Sams-Zgame 49

1 Nanekema hanuana maka vahe'motma nentahinkeno, ama mopafima mani'naza maka vahe'mo'zanena zamagesa ante'za antahiho!

For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Listen to this, everyone! Pay attention, people of the world—

2 Marerifa vahe'ma, tami vahe'ma, feno vahe'ma, tamunte omne vahe'motanena antahiho!

whether you are highborn or lowborn, rich or poor!

3 Na'ankure knare antahi'zamofo naneke huama nehugeno, nagu'afina antahi ama' hu antahizamo avite'ne.

For what I say is wise, and my thinking is perceptive.

4 Nagra knare antahi'zamofo nanekegu nagesa ante'na nentahi'na, hapu zavena nehe'na, fraki nanekea zagamepi erinte ama hu'na hugahue.

I pay attention to wise sayings; I answer hard questions to a tune on the harp.

5 Hazenke zama ne-enigeno, ha' vahe'mo'zama eme navazagi kagisazana, nahanige'na nagra korora hugahue?

Why should I be afraid when trouble comes, when evil enemies surround me?

6 Zamagra fenoma ante'naza zante zamentintia nehu'za, tusi zago fenoma ante'naza zanku zamavufa ra hu'za akagi neraze.

They trust in their wealth; they boast about their riches,

7 Tagra antahi'none, mago vahe'mo'a frizampintira agra'a aguravazige, Anumzamofona atesinteno nefuna ovaregosie.

but no one can pay to rescue another from death; no one can pay a ransom to God.

8 Mago mizantetira vahe'mo'a atesino, agra'a agu'vazigara osu'ne. Na'ankure mago mizantetira mizaseno,

Redemption is beyond price; no one could ever pay enough

9 frino onkasarino, manivava huno ovugosie.

that they could live forever and not face the grave.

10 Negonke'za knare antahi'zane vahe'mo'za nefrizageno, ana hukna hu'za neginagi vahe'ene antahintahi omne vahe'mo'zanena nefrizage'za, ru vahe'mo'za ana vahe'mokizmi fenozana erisanti neharaze.

Everyone knows that the wise die, those who are foolish and stupid too, leaving what they have to the next generation.

11 Ana vahe'mo'za rama'a mopa eri'za zamagia ana mopazmirera asamregahazanagi, matimati'mo'a manivava nonkumazmi senige'za fri'za matipi umanigahaze.

They think their homes will last forever, that where they live will continue for all generations.

12 Hagi fenoma antene'za ra zamagima e'neriza vahe'mofo zamagimo'a zazatera meno ovugahianki, zagagafama fri fananema nehiaza hu'za fri'nageno, zamagimo'a fanane hugahie.

But human beings, for all their fame, don't understand. They die, just like the animals.

13 Hagi knare vahe mani'none hu'za neginagi vahe'mo'zama nehaza vahete'ene, ana vahe'mokizmi kere'ma zamentintima nehaza vahete ama anazana fore hugahie.

This is the way of foolish people, yet those who come after them think they were clever! (Selah)

14 Sipisipi afute kva vahe'mo, sipisipi afutami zamavareno viaza huno fri'zamo'a zamavareno fri vahe kumapina vugahie. Hagi nanteramasena Anumzamofo vahe'mo'za kegava huzmantegahaze. Kumazmimofona afete'are matipi zamavufagamo'a kasrigahie. (Sheol h7585)

Like sheep they are destined for the grave. Death will be their shepherd. Those who live right will rule over them in the morning. Their bodies will decay in the grave, far from their homes. (Sheol h7585)

15 Hianagi nagrira nagu'nevazino, fri'zamofo hihamufintira Anumzamo'a eri varino navaregahie. (Sheol h7585)

But surely God will rescue me from the power of the grave; he will grab me back. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

16 Hagi vahe'mo'zama rama'a fenoma ante'za hage'za mareneri'nageno, nonkumazmifima knare zantmimo'ma avimatesia zankura korora osiho.

Don't be disturbed when people become rich, filling their houses with possessions.

17 Na'ankure zamagrama frisageno'a, maka fenozamimo'a amanezankna hugahiankino, anazana eri'ne'za fri kantega ovugahaze.

For they won't take anything with them when they die; their wealth will not go down into the grave with them.

18 Kasefama huno mani'nea knafina maka zampina knare hu'noe huno agra'a husga nehanigeno, vahe'mo'zanena humuse huntegahaze.

They congratulate themselves for all they possess—people always praise you when you do well—

19 Hianagi ko'ma zamagehe'zama hu'nazaza hu'za fri'za nevu'za mago'enena zagemo'ma remsa hania masa onkegahaze.

but their destiny is the same as their forefathers: they will never again see the light of day.

20 Hagi fenozmigu'ma akagima neraza vahe'mo'za zamagra maka zana antahi anira nosazanki'za, afukra friaza huza frigahaze.

Human beings, for all their fame, don't understand, and they die, just like the animals.
