Faarfannaa 49

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa namoota, isin hundi waan kana dhagaʼaa; warri addunyaa kana irra jiraattan hundinuu dhaggeeffadhaa;

For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,

2 xinnaa fi guddaan, sooressii fi hiyyeessi walumaan dhaggeeffadhaa; kunis:

Both low and high, rich and poor together.

3 Afaan koo dubbii ogummaa dubbata; wanti ani garaatti yaadus hubannaa kenna.

My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.

4 Gurra koo gara mammaaksaatti nan qabadha; hibboo koos baganaadhaan nan ibsadha.

I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

5 Bara rakkinaa, yeroo gowwoomsitoonni hamoon na marsanitti, ani maaliifan sodaadha?

Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasseth me about,

6 Isaan qabeenya isaanii amanatu; guddina sooruma isaaniitiinis boonu.

Of them that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches?

7 Namni lubbuu nama gara biraa furu, yookaan gatii furii nama sanaa Waaqaaf baasu tokko iyyuu hin jiru;

No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him —

8 furiin lubbuu namaa gatii guddaa qabaatii; gatiin quufsaanis yoom iyyuu hin argamu;

For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever —

9 silaa inni bara baraan ni jiraata; hin tortorus ture.

That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit.

10 Akka ogeeyyiin duʼan namni hundinuu ni arga; gowwoonnii fi raatuwwanis akkasuma ni badu; qabeenya isaaniis warra kaaniif dhiisu.

For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others.

11 Isaan yoo lafa maqaa isaaniitiin waamamtu qabaatan illee, awwaalli isaanii bara baraan mana isaanii, dhalootaa hamma dhalootaattis iddoo boqonnaa isaanii taʼee hafa.

Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling-places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

12 Namni garuu qabeenya qabaatu illee bara dheeraa hin jiraatu; inni akkuma bineensa duʼee baduu ti.

But man abideth not in honour; he is like the beasts that perish.

13 Wanni namoota ofitti amanatanii fi warra isaan duukaa buʼanii dubbii isaanii hoʼisan eeggatu kanuma.

This is the way of them that are foolish, and of those who after them approve their sayings. (Selah)

14 Isaan akkuma hoolaa duʼaaf ramadamaniiru; duuti tiksee isaanii ti; toloonni ganamaan isaan irratti aangoo qabaatu; dhagni isaanii mana isaanii irraa fagaatee awwaala keessatti ni tortora; awwaallis mana jireenya isaanii ti. (Sheol h7585)

Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, that there be no habitation for it. (Sheol h7585)

15 Waaqni garuu lubbuu koo humna siiʼool jalaa baasa; inni dhugumaan ofitti na fudhata. (Sheol h7585)

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether-world; for He shall receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

16 Yommuu namni tokko sooromu, yommuu ulfinni mana isaas guddatu hin sodaatin.

Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, when the wealth of his house is increased;

17 Inni yommuu duʼutti waanuma tokko illee fudhatee hin deemuutii; ulfinni isaas isa wajjin hin dhaqu.

For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his wealth shall not descend after him.

18 Inni bara jireenya isaa lubbuu isaa eebbisu iyyuu, yoo namoonni yeroo ati waan gaarii ofii keetii godhattutti si jajan illee,

Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself';

19 inni gara dhaloota abbootii isaa, gara warra gonkumaa deebiʼanii ifa jireenyaa hin arginee ni dhaqa.

It shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see the light.

20 Namni badhaadhaan hubannaa hin qabne, akkuma bineensaa duʼee bada.

Man that is in honour understandeth not; he is like the beasts that perish.
