Sabuurradii 49
1 Dadyowga oo dhammow, bal tan maqla, Dunida kuwiinna degganow, kulligiin dhegta u dhiga,
For the leader. Of the Korahites. A psalm. Hear this, you peoples all; attend, all you who live in the world
2 Kuwiinna hoose iyo kuwiinna sare, Taajirrada iyo masaakiintoy, dhammaantiin wada maqla.
people of low degree and high, the rich and the poor together.
3 Afkaygu wuxuu ku hadli doonaa xigmad, Qalbigayguna wuxuu ka fikiri doonaa waxgarasho.
My mouth shall utter wisdom, the thoughts of a seeing heart.
4 Dhegtayda waxaan u dhigi doonaa masaal, Xujadaydana waxaan ku muujin doonaa kataaradda.
I incline my ear to a proverb, on the lyre I will open my riddle.
5 Haddaba bal maxaan u cabsanayaa wakhtiga shar jiro, Markii xumaanu cedhbahayga ku wareegsanto?
Why should I be afraid in the days of misfortune, when circled by wicked and cunning foes,
6 Kuwa maalkooda isku halleeya, Oo ku faana hodantinimadooda faraha badan,
who put their trust in their wealth, and boast of their boundless riches?
7 Midkoodna walaalkiis ma furan karo, Daraaddiisna Ilaah madaxfurasho uma siin karo,
For assuredly no one can ransom themselves, or give to God the price of their life,
8 (Waayo, furashada naftoodu waa qaali aad iyo aad, Kumana filna weligeedba, )
for the ransom of a life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
9 Inuu isagu weligiis sii noolaado, Oo aanu halligaad arkin weligiis.
to keep them alive for ever and ever, so as never to see the pit at all.
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.
But see it they will. Even wise people die, the fool and the brutish perish alike, and abandon their wealth to others.
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.
The grave is their everlasting home, the place they shall live in for ever and ever, though after their own names they called whole lands.
12 Laakiinse binu-aadmigu sharaf kuma waaro, Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.
Despite their wealth, they perish like dumb animals.
13 Jidkoodanu waa kalsoonidooda nacasnimada ah, Laakiinse dadka iyaga ka dambeeya ayaa hadalkoodii u boga. (Selaah)
This is the fate of the confident fool, and the end of those who are pleased with their portion. (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 descend to Sheol with Death for their shepherd; down they go straight to the grave, and their form wastes away in their home below. (Sheol h7585)
15 Laakiinse Ilaah naftayda wuu ka soo furan doonaa xoogga She'ool, Waayo, wuu i aqbali doonaa. (Selaah) (Sheol h7585)
But God will assuredly ransom my life from the hand of Sheol; for he will receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Ha baqin markii mid taajiroobo, Oo ammaanta reerkiisu aad u korodho,
So be not afraid when someone grows rich, when the wealth of their house increases.
17 Waayo, isagu markuu dhinto waxba sii qaadan maayo, Oo ammaantiisuna ka daba geli mayso.
Not a shred of it all can they take when they die, wealth cannot follow them down.
18 In kastoo uu naftiisa u duceeyey markuu noolaa, Oo dad adiga ku ammaana, kolkaad wax wanaagsan isu samaysid,
Though they count themselves happy, when they are alive, and win praise from many for faring so well,
19 Isagu wuxuu u tegi doonaa qarniyadii awowayaashiis, Oo iyana weligood iftiinka ma ay arki doonaan.
they must join their ancestors, who see the light nevermore.
20 Ninkii sharaf leh oo aan garaad lahaynu Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.
The wealthy are without understanding, they perish like dumb animals.
