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 of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” Hear this, all ye nations; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world;
2 xinnaa fi guddaan, sooressii fi hiyyeessi walumaan dhaggeeffadhaa; kunis:
Both high and low, rich and poor alike!
3 Afaan koo dubbii ogummaa dubbata; wanti ani garaatti yaadus hubannaa kenna.
My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my mind shall be understanding.
4 Gurra koo gara mammaaksaatti nan qabadha; hibboo koos baganaadhaan nan ibsadha.
I will incline mine ear to a poem; I will utter my song upon the harp.
5 Bara rakkinaa, yeroo gowwoomsitoonni hamoon na marsanitti, ani maaliifan sodaadha?
Why should I fear in the days of adversity, When the iniquity of my adversaries encompasseth me;
6 Isaan qabeenya isaanii amanatu; guddina sooruma isaaniitiinis boonu.
They who trust in their riches, And glory in the greatness of their wealth?
7 Namni lubbuu nama gara biraa furu, yookaan gatii furii nama sanaa Waaqaaf baasu tokko iyyuu hin jiru;
No one can redeem his brother from death, Nor give a ransom for him to God,
8 furiin lubbuu namaa gatii guddaa qabaatii; gatiin quufsaanis yoom iyyuu hin argamu;
That he should live to eternity, And not see the pit.
9 silaa inni bara baraan ni jiraata; hin tortorus ture.
Too costly is the redemption of his life, And he giveth it up for ever.
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, As well as the foolish and the ignorant; They perish alike, 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.
They imagine that their houses will endure for ever, And their dwelling-places from generation to generation: Men celebrate their names on the earth.
12 Namni garuu qabeenya qabaatu illee bara dheeraa hin jiraatu; inni akkuma bineensa duʼee baduu ti.
Yet man, who is in honor, abideth not; He is like the beasts that perish.
13 Wanni namoota ofitti amanatanii fi warra isaan duukaa buʼanii dubbii isaanii hoʼisan eeggatu kanuma.
Such is the way which is their confidence! And they who come after them approve their maxims. (Pause)
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 cast into the underworld; Death shall feed upon them; And the upright shall soon trample upon them. Their form shall be consumed in the underworld, And they shall no more have a dwelling-place. (Sheol h7585)
15 Waaqni garuu lubbuu koo humna siiʼool jalaa baasa; inni dhugumaan ofitti na fudhata. (Sheol h7585)
But God will redeem my life from the underworld; Yea, he will take me under his care. (Pause) (Sheol h7585)
16 Yommuu namni tokko sooromu, yommuu ulfinni mana isaas guddatu hin sodaatin.
Be not thou afraid, when one becometh rich; When the glory 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 will carry nothing away; His glory will 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 in his life he thought himself happy, —Though men praised thee, while thou wast in prosperity, —
19 inni gara dhaloota abbootii isaa, gara warra gonkumaa deebiʼanii ifa jireenyaa hin arginee ni dhaqa.
Yet shalt thou go to the dwelling-place of thy fathers, Who never more shall see the light!
20 Namni badhaadhaan hubannaa hin qabne, akkuma bineensaa duʼee bada.
The man who is in honor, but without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish.
