Sabuurradii 49
1 Dadyowga oo dhammow, bal tan maqla, Dunida kuwiinna degganow, kulligiin dhegta u dhiga,
For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Listen to this, everyone! Pay attention, people of the world—
2 Kuwiinna hoose iyo kuwiinna sare, Taajirrada iyo masaakiintoy, dhammaantiin wada maqla.
whether you are highborn or lowborn, rich or poor!
3 Afkaygu wuxuu ku hadli doonaa xigmad, Qalbigayguna wuxuu ka fikiri doonaa waxgarasho.
For what I say is wise, and my thinking is perceptive.
4 Dhegtayda waxaan u dhigi doonaa masaal, Xujadaydana waxaan ku muujin doonaa kataaradda.
I pay attention to wise sayings; I answer hard questions to a tune on the harp.
5 Haddaba bal maxaan u cabsanayaa wakhtiga shar jiro, Markii xumaanu cedhbahayga ku wareegsanto?
Why should I be afraid when trouble comes, when evil enemies surround me?
6 Kuwa maalkooda isku halleeya, Oo ku faana hodantinimadooda faraha badan,
They trust in their wealth; they boast about their riches,
7 Midkoodna walaalkiis ma furan karo, Daraaddiisna Ilaah madaxfurasho uma siin karo,
but no one can pay to rescue another from death; no one can pay a ransom to God.
8 (Waayo, furashada naftoodu waa qaali aad iyo aad, Kumana filna weligeedba, )
Redemption is beyond price; no one could ever pay enough
9 Inuu isagu weligiis sii noolaado, Oo aanu halligaad arkin weligiis.
that they could live forever and not face the grave.
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.
Everyone knows that the wise die, those who are foolish and stupid too, leaving what they have to the next generation.
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.
They think their homes will last forever, that where they live will continue for all generations.
12 Laakiinse binu-aadmigu sharaf kuma waaro, Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.
But human beings, for all their fame, don't understand. They die, just like the animals.
13 Jidkoodanu waa kalsoonidooda nacasnimada ah, Laakiinse dadka iyaga ka dambeeya ayaa hadalkoodii u boga. (Selaah)
This is the way of foolish people, yet those who come after them think they were clever! (Selah)
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)
Like sheep they are destined for the grave. Death will be their shepherd. Those who live right will rule over them in the morning. Their bodies will decay in the grave, far from their homes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Laakiinse Ilaah naftayda wuu ka soo furan doonaa xoogga She'ool, Waayo, wuu i aqbali doonaa. (Selaah) (Sheol h7585)
But surely God will rescue me from the power of the grave; he will grab me back. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Ha baqin markii mid taajiroobo, Oo ammaanta reerkiisu aad u korodho,
Don't be disturbed when people become rich, filling their houses with possessions.
17 Waayo, isagu markuu dhinto waxba sii qaadan maayo, Oo ammaantiisuna ka daba geli mayso.
For they won't take anything with them when they die; their wealth will not go down into the grave with them.
18 In kastoo uu naftiisa u duceeyey markuu noolaa, Oo dad adiga ku ammaana, kolkaad wax wanaagsan isu samaysid,
They congratulate themselves for all they possess—people always praise you when you do well—
19 Isagu wuxuu u tegi doonaa qarniyadii awowayaashiis, Oo iyana weligood iftiinka ma ay arki doonaan.
but their destiny is the same as their forefathers: they will never again see the light of day.
20 Ninkii sharaf leh oo aan garaad lahaynu Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.
Human beings, for all their fame, don't understand, and they die, just like the animals.
