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.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Muwulire mmwe amawanga gonna, mutege amatu mmwe mwenna abali mu nsi.
2 Both low and high, together rich and needy.
Ab’ekitiibwa n’abakopi, abagagga n’abaavu, mwenna; muwulirize ebigambo byange.
3 My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
Kubanga ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange bya magezi, ebiva mu mutima gwange bijjudde okutegeera.
4 I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle:
Nnaakozesanga ebikwata ku ngero, nga nnyinnyonnyola amakulu gaazo n’oluyimba ku nnanga.
5 Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.
Siityenga ne bwe nnaabanga mu buzibu; newaakubadde ng’abalabe bange banneetoolodde,
6 Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.
abantu abeesiga obugagga bwabwe beenyumiririza mu bintu ebingi bye balina.
7 A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.
Ddala ddala, tewali muntu ayinza kununula bulamu bwa munne, wadde okwegula okuva eri Katonda.
8 And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased — to the age.
Kubanga omuwendo ogununula obulamu munene nnyo, tewali n’omu agusobola;
9 And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.
alyoke awangaale ennaku zonna nga tatuuse magombe.
10 For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.
Kubanga n’abantu abagezi bafa; abasirusiru n’abatalina magezi bonna baaggwaawo, obugagga bwabwe ne babulekera abalala.
11 Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.
Entaana zaabwe ge ganaabanga amaka gaabwe ennaku zonna; nga bye bisulo ebya buli mulembe oguliddawo; baafuna ettaka mu mannya gaabwe.
12 And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
Omuntu tabeerera mirembe gyonna, ne bw’aba mugagga atya, alifa ng’ensolo bwe zifa.
13 This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. (Selah)
Ako ke kabi akatuuka ku beesiga ebitaliimu, era ye nkomerero y’abo abeesiga obugagga bwabwe.
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)
Okufaanana ng’endiga, bateekwa kufa; olumbe ne lubalya. Bakka butereevu emagombe, obulungi bwabwe ne bubula, amagombe ne gafuuka amaka gaabwe. (Sheol h7585)
15 Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Naye Katonda alinunula emmeeme yange mu magombe, ddala ddala alintwala gy’ali. (Sheol h7585)
16 Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant,
Omuntu bw’agaggawalanga n’ekitiibwa ky’ennyumba ye nga kyeyongedde, tomutyanga,
17 For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.
kubanga bw’alifa taliiko ky’alitwala, wadde n’ekitiibwa kye tekirigenda naye.
18 For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)
Newaakubadde nga mu bulamu yeerowoozaako ng’aweereddwa omukisa kubanga omugagga abantu bamugulumiza,
19 It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.
kyokka alikka emagombe eri bajjajjaabe, n’ayingira mu kizikiza ekikutte.
20 Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
Omuntu omugagga naye nga simutegeevu tabeerera mirembe gyonna, alizikirira ng’ensolo ez’omu nsiko.
