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,
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa namoota, isin hundi waan kana dhagaʼaa; warri addunyaa kana irra jiraattan hundinuu dhaggeeffadhaa;
2 both low and high, rich and poor together.
xinnaa fi guddaan, sooressii fi hiyyeessi walumaan dhaggeeffadhaa; kunis:
3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.
Afaan koo dubbii ogummaa dubbata; wanti ani garaatti yaadus hubannaa kenna.
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.
Gurra koo gara mammaaksaatti nan qabadha; hibboo koos baganaadhaan nan ibsadha.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of those who deceive me surrounds me?
Bara rakkinaa, yeroo gowwoomsitoonni hamoon na marsanitti, ani maaliifan sodaadha?
6 They trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches.
Isaan qabeenya isaanii amanatu; guddina sooruma isaaniitiinis boonu.
7 Truly these cannot redeem a person, nor give to God a ransom for him.
Namni lubbuu nama gara biraa furu, yookaan gatii furii nama sanaa Waaqaaf baasu tokko iyyuu hin jiru;
8 For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
furiin lubbuu namaa gatii guddaa qabaatii; gatiin quufsaanis yoom iyyuu hin argamu;
9 that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
silaa inni bara baraan ni jiraata; hin tortorus ture.
10 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Akka ogeeyyiin duʼan namni hundinuu ni arga; gowwoonnii fi raatuwwanis akkasuma ni badu; qabeenya isaaniis warra kaaniif dhiisu.
11 Their tombs are their homes forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
Isaan yoo lafa maqaa isaaniitiin waamamtu qabaatan illee, awwaalli isaanii bara baraan mana isaanii, dhalootaa hamma dhalootaattis iddoo boqonnaa isaanii taʼee hafa.
12 But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish.
Namni garuu qabeenya qabaatu illee bara dheeraa hin jiraatu; inni akkuma bineensa duʼee baduu ti.
13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. (Selah)
Wanni namoota ofitti amanatanii fi warra isaan duukaa buʼanii dubbii isaanii hoʼisan eeggatu kanuma.
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)
Isaan akkuma hoolaa duʼaaf ramadamaniiru; duuti tiksee isaanii ti; toloonni ganamaan isaan irratti aangoo qabaatu; dhagni isaanii mana isaanii irraa fagaatee awwaala keessatti ni tortora; awwaallis mana jireenya isaanii ti. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Waaqni garuu lubbuu koo humna siiʼool jalaa baasa; inni dhugumaan ofitti na fudhata. (Sheol h7585)
16 Do not be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.
Yommuu namni tokko sooromu, yommuu ulfinni mana isaas guddatu hin sodaatin.
17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.
Inni yommuu duʼutti waanuma tokko illee fudhatee hin deemuutii; ulfinni isaas isa wajjin hin dhaqu.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul—and men praise you when you do well for yourself?
Inni bara jireenya isaa lubbuu isaa eebbisu iyyuu, yoo namoonni yeroo ati waan gaarii ofii keetii godhattutti si jajan illee,
19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
inni gara dhaloota abbootii isaa, gara warra gonkumaa deebiʼanii ifa jireenyaa hin arginee ni dhaqa.
20 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
Namni badhaadhaan hubannaa hin qabne, akkuma bineensaa duʼee bada.
