Psalms 49
1 To the choirmaster - of [the] sons of Korah a psalm. Hear this O all the peoples give ear O all [the] inhabitants of [the] world.
Kora mma dwom. Nnipa nyinaa, montie; monyɛ aso, mo a mowɔ ewiase yi mu nyinaa,
2 Both [the] children of humankind as well as [the] children of man alike [the] rich and [the] needy.
deɛ ɔyɛ abomfiaa ne deɛ ɔdi mu, adefoɔ ne ahiafoɔ nyinaa.
3 Mouth my it will speak wisdom and [the] meditation of heart my [will be] understanding.
Mʼano bɛka anyansasɛm; nsɛm a ɛfiri mʼakomam bɛma nhunumu.
4 I will incline to a proverb ear my I will open with a harp riddle my.
Mɛbrɛ mʼaso ase atie abɛbusɛm; na menam sankubɔ so bɛte aseɛ ama makyerɛ abɛbusɛm no ase.
5 Why? will I fear in days of trouble [the] iniquity of heels my it surrounds me.
Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ mesuro nna bɔne, ɛberɛ a amumuyɛfoɔ adaadaafoɔ atwa me ho ahyia,
6 Those relying on wealth their and in [the] greatness of rich[es] their they boast.
wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to wɔn ahonya soɔ na wɔde wɔn adedodoɔ hoahoa wɔn ho?
7 A brother not certainly he will ransom anyone not he will give to God ransom his.
Onipa biara rentumi nnye nʼankasa nkwa na ɔrentumi mfa mpata biara mma Onyankopɔn.
8 So it may be costly [the] ransom of life their and he will cease for ever.
Nkwa ho mpata boɔ yɛ den, sika biara rentumi ntɔ,
9 So he may live still to perpetuity not he will see the pit.
sɛ ɛbɛma no atena ase afebɔɔ a ɔrenhunu porɔeɛ.
10 For anyone will see - wise [people] they die alike a fool and a stupid [person] they perish and they leave to other [people] wealth their.
Obiara nim pefee sɛ anyansafoɔ wu; saa ara na nkwaseafoɔ ne agyimifoɔ nso wuo na wɔgya wɔn ahonya hɔ ma afoforɔ.
11 Inner being their houses their - for ever dwelling places their to a generation and a generation they called with names their on lands.
Wɔn adamena bɛyɛ wɔn afie afebɔɔ. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛtena awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ kɔsi ɛberɛ a ɛnni awieeɛ mu, wɔn din a wɔde totoo nsase so nyinaa akyi.
12 And humankind in honor not he remains he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
Na onipa ahonya nyinaa akyi no, ɔrentena hɔ daa; ɔte sɛ mmoa a wɔwuo no ara.
13 This [is] way their stupidity [belongs] to them and after them - in mouth their they take delight (Selah)
Yei ne deɛ ɛda hɔ ma wɔn a wɔgye wɔn ho die, ne wɔn akyidifoɔ a wɔfoa wɔn nsɛm soɔ.
14 Like sheep - for Sheol they have been appointed death it will shepherd them and they ruled over them upright [people] - to the morning (and form their *Q(K)*) [is] for [the] consuming of Sheol from lofty abode of him. (Sheol h7585)
Wɔte sɛ nnwan na wɔbɛkɔ damena mu, na owuo de wɔn bɛyɛ nʼaduane. Teneneefoɔ bɛdi wɔn so anɔpa; wɔn onipadua bɛporɔ wɔ damena mu, na wɔne wɔn adan akɛseɛ no ntam kwan bɛware. (Sheol h7585)
15 Surely God he will redeem life my from [the] hand of Sheol for he will take me (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Nanso, Onyankopɔn de ne tumi bɛgye me afiri damena mu; ampa ara, ɔde me bɛkɔ ne nkyɛn. (Sheol h7585)
16 May not you fear if he will become rich anyone if it will increase [the] honor of house his.
Sɛ onipa nya ne ho a, mma ɛnha wo; na sɛ ne fie anigyeɛ yɛ bebree a, mma no nha wo;
17 For not in death his he will take anything not it will go down after him honor his.
ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ ɔwu a, ɔremfa hwee nkɔ, nʼanimuonyam ne no renkɔ amena mu.
18 For self his in life his he blessed and people praise you if you will do well to yourself.
Mpo ɔte ase no, ɔfaa no sɛ wɔahyira no, ɛfiri sɛ wɔkamfo nnipa ɛberɛ a wɔdi yie,
19 It will go to [the] generation of ancestors his until perpetuity not they will see light.
nanso ɔbɛkɔ akɔka nʼagyanom ho, wɔn a wɔrenhunu nkwa hann ara da no.
20 Humankind with honor and not he understands he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
Onipa a ɔwɔ ahonya na ɔnni nhunumu no, ɔte sɛ aboa a ɔwuo.
