Psalms 49
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Hear this, all you peoples, Give ear, all you inhabitants of the world.
Aka mawt ham Korah ca rhoek kah tingtoenglung Pilnam boeih loh hekah he ya uh lah. Khosaknah dongkah khosa boeih loh hnatun uh.
2 Both low and high, together rich and needy.
Hlang capa rhoek long khaw, hlang tongpa rhoek long khaw, hlanglen neh khodaeng long khaw thikat la hnatunuh.
3 My mouth speaks wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
Ka ka loh cueihnah a thui vetih ka lungbuei poeknah loh a lungcuei om bitni.
4 I incline my ear to an allegory, I open my riddle with a harp:
Ka hna he taengla ka kaeng vetih, ka olkael he rhotoeng neh ka thuicaih ni.
5 Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters surrounds me.
Yoethaenah hnin ah ka khodil kathaesainah loh kai m'vael dae ba ham lae ka rhih eh?
6 Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Show themselves foolish.
A thadueng dongah pangtung uh tih a khuehtawn a yet neh thangthen uh dae,
7 A brother ransoms no one at all, He does not give to God his atonement.
hlang loh a manuca te a lat khaw a lat thai moenih. A tlansum te Pathen taengah a paek thai moenih.
8 And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it has ceased for all time.
A hinglu kah tlansum tah kuelka tih kumhal a toeng.
9 And still he lives forever, He does not see the pit.
Te koihnih a yoeyah la hing pueng sui tih hlan khaw hmuh pawt sue.
10 For he sees wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left their wealth to others.
Aka cueih rhoek long tah a duek te a hmuh. Aka ang neh kotalh khaw a milh vaengah a khuehtawn te hlang tloe ham a caehtak.
11 Their heart [is that] their houses [are] for all time, Their dwelling places from generation to generation. They proclaimed their names over the lands.
Amih kah poeknah nen tah a im te kumhal ah, a pohmuen te thawnpuei lamkah cadilcahma duela, om ni a ti uh tih tolhmuen te amih ming neh a khue uh.
12 And man does not remain in honor, He has been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
Tedae hlang he umponah khaw a rhaehrhong moenih, rhamsa banglam ni a thuidoek tih a hmata.
13 This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity are pleased with their sayings. (Selah)
Tetl a amamih khosing tea uepnah tih amih kah olthui te a hnukbang rhoek loh a pom uh. (Selah)
14 They have set themselves as sheep for Sheol, Death afflicts them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for him. (Sheol h7585)
Amih te saelkhui kah boiva la tael uh vetih, dueknah loh a luem puei ni. Tedae mincang ah amih te aka thuem rhoek loh a taemrhai uh ni. A muei neh a lungpang a imhmuen lamloh saelkhui la hmawn ni. (Sheol h7585)
Tedae Pathen loh ka hinglu he saelkhui kut lamkah n'lat dongah kai he n'loh bit ni. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Do not fear when one makes wealth, When the glory of his house is abundant,
Hlang pakhat loh boei tih a im kah thangpomnah loh pungtai cakhaw rhih boeh.
17 For at his death he receives nothing, His glory does not go down after him.
A duek vaengah pakhat khaw khuen mahpawh. A thangpomnah loh anih te suntlak puei mahpawh.
18 For he blesses his soul in his life (And they praise you when you do well for yourself).
A hing vaengah a hinglu te yoethen a paek tih namah te na hoeikhang vaengah nang uem uh dae,
19 It comes to the generation of his fathers, They do not see the light forever.
A napa rhoek kah cadilcahma la cet vetih yoeyah la vangnah hmu uh mahpawh.
20 Man in honor, who does not understand, Has been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
Hlang he umponah neh om dae a yakming pawt atah rhamsa aka hmata rhoek bangla om.
