भजन संहिता 49
1 १ प्रधान बजानेवाले के लिये कोरहवंशियों का भजन हे देश-देश के सब लोगों यह सुनो! हे संसार के सब निवासियों, कान लगाओ!
“To the chief musician, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the perishable world:
Both the sons of the low and the sons of the high, rich and needy, altogether.
My mouth shall speak wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open with the harp my riddle.
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my oppressors encompasseth me?—
Of those that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves of the multitude of their riches?
7 ७ उनमें से कोई अपने भाई को किसी भाँति छुड़ा नहीं सकता है; और न परमेश्वर को उसके बदले प्रायश्चित में कुछ दे सकता है
No one can in any wise redeem his brother, nor can he give to God redemption money for himself;
For the ransom of their soul is too costly, and it is omitted for ever.
And should he still live for ever? not see the pit?
10 १० क्योंकि देखने में आता है कि बुद्धिमान भी मरते हैं, और मूर्ख और पशु सरीखे मनुष्य भी दोनों नाश होते हैं, और अपनी सम्पत्ति दूसरों के लिये छोड़ जाते हैं।
For he must see that wise men die, that together the fool and the brutish person perish and leave to others their wealth.
11 ११ वे मन ही मन यह सोचते हैं, कि उनका घर सदा स्थिर रहेगा, और उनके निवास पीढ़ी से पीढ़ी तक बने रहेंगे; इसलिए वे अपनी-अपनी भूमि का नाम अपने-अपने नाम पर रखते हैं।
Their inward thought is, that their houses are to be for ever, their dwelling-places, from generation to generation; they call them by their own names in [various] countries.
Nevertheless man in [his] splendor endureth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.
This is their way, their folly: yet their posterity will take pleasure in their sayings. (Selah)
14 १४ वे अधोलोक की मानो भेड़ों का झुण्ड ठहराए गए हैं; मृत्यु उनका गड़रिया ठहरेगा; और भोर को सीधे लोग उन पर प्रभुता करेंगे; और उनका सुन्दर रूप अधोलोक का कौर हो जाएगा और उनका कोई आधार न रहेगा। (Sheol h7585)
Like flocks are they thrust into the nether world; death will feed them; but the upright shall have dominion over them in that morning, and their form wasteth away in the nether world, [taken away] from their own dwelling. (Sheol h7585)
15 १५ परन्तु परमेश्वर मेरे प्राण को अधोलोक के वश से छुड़ा लेगा, वह मुझे ग्रहण करके अपनाएगा। (Sheol h7585)
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether world; for he will take me away. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Be not thou afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
For when he dieth he can take nothing away; his glory will not descend after him.
18 १८ चाहे वह जीते जी अपने आपको धन्य कहता रहे। जब तू अपनी भलाई करता है, तब वे लोग तेरी प्रशंसा करते हैं
For though he bless his soul during his life, and men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself:
She shall go to the generation of his fathers, unto eternity will these never see light.
20 २० मनुष्य चाहे प्रतिष्ठित भी हों परन्तु यदि वे समझ नहीं रखते तो वे पशुओं के समान हैं, जो मर मिटते हैं।
Man, though in splendor, who understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. °
