ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 49
1 ೧ ಪ್ರಧಾನಗಾಯಕನ ಕೀರ್ತನಸಂಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಆರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದು; ಕೋರಹೀಯರ ಕೀರ್ತನೆ. ಸಕಲ ದೇಶಗಳ ಜನರೇ, ಕೇಳಿರಿ; ಭೂಲೋಕದ ನಿವಾಸಿಗಳೇ, ಕಿವಿಗೊಡಿರಿ.
To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. Hear ye, this all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of this passing world;
Both sons of the low, And sons of the high, —Together both rich and needy: —
My mouth, shall speak forth Wisdom, And the soft utterance of my heart be Understanding:
I will bend, to a by-word, mine ear, I will open, on the lyre, mine enigma.
Wherefore should I fear in the days of calamity, Though the iniquity of them who lie in wait for me should enclose me?
As for them who are trusting in their wealth, —And, in the abundance of their riches, do boast themselves,
A brother, can none of them, redeem, he cannot give unto God a ransom for himself:
So costly, is the redemption of their soul, That it faileth unto times age-abiding;
9 ೯ ಮರಣವನ್ನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಎಷ್ಟು ಹಣ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೂ, ಸಾಲುವುದೇ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಅಂಥ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ನಿಷ್ಫಲವೆಂದು ತಿಳಿಯಬೇಕು.
That he should, yet, live on, continually, Should not see corruption.
10 ೧೦ ಸುಜ್ಞಾನಿಗಳು ಸಾಯುವುದನ್ನು ನೋಡುತ್ತೇವಲ್ಲಾ; ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಪಶುಗಳಂತಿರುವ ಜ್ಞಾನಹೀನರೂ ನಾಶವಾಗುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅವರು ನಂಬಿದ್ದ ಆಸ್ತಿಯು ಇತರರ ಪಾಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
For it is seen that, the wise, die, Together with the dullard, and the brutish, do they perish, And leave, to others, their wealth:
11 ೧೧ ಅವರ ಸಮಾಧಿಯೇ ಶಾಶ್ವತಮಂದಿರವು; ತಮ್ಮ ನಿವಾಸಗಳು ತಲತಲಾಂತರಕ್ಕೂ ಇರುವುದೆಂದು ಯೋಚಿಸಿ, ಭೂಮಿಗಳಿಗೆ ತಮ್ಮ ಹೆಸರುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
Their, inward thought, is that their houses are for times age-abiding, Their habitations, for generation after generation, —They give their own names unto lands!
But, a son of earth, though wealthy, cannot tarry, He hath made himself a by-word—Beasts, they resemble:
This, their way, is a folly to them, And yet, their followers, with their mouth, approve. (Selah)
14 ೧೪ ಅವರು ಕುರಿಗಳಂತೆ ಪಾತಾಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವರು; ಮೃತ್ಯುವೇ ಅವರ ಪಾಲಕನು. ಅವರು ನೇರವಾಗಿ ಪಾತಾಳಕ್ಕೆ ಇಳಿದುಹೋಗುವರು, ಅವರಿಗೆ ನಿವಾಸವಿಲ್ಲದ ಹಾಗೆ, ಪಾತಾಳವು ಅವರ ರೂಪವನ್ನು ನಾಶಮಾಡುವುದು. (Sheol h7585)
Like sheep—into hades, are they driven, Death shall shepherd them, —And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, Even their form, is to decay, Hades, is all that remaineth of a habitation for him. (Sheol h7585)
15 ೧೫ ಆದರೆ ದೇವರು ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಾಣವನ್ನು ಮೃತ್ಯುಹಸ್ತದಿಂದ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿ, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಸ್ವೀಕಾರಮಾಡುವನು. (ಸೆಲಾ) (Sheol h7585)
But, God, will redeem my soul, out of the hand of hades, For he will take me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Do not fear, When a man becometh rich, When the glory of his house increaseth;
For, when he dieth, he shall take, nothing, his glory shall not descend after him;
18 ೧೮ ಸಿರಿ ಬಂದಾಗ ನೆರೆಯವರ ಹೊಗಳಿಕೆ ತಪ್ಪದು ಎಂಬಂತೆ, ಅವನು ಜೀವಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಆತ್ಮಸ್ತುತಿಯಿಂದಲೂ, ಜನರಸ್ತುತಿಯಿಂದಲೂ ಕೂಡಿದವನಾದರೂ,
For, though, his own self—while he lived, he used to bless, And they will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,
He shall enter as far as the circle of his fathers, Nevermore, shall they see the light.
A son of earth though wealthy, who discerneth not, Hath made himself a by-word, Beasts, they resemble.
