Psalmorum 49
1 Psalmus David, in finem, filiis Core. Audite haec omnes Gentes: auribus percipite omnes, qui habitatis orbem:
To victorie, a salm to the sones of Chore. Alle ye folkis, here these thingis; alle ye that dwellen in the world, perseyue with eeris.
2 Quique terrigenae, et filii hominum: simul in unum dives et pauper.
Alle the sones of erthe and the sones of men; togidere the riche man and the pore in to oon.
3 Os meum loquetur sapientiam: et meditatio cordis mei prudentiam.
Mi mouth schal speke wisdom; and the thenkyng of myn herte schal speke prudence.
4 Inclinabo in parabolam aurem meam: aperiam in psalterio propositionem meam.
I schal bouwe doun myn eere in to a parable; Y schal opene my resoun set forth in a sautree.
5 Cur timebo in die mala? iniquitas calcanei mei circumdabit me:
Whi schal Y drede in the yuel dai? the wickidnesse of myn heele schal cumpasse me.
6 Qui confidunt in virtute sua: et in multitudine divitiarum suarum gloriantur.
Whiche tristen in her owne vertu; and han glorie in the multitude of her richessis.
7 Frater non redimit, redimet homo: non dabit Deo placationem suam.
A brother ayenbieth not, schal a man ayenbie? and he schal not yyue to God his plesyng.
8 Et pretium redemptionis animae suae: et laborabit in aeternum,
And he schal not yyue the prijs of raunsum of his soule; and he schal trauele with outen ende,
9 et vivet adhuc in finem.
and he schal lyue yit in to the ende.
10 Non videbit interitum, cum viderit sapientes morientes: simul insipiens, et stultus peribunt. Et relinquent alienis divitias suas:
He schal not se perischyng, whanne he schal se wise men diynge; the vnwise man and fool schulen perische togidere. And thei schulen leeue her richessis to aliens;
11 et sepulchra eorum domus illorum in aeternum. Tabernacula eorum in progenie, et progenie: vocaverunt nomina sua in terris suis.
and the sepulcris of hem ben the housis of hem with outen ende. The tabernaclis of hem ben in generacioun and generacioun; thei clepiden her names in her londis.
12 Et homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit: comparatus est iumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.
A man, whanne he was in honour, vndurstood not; he is comparisound to vnwise beestis, and he is maad lijk to tho.
13 Haec via illorum scandalum ipsis: et postea in ore suo complacebunt.
This weie of hem is sclaundir to hem; and aftirward thei schulen plese togidere in her mouth.
14 Sicut oves in inferno positi sunt: mors depascet eos. Et dominabuntur eorum iusti in matutino: et auxilium eorum veterascet in inferno a gloria eorum. (Sheol h7585)
As scheep thei ben set in helle; deth schal gnawe hem. And iust men schulen be lordis of hem in the morewtid; and the helpe of hem schal wexe eld in helle, for the glorie of hem. (Sheol h7585)
Netheles God schal ayenbie my soule from the power of helle; whanne he schal take me. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ne timueris cum dives factus fuerit homo: et cum multiplicata fuerit gloria domus eius.
Drede thou not, whanne a man is maad riche; and the glorie of his hows is multiplied.
17 Quoniam cum interierit, non sumet omnia: neque descendet cum eo gloria eius.
For whanne he schal die, he schal not take alle thingis; and his glorie schal not go doun with him.
18 Quia anima eius in vita ipsius benedicetur: confitebitur tibi cum benefeceris ei.
For his soule schal be blessid in his lijf; he schal knouleche to thee, whanne thou hast do wel to hym.
19 Introibit usque in progenies patrum suorum: et usque in aeternum non videbit lumen.
He schal entre til in to the generaciouns of hise fadris; and til in to with outen ende he schal not se liyt.
20 Homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit: comparatus est iumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.
A man, whanne he was in honour, vndurstood not; he is comparisound to vnwise beestis, and is maad lijk to tho.
