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.
Kathutkung: Korah capanaw Tamimaya hetheh thai awh haw. Talai van kaawm e pueng thai awh haw.
2 Both low and high, together rich and needy.
Ka rahnoum hoi ka rasang, ka tawnta hoi ka mathoe pueng cungtalah thai awh haw.
3 My mouth speaks wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
Ka kâko ni lungangnae lawk a dei han. Hahoi, ka lungthin khopouknae ni panuethainae a poe han.
4 I incline my ear to an allegory, I open my riddle with a harp:
Cingthuilawk koe lah ka hnâ ka pakeng vaiteh, lawk ka ru ka dei e hah, ka ratoung hoi ka cai sak han.
5 Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters surrounds me.
Thoenae ni na kalup navah, bangkongmaw hnin kathout nah ka taki han.
6 Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Show themselves foolish.
Ahnimouh teh amamae hnopai hah a kâuep awh teh, a tawnta awh e dawk ka kâoup awh nakunghai,
7 A brother ransoms no one at all, He does not give to God his atonement.
amamae hmaunawngha apinihai ratang thai mahoeh. Ratangnae phu Cathut koe poe thai hoeh.
8 And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it has ceased for all time.
Ahnimae hringnae ratang nahane aphu apap poung. Hatdawkvah, nâtuek hai poe hane khout thai hoeh.
9 And still he lives forever, He does not see the pit.
Ratang pawiteh, a yungyoe a hring han doeh. Pawknae koe phat mahoeh.
10 For he sees wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left their wealth to others.
Tamilungkaang hai a due. Hot patetvanlah, tamipathu hoi bangpuibangpa lah kaawm hoeh e hai a due van. Hahoi, hnopainaw hah ayânaw hanelah a ceitakhai awh tie hah a hmu awh.
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.
A lungthung hoi teh amamae im hah a yungyoe kangning hanelah a pouk awh. A onae im hah se pueng dawk kangning hanelah a pouk awh. Amamae ram hah a min a phu sak awh.
12 And man does not remain in honor, He has been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
Hatei, tami heh bari lah ao eiteh, kangning hoeh. Kahmakatanae koe ka phat e saring patetlah doeh ao.
13 This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity are pleased with their sayings. (Selah)
Hethateh tamipathunaw e lamthung doeh. Hahoi, a catounnaw hai a dei awh e patetlah ao awh.
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)
A duenae hmuen koelah ceikhai e tu patetlah ao awh. Duenae ni a ca awh han. Tamikalannaw ni khodai toteh a uk awh han. A onae hmuen koehoi ahlanae hmuen koe a takthai meihawinae naw teh, phuen vah koung a pawk han. (Sheol h7585)
Hatei, ka hringnae hateh, Cathut ni phuen thaonae koehoi a ratang han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama ni na coe han. (Sheol h7585)
16 Do not fear when one makes wealth, When the glory of his house is abundant,
Tami buet touh a tawnta teh, a imthungkhu bawilennae hoi hoehoe a kâthap navah, taket hanh.
17 For at his death he receives nothing, His glory does not go down after him.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a due toteh banghai sin thai kalawn mahoeh. A bawilennae ni hai kâbang sin kalawn mahoeh.
18 For he blesses his soul in his life (And they praise you when you do well for yourself).
A hring nathung yawhawi kacoepounge lah kâpouk nakunghai, na tawnta dawkvah tami ni ka pholen nakunghai,
19 It comes to the generation of his fathers, They do not see the light forever.
a napanaw ceinae koe a cei van vaiteh, nâtuek hai kho ang hmawt thai awh mahoeh toe.
20 Man in honor, who does not understand, Has been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
Tami ni bari e lah ao eiteh, panuethainae ka tawn hoeh e teh, saring kahmakata e patetlah doeh ao.
