Psalms 49
1 To victorie, a salm to the sones of Chore. Alle ye folkis, here these thingis; alle ye that dwellen in the world, perseyue with eeris.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמֽוֹר׃ שִׁמְעוּ־זֹאת כׇּל־הָעַמִּים הַאֲזִינוּ כׇּל־יֹשְׁבֵי חָֽלֶד׃ |
2 Alle the sones of erthe and the sones of men; togidere the riche man and the pore in to oon.
| גַּם־בְּנֵי אָדָם גַּם־בְּנֵי־אִישׁ יַחַד עָשִׁיר וְאֶבְיֽוֹן׃ |
3 Mi mouth schal speke wisdom; and the thenkyng of myn herte schal speke prudence.
| פִּי יְדַבֵּר חׇכְמוֹת וְהָגוּת לִבִּי תְבוּנֽוֹת׃ |
4 I schal bouwe doun myn eere in to a parable; Y schal opene my resoun set forth in a sautree.
| אַטֶּה לְמָשָׁל אׇזְנִי אֶפְתַּח בְּכִנּוֹר חִידָתִֽי׃ |
5 Whi schal Y drede in the yuel dai? the wickidnesse of myn heele schal cumpasse me.
| לָמָּה אִירָא בִּימֵי רָע עֲוֺן עֲקֵבַי יְסוּבֵּֽנִי׃ |
6 Whiche tristen in her owne vertu; and han glorie in the multitude of her richessis.
| הַבֹּטְחִים עַל־חֵילָם וּבְרֹב עׇשְׁרָם יִתְהַלָּֽלוּ׃ |
7 A brother ayenbieth not, schal a man ayenbie? and he schal not yyue to God his plesyng.
| אָח לֹא־פָדֹה יִפְדֶּה אִישׁ לֹא־יִתֵּן לֵאלֹהִים כׇּפְרֽוֹ׃ |
8 And he schal not yyue the prijs of raunsum of his soule; and he schal trauele with outen ende,
| וְיֵקַר פִּדְיוֹן נַפְשָׁם וְחָדַל לְעוֹלָֽם׃ |
9 and he schal lyue yit in to the ende.
| וִיחִי־עוֹד לָנֶצַח לֹא יִרְאֶה הַשָּֽׁחַת׃ |
10 He schal not se perischyng, whanne he schal se wise men diynge; the vnwise man and fool schulen perische togidere. And thei schulen leeue her richessis to aliens;
| כִּי יִרְאֶה ׀ חֲכָמִים יָמוּתוּ יַחַד כְּסִיל וָבַעַר יֹאבֵדוּ וְעָזְבוּ לַאֲחֵרִים חֵילָֽם׃ |
11 and the sepulcris of hem ben the housis of hem with outen ende. The tabernaclis of hem ben in generacioun and generacioun; thei clepiden her names in her londis.
| קִרְבָּם בָּתֵּימוֹ ׀ לְֽעוֹלָם מִשְׁכְּנֹתָם לְדוֹר וָדֹר קָרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹתָם עֲלֵי אֲדָמֽוֹת׃ |
12 A man, whanne he was in honour, vndurstood not; he is comparisound to vnwise beestis, and he is maad lijk to tho.
| וְאָדָם בִּיקָר בַּל־יָלִין נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמוֹת נִדְמֽוּ׃ |
13 This weie of hem is sclaundir to hem; and aftirward thei schulen plese togidere in her mouth.
| זֶה דַרְכָּם כֵּסֶל לָמוֹ וְאַחֲרֵיהֶם ׀ בְּפִיהֶם יִרְצוּ סֶֽלָה׃ |
14 As scheep thei ben set in helle; deth schal gnawe hem. And iust men schulen be lordis of hem in the morewtid; and the helpe of hem schal wexe eld in helle, for the glorie of hem. (Sheol h7585)
| כַּצֹּאן ׀ לִשְׁאוֹל שַׁתּוּ מָוֶת יִרְעֵם וַיִּרְדּוּ בָם יְשָׁרִים ׀ לַבֹּקֶר (וצירם) [וְצוּרָם] לְבַלּוֹת שְׁאוֹל מִזְּבֻל לֽוֹ׃ (Sheol h7585) |
15 Netheles God schal ayenbie my soule from the power of helle; whanne he schal take me. (Sheol h7585)
| אַךְ־אֱלֹהִים יִפְדֶּה נַפְשִׁי מִֽיַּד־שְׁאוֹל כִּי יִקָּחֵנִי סֶֽלָה׃ (Sheol h7585) |
16 Drede thou not, whanne a man is maad riche; and the glorie of his hows is multiplied.
| אַל־תִּירָא כִּֽי־יַעֲשִׁר אִישׁ כִּי־יִרְבֶּה כְּבוֹד בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ |
17 For whanne he schal die, he schal not take alle thingis; and his glorie schal not go doun with him.
| כִּי לֹא בְמוֹתוֹ יִקַּח הַכֹּל לֹֽא־יֵרֵד אַחֲרָיו כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃ |
18 For his soule schal be blessid in his lijf; he schal knouleche to thee, whanne thou hast do wel to hym.
| כִּֽי־נַפְשׁוֹ בְּחַיָּיו יְבָרֵךְ וְיוֹדֻךָ כִּי־תֵיטִיב לָֽךְ׃ |
19 He schal entre til in to the generaciouns of hise fadris; and til in to with outen ende he schal not se liyt.
| תָּבוֹא עַד־דּוֹר אֲבוֹתָיו עַד־נֵצַח לֹא יִרְאוּ־אֽוֹר׃ |
20 A man, whanne he was in honour, vndurstood not; he is comparisound to vnwise beestis, and is maad lijk to tho.
| אָדָם בִּיקָר וְלֹא יָבִין נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמוֹת נִדְמֽוּ׃ |
