Psalms 49
1 “To the chief musician, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the perishable world:
Koraha bērnu dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Klausāties to, visi ļaudis, grieziet ausis šurp, visi pasaules iedzīvotāji,
2 Both the sons of the low and the sons of the high, rich and needy, altogether.
Tā zemi kā augsti, bagāti kā nabagi kopā.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
Manas mutes runa ir gudrība, un manas sirds domas ir prātīgas.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open with the harp my riddle.
Es griezīšu savu ausi pie viena sakāma vārda, un izteikšu savu mīklu uz koklēm.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my oppressors encompasseth me?—
Kāpēc man bīties ļaunās dienās, kad manu vajātāju noziegums ap mani metās?
6 Of those that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves of the multitude of their riches?
Tie paļaujas uz savu padomu un greznojās ar savu lielo bagātību.
7 No one can in any wise redeem his brother, nor can he give to God redemption money for himself;
Savu brāli neviens nevar atpestīt nedz Dievam par to dot atpirkšanas maksu,
8 For the ransom of their soul is too costly, and it is omitted for ever.
(Jo visai dārga ir viņu dvēseles atpestīšana un no(tā) tam jāatstājas mūžīgi, )
9 And should he still live for ever? not see the pit?
Ka tas dzīvotu mūžam un kapu neredzētu.
10 For he must see that wise men die, that together the fool and the brutish person perish and leave to others their wealth.
Tiešām redzēs, ka gudri mirst, ka ģeķi un neprātīgi kopā iet bojā un savu mantu pamet citiem.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses are to be for ever, their dwelling-places, from generation to generation; they call them by their own names in [various] countries.
Tās ir viņu sirdsdomas, ka viņu namiem būs stāvēt mūžīgi, viņu dzīvokļiem līdz radu radiem; tie nosauc valstis pēc saviem vārdiem.
12 Nevertheless man in [his] splendor endureth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.
Bet cilvēks greznībā nepastāv, viņš līdzinājās lopiem, ko nokauj.
13 This is their way, their folly: yet their posterity will take pleasure in their sayings. (Selah)
Šis ir tas ceļš ģeķiem un tiem, kas viņiem iet pakaļ un kam viņu vārdi patīk. (Sela)
14 Like flocks are they thrust into the nether world; death will feed them; but the upright shall have dominion over them in that morning, and their form wasteth away in the nether world, [taken away] from their own dwelling. (Sheol h7585)
Tie taps noguldīti ellē kā avis, nāve tos ganīs; bet tie taisnie par tiem valdīs rītam austot, un viņu augumu aprīs elle, ka nebūs, kur palikt. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether world; for he will take me away. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Bet Dievs atpestīs manu dvēseli no elles varas, jo Viņš mani pieņems. (Sela) (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
Nebēdājies par to, kad kāds top bagāts, kad viņa nama gods top liels.
17 For when he dieth he can take nothing away; his glory will not descend after him.
Jo viņš mirdams neko neņems līdz, viņa godība tam neies pakaļ.
18 For though he bless his soul during his life, and men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself:
Jebšu viņš savu dvēseli svētī, kamēr viņš dzīvo, un tevi teic, ka tu sev labas dienas sagādājis.
19 She shall go to the generation of his fathers, unto eternity will these never see light.
Tomēr tu noiesi pie viņa tēvu radiem, kas gaismu neredz ne mūžam.
20 Man, though in splendor, who understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. °
Cilvēks, kas greznībā un nav prātīgs, tas līdzinājās lopiem, ko nokauj.
