Faarfannaa 49
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa namoota, isin hundi waan kana dhagaʼaa; warri addunyaa kana irra jiraattan hundinuu dhaggeeffadhaa;
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all [ye] people; 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 of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding.
4 Gurra koo gara mammaaksaatti nan qabadha; hibboo koos baganaadhaan nan ibsadha.
I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Bara rakkinaa, yeroo gowwoomsitoonni hamoon na marsanitti, ani maaliifan sodaadha?
Why should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall encompass me?
6 Isaan qabeenya isaanii amanatu; guddina sooruma isaaniitiinis boonu.
They 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;
None [of them] 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 the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it ceaseth for ever: )
9 silaa inni bara baraan ni jiraata; hin tortorus ture.
That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption.
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, likewise the fool and the brutish person 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.
Nevertheless man [being] 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.
This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity 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 laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. (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 grave: 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 is made 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 shall carry nothing away: his glory 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: and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19 inni gara dhaloota abbootii isaa, gara warra gonkumaa deebiʼanii ifa jireenyaa hin arginee ni dhaqa.
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Namni badhaadhaan hubannaa hin qabne, akkuma bineensaa duʼee bada.
Man [that is] in honor, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.
