Psalms 49
1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
Nangmih thlangkhqi boeih aw, ve ve za unawh taw; ve khawmdek awh ak awmkhqi boeih aw ngai lah uh,
2 Both low and high, together rich and needy.
Ak nem ak sang, boei khawdengkhqi boeih:
3 My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
Kam kha ing cyihnaak awi kqawn kawmsaw; kak kawlung khuiawh kaw awi ing zaksimnaak ni pe kaw.
4 I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle:
Awicyih benna kang haa keng kawng nyng saw; tingtoeng ing kak awi rylh ce kqawncaih kawng nyng.
5 Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.
Khawnghi amak leek a pha law awh kawtih kqih nawh, qaai ak kqawn thlakche khqi –
6 Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.
a mimah a boeinaak ak ypnaak thlangkhqi ingkaw a boeinaak awh ak oek qu thlangkhqi ing anik chung khoep awh kawtih kak kqih kaw?
7 A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.
U ingawm thlang a hqingnaak am hul thai nawh anih aham Khawsa venawh hulnaak a phu awm am pe thai hy-
8 And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased — to the age.
hqing thaawngnaak a phu ve tlo soeih nawh, ikawmyih a phu pek ingawm am khoek nawh-
9 And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.
thlang ing kumqui dy hqing nawh ama thu naak aham.
10 For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.
Thlakcyi a thih awm thlang boeih ing hu hy; thlak qaw ikaw amak sim thlang ing ang amyihna qeeng haih unawh thlang aham nani kawn ce ami ceh taak uh.
11 Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.
A mimah ingtaw a mimah ang ming ing qamkhqi ce ta lawt hlai uhy, ami phyikhqi ni kumqui dy ami awmnaak imkhqi na awm nawh, amak dyt qoe ami cadil dyna ami awmnaak hun na awm loet hy.
12 And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
Thlanghqing ve, boei seiawm, am cak loet hy; qamsa ak qeeng ing ni a ming myih hy.
13 This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. (Selah)
Amah ingkaw amah ak yp qunaak khqi taw cemyihna awm kawm uh, anih ak awi cangna nawh anih a hu awh ak bat thlangkhqi awm cemyihna awm kawm uh.
14 As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for him. (Sheol h7585)
Tuu amyihna cekkhqi a dytnaak taw phyi mai ni, thihnaak ing a mingmih ce hqin khqi kaw. Thlak dyngkhqi ing cekkhqi ce mymcang hqit awh uk kawm usaw; cekkhqi a myi ce phyi awh ni a thu hly, a boeinaak im nu awhkawng hla hawh kaw. (Sheol h7585)
15 Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Cehlai, Khawsa ing ka hqingnaak ve phyi khui awhkawng thaawng kawmsaw; amah a venna ni ceh pyi kaw. (Sheol h7585)
16 Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant,
Thlang ce khawhthem zen nawh, a ip khuiawh ik-oeih a taai law awh ce koeh kqih paqap;
17 For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.
A thih awhkaw pynoet ca awm khyn vang am ti a he hy, a taak khawhthem ing am nuk hqut tikaw.
18 For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)
A hqing tloek awhtaw a zoseen soeih na ngai qu nawh – na boei tloek awhtaw thlang ing nim kyih hlai hy-
19 It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.
a pakhqi a cadil ce ni ak bawng hly lawt hy, hqing vangnaak am hu voel qoe tikaw.
20 Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
Zaaksimnaak taak kaana ak boei thlang taw qamsa ak qeeng ing ni a ning myih.
