< תהילים 49 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמֽוֹר׃ שִׁמְעוּ־זֹאת כׇּל־הָעַמִּים הַאֲזִינוּ כׇּל־יֹשְׁבֵי חָֽלֶד׃ | 1 |
Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core. Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
גַּם־בְּנֵי אָדָם גַּם־בְּנֵי־אִישׁ יַחַד עָשִׁיר וְאֶבְיֽוֹן׃ | 2 |
All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
פִּי יְדַבֵּר חׇכְמוֹת וְהָגוּת לִבִּי תְבוּנֽוֹת׃ | 3 |
My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
אַטֶּה לְמָשָׁל אׇזְנִי אֶפְתַּח בְּכִנּוֹר חִידָתִֽי׃ | 4 |
I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
לָמָּה אִירָא בִּימֵי רָע עֲוֺן עֲקֵבַי יְסוּבֵּֽנִי׃ | 5 |
Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
הַבֹּטְחִים עַל־חֵילָם וּבְרֹב עׇשְׁרָם יִתְהַלָּֽלוּ׃ | 6 |
They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
אָח לֹא־פָדֹה יִפְדֶּה אִישׁ לֹא־יִתֵּן לֵאלֹהִים כׇּפְרֽוֹ׃ | 7 |
No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
וְיֵקַר פִּדְיוֹן נַפְשָׁם וְחָדַל לְעוֹלָֽם׃ | 8 |
Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
וִיחִי־עוֹד לָנֶצַח לֹא יִרְאֶה הַשָּֽׁחַת׃ | 9 |
And shall still live unto the end.
כִּי יִרְאֶה ׀ חֲכָמִים יָמוּתוּ יַחַד כְּסִיל וָבַעַר יֹאבֵדוּ וְעָזְבוּ לַאֲחֵרִים חֵילָֽם׃ | 10 |
He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
קִרְבָּם בָּתֵּימוֹ ׀ לְֽעוֹלָם מִשְׁכְּנֹתָם לְדוֹר וָדֹר קָרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹתָם עֲלֵי אֲדָמֽוֹת׃ | 11 |
And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
וְאָדָם בִּיקָר בַּל־יָלִין נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמוֹת נִדְמֽוּ׃ | 12 |
And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
זֶה דַרְכָּם כֵּסֶל לָמוֹ וְאַחֲרֵיהֶם ׀ בְּפִיהֶם יִרְצוּ סֶֽלָה׃ | 13 |
This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
כַּצֹּאן ׀ לִשְׁאוֹל שַׁתּוּ מָוֶת יִרְעֵם וַיִּרְדּוּ בָם יְשָׁרִים ׀ לַבֹּקֶר (וצירם) [וְצוּרָם] לְבַלּוֹת שְׁאוֹל מִזְּבֻל לֽוֹ׃ (Sheol ) | 14 |
They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory. (Sheol )
אַךְ־אֱלֹהִים יִפְדֶּה נַפְשִׁי מִֽיַּד־שְׁאוֹל כִּי יִקָּחֵנִי סֶֽלָה׃ (Sheol ) | 15 |
But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, when he shall receive me. (Sheol )
אַל־תִּירָא כִּֽי־יַעֲשִׁר אִישׁ כִּי־יִרְבֶּה כְּבוֹד בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ | 16 |
Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
כִּי לֹא בְמוֹתוֹ יִקַּח הַכֹּל לֹֽא־יֵרֵד אַחֲרָיו כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃ | 17 |
For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
כִּֽי־נַפְשׁוֹ בְּחַיָּיו יְבָרֵךְ וְיוֹדֻךָ כִּי־תֵיטִיב לָֽךְ׃ | 18 |
For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
תָּבוֹא עַד־דּוֹר אֲבוֹתָיו עַד־נֵצַח לֹא יִרְאוּ־אֽוֹר׃ | 19 |
He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
אָדָם בִּיקָר וְלֹא יָבִין נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמוֹת נִדְמֽוּ׃ | 20 |
Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
