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.
Abụ Ọma dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ ụmụ Kora. Abụ Ọma. Nụrụnụ nke a, unu mmadụ niile! Geenụ ntị, unu ndị niile bi nʼụwa,
2 Both low and high, together rich and needy.
ma ndị dị ala ma ndị dị elu, ma onye ọgaranya ma onye ogbenye.
3 My mouth speaks wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
Aga m ekwu okwu amamihe, ihe sị nʼobi m ga-enye nghọta.
4 I incline my ear to an allegory, I open my riddle with a harp:
Aga m aṅa ntị nye ilu, aga m e ji ụbọ akwara kọwaa ilu m.
5 Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters surrounds me.
Nʼihi gịnị ka m ga-eji tụọ egwu mgbe ụbọchị ọjọọ bịara, mgbe ndị aghụghọ ọjọọ gbara m gburugburu,
6 Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Show themselves foolish.
ndị na-atụkwasị obi nʼakụnụba ha ma na-anyakwa isi nʼihi oke ụba ha.
7 A brother ransoms no one at all, He does not give to God his atonement.
O nweghị onye pụrụ ịgbapụta ndụ onye ọzọ, maọbụ nye Chineke ụgwọ e ji agbara onye ahụ,
8 And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it has ceased for all time.
nʼihi na ụgwọ e ji agbara ndụ dị oke ọnụ, o nweghị ụgwọ a ga-akwụ nke ga-ezu,
9 And still he lives forever, He does not see the pit.
nke ga-eme ka mmadụ dịrị ndụ ruo ebighị ebi, ma hapụ ịnwụ.
10 For he sees wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left their wealth to others.
Nʼihi na mmadụ niile na-ahụ na ndị amamihe na-anwụ, ndị nzuzu na ndị na-enweghị uche na-anwụkwa, si otu a hapụrụ ndị ọzọ akụnụba ha.
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.
Ili ha na-aghọ ụlọ ha ruo ebighị ebi, ebe obibi ha ruo ọgbọ niile nʼagbanyeghị na ha gụrụ ọtụtụ ala aha ha.
12 And man does not remain in honor, He has been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
Ma mmadụ, nʼagbanyeghị akụnụba ya, aghaghị ịnwụ, dịka anụ ọhịa, ọ ga-anwụkwa.
13 This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity are pleased with their sayings. (Selah)
Nke a bụ ihe na-adakwasị ndị na-atụkwasị obi nʼonwe ha, na ndị na-eso ụzọ ha, ndị na-akwado okwu ha. (Sela)
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)
Dịka atụrụ, ọ bụ ala mmụọ ka a kwadooro ha, ọnwụ ga-abụ onye na-azụ ha dịka atụrụ, ma ndị na-eme ihe ziri ezi ga-emeri ha nʼụtụtụ. Ozu ha ga-erekasị nʼime ili nʼebe dị anya site nʼụlọeze ha. (Sheol h7585)
Ma Chineke ga-agbapụta ndụ m site nʼili, nʼezie, ọ ga-akpọrọ m nye onwe ya. (Sela) (Sheol h7585)
16 Do not fear when one makes wealth, When the glory of his house is abundant,
Amala jijiji mgbe mmadụ na-aba oke ụba, mgbe ịdị ebube nke ụlọ ya na-amụba,
17 For at his death he receives nothing, His glory does not go down after him.
nʼihi na ọ ga-agba aka laa ma ọ nwụọ, ịdị ebube ya agaghị eso ya banye nʼili.
18 For he blesses his soul in his life (And they praise you when you do well for yourself).
Nʼagbanyeghị na ọ gụrụ onwe ya dịka onye a gọziri agọzi mgbe ọ dị ndụ, ọ bụ ezie na ndị mmadụ na-eto gị mgbe ị na-enwe ọganihu,
19 It comes to the generation of his fathers, They do not see the light forever.
ọ ga-eso ọgbọ ndị nna nna ya ndị na-agaghị ahụkwa ìhè ọzọ.
20 Man in honor, who does not understand, Has been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
Ndị bara ụba nke na-enweghị nghọta dịka anụ ọhịa nke ga-ala nʼiyi.
