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:
ए सबै मानिसहरू हो, यो कुरा सुन । ए संसारका सबै बासिन्दाहरू हो कान थाप ।
2 Both low and high, rich and poor together.
माथिल्लो र तल्लो दर्जाका, गरीब र धनी दुवै एकसाथ ।
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding.
मेरो मुखले बुद्धिका कुरा बोल्नेछ र मेरो हृदयको ध्यान समझको हुनेछ ।
4 I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
म आफ्ना कान दृष्टान्तमा लगाउनेछु । म आफ्नो दृष्टान्तलाई वीणा बजाएर सुरु गर्नेछु ।
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall encompass me?
जब अधर्मले मलाई घेरा हाल्छ, तब म किन खराब दिनहरूको डर मान्ने?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
आफ्ना सम्पत्तिमा भरोसा गर्नेहरू र आफ्नो धेरै धन घमण्ड गर्नेहरूसँग म किन डराउने?
7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
यो निश्चय हो कि कसैले आफ्नो भाइलाई बचाउन वा त्यसको निम्ति परमेश्वरलाई छुकाराको मोल तिर्न सक्दैन,
8 (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it ceaseth for ever: )
किनकि कसैको जीवनको छुटकारा मूल्य महङ्गो छ र हामीले तिर्नुपर्ने जति त कसैले तिर्न सक्दैन ।
9 That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption.
कोही पनि सदासर्वदा जीवित रहन सक्दैन, ताकि त्यसको शरीर सडेर नजाओस् ।
10 For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
किनकि त्यसले सडेको देख्नेछ । बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरू मर्छन् । मूर्ख र क्रूर त्यसरी नै नाश हुन्छन् र आफ्ना सम्पत्ति अरूलाई छोड्छन् ।
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.
आफ्ना परिवारहरू सधैंभरि निरन्तर रहन्छन्, र आफू बसोवास गरेका ठाउँहरू सबै पुस्तालाई हुन्छ भन्ने तिनीहरूका भित्री विचार हुन्छ । आफ्ना जमिनहरूलाई तिनीहरूले आफ्नै नाउँ दिन्छन्।
12 Nevertheless man [being] in honor abideth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.
तर धन भए पनि मानिस सधैं बाँच्न सक्दैन । त्यो नष्ट हुने जङ्गली पशुजस्तै हो ।
13 This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. (Selah)
तिनीहरूको यो मार्ग नै तिनीहरूको मूर्खता हो । तापनि तिनीहरू पछि, मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूका भनाइहरूलाई मान्यता दिन्छन् ।
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)
भेडाहरूझैं ती चिहानको निम्ति नियुक्त हुन्छन्, र मृत्युचाहिं तिनीहरूका गोठाला हुनेछ । सोझाहरूले बिहान तिनीहरूमाथि राज्य गर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई बस्ने कुनै ठाउँ नभई तिनीहरूका शरीरहरू चिहानमा नष्ट हुनेछन् । (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
तर परमेश्वरले मेरो जीवनलाई चिहानको शक्तिबाट उद्धार गर्नुहुनेछ । उहाँले मलाई ग्रहण गर्नुहुनेछ । सेला (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
कोही धनी हुँदा र त्यसको घरको गौरव बढ्दा नडरा ।
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
किनकि जब त्यो मर्नेछ, तब त्यसले कुनै कुरा पनि लानेछैन । त्यसको गौरव त्यसको पछिपछि जानेछैन ।
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
त्यो जीवित हुँदा नै त्यसले आफ्नो प्राणलाई धन्यको भन्यो र जब तिमीले आफ्नो निम्ति जीवन बताउँछौ, तब मानिसहरूले तिम्रो प्रशंसा गर्छन्—
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
त्यो आफ्नो पुर्खाहरूका पुस्तामा जानेछ र तिनीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै त्योति देख्नेछैनन् ।
20 Man [that is] in honor, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.
जससँग सम्पत्ति छ, तर समझ छैन, त्यो जङ्गली पशुहरूजस्तै हो, जो नाश हुन्छ ।
