Psalms 49
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you 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 will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.
E olelo aku kuu waha i ke akamai; A ma ka naauao ka manao ana o ko'u naau.
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.
E haliu aku au i kuu pepeiao i ka olelo nane; E hoomaka au i kuu mele ma ka lira.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of those who deceive me surrounds me?
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 They trust in their wealth, and boast 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 Truly these cannot redeem a person, 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 the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
(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 live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
I ola mau loa oia, a i ole hoi e ike i ka palaho.
10 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless 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 tombs are their homes forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
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, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals 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 destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who 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 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion. (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 Sheol, for he will 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 Do not be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory 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 dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory 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—and men praise you when you do well for yourself—
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 he 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 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
O ke kanaka iloko o ka hanohano, me ka naauao ole, Ua like ia me na holoholona i hookiia.
