Psalms 49
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
Fún adarí orin. Ti àwọn ọmọ Kora. Saamu. Ẹ gbọ́ èyí, gbogbo ènìyàn! Ẹ fi etí sí i, gbogbo ẹ̀yin aráyé.
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
Àti ẹni tí ó ga àti ẹni tí ó kéré tálákà àti ọlọ́lá pẹ̀lú!
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
Ẹnu mi yóò sọ̀rọ̀ ọgbọ́n, èrò láti ọkàn mi yóò mú òye wá
4 I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
èmi yóò dẹ etí mi sílẹ̀ sí òwe, èmi yóò ṣí ọ̀rọ̀ ìkọ̀kọ̀ mi sílẹ̀ lójú okùn dùùrù.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall surround me?
Èéṣe ti èmi yóò bẹ̀rù nígbà tí ọjọ́ ibi dé? Nígbà tí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ajinnilẹ́sẹ̀ mi yí mi ká,
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
àwọn tí o gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọrọ̀ wọn, tí wọn sì ń ṣe ìlérí ni ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọrọ̀ wọn.
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
Kò sí ọkùnrin tí ó lè ra ẹ̀mí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ padà tàbí san owó ìràpadà fún Ọlọ́run.
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever: )
Nítorí ìràpadà fún ẹni jẹ́ iyebíye kò sì sí iye owó tó tó fún sísan rẹ̀,
9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
ní ti kí ó máa wà títí ayé láìrí isà òkú.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the stupid person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn rí ọkùnrin ọlọ́gbọ́n tí ó kú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni aṣiwèrè àti aláìlọ́gbọ́n pẹ̀lú ṣègbé wọ́n sì fi ọrọ̀ wọn sílẹ̀ fún ẹlòmíràn.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
Ibojì wọn ni yóò jẹ́ ilé wọn láéláé, ibùgbé wọn láti ìrandíran, wọn sọ orúkọ ilẹ̀ wọn ní orúkọ ara wọn.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin tí o wà nínú ọlá kò dúró pẹ́ ó sì dàbí ẹranko tí ó ṣègbé.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. (Selah)
Èyí ni òtítọ́ àwọn ènìyàn tí ó gbàgbọ́ nínú ara wọn, àti àwọn tí ń tẹ̀lé wọn, tí ó gba ọ̀rọ̀ wọn. (Sela)
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. (Sheol h7585)
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àgùntàn ni a tẹ́ wọn sínú isà òkú ikú yóò jẹun lórí wọn; ẹni tí ó dúró ṣinṣin ni yóò, jẹ ọba lórí wọn ní òwúrọ̀. Ẹwà wọn yóò díbàjẹ́, isà òkú ni ibùgbé ẹwà wọn. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run yóò ra ọkàn mi padà kúrò nínú isà òkú, yóò gbé mi lọ sọ́dọ̀ òun fún rara rẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
Má ṣe bẹ̀rù nígbà tí ẹnìkan bá di ọlọ́rọ̀. Nígbà tí ìyìn ilé rẹ̀ ń pọ̀ sí i.
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
Nítorí kì yóò mú ohun kan lọ nígbà tí ó bá kú, ògo rẹ̀ kò ní bá a sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí ipò òkú.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
Nígbà tí ó wà láyé, ó súre fún ọkàn ara rẹ̀. Àwọn ènìyàn yìn ọ́ nígbà tí ìwọ ṣe rere.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
Òun yóò lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ìran àwọn baba rẹ̀ àwọn tí ki yóò ri ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé.
20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
Ọkùnrin tí ó ní ọlá tí kò ní òye dàbí ẹranko tí ó ṣègbé.
