pau: E haliu maikai i ka pepeiao, e ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ke ao nei:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor together.
Na mea haahaa a me na mea kiekie, Pau pu hoi ka poe waiwai, a me ka poe waiwai ole.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
E olelo aku kuu waha i ke akamai; A ma ka naauao ka manao ana o ko'u naau.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
E haliu aku au i kuu pepeiao i ka olelo nane; E hoomaka au i kuu mele ma ka lira.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasseth me about,
O ke aha kuu mea e makau ai, i na la ino, E hoopuni mai ai ka poe ku e malu mai ia'u?
6 Of them that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches?
O ka poe hilinai i ko lakou ikaika iho, A i hoomaikai ia lakou iho no ka nui o ko lakou waiwai;
7 No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him —
Aohe mea o lakou e hiki ia ia ke hoopakele i kona hoahanau; Aole hoi e haawi i ka uku hoola i ke Akua nona;
8 For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever —
(No ka mea, o ka hoola ana i ko lakou uhane, he nui ke kumukuai; A ua oki mau loa no ia; )
9 That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit.
I ola mau loa oia, a i ole hoi e ike i ka palaho.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others.
No ka mea, ua ike no ia ua make na kanaka naauao, Pela hoi ua make ka mea naaupo a me ka mea manao ole, A waiho hoi lakou i ko lakou waiwai no na mea e.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling-places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
O ko lakou manao oloko e mau loa ko lakou mau hale, A me ko lakou mau wahi e noho ai ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku: Mamuli o ko lakou inoa iho i kapa ai lakou i ko lakou mau aina.
12 But man abideth not in honour; he is like the beasts that perish.
Aka, o ke kanaka iloko o ka hanohano, aole i mau; Ua like ia me na holoholona i hoopauia.
13 This is the way of them that are foolish, and of those who after them approve their sayings. (Selah)
O keia aoao o lakou o ko lakou lapuwale no ia: Aka, ua hoopono ko lakou mau hope i ko lakou mau olelo. (Sila)
14 Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, that there be no habitation for it. (Sheol h7585)
Me he mau hipa la ua waihoia lakou i ka luakupapau: E ai no ka make ia lakou; E lanakila ka poe pono maluna o lakou i ke kakahiaka; A e pau e ko lakou nani iloko o ka luakupapau, mai kona wahi i noho ai. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether-world; for He shall receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Aka, e hoopakele ke Akua i kuu uhane i ka lima o ka malu o ka make; No ka mea, e hookipa no oia ia'u. (Sila) (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, when the wealth of his house is increased;
Mai makau oe i ka waiwai nui ana o kekahi, I ka wa e mahuahua ai ka nani o kona hale;
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his wealth shall not descend after him.
No ka mea, i kona make ana, aohe mea kana e lawe pu ai; Aole e iho kona nani mamuli ona.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself';
Aka hoi, i kona ola ana, ua hoomaikai oia i kona uhane; A e mahalo ae na kanaka ia oe i kou wa e hana maikai ai ia oe iho.
19 It shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see the light.
E hele no oia i ka hanauna o kona mau makua; Aole lakou e ike i ka malamalama.
20 Man that is in honour understandeth not; he is like the beasts that perish.
O ke kanaka iloko o ka hanohano, me ka naauao ole, Ua like ia me na holoholona i hookiia.
