Sabuurradii 49

1 Dadyowga oo dhammow, bal tan maqla, Dunida kuwiinna degganow, kulligiin dhegta u dhiga,

For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. Hear these words, all ye nations, hearken, all ye that dwell upon the earth:

2 Kuwiinna hoose iyo kuwiinna sare, Taajirrada iyo masaakiintoy, dhammaantiin wada maqla.

both the sons of mean men, and sons of [great] men; the rich and poor [man] together.

3 Afkaygu wuxuu ku hadli doonaa xigmad, Qalbigayguna wuxuu ka fikiri doonaa waxgarasho.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall bring [forth] understanding.

4 Dhegtayda waxaan u dhigi doonaa masaal, Xujadaydana waxaan ku muujin doonaa kataaradda.

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my riddle on the harp.

5 Haddaba bal maxaan u cabsanayaa wakhtiga shar jiro, Markii xumaanu cedhbahayga ku wareegsanto?

Wherefore should I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall compass me.

6 Kuwa maalkooda isku halleeya, Oo ku faana hodantinimadooda faraha badan,

They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—

7 Midkoodna walaalkiis ma furan karo, Daraaddiisna Ilaah madaxfurasho uma siin karo,

A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? he shall not give to God a ransom for himself,

8 (Waayo, furashada naftoodu waa qaali aad iyo aad, Kumana filna weligeedba, )

or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labour for ever,

9 Inuu isagu weligiis sii noolaado, Oo aanu halligaad arkin weligiis.

and live to the end, [so] that he should not see corruption.

10 Waayo, isagu wuxuu arkaa inay dadka xigmadda lahu wada dhintaan, Iyo in nacasyada iyo doqonnaduba ay wada baabba'aan, Oo ay maalkooda kuwa kale uga tagaan.

When he shall see wise men dying, the fool and the senseless one shall perish together; and they shall leave their wealth to strangers.

11 Waxay ismoodsiiyaan inay guryahoodu weligoodba sii jirayaan, Iyo in meelaha rugtooda ahu ay sii raagayaan tan iyo qarniyada oo dhan, Oo dhulalkoodana way isku magacaabaan.

And their sepulchres are their houses for ever, [even] their tabernacles to all generations: they have called their lands after their own names.

12 Laakiinse binu-aadmigu sharaf kuma waaro, Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.

And man being in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like to them.

13 Jidkoodanu waa kalsoonidooda nacasnimada ah, Laakiinse dadka iyaga ka dambeeya ayaa hadalkoodii u boga. (Selaah)

This their way is an offence to them: yet afterwards men will commend their sayings. (Pause)

14 Iyagu waxaa weeye adhi She'ool loo wado, Oo waxaa sida adhijir u ahaan doona dhimasho, Oo kuwa qumman ayaa iyaga subaxda u talin doona, Oo quruxdoodana waxaa baabbi'in doona She'ool, inaanay iyagu rug yeelan innaba. (Sheol h7585)

They have laid [them] as sheep in Hades; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, and their help shall fail in Hades from their glory. (Sheol h7585)

15 Laakiinse Ilaah naftayda wuu ka soo furan doonaa xoogga She'ool, Waayo, wuu i aqbali doonaa. (Selaah) (Sheol h7585)

But God shall deliver my soul from the power of Hades, when he shall receive me. (Pause) (Sheol h7585)

16 Ha baqin markii mid taajiroobo, Oo ammaanta reerkiisu aad u korodho,

Fear not when a man is enriched, and when the glory of his house is increased.

17 Waayo, isagu markuu dhinto waxba sii qaadan maayo, Oo ammaantiisuna ka daba geli mayso.

For he shall take nothing when he dies; neither shall his glory descend with him.

18 In kastoo uu naftiisa u duceeyey markuu noolaa, Oo dad adiga ku ammaana, kolkaad wax wanaagsan isu samaysid,

For his soul shall be blessed in his life: he shall give thanks to thee when thou dost well to him.

19 Isagu wuxuu u tegi doonaa qarniyadii awowayaashiis, Oo iyana weligood iftiinka ma ay arki doonaan.

[Yet] he shall go in to the generation of his fathers; he shall never see light.

20 Ninkii sharaf leh oo aan garaad lahaynu Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.

Man that is in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like them.
